Hi everyone, I’ve been exploring the possibility of integrating my Xiaomi devices into my home automation setup without using the Xiaomi gateway. My main concern is security, as I prefer not to rely on a Chinese cloud service. I’ve heard that Xiaomi devices communicate via Zigbee, so I’m curious if anyone has successfully integrated them without the gateway.
I’ve read that it’s possible, but I’m not entirely sure how to proceed. Does anyone have experience setting this up? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. I’d love to hear about your experiences or any challenges you’ve faced. Thanks in advance for your help!
