Connecting Mila to WiFi — Android

Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting your Mila air purifier to your home WiFi network using an Android device. Following these steps carefully will help ensure a smooth setup.

Before You Begin

Make sure you have the following ready:

• Android device with the latest version of the Mila app installed
• Your home WiFi network name and password (2.4 GHz networks only — Mila does not support 5 GHz)
• Location services enabled on your device
• Your Mila powered on and nearby

Pro tip: Turn off your phone’s cellular data before starting setup. This prevents interference with Mila’s temporary WiFi signal during pairing.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Delete your existing Mila from the app (if applicable). Open the Mila app, tap on Mila’s picture on the home screen, scroll to the bottom of the room page, tap Room Settings, then tap Delete this room.
2. Open the Mila app and tap the + tile on the dashboard to add a Mila.
3. Grant location permissions when prompted. Mila uses your location to find the nearest outdoor air quality station for accurate AQI data. Confirm your selection and tap Next.
4. Select your home type (house or apartment) and the number of rooms, then tap Next.
5. Choose a room and room size for your Mila from the drop-down list and tap Next.
6. Enter pairing mode. Make sure Mila is powered on, then press and hold the O button on the touchpad until you hear a beep and the screen shows Ready to Connect. Tap Next in the app.
7. Wait for the app to connect to Mila’s temporary WiFi network on the “Pair your device” screen, then tap Next.
8. Confirm the connection. When the pop-up appears asking for confirmation, tap Connect and wait for the Connection successful message. Tap Next to proceed.
9. Select your home WiFi network and enter your password carefully. After entering it, listen for the tri-tone happy beep — this confirms your password was accepted. A flat tone means the password was incorrect — double-check and try again.
10. Finish pairing. If no more units need to be paired, tap Continue. You’ll hear another tri-tone happy beep when you tap Finished.
11. Wait for the connection beep. After about 1–2 minutes, you’ll hear a single beep. This means Mila has successfully connected to the Mila cloud.
12. Watch for Outdoor AQI. The display will change from “- -” to a number once Mila has pulled in outdoor air quality data. This may take a few minutes after the connection beep.
13. Firmware update (if applicable). If Mila hasn’t been updated yet, you may see “Firmware Update” on the screen followed by a single beep and a reboot. This means Mila is updating to the latest firmware version. Once complete, it will restart automatically.
14. Check the app. Your Mila should appear online within a few minutes. If it takes longer, try force-closing and reopening the app to refresh. It can occasionally take up to 15–20 minutes during periods of high traffic.
15. You’re all set! Once Mila shows as online, setup is complete.
