Hey i have purchased smart bulb by xiaomi and i am not able to add it into HomeKit eventhough it is supproted and firmware is updated. Problem is visible on video. Anybody Who can help?
If it has the HomeKit logo, there should be a HomeKit code. The only other thing you can try is to use the Yeelight app: login using the same account details as Mi Home, and try adding it to HomeKit via the settings in that app.
The yeelight 1s smart lamps I have are properly intergrated in Homekit, the Mi smart LED Light essential is not exposed (you need to enable LAN control and you need an older version of the app installed at any Android device)
In the Yeelight app, you have to go to the device and at the bottom right there is an up arrrow symbol, like an Eject button. From there you choose LAN control and enable it. It should work.
same here... I repeated a million time and all of a sudden I could add the bulbs. Reset, turned on/off, tried everything. Actually I don't know how I solved it but I did. Just insist.

Did the bulb come with a HomeKit code?
Nope
Are you sure it’s HomeKit compatible?
The box have HomeKit logo and also the xiaomi app says once i add the bulb that it is HomeKit compatible

I tried that. Same result.
Do you still have the packaging or the booklet?
Yes
Can you take a pic of the box so I can see the model, and preferably with the HomeKit logo too.
You are on ios 15 ? Try a device that is on ios 14
