What You Need

  • Mila Air Purifier

  • Apple Home app

Best of all, it only takes a few minutes to get your Mila Air Purifier connected to Apple Home. Here's everything you need to know.

How to connect the Mila Air Purifier to Apple Home

Connecting Mila to Apple Home lets you control your air purifier directly through the Home app. Its functionality isn't as robust as the dedicated Mila app, but can still toggle the device on or off, changing its settings, and creating routines based on time, device state, and more. It'll also give Apple Home access to a variety of Mila's sensors (motion, air quality, temperature, etc.).

Once you've gone through the initial setup phase (that is, plugging in your Mila and syncing it to your smartphone), here's how to get it connected to Apple Home.

Step 1: Launch the Mila app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Select the room with the air purifier you'd like to add to Home.

Step 3: Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on your air purifier.

Step 4: Scroll to the bottom of this page and select Add to HomeKit.

Step 5: Your unit will likely need to go through a quick update. Once this is done, you'll get an alert letting you know the device is compatible with Apple Home.

Step 6: Simply name your device and follow the rest of the instructions to get Mila linked to Apple Home.

That's all there is to it! You can now use your Mila via the Apple Home app. If you have other devices synced to Home, you can now create routines and scenes that allow the devices to interact with each other.

EcoFlow’s new power stations can keep devices running even when the battery hits 0%
EcoFlow's new DELTA Gen4 and RIVER Gen4 series reserve a small amount of battery power for emergencies, even when the indicator reads 0%.
EcoFlow DELTA Gen4 power station

EcoFlow has launched four new portable power stations under its DELTA Gen4 and RIVER Gen4 series. And there is a rather interesting trick they can pull off when the battery runs out. All four models come with Emergency Power Mode, which keeps a small amount of electricity in reserve even when the battery indicator shows 0%. That's enough to charge a phone or keep an emergency light running on the DELTA models during a power outage.

The lineup covers both ends of portable power needs. There are two high-capacity models for home backup, and two smaller ones for camping, road trips, and other outdoor activities.

Anker eufy Window Camera E10

Every time I look at an outdoor security camera, the same tedious process flashes before my eyes. Drilling into a wall, running a cable outside, and praying it survives the weather. Well, it looks like Anker’s eufy found a loophole.

Anker’s new Window Camera E10 is now available in the US for $79.99 (via Amazon). And now, for the most important bit: it’s an indoor camera that sticks to your window glass so you can watch the porch, yard, or driveway from inside (via eufy).
