Does the Mijia Air Conditioner Pro Eco Inverter 1.5 HP require connection to the Xiaomi Home App to function?

It is not necessary to connect the Mijia Air Conditioner Pro Eco Inverter 1.5 HP to the Xiaomi Home App in order to use it, as you can still operate the air conditioner and access all essential functions using the included remote control. This allows you to adjust temperature settings, switch modes, control fan speed, and manage other basic operations without relying on a smart device connection.
However, connecting the air conditioner to the Xiaomi Home App unlocks a wider range of intelligent features, such as remote control from anywhere, smart adjustments based on your preferences, scheduled power on/off, product interconnectivity with other smart devices, and timely filter clogging reminders.
For a more convenient and smarter cooling experience, we recommend pairing it with the App.
