How to Lose the Weights of Xiaomi Mi Smart Scale 2: All Ways of 2026

Why do you need to reset the scales of the Mi Smart Scale 2?

Xiaomi Mi Smart Scale 2 has become a popular gadget for controlling weight and body composition, but even these sometimes require a complete reset. The main reasons are sync errors with the Mi Fit application, incorrect readings after a firmware update or a change of owner of the device. Resets the scales back to factory settings, removing all stored user data and account binding.

It is important to understand that after resetting, you will have to reconnect the scales to the application and calibrate them. If the problem is related to mechanical damage (for example, broken glass or broken sensors), reset will not help - you will need repair or replacement. In this article, we will discuss all the current methods of resetting, including hidden functions that are not written in the official instructions.

Before you start, make sure you have the latest version of the Mi Fit app installed (or Zepp Life for newer models) Older versions may not support some reset features, especially if the scales haven't been updated for a long time.

Method 1: Software reset via Mi Fit application

The safest method is to use an official app, which is suitable if the scales are connected to the smartphone and respond to commands.

1. Open the Mi Fit app and go to Profile → Devices section.
2. Choose your Mi Smart Scale 2 scale from the list of connected gadgets.
3. Press three points (⋮) in the upper right corner and select Device Settings.
4. Scroll down and find the option to Remove the device or Reset settings.
5. Confirm the action - the scales will be untied from the account and return to the factory settings.

⚠️ Warning: After this method, the scales may not immediately appear in the list of devices available for connection. If this happens, turn off and turn on Bluetooth on the smartphone or restart it.

Update the Mi Fit app to the latest version

Make sure the scales are charged (the indicator does not flash red)

Open Bluetooth settings on your smartphone

Close all background applications that may interfere with communications-->

If there is no reset option in the application, this may mean that:

• 📱 You have an outdated version of Mi Fit (update it via Google Play or App Store).
• 🔄 Scales have not synced with the app for more than 3 months (manual reset required).
• 🔧 The device was tied to another region (e.g., the Chinese version of Mi Fit).

Method 2: Hardware reset button on scales

When software reset is not possible (e.g., the scales are not connected to the phone), use a physical button on the case. This method works even if the gadget is discharged or locked.

Instructions:

1. Turn the scales over and find a small hole labeled RESET next to the battery compartment.
2. Take a paper clip or a toothpick and press the button inside the hole. Hold it for 10 to 15 seconds until the indicator flashes three times red.
3. Release the button - the scales will automatically reset and reset.

⚠️ Warning: Do not use metal objects (needles, pins) to avoid damaging the contacts inside the hole.If the scales do not turn on after reset, check the batteries - they may have run out during the procedure.

Method 3: Reset by battery extraction (alternative method)

If the RESET button is not available or is not working, you can use a hard reset via power outage, which is suitable for all Mi Smart Scale models, including the Mi Body Composition Scale 2.

Step-by-step:

1. Turn the scales over and open the battery compartment (a coin or screwdriver will be required).
2. Remove all batteries for 5-10 minutes, allowing the capacitors to run out completely.
3. Press and hold the on button (if any) for 15 seconds to discharge the residual charge.
4. Insert the batteries back, observing the polarity, and turn on the scales.

After that, the scales should be loaded in the initial setting (blinking blue indicator). If the indicator is lit red, this means an error - check the batteries or repeat the procedure.

💡

If the scales don't turn on after the batteries are removed, try using new Duracell or Energizer batteries. Cheap analogs may not provide enough current to initialize the sensors.

Solving problems after discharge

Even after a successful reset, users often face difficulties, and here are the most common ones and ways to fix them:

• 🔴 Libras do not connect to Mi Fit: Remove the app cache in smartphone settings (Settings) → Annexes → Mi Fit → Memory. → Clear the cache. Restart the phone and reconnect.
• ⚖️ Incorrect weight readings: Put the scales on a flat hard surface (not on the carpet!) and calibrate through the device settings → Calibration in the annex.
• 🔋 Fast battery discharge: Reset could have put the scales back on the high-power factory firmware.Refresh the firmware through Mi Fit.
• 📶 Blinking blue light constantly: This means a standby mode. Close Mi Fit, turn off/on Bluetooth and start the app again.

If the scales after reset show an Err or LO error, this indicates a hardware problem (for example, a damaged sensor).In this case, contact the Xiaomi service center - self-repair can lead to loss of warranty.

How to avoid the need to reset in the future

To avoid the need to reset, follow these recommendations:

• 📲 Regularly update the firmware of the scales through Mi Fit (Settings section of the device) → Update of the PO).
• 🔋 Use high-quality alkaline batteries and replace them with pairs (even if only one sat down).
• 🧹 Clean the balances of dust and moisture with a soft napkin once a month.
• 📵 Do not put the scale near sources of strong electromagnetic interference (microwaves, routers).

Also, avoid frequent changes in Mi Fit accounts, which can lead to sync conflicts. If you sell scales, be sure to reset so that the new owner can connect them to their account.

💡

Regular firmware updates and the use of original batteries reduce the risk of failure by 70%.

Frequent Resetting Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Many users make the same mistakes that lead to a failed reset or damage to the scales.

• 🚫 Use sharp objects to press RESET: This can damage the board. Use only plastic or wooden tools.
• 🚫 Interrupt the reset process: If the indicator flashes, do not remove the batteries and do not press buttons until the procedure is completed.
• 🚫 Reset the scales during weighing: This can damage the sensors.Always perform the reset on a flat surface without load.
• 🚫 Use different types of batteries: For example, one alkaline and one salt – this causes unstable work.

If after resetting the scales stopped turning on, check:

1. Polarity of batteries (they must be installed) + ce +, − ce −).
2. Integrity of contacts in the battery compartment (when oxidized, clean them with a sweeper).
3. Having firmware updates in Mi Fit – sometimes a reset requires re-routing.
