Back in March, Xiaomi debuted the first-ever Redmi televisions in India in the form of the Redmi Smart TV X series. This lineup is the first in the country to come with the Mi Home app to manage Xiaomi smart home products. This application later arrived with the recently launched Mi TV 4A 40 Horizon Edition as well. Now, the Mi Home app is also available on a number of older Xiaomi televisions in India.

A couple of days back, the Product Manager of Xiaomi televisions in India tweeted that the Mi Home App was rolled out to all HD and FHD Mi TVs launched in the country to date. The company executive also shared the complete list of TV models.

The Mi Home App is now available on the following HD and FHD Mi TVs in India.

Xiaomi‘s ecological chain company Aqara has over the years carved a niche for itself as a dependable brand for smart home gadgets. The company has grown to become one of the major players in the industry and its products can be found in millions of homes in different regions of the world including the US, China, and Europe among others. The tech company continues to expand its product catalog and seems to be working on launching a new smart home hub.

A device that looks like a new Aqara hub has been spotted on the Mi Home app. The device is listed as Aqara Hub E1 and is basically a Zigbee 3.0 hub that also arrives with HomeKit compatibility. In terms of the design, the Aqara Hub E1 adopts a USB stick design reminiscent of the Mi TV Stick, Amazon Fire TV Stick, and other such products. It has a USB-A plug on one end which can be plugged into any USB port.

Why this sounds interesting is that previous models get their power supply from a regular power supply but this model seems to use any USB port as a power source. We can’t confirm this since the entire specs are yet to be revealed.

The product is only listed on the Mi Home app Mainland China server and isn’t listed on the Aqara app. That is suggestive of the device getting launched in China soon. It may be launched under crowdfunding on Xiaomi Youpin in the coming days. We’ll keep you posted if more details emerge.

Xiaomi has added a robot vacuum cleaner to its range of smart home products. Over the past few weeks we reported that the company was working on a vacuum cleaner and a couple of hours ago, it was officially unveiled. The Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner comes a week after Xiaomi launched the Viomi Water Filter Kettle.

Technical Details

The vacuum cleaner uses a low-noise brush-less fan supplied by Japanese firm, NIDEC. The fan has a maximum pressure of 1800Pa which provides greater suction power when dealing with tough dirt.

Xiaomi’s Mi Robot Vacuum uses 3 dedicated processors: a quad-core processor from Allwinner, a STMicroelectronics ARM processor, and a Texas Instruments LDS image processor. The trio helps the vacuum cleaner receive data in real time from the 12 sensors (LDS, ultrasonic radar sensor, wall sensor and cliff sensor etc.). The Laser Distance Sensors provide a 360-degrees scanning (1800 times/second) similar to what you will find on a self-driving car.

The 5200mAh Li-ion built-in battery supplied by LG and Panasonic ensures that you get 2.5 hour cleaning time from a single charge.

Cleaning Details

The Mi Robot Vacuum will work with the Mi Home App. Owners will be able to set cleaning schedules, modify cleaning modes, and monitor cleaning process in real-time. You will be able to program it to clean the house right after you leave the house or before your arrival in case you are bringing home guests and you left a pet at home.

The main brush automatically adjusts its height to create a tight seal with the floor. There are also side brushes that extend to reach between gaps. While the vacuum cleaner works it maintains a precise 1 cm distance from the wall, so be rest assured that your beautiful vacuum cleaner won’t be getting any scratches.

The Mi Robot Vacuum seems to be only available in white. We have no problem with that but a black unit will be appreciated. The company also launched a virtual wall that creates an invisible barrier that the vacuum cleaner can’t go beyond. It will retail for 39 yuan ($6). So you can pick up a  bunch of these and add it to the Mi Robot’s 1699 Yuan ($254) price.
