How to set up a smart alarm in Xiaomi Mi Band 2 (Android)
Even though the fitness bracelet provides a whole package of functions, users face some problems when they do not know how to use all the functionality of this device. But even with the ability to distinguish between sleep phases, the Mi Band 2 tracker does not offer a smart alarm clock for some reason.
Install Smart Alarm (XSmart)
Developers third party programs can provide their own solutions to this problem. We offer you one of the options that will give you the opportunity to use a smart alarm in a tracker that can wake you up at the most suitable time to wake up.
Attention! This method works for Android smartphones.
Click the Check button to make sure everything is done correctly. In case of successful synchronization, a message will pop up that the bracelet has been found.
Setting up Smart Alarm (XSmart)
Under MAC address add-on options will be offered. Here you set the desired time and day of the week. Note that the "Smart Alarm" type only works with the Mi Band 1 version, since it is built into it. Therefore, to turn on the Mi 2 smart alarm clock, you need to use the XSmart slider exclusively.
Application settings require the activation of functions such as:
- pause between vibrations
- number of vibrations
- icon on the second generation wristband display
Also there are sound add-ons, Bluetooth connectivity and XSmart notifications.
Important! In order for the smart signal of this program to work during the time, it is necessary to leave the connection of the mobile device with the bracelet via Bluetooth throughout the night. Otherwise, it will take a little time for the application to automatically connect Bluetooth to the phone, and this may affect the incorrect timing of the smart function.
How smart alarm clock XSmart works
After proper installation, software configuration and synchronization with the Mi Band 2 bracelet, the smartphone certain time before set signal, which you set up yourself, will connect to the tracker every minute, recognizing the phase of your sleep. As soon as he knows that you are in a phase of light sleep, the bracelet on your wrist will begin to vibrate. If you are still in a deep sleep, then the built-in alarm clock in Mi will go off exactly at the appointed time to wake up.
It is worth noting that XSmart can be affected by the power-saving mode in the smartphone, which prevents the software from working properly. You should add the application to the exceptions or disable this mode.
How to turn off the alarm
This can be done in several ways: through the device itself or through the programs installed on the phone.
In Mi Band 2
When your fitness bracelet vibrates, you need to press the tracker's touch button to turn off the signal.
In the Mi Fit app
You can disable it like this: Notifications -> Alarm clock. Move the sliders of all available items to the inactive state (to the left).
In XSmart App
Set the alarm activation sliders to the "disable" position:
Do not forget that if you are inactive after waking up, the tracker on your arm will consider this as a continuation of sleep, and after 10 minutes it will vibrate again. He understands that you are awake, not just by your open eyes, but by your physical actions.
How to turn on a regular alarm clock in Mi Band 2
If you wake up without problems and get up exactly at the specified time, then XSmart is useless to you. You can also set the signal time in Mi Fit on your smartphone.
IN updated version software which changed a little appearance interface, you can turn on a regular alarm as follows: section Notifications -> Alarm clock -> Click the Add button as a plus at the bottom of the page -> select the alarm settings -> OK
How to set up a smart alarm on Mi Band 2 (iOS)
Unfortunately not. Only the version of the Mi Band 1s bracelet can use a smart alarm in a third-party for iPhone application called Mi HR, but in the second generation model, this program only allows you to continuously read the heart rate.
However, the developers promised to implement the function itself in Mi Fit, so that through it users Android smartphones and iOS were able to use the smart signal with any version of the tracker.
In our instructions, we are not responsible for the correct and accurate operation of the XSmart program. If you have questions regarding its accuracy or any errors, you should contact the developers. But in our comments, you can describe your experience with this software.
Xiaomi is expanding its range of smart home products on a large scale. This time, a certain mixture was positioned, in the production of which the outstripping pace of competitors is noticeable.
The Xiaomi Mi Music Alarm Clock has a 5mm 5W speaker. Reproducible frequencies are in the range from 20 to 20,000 Hz. The impedance was 4 ohms. Support for A2DP, AVRCP and SPP is provided. The built-in is responsible for autonomy accumulator battery with a capacity of 2600 mAh. Such a high volume provides up to 10 hours of music playback at maximum volume. In alarm mode, work on a single charge lasts up to 15 days. An interesting feature is the "lullaby" function, which helps a person fall asleep. The volume is adjusted in accordance with the curve graph, which allows you to normalize the sound. Device control goes through proprietary application Xiaomi Mi Home. Standard ringtones 3, all of them have been specially selected to ensure the most comfortable awakening. But it is possible to use custom compositions.
