Could you build this?

Partial The UI and account flows are vibe-codeable, but a working client depends on Xiaomi's undocumented cloud and device protocols, which must be reverse-engineered and maintained.

What it would actually take: Build a Windows app (Electron, Tauri or C#) on top of existing community libraries such as python-miio and the Mi Home cloud API, handling token extraction and encrypted LAN and cloud communication. The hard part is keeping up with protocol and encryption changes and device-specific quirks, which needs reverse-engineering skill.
