Enter Page

Incorporating new features into official app

The entrance of all smart ecosystem products should be similar to Mijia, integrating car and home smart products into one entrance card. This card facilitates possibilities for the integration of future ecosystem products. I named it Hi Ecology.

Connect+ Add

Detect new device through Bluetooth 

Once inside the Hi ecosystem, users are able to view connected devices. It will also automatically find devices around you that can be connected via Bluetooth.

The top right of the interface also opens up the 'Add' button for manual connection.