The alarm clock comes in a neat cardboard box in classic Xiaomi white.
The front side is occupied by the image of the device, on the back there are specifications and brief information required for initial review.
After opening the lid, we are directly greeted by the device itself, located in a small recess.
The contents are stored in a secret compartment: a microUSB charging cable and an instruction sheet.
Let's take a closer look at the complete documentation.
It is in Chinese, but intuitive.
The case of Mi Music Alarm Clock is made of snow-white glossy scratch-resistant plastic and has the shape of a cylinder. The plastic used is hypoallergenic and safe even for children.
The front side of the case is occupied by a gray fabric. Distinguishes the gadget from a typical wireless speaker - a dial illuminated by LEDs. Hours are indicated by numbers, minutes by a moving dot. The indication is visible only in the active mode, which has a positive effect on battery consumption.
On the top of the case is the only physical control, a fairly large button that leaves no chance to miss. With the help of this element, both the alarm is turned on / off, and the volume is adjusted.
On the side face there is a speaker connector, covered with a grille in the color of the case. 
New beginning of the morning
Say goodbye to the noisy morning, start a new happy day
Even the smallest change in your life that can make it better is worth making. This was the initial idea for the development of the speaker alarm clock from Xiaomi. According to the observations of the Japanese State Technical Research Institute of Health, the participants of the experiment, suddenly awakened by an alarm clock, had increased blood pressure and a rapid heartbeat. By using the Xiaomi alarm speaker, you will forget about the rattling and noise of ordinary alarm clocks, because it will help you smoothly wake up in the morning and fall asleep in the evening, thereby redefining the role and functions of the alarm clock. It will gradually wake you up with music, even if you are in deep sleep. Let your every awakening be pleasant!
Bass processing
Enhance sound quality by removing noise and low frequencies
The outstanding sound quality of the Xiaomi alarm clock speaker is achieved by the "Tesla level module system" and the "symmetrical low frequency vibration suppression device". On the one hand, the magnetic drive of the Tesla level module system helps to reproduce more stable low frequencies, and at the same time, a special device suppresses the vibration generated by them. Thanks to this combination of developments, you will not hear the rattling of the alarm clock from its contact with the surface of the table, even if you put it at maximum volume. Besides, circuit diagram with minimal interference also contributes to a significant reduction in low-frequency noise, allowing the user to enjoy the pure sound of the alarm clock.
New super sound technologies
From detailed aspirations to rich sound
It's unbelievable that four super sound technologies can fit into such a small speaker: dynamic volume control, virtual dual audio channel, dynamic range control, and minimal noise circuitry. It is thanks to all these innovations that we can achieve a more voluminous and rich sound.
Design
In an effort to maximize the sound quality of the Xiaomi Alarm Speaker, we have also included its external design. The specially designed cylindrical shape of the body of the alarm clock with miniature carbon notches will achieve a better focus of the sound, as well as adapt it to listening at close range.
Dual audio channel
Sound control occurs after it is divided into two independent channels: upper with middle and lower. Complemented by various equalizers and dynamic range control, this sound management system reveals its full potential to the user.
Dynamic volume control
Adjusts the volume according to its curve graph to make the sound even at different volume levels
Range control
When playing medium and low frequencies, it provides saturation and density of sound, when playing high frequencies, it protects the sound from distortion, thereby allowing you to freely switch between different sound ranges without losing sound quality.
Minimum interference level
By using a high-efficiency D-level power amplifier and a low-consumption power supply, the system will be able to maintain outstanding sound quality when reproducing high frequencies.
Bluetooth 4.1
Good sound throughout the house
Thanks to the use of Bluetooth 4.1 technology, the Bluetooth working area has become up to 10 m in radius. When you place the speaker alarm clock in the middle of the house, you can easily connect it to your smartphone, tablet, TV, laptop or any other playback device and enjoy high-quality sound.
*To ensure the best playback quality, make sure there are no obstructions between the speaker and the playback device
Offline mode
Work in offline reaches 360 h
In order to make your enjoyment of sound uninterrupted, we installed a built-in 2600mAh battery, which, together with low power consumption, can contribute to the stability of the Xiaomi alarm clock speaker. It takes only 2 hours to fully charge the battery, while the continuous music playback time is approximately 8 hours. If you use the speaker only as an alarm clock, the operating time can reach 360 hours.
*The data provided above are the results of general experiments. In reality, the duration of operation may vary depending on the volume level and other conditions of use of the speaker alarm clock.
One button control
Settings in 3 minutes!
