Xiaomi air grills are no longer just kitchen appliances — they have become part of the brand’s smart home ecosystem. With the official Mi Home app (or Xiaomi Home in new versions), device management is taking on a new level: remote temperature control, saving favorite recipes, notifications about the readiness of meals and even integration with voice assistants. But how to properly configure this app to take full advantage of the capabilities of aerogrill at 100%? And what hidden features are available only through a smartphone?
Many users are limited to basic buttons on the device body, without even knowing that through the application you can automatically adjust the cooking time depending on the weight of the product or get recipe recommendations based on your preferences. This article analyzes all the features of the mobile application for aerogrills Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer, Mi Air Fryer Pro and other models, as well as solving typical connection and synchronization problems.
If you've just unpacked a new aerogrill or you've been using it for a while, but you haven't tried to use your smartphone yet, this guide will help you set things up in 10 minutes, and for power users, we'll reveal a few life hacks that aren't written about in the official documentation.
What models of aerogrills Xiaomi support control through the application
Not all Xiaomi aerogrills are equipped with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth modules to connect to the app. Here is the current list of supported models (2026):
- 🔹 Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer 3.5L/5.5L (model MJXFJ03QM, MJXFJ05QM) — basic version with Wi-Fi support;
- 🔹 Mi Air Fryer Pro 4L/6L (MJXFJ04QM, MJXFJ06QM) — Advanced features, including automatic recognition of dishes;
- 🔹 Xiaomi Youpin Air Fryer (Deerma series) - budget models with limited integration;
- 🔹 Mi Smart Air Fryer Oven (MJXFJ07QM) — hybrid of aerogrill and oven with support for Mi AIoT.
To find out the exact model of your device, look at the sticker on the bottom of the case or in the documentation. If your aerogrill is not on this list, but there is a Wi-Fi or Smart button on the case, try connecting it manually (instruction below).
Important: Some models sold under the Xiaomi Youpin brand (e.g., from Deerma or Pinlo) may use their own apps, in which case, look for an app on the App Store or Google Play with the manufacturer's brand name, not Mi Home.
