Mi Home House Monitor
User Guide
The Mi|Home House Monitor is part of the Mi|Home
home automation range. This allows you to monitor
the power and energy usage of your entire home.
The Monitor sensor clamps onto your mains power
cable by the electricity meter and sends power
readings to your Mi|Home network via short-range
radio signals from its transmitter unit.
This then allows Mi|Home to calculate the energy
you are consuming in your property over time.
In the Box:
•
1 x current clamp and mounting plate
•
1 x transmitter unit
•
3 x AA batteries

Installation
Remove the cover on the battery compartment of
the transmitter and insert the batteries - observing
the correct polarity. Replace the cover. Then plug the
clamp cable into the socket marked L1 in the
transmitter unit.
You will need to attach the clamp to the insulated
live-feed cable between your electricity meter and
your consumer unit. This cable is usually on the
right hand side of the meter (as in the diagram). You
can also attach to the incoming live supply on the
left hand side of the meter if more convenient.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ATTACH TO THE
CABLE IF THERE IS ANY OBSERVABLE
DAMAGE TO THE CABLING. CALL IN A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN!
The installation requires no modification of your
existing arrangement or cutting of cables.
Fix the transmitter unit to the wall or suitable
mounting point.
Pairing the Monitor with the Gateway
To use the adapter in your Mi|Home system it must
be "paired" with your Mi|Home Gateway.
Please ensure that your device is in range of the
Gateway when you pair it. We suggest 10 meters
and as unobscured (e.g. by furniture or walls) as
possible.
You have two options to pair your Monitor to the
Gateway: either via a web browser or using the
Mi|Home App.
You will need to create an account and install the
Mi|Home Gateway before pairing the Monitor.
Via a Browser
Select the option to pair a new device and choose
the Mi|Home House Monitor to be paired.
Follow the instructions to hold down the button on
the front of the housing of the adapter until you see
the device appear on the screen as being paired.
Via the Mi|Home App
Follow the instructions on the screen when you run
the App to pair the Mi|Home House Monitor.
If you are having trouble with the range you may
need to move the Gateway closer to the transmitter
unit or move any intervening obstruction that may
affect the signal.
Using the Dashboard
You can view and control your paired device by
selecting the Dashboard option on your App or via a
browser.
