Russian users of Xiaomi products have been reporting failures of the company's app called Mi Home since the evening of October 4. Smart homes, light bulbs, vacuum robots, kitchens, video cameras and other devices had stopped working, it was not possible to start them manually. There are also malfunctions in ordinary smartphones.

Posts about this have appeared on the company's official pages in Russia in comments on its posts. Similar problems are happening in Belarus. Users of both countries write that they cannot even log into the company's official site in their accounts. And when rebooting and reconnecting to Wi-Fi devices just disconnect.

As noted by the Telegram channel "Mash" with reference to its sources, the problem is a failure on Xiaomi's servers. The same response can be found in the comments on the company's social media pages from its representatives. However, there is no official message yet on the company's official global resources.

The Chinese company has not left the Russian market in 2022, even under the threat of sanctions. It actively complied with all Russia's requirements for electronic devices imported from abroad. Xiaomi has even taken the first steps to work with "Yandex" - they developed a smart display with an integrated voice assistant "Alice".