In order to improve the convenience of control, we have removed unnecessary settings, leaving only one control button located on the top side of the alarm clock. By rotating the button clockwise, you can set the alarm time or adjust the playback volume.
Today, gadgets from Xiaomi are in great demand among users. An excellent combination of price and quality allowed the brand to gather a considerable audience of regular users of their products.
The main principle of the company's work is its focus on the wishes of customers, which are taken into account when creating new devices. The same happened with the Mi Band tracker, which was updated with the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 version and provided with a new design and functionality. But some problematic issues remain the same. For example, the Mi Band 2 smart alarm clock is not included in the firmware of the Mi device itself. Thus, without an alarm set, the meaning of the sleep phase tracking function is lost, since the phone simply will not be able to wake the user at the optimal time.
Smart Alarm app and its features
The situation, it would seem, is not very pleasant, but, fortunately, there is still a way out - install the additional Smart Alarm application, which can be found on Play market or App Store(for iOS platforms on iPhone). This program will allow you to get enough sleep and wake up exactly at the time when the body will be “happy” with this. The principle of operation is as follows:
- As before, you need to turn on and start your usual alarm clock;
- In 30 minutes (or other time), the program synchronizes with the smartphone and starts looking for the most suitable moment to wake up;
- Only after such detection is the user awakened.
Installing and configuring a smart alarm clock
But still, how to turn on and how to set up a smart alarm clock ?! For Mi Band 2 with already installed application Smart Alarm it will take no more than 5 minutes. By adhering to the following instructions, the interaction of a smart alarm clock and a smartphone becomes an everyday simple task with the most positive outcome. The alarm setting is as follows: 
- First of all, you need to activate all alarms, including system alarms and the Func Button function, which sets permission for certain actions that will be performed when the tracker button is pressed;
- From any resource convenient for you, download Smart Alarm (it will be safer to download from the Play Market or App Store);
- Turn on bluetooth, then turn on the downloaded application;
- Open the Mi Fit settings and find out the MAC address of the bracelet;
- We return to the Smart Alarm menu and enter the MAC address of the device;
- We check whether the devices are synchronized (if connected, a message will come, and the charge level will be indicated in the application menu);
- Next, fill in the required number of alarms, the type of which must correspond to XSmart;
- After all the above done, you can rest.
Awakening will be carried out using the vibration of the bracelet. The vibration signal also notifies you of other actions taking place on your smartphone. Disable this application following the instructions above is also quite simple.
Sleep phases and what they are for
An important issue is the correct use of the sleep phase tracking function, because it is on the basis of its indications that an active day is built. In fact, you will be able to see a bar chart on the screen that indicates the time period of light and deep sleep, as well as the period of wakefulness. Only after a detailed study of such statistics is it possible to use a smart alarm clock correctly and with health benefits.
Thus, it should be said that the Mi Band 2 fitness bracelet, having good quality and pleasant design, will be an excellent assistant and a good ally in matters relating to quality rest. 
But here each user will face two moments on Mi device:
- Constant study and analysis of sleep phases for the correct use of the alarm clock;
- Installing applications (Smart Alarm) that complement the device.
But, even taking into account such insignificant nuances, the products put into production are in great demand among many users around the world, famous for their detailed and high-quality analysis of the sleep phases, excellent product quality and reasonable pricing.
Since the appearance of the first mobile phones the built-in alarm clock has become an integral part of such devices. At the same time, despite the rapid progress in the development of electronics, the overall functionality of the program has not changed much. How to turn on the alarm clock on Xiaomi?
The easiest and most convenient way is to click on the clock widget on the desktop of the smartphone and immediately go to the alarm settings.
In the window that opens, activate an existing alarm or create a new one by clicking on the “+” button in the lower right corner.
After the required time is set, the ringtone and the repeat frequency are selected (one-time, on weekdays, weekends, on certain days of the week or constantly), click on the “OK” button in the upper right corner of the screen. If desired, you can simultaneously activate several alarms at once, which will work at different times of the day.
For example, sometimes you may notice that under the clock in the alarm settings, the inscription “Alarm sound is turned off” is displayed. This inscription says that when the alarm goes off, instead of the sound, there will be only a vibrating alert, unless, of course, it is also turned off. To turn on the sound, just press any volume button and expand the full menu in the sound settings menu that appears. After that, increase the volume near the alarm slider to the desired level.
Another way is to select “Sound and vibration” in the settings menu and set the alarm volume there.
In the event that there is no clock widget on the desktop, you can get to the alarm clock by going to the Clock application.
As a rule, it is located in the “Tools” folder on one of the desktops of the smartphone.
