Exactly a month after the crowdfunding exercise, the tech giant has launched the Mi Human Sensor 2 on open sale for 59 yuan (~$9). The product is on sale on Jingdong and other platforms.

The Mi Human Sensor 2 is small in size and comes with a stand, which can be placed or pasted at will. It supports multiple installation methods such as flat placement, wall pasting, and inversion.

The Mi Human Sensor 2 supports 130° wide-range sensing and a detection distance of 7 meters.

Xiaomi claims that it can smartly track the movements regardless of conditions — either it is facing bright sunlight or is placed in the dark. It also provides information about light linkage and safety in different scenarios.

Since it can be connected with other smart home devices, it has a wide range of use cases. For instance, the user can set it up to turn the light ON during night time when it senses a motion. It can be configured to record a video through a smart camera during a break-in and push the video to the Mijia App.

When the battery capacity gets low, it reminds users of the same. When connected with the Mijia App, the user can check the battery status, Bluetooth signal strength, product logs, and more.
