I’ve been on a journey to integrate my smart home devices seamlessly, and I wanted to share my recent success with the community! ![]()
Initially, I was struggling to connect my Xiaomi 360° Camera to HomeKit. After some research, I discovered that using the Xiaomi Miot Auto integration via HACS was the way to go. However, I encountered a hiccup where the camera wasn’t showing up in HomeKit despite being visible in Home Assistant. After some troubleshooting, I realized I needed to ensure the camera was properly paired and that the HomeKit configuration was set to discover new devices. Once that was sorted, everything fell into place! ![]()
This experience reminded me how important it is to double-check configurations and ensure all integrations are up to date. I also found the community’s tips on using ESPHome for custom firmware configurations incredibly helpful, especially for those looking to tweak their devices for better performance. ![]()
