If you bought a Xiaomi device then I'm sorry. Me I was forced to use one while abroad and the experience was dismal, both from a user experience perspective and from a privacy stand point. The app failed so much at adding device it was beyond infuriating, even at 1 inch of distance. Also the app collects aggressively heaps of data on first login, you cannot add a device without an account anymore which I was lead to believe it was possible.
