Set up the MiHome Gateway through the MiHome app to open up the world of MiHome. After you set up your MiHome account, you choose the MiHome devices you want to control. Because it is a modular system, you can add which devices you want and how many you want. There is also the potential to utilise voice control with the integrations of Amazon Echo and Google Home. The MiHome Gateway provides the communications to the rest of your MiHome devices through radio frequency, and locally stores timers so in the instance of a connection issue, your MiHome system will still be able to respond to its timers. The MiHome Hand Controller is also another great alternative to control your devices when you are at home as this also runs through radio frequency.
