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

User guide 

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.

Troubleshooting

•  

1.

  Any local source of radio noise may effect 

operation of the system. This may include poorly 
regulated fans or other devices running electric 
motors, noisy power supplies or other low quality 
electrical and electronic equipment including LED 
lights.

•  

2.

  If your attempt to pair the transmitter unit fails 

please try again. Occasionally the signals between 
devices may be subject to noise or other outside 
interference which is common for radio systems of 
this nature.

•  

3.

  The range of communication between your 

Gateway and the device will be affected by anything 

in between that may obscure the signal such as 
furniture, walls, ceilings, windows, doors etc.
