I’m unfamiliar with Xiaomi “smart” products, I assume there is an app to control the vacuum, if it does have an app does it still work for you strictly behind your LAN network?
Did a little digging, not sure if you’re someone who self hosts (or owns Homekit enabled devices) but Homebridge appears to offer plugins for Xiaomi smart vacuums this will give you more “smart” functionality without the cost of exposing it to the internet.

It does have an app, but I’m not using it. It also doesn’t work, because it can’t find the vacuum on the network.
The device has 2 buttons: “turn on/off” and “find home”, those are the only two I need.
A vacuum doesn’t need internet access.

Shame they don’t offer that flexibility natively.
