Xiaomi Librating to Honor Smartphone: A Complete Guide to Error Solutions

Why Xiaomi Libras Don’t Want to Connect to Honor and How to Fix It

Xiaomi’s smart scales (Mi Body Composition Scale 2, Smart Scale 2, or Xiaomi Scale 3) should sync seamlessly with Honor smartphones — but in practice, users face connection errors, communication interruptions, or lack of data in the app. The problem is not brand incompatibility, but Bluetooth settings, firmware versions, or application conflicts. In this article, we’ll look at all the ways of binding, from standard synchronization via Mi Fit to workarounds for older Honor models.

It’s important to understand that Xiaomi and Honor (a Huawei sub-brand) use different ecosystems, but both support the Bluetooth 4.2+ standard that scales require. If your Honor is released after 2018 (e.g., Honor 10, Honor 20, Honor 50 or later), there should be no hardware compatibility issues, but owners of Honor 7X, Honor 8 or older models will have to consider the limitations of Android 8.0 and below – these versions of the OS may not support the latest Mi Fit app updates.

Before you start setting up, check out three key points:

• 📱 Android version: the minimum requirements for Mi Fit is Android 6.0, but for stable operation is better than Android 9.0+.
• 🔄 Scale firmware updates: If scales haven’t been updated in years, they may not be recognized by the phone.
• 🚫 Conflict apps: Google Fit, Huawei Health or S Health can block the connection.

Method 1: Standard binding via the Mi Fit application

The official synchronization method is Mi Fit (renamed Zepp Life in some regions), which works for 90% of users but requires precise steps to be taken, and if you skip one point (e.g., don’t turn on Bluetooth in advance), the scales won’t be determined.

Step instructions:

1. Install Mi Fit: Download the app from Google Play (for Honor with Google services) or AppGallery (for models without GMS).

If the scales are not displayed in the list of devices:

• 🔋 Check the battery (the indicator should burn on the scale).
• 📵 Make sure the scales are no further than 10 meters from the phone.
• 🔄 Reboot Bluetooth: Turn it off and turn it back on in Honor settings.

Method 2: Zepp Life (alternative to Mi Fit)

In 2022, Xiaomi began migrating some devices to the Zepp Life app (formerly Amazfit).If your scales aren't defined in Mi Fit, try this method. Zepp Life often works better with Honor, especially on models with EMUI 12+.

Algorithm of action:

1. Remove Mi Fit if it is installed (app conflict is a common cause of errors).
2. Download Zepp Life from Google Play or AppGallery.
3. Sign up with Xiaomi Account (use the same data as you do with Mi Fit to avoid losing your data history).
4. Go to "Devices → Add → Libra" and select a model.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen. If the scales are not, click "Handwise" and type in. MAC-address (on the sticker under the weights).

The advantages of Zepp Life over Mi Fit:

If both apps don't work, the problem may be the firmware of the scales, which can only be updated through Mi Fit (Device Settings → Firmware Update) and if the update isn't available, try to reset the scales to factory settings:

⚠️ Attention: Reset will delete all stored data from previous weigh-ins. To do this, press and hold the button on the scales (if any) for 10 seconds until the indicator flashes red. For models without a button, place an object weighing more than 10 kg on the scale and hold for 5 seconds.

Solving Connection Problems on Honor Smartphones

If Xiaomi scales are not synchronized with Honor, it may be the fault of:

• 🛑 Background locking of the application: EMUI Add Mi Fit or Zepp Life to Settings → Battery → Launching applications → Allow auto-start".
• 🔒 Permissions Limits: Check that the app has access to Bluetooth, Warehouse, and Geolocation (including background mode).
• 📵 Huawei Mobile Services: on models without Google Play (for example, Honor 30 Pro)+) manual installation may be required APK-Mi Fit file with support HMS.
• 🔄 Outdated Bluetooth: If your Honor only supports Bluetooth 4.0, Xiaomi Scale 3 scales BLE 5.0) may be connected unstablely.

Checklist for diagnosis:

1. Reboot the phone and scales.
2. Remove the scales from the list of conjugated devices in Settings → Bluetooth.
3. Disable VPNs or proxy servers – they can block access to Xiaomi servers.
4. Try connecting via another phone (such as Redmi or Samsung) to rule out a weights malfunction.

If nothing helps, try alternative apps:

• 📊 Google Fit: Supports importing data from Mi Fit, but not all weight models.

Setup of notifications and data export

After successfully tying the weights, set up automatic synchronization and notifications to avoid missing important changes.

1. Go to Profile → Settings → Notifications.
2. Turn on the options: 📈 "Reminder of weighing" (e.g. every morning). 🔍 "Body composition analysis" (if your weight model supports measurement of fat, muscle, water, etc). 📤 "Exporting data to Google Fit (if you need to integrate with other services).
