The Mila Air Purifier is loaded with cool features, giving you a simple way to track numerous metrics related to your indoor air quality. Along with the ability to monitor AQI, VOCs, humidity, and other important values, the Mila Air Purifier works with Apple Home. This lets you access the device via the Home app and sync it with the rest of your smart devices.
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.
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.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
