The operation is the same as installing HACS. After adding it, log in to your Mijia account and you can use it.
Automatically identify all Mijia devices bound to the account. The one I bound is a Xiaomi router. After clicking Submit, you can control the Mijia devices.
At this point, we have realized using a fixed public network address to control Xiaomi devices at home remotely.
If it is an Apple HomeKit device, select设备与服务, click on the lower right corner添加集成, searchhomekit, selectApple, and then follow the guidance.
Through these two articles, we have implemented the deployment of HomeAssistant using Synology Docker and can access and control smart homes such as Mijia outdoors.
