With Apple HomeKit, you can automate your Mila, control it using Siri, and manage it alongside your other smart home devices. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to connect your Mila air purifier with Apple Home.

Before you begin the connection process, make sure you have the following:

Step 1: Ensure Your Mila is Set Up and Updated

Before integrating your Mila air purifier with Apple Home, ensure that your device is set up properly and connected to your Wi-Fi network. Also, make sure your Mila firmware is up-to-date. You can do this through the Mila app:

1. Open the Mila app on your iPhone or iPad.

2. Navigate to the settings by tapping the gear icon.

3. Look for firmware updates and install any available updates.

Keeping your device updated ensures compatibility with Apple HomeKit and access to the latest features.

Step 2: Open the Mila App and Enable Apple HomeKit

To start the process of integrating your Mila with Apple Home, you'll need to enable HomeKit from within the Mila app:

1. Open the Mila app on your iOS device.

2. Select your Mila air purifier from the list of devices.

3. Tap on the gear icon to access the settings menu for your Mila.

4. Scroll down to find the option labeled "Apple HomeKit" and tap on it.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the pairing process.

Step 3: Pair Your Mila with Apple Home

Once you've initiated the pairing process in the Mila app, you'll need to complete it in the Apple Home app:

1. A QR code should appear on your Mila’s screen, which is required for the setup.

2. Open the Apple Home app on your iOS device.

3. Tap on the "+" icon in the top right corner of the screen, then select "Add Accessory."

4. Use your iPhone or iPad's camera to scan the QR code displayed on your Mila air purifier.

During this process, you can assign your Mila air purifier to a specific room in your home, making it easier to manage within the Home app.

Step 4: Customize Mila Settings in Apple Home

Once your Mila air purifier is successfully added to Apple Home, you can start customizing its settings to better fit your needs:

2. Tap and hold on the Mila icon to access its settings.

3. Here, you can rename the device, set automations (such as turning on the purifier when you arrive home), and control it using Siri.

By integrating Mila with Apple Home, you can also include it in scenes and automations that involve other HomeKit-enabled devices.

Step 5: Use Siri for Voice Control

One of the advantages of adding your Mila air purifier to Apple Home is the ability to control it using Siri:

- Simply say “Hey Siri, turn on the air purifier” or “Hey Siri, what’s the air quality like in the living room?” and Siri will respond with the current status or execute the command.
