Hey! Is there any way to bind Aqara home with Xiaomi devices? @AqaraOfficial do you consider such an integration in the future?

I think the problem is on the Xiaomi side. Xiaomi Home is very closed, there’s basically zero integration with anything (you cannot bind it to Apple Home, Smart Things or anything, the only integration you have is some voice assistants, but it’s not the same). There there is partial Matter integration, but only one way - you can only pair some Matter devices with Xiaomi Home, but Xiaomi doesn’t expose anything as Matter.
There are some HomeBridge and HomeAssistant plugins, but they basically work by logging onto your Xiaomi account, so it’s “simulating” the Xiaomi Home app.
But technically it’s possible, I don’t know if it would be against Xiaomi’s TOS, because the plugins I mentioned may be “legal” just because you use them on your own responsibility
Hello @johnanddoe007
Xiaomi Home in Mainland China has integration with Aqara.
