Earlier this week, Huawei held its spring conference 2022 event in China. Here, a company official revealed the brand’s new innovations in smart home technology. Its latest Whole House Smart Host that offers smart controls to help turn your house into a true smart home.

During the announcement, the Chinese tech giant’s executive stated that a typical apartment is 80 square meters with 2 bedrooms and a living room. Thus, the starting price for the whole smart home suite will start from 39,999 Yuan (roughly 6,300 US Dollars). At the moment, prospective buyers can go to the official website to reserve an offline store experience, which the company offers from over 64 stores across 43 cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Changsha.

As per the official announcement, the Whole House Smart Host is a part of the brand’s “1+2+N” solution and brings various upgrades over the previous generation. According to Huawei, the host is a “future version of the brain.” It is a system that connects across platforms and intelligently manages them. This is made possible through its intelligent host SE that has 128 PLC nodes, supports high speed connection, and is both stable and reliable as well.

The 9.2 mm ultra thin smart panel integrates six major controls, like scene, lighting, shading, fresh air, floor heating, and air conditioning. These centralized control and natural interaction brings another level of innovation in terms of spatial interaction. The company added that the Whole House Smart Host has over 1,900 partners, more than 4,500 smart products and is easily accessible and easy to own as well.

At Huawei‘s product launch conference held on Thursday last week, the company officially announced a new product dubbed Huawei Whole House Smart Host. The product was announced alongside the Smart Screen V series and other smart TV series the company rolled out on that day.

The Whole House Smart Host operates in line with a concept which Huawei dubbed 1+2+N aimed at providing consumers with more choices and possibilities with a brand-new smart life experience. Under this working pattern, 1 refers to the whole house AI while 2 refers to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and WiFi 6+ control systems.

Finally, N represents a variety of ecological products belonging to Huawei’s ecological chain such as intelligent lighting control system, safety protection system, environmental intelligent control system, water intelligent control system, audio-visual entertainment system, sleep assistance system, intelligent home appliance system, sunshade intelligent control system, etc. It extends beyond Huawei-branded products to other gadgets running Harmony OS and this includes brands such as Midea and others.

The Huawei Whole House Smart Host adopts a modular design and is equipped with a HarmonyOS-powered central control system. It can be directly placed in the location of the former smart hub as the small size ensures it doesn’t take up too much space. The host uses an all-aluminum alloy one-piece stamping design with a sandblasted surface coating, treated by anodization.

Apart from the central controller, the Whole House Smart Host houses a Wi-Fi 6+ modem and a PLC control bus. The PLC can load control signals and data onto the power line for transmission, realizing a stable and reliable connection when there is electricity and the network is available. Huawei’s Whole House PLC technology reportedly hit a transmission distance of 2000 meters, which can cover large houses up to 500 square meters and can connect up to 384 devices.

The  Wi-Fi 6+ main route includes an IPTV, an uplink connection optical modem, a connection PLC, 5 multi-room AP extensions, and a total of 8 network ports. These all ensure the entire house has adequate WiFi coverage.

The Huawei Whole House Smart Host arrives in two price ranges—one designed for three bedrooms and two living rooms (about 100 square meters) and it start at 99,999 yuan (~$15,260). The second model is designed for five bedrooms and two living rooms (about 200 square meters) and it starts at 149,999 yuan ($22,890). The product will go on sale in August. Huawei has promised to open experience stores for the smart host across 50 cities in China.
