Does Mi Fitness connect to Strava?

Yes, officiallyOne way, into Strava

Yes. Xiaomi's Mi Fitness app has an official one-way Strava connection, so workouts recorded on a Xiaomi watch or band push through to Strava once you authorise it. Nothing comes back the other way.

What it costs

Free. Neither Xiaomi nor Strava charges for it.

How to set it up

  1. Turn on cloud sync first: in Mi Fitness go to Profile, then App settings, then Sync with the cloud, and enable it.
  2. On iOS, go to Profile, then Connected Apps, and tap the button next to Strava.
  3. On Android, go to the Profile tab, then Settings, then Third Party Data, and find Strava under Accounts and Authorization.
  4. Log in to Strava, choose the permissions you want to grant, and tap Authorize.

What reaches Strava

  • Exercise data recorded through Mi Fitness, pushed once the activity has synced to Xiaomi's cloud

Limitations and gotchas

  • It only goes one way. Nothing in Xiaomi's or Strava's documentation describes Strava activities flowing back into Mi Fitness.
  • Activities without GPS data do sync, but Strava says they arrive without the distance data it needs to process them properly. A manual activity is the workaround.
  • Cloud sync has to be enabled in Mi Fitness first, or there is nothing for Strava to collect.
  • Your watch or band needs to be connected to the phone over Bluetooth, with both apps online.
  • Strava refers problems with this integration to Mi Fitness support rather than handling them itself.
