Thanks for the review! Meters are as useful ad they are accurate. Most cheap hygrometers are not. If you have time, please compare temp/humidity readings if Mi against a calibrated reference meter.
I have inkbird, thermoPro and sensorpush, but often have problems. Among them, I like inkbird's IBS-TH5, which is cute, smart and accurate, with an ink screen and weather display. A little more expensive, but very reassuring!
Hi, before you pulled out the battery separator, I saw there's an AQI at the left bottom screen (that TDS% PM2,5). So my question is, can the device be used to measure the air quality? Bcs once you turned it on, the number's gone. Hope you wouldn't mind answering my question.
Yeah it would be very interesting to have also the air quality (also its a 'pro' device so it should have more functionality than the others?) But I will probably built my own monitor with a bosch sensor that measures air quality, pressure, temperature and humidity via an esp8266 and puts everything in a Database
Came to this video because the official app could not detect and the time is not sync. Saw the app you used, downloaded it, detected and synced with no problem. Everything set up nicely. hahaha. Sometimes official doesn't mean best.
At 1:46 you can see that the display has parts for displaying other stuff(whatever the 4 digit % TDS in the lower left corner is, and the small % right of the clock). What are the other functions? I can't seem to be able to find any info on it.
I'm guessing the other "parts" in the display are so you can change around the primary displayed info so for example show the humidity in large numbers and the clock as the smaller text as the "PM" seems to indicate, or billboard style cycle between time temp and humidity in large text. Only guesses for the TDS part though, either they had another planned model with a water quality sensor or planned on adding a wireless one?
If you add this clock in Xiaomi app (only way is change region to mainland china), you can pair this clock with T500 toothbrush and it will be showing information about toothbrush (battery, etc.)
Actually it is only Chinese not working in other countries bcos it not support different time zone setting, basically it is useless and only china version 😕
Interesting 🤔 by the way Xiaomi is not pronounced with the [z] sound. The letter X transliterating Chinese words is normally pronounced as an S sound (technically [ɕ]).
I would buy one of these, if it had Mi home integration and was using AAA or AA batteries... coincell batteries are PITA, compared to the rechargeable I buy from Ikea...

Speak for yourself. The clock worked out of the box... paired with Mijia Home app with no problems and time sync after few seconds. No problem... you need to straight thinks up before criticize
Hey!! What is the wrong with you?? Do not post any video just for eink devices. Or change the Chanel name to goodEinkdevices. I appreciate channels that are interested in one aspect

Can you use it at night when there is no other sources of light available?
No. The display is easy to read in low light though.

Looking forward to E ink alarm clock!
Now that would be interesting.
Is there a way to use it with Mi Home App? Mine just come and can't find it in Mi Home...

As far as I know this clock can show the PM2.5 value measured with a separate Xiaomi Air filter.
Can it? I couldn't find a way to do that with this clock and Air Purifier 4@@gert3824
Looks like the time on your phone is 1 hour faster than the clock. Have you resolved this issue?
Seems like a missed opportunity. Having Bluetooth would be nice to have options to change font, style, etc.
It could display so much more info too.
I believe it's a segmented display, rather than a pixel display.
@@kbhasi Ok. I guess that would make sense. It just looks so smooth and continuous, I can't tell from the video.

how about the alarm? does it work loudly?
I have the smaller square-shaped version for a year now..
Agree with you with the screen, should have been a matt finish
I have the square e-ink older version as well. Personally I like the glossy finish.
@@Kluneberg I always bring it with me outside, haha
@@agamyuniarnugraha7767 Oh, I see how it can be annoying then, I only use mine indoors.
Can you change it to Fahrenheit?
Can we see the time in the dark at night, and does the battery come out? I would be glad if you answer
Cannot see the time in the dark. Very good in low light however.
Can you tell how accurate the temperature?
can you have two, and set one to a different timezone? or does the APP force them all to be the same timezone?
Nice review!
How long do the two coin batteries last on this clock?
1 year
Can these be used in a bathroom and exposed to steam from shower?
I am more fascinated by the symbol smiley on product 😁 😂
Can you set it to 12hrs instead of 24hrs clock?
3:10 Interesting, as I use the official Mi Home app, but it's probably not available in Canada and/or Japan.
WHICH APPLICATION ARE U USING?
Can you view it when the room is dark? Is it backlit?
No backlight
Can we adjust alarm in this device?
How to change time format 24H to 12 H?
To install "right app" to control this device SCAN a QR code inside the included tiny Chinese "manual"
Simply awesome 👍
28 degrees and over 70% humidity? I think you need new aircon.
What is the backlight light at night on it. I have purchased this on Amazon and didnt really enquire about it.
none
Can I read books on it?
can we connect an external/outdoor temperature sensor?
nope
Saludos amigo.❤️ El reloj parece de juguete.
no es un reloj
who can provide better QR code for that device to setup? the one in the tiny instruction manual does not want to be scanned.
solved the problem by changing the locale to China. The device was found and synced quickly.
@@MrMassmaker did you change the locale on the xiaomi home app?
@@solitairesimp1239 Yes, I changed to China.
Sooo, does it light up/ visible in the dark?
no

Does the time set automatically by bluetooth?
Actually it is only Chinese not working in other countries bcos it not support different time zone setting, basically it is useless and only china version 😕
Yes. Mijia Reader app is free.
no alarm clock type feature in this?🥺
I want to buy these, but the device doesn't have button to set the clock.
No it doesn't have a button, you need to use the app
@@goodereader The Mijia Reader app on Android works well.
Can it be linked to Google Home and integrate with other smart devices like AC? Nice video btw :)
Ive struggled to integrate with Google. But connects to Mi Home without a problem
Does it sync its clock from your phone?
Yes.
Nice video
Hi Peter! I like this. Is it expensive?
Interesting 🤔 by the way Xiaomi is not pronounced with the [z] sound. The letter X transliterating Chinese words is normally pronounced as an S sound (technically [ɕ]).
Actually, it is "sh". It should sound like shou(t) mee(t). I am native Chinese speaker btw.
@@magazinecn thanks 👍
Lack of matte screen killed the appeal
I would buy one of these, if it had Mi home integration and was using AAA or AA batteries... coincell batteries are PITA, compared to the rechargeable I buy from Ikea...
Coin batteries make it THIN. As if having 2032's is a problem for normal humans, they last over a year and cost what... a dollar or less?
how can i reset it ?
How to change it to 12hr format?
Have the same problem here 😭
IS HIS SCREEN BRIGHT AT NIGHT?
I guess it is pronounced as 'shaomi'
or simply show-me
O can’t calibrate the clock with the device. Since started summertime, the clock is different from the phone. Terrible.
hello, can you see at night?
Unfortunately no this does not have a glow light.
Same problem with others, no calibration is possible.
Can it run e-books?

just kidding ♥
Nice but looks pricy.
Never buy that crap. Almast imposible to pair with phone.
Actually it is only Chinese not working in other countries bcos it not support different time zone setting, basically it is useless and only china version 😕
Mijia Reader app solves this.
Why the fuck you havent shown how it looks at night?
Just bought it, it's just a piece of crap, no way to set time, xiaomi home do not recognizes it, don't waste you money

What is the wrong with you??

I been using it for Months. Take me a while to know i shouldn't use mi home app.😄
So it only works with the dedicated MijiaTemp app?
@@MichaelGisiger as far as i knows. App may pick up data from any such clock that u passed by.
