Why sync Xiaomi Smart Scale 2 with your smartphone?
Xiaomi Smart Scale 2 is not just a weight measurement device; it analyzes 13 key body parameters, including fat percentage, muscle mass and water level, but all this information becomes really useful only after synchronization with the mobile application.

Make sure your phone is enabled with Bluetooth 4.0+ (in settings)
Put the scales on a flat, hard surface (not a carpet!)
Charge the scales (if the indicator flashes red - charging is required)
Create a Xiaomi account (or log in via Google/Facebook)
-->
Pay special attention to the placement of weights:
- π« Do not put on soft surfaces (carpet, palace) - this distorts the readings of sensors.
- π Minimum distance from walls or furniture β 10 cm (for proper operation of sensors).
- π If the scales aren't on, check charging contacts (a common problem after long storage).

If the scales show a Lo error (low charge), connect them to the network for 2-3 hours. the Charging indicator should burn blue (not red!) - this means that the battery is charging.

The algorithm is similar, but there are nuances:
- π± In iPhone settings β Confidentiality β Geolocation Services Allow Access to Mi Fit/Zepp Life.
- π After connecting, reset the scales (press the button for 5 seconds) if the data is not synced.
- π² Zepp Life for iOS may require additional permission to notify.
What if the scales are not determined by the application?
Profile setting and weight calibration
After the connection, you need to fill in personal data - the accuracy of measurements depends on this. In the application, go to the Profile β Edit and specify:
- π€ Gender (male/female)
- π Growth (in centimeters)
- π Age.
- ποΈββοΈ Target weight (optional)
π‘
Without precise indication of height and age, fat and muscle mass percentages will be distorted by 10-15%.
Calibration of the scales is performed automatically at the first weighing, but sometimes manual adjustment is required:
- Stand on the scale without shoes (better barefoot).
- Wait 5-7 seconds until a stable value appears on the display.
- Compare the readings with mechanical weights (acceptable error - Β± 0.1 kg).
- If the difference is greater, reset the weight settings (press the button for 10 seconds) and reconnect.
β οΈ Note: If you use scales on an uneven floor (for example, laminate with changes), the readings may differ from the Β±0.3β0.5 kg. For accuracy, put a thin rubber substrate under the scales (comes complete).
Addressing common problems
Even with the right connection, users are faced with common errors, and here's how to fix them:
| Problem. | Reason. | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Libras not included | Battery discharged | Connect to charging for 2+ hours (the indicator should burn blue) |
| App doesn't see scales | Bluetooth conflict | Turn off Bluetooth for 30 seconds, then turn it on again. |
| Err error on display | Overload (max. weight - 150 kg) | Remove the excess weight from the platform, reset the settings (press the button) |
| Data not stored | No internet or account problems | Check your network connection and re-enter your Xiaomi account |
If the scales show unrealistic values (for example, 0% fat or 100 kg of muscle), most likely, the personal data in the profile is incorrectly indicated.

To reset the scales to the factory, press the switch on for 15 seconds until the indicator blinks. Then reconnect as a new device.
How to use weights after connecting
Now that sync is complete, you can use all the features of Xiaomi Smart Scale 2:
- π Progress tracking: Data is automatically stored in the app after each weigh-in.

- π€ Data Export: In Mi Fit, go to Profile β Settings β Exporting data to Google Fit or Apple Health.
