How to connect scales Xiaomi Scale 2 to the phone: instructions with photos and solutions to problems

Xiaomi Mi Body Composition Scale 2 is not just a weight measurement device, but a full-fledged body composition analyzer with data synchronization via a smartphone. However, many users face difficulties when connecting for the first time: the device does not find the phone, the application does not see the scales, or data is not saved. In this article, we will analyze the step-by-step pairing instructions, consider common errors and give recommendations for setting up a profile for accurate measurements.

It's important to understand that the connection process is different for Android and iOS, and it also depends on the version of the Mi Fit app (now called Zepp Life in some regions). We've taken into account all the nuances, including the features of Bluetooth 5.0 and operating system requirements. If you've tried to connect scales but nothing has worked, don't rush them back to the store. 90% of the time, the problem is solved by setting up the application rights or resetting the device.

Preparation for connection: what to check before starting

Before you start synchronizing, make sure that all the preconditions are met, which will save time and eliminate unnecessary manipulation.

First, check the compatibility of your smartphone:

• 📱 Android: version 6.0 and higher, with Bluetooth 4.2 or later.
• 🍎 iPhone: iOS 12.0 and higher (starting with iPhone) 5S).
• 🔋 The charge level of the phone is not lower than 30% – this is important for a stable Bluetooth connection.

Second, prepare the scales themselves:

• 🔄 Remove the protective film from the battery compartment (if any) and install 4 batteries AAA. Polarity is indicated on the body.
• 📶 Place the scales on a flat hard surface - a carpet or soft coating will distort the readings.
• 🚫 Do not put the scale near sources of electromagnetic interference (microwave, router, wireless speakers).

Also make sure your phone has power-saving mode turned off — it can block Mi Fit background work. On Android, check it in battery settings, on iOS, in Battery → Battery status.

Installation and configuration of the Mi Fit (Zepp Life) application

The official weights app Xiaomi Scale 2 is Mi Fit (renamed Zepp Life in some countries), it can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play. It is important to use the latest version, as older releases may not support new devices.

After installation, follow the following steps:

1. Open the app and sign up (or sign in via your Xiaomi, Google, Apple ID account).
2. Fill in your user profile: gender, age, height and initial weight, and this data is used to correctly calculate body mass index (BMI) and other metrics.
3. In the Device menu → Add the device, select the Libra category.

If the app requests access to Notices, Locations or Physical Activity, allow these rights. Without them, the scales may not sync automatically. Android 12+ may also require permission for Precise Location, which is a system requirement for Bluetooth devices.

💡

If the Mi Fit app doesn’t find the scales, try temporarily disabling VPN or antivirus – they can block network requests.

Step-by-step: how to connect Xiaomi Scale 2 to the phone

Now, to the process of pairing, follow the instructions carefully, because the order of action is important.

Step 1. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone and open the Mi Fit app. Go to Profile → Devices → Add the device.

Step 2. In the list of devices, select Xiaomi Mi Body Composition Scale 2. If this model is not available, click Other Device and select manually.

Step 3: Press the scales with one foot to activate them. The scales should show 0.0, which means they are ready to connect.

Step 4: Wait for the app to find the scales (usually 10 to 30 seconds) and when the pairing request appears, confirm it.

Step 5: Once successfully connected, stand on the scale with your bare feet (for accurate body composition analysis), and the data is automatically synchronized with the application.

If it was successful, a tab will appear in the app with a history of measurements, and now every time you stand on the scale, the data will be automatically sent to Mi Fit (provided that Bluetooth is on and the phone is within a radius of 10 meters).

Setting up a user profile for accurate measurements

Xiaomi Scale 2 scales analyze not only weight, but also fat percentage, muscle mass, body water level and other parameters.

Go to Profile → Edit and check the following data:

• 👤 Gender: Male/female (analysis algorithms differ).
• 📏 Growth: Specify the exact growth in centimeters (increased error) ±1 cm is permissible).
• 🎂 Age: Important for calculating metabolic age.
• 🏃 Activity level: select from the list (low, medium, high).

Also in the weight settings (Devices → Xiaomi Scale 2 → Settings), you can turn on or off the following options:

If you use scales for multiple family members, add their profiles in the app. Go to Profile → User Management and create separate accounts. The scale automatically recognizes the user by weight (with an error of ±5 kg).

Common mistakes and their solutions

Even with the right connection, users sometimes face problems, and here are the most common ones and ways to fix them:

1. The scales are not turned on or responsive to pressing

• 🔋 Check the batteries: they must be new and properly installed (observe polarity).
• 🔄 Remove the batteries for 30 seconds, then set back.
• 📱 Make sure the scales are not connected to another phone (they only support one active connection).

2.The app does not find the scales

• 📶 Enable Bluetooth and Geolocation on your phone (on Android, also check the permission for the exact location).
• 🔄 Reboot phone and scales.
• 📱 Remove the scales from the list of Bluetooth devices in the phone settings and repeat pairing.

3. Data is not stored or synchronized with delay

• 📶 Check your Internet connection – a network is required to sync with the cloud.
• 🔄 Update the Mi Fit app to the latest version.
• 📱 In the phone settings, turn off battery optimization for Mi Fit (on Android: Settings) → Annexes → Mi Fit → Battery → No restrictions).

4.The scales show an incorrect weight or body composition

• 🧘 Stand on the scales with bare feet, evenly spreading the weight.
• 📏 Check if the growth is correct in the profile.
• 🚫 Do not weigh yourself immediately after eating, exercising or taking a bath – this distorts the results.

💡

If the scale shows an Err error, it means overload (maximum weight - 150 kg) or unstable surface. Move the scales to the hard floor and repeat the weighing.

How to lose weight Xiaomi Scale 2 to factory settings

If the scales are not working properly or you want to pass them on to another user, you may need to reset.
