Both are also compatible with the Xiaomi Home/Mi Home app when you are away to monitor the food quantity and feeding time, as well as clean the fountain or replace the filter respectively.

Xiaomi‘s Weibo handle for its smart home products on Tuesday announced the release of the Mi Instant Water Purifier Q800, with a starting price of 3,799 Yuan or around $596.

The true specialty of the device lies in its heating capabilities, however, as it gives out hot water in just a second, that too all filtered and ready to drink. Four presets are offered for this feature, namely normal temperature mode (25°C), milk mode (45°C), coffee mode (85°C), and boiling water mode (95°C). A couple of custom presets can also be created through the Mijia app.

For filtration, the Xiaomi Instant Water Purifier Q800 comes with a new primary RO filter that’s been paired with a secondary RO filter. The life of the filter unit has been claimed to be increased by 150% along with a 50% improvement in the pure to wastewater ratio. The ratio is now as high as 3:1 and the wastewater can still be used for stuff like washing dishes, watering flowers, and mopping the floor.

An anti-clogging tech has also been put in place, protecting the secondary RO filter and allowing the main filter to last for up to 5 years.

For interface, the Q800 is equipped with a touch screen display that has been integrated into the top of the smart faucet. The water quality TDS value and filter element status are shown through it and it even lets you adjust the water temperature and output.

Last but not least, the water output button adopts a physical design, meaning you shouldn’t have to worry about it being rendered inoperational when wet.

A new survey report released today by Xiaomi, says that since March 2020, about 70% of consumers have reported making changes in their living environment due to spending more time at home during the pandemic, and more than half (51%) have reported purchasing at least one smart device during that period.

The global lockdown that forced millions to stay at home has altered the way people interact and live in their homes, driving people to reconfigure their physical space to meet new functional demands and convergence of the workspace with the home space. Even students had to undertake their studies from home, and homes were transformed to a sort of one-stop functional environment with all the needed facilities for work, study, exercise, and entertainment.

According to the survey, 60% of the respondents said that it was very difficult to derive joy at home because of the forced merging of their leisure and work environments. About 63% of the respondents had to purchase one or more smart home devices, while 82% reconfigured a part of their homes for work activities during the COVID-19 lockdown, and 79% reconfigured one or more rooms.

Daniel Desjarlais, Global Product Marketing Manager of Xiaomi, in his comments on the insights from the survey, stressed that the goal of smart living has always been about optimizing the physical space to provide smart solutions to problems and new realities using technology as a vehicle for such changes, which was accelerated by the global pandemic.

Going further, Desjarlais said that connected homes, automated systems, and new technology are presently catalyzing the creation of new ecosystems within the home to solve new problems and challenges of staying for longer periods at home.

The survey results showed that makeshift spacing arrangements were widespread across all age groups, with 66% of respondents saying that they were forced to adapt their homes to incorporate a makeshift office space in response to staying home more during the pandemic. This was more pronounced among Gen-Z and Millennials — 91% of Gen Z consumers and 80% of Millennials indicated this was something they were forced to do.

The demand for smart home devices which reflected in the number of purchases as a result of the respondents’ perception that these devices offered solutions to some stated home challenges. An average of two smart home devices was purchased by the respondents during the period of lockdown, while the Gen-Z segment had purchased an average of three devices.

The survey also showed that a majority of respondents who had purchased smart home devices plan to continue using such devices beyond the pandemic era, and would be willing to upgrade such devices if another lockdown comes up in 2021.
The adoption and integration of smart home solutions will be a prevailing trend as consumers look to smart devices for efficiency and succor.

Smart devices from a sports watch to a smart speaker provide opportunities for coping with the new normal in leisure and fitness as you can enjoy your favorite exercise at home as well as watch a cinema movie using the array of smart devices available. Smart ecosystems also help in the automation of routine daily tasks, thereby improving productivity and efficiency. Smart home devices will therefore continue to grow in relevance beyond the pandemic era.

Xiaomi is fast becoming a global front-runner in smart devices and continues to expand its lineup to different segments of the smart devices market.

Xiaomi Taiwan has announced the official launch of a new smart home experience store which it calls Xiaomi Base. The base will be home to over 70 different kinds of Xiaomi products including smart home devices. Fans in the country are free to walk into the Xiaomi Base and experience the innovative combination of life and smart family at play there. This is perhaps in a bid to expand its smart home product base in Taiwan. 

A market research report by the Inter-Market Research Consultant shows that among Taiwan’s smart home products, Xiaomi (Mijia Smart Home) has become the most popular brand in Taiwan with a 35.1% market share. Thus, the Xiaomi Base is created to show that smartphones cannot only control a single home appliance but also connect more than 30 products in series, allowing each of them to perform its function independently, sort of creating the kind of smart home environment only seen on sci-fi movies. The data also shos that Xaiomi’s dominance in Taiwan isn’t only in the smartphone aspect but also on the smart home products end.

Apart from the Xiaomi Base, the Chinese company is also planning to kickstart a series of advertisement campaign using online videos and offline methods which will allow fans and potential buyers know more about all aspects of the company. This could be Xiaomi’s strategy to create awareness that it isn’t just a smartphone company but a full-fledged internet company with products covering several aspects of the technological space. We may likely see this campaign being replicated in other regions outside China in the near future.

Xiaomi has once again teased the launch of its 74th MIJIA Smart home product. The company released a poster this morning on the MIJIA Smart home Weibo page which indicates that the product would launch on April 6 by 10 AM.

The poster that was teased contains the photo of some bamboo stems and leaves and the post had some keywords such as “dampness” and “breathable”. This is perhaps, an indication that the product is one which improves the air we breathe by reducing dampness and moistures from the air. This points at the likelihood of a Dehumidifier.

A dehumidifier is generally a household appliance which reduces the level of humidity in the air, usually for health or comfort reasons, or to eliminate musty odour. There are large dehumidifiers used in commercial buildings such as indoor ice rinks to control the humidity level but this one is expected to be a small portable one for use in the home. It is also likely to be a Smart gadget that might be able to detect the level of humidity and get to work automatically. We’ll get to find out about that tomorrow at 10 Am so, keep a date.

The post Xiaomi Teases April 6 Launch of 74th Smart Home Product, Dehumidifier? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi smart home Weibo official page has published a series of posters meant to publicize its next launch event as well as the expected product. Xiaomi is renowned not just as a smartphone maker but as a brand whose tentacles spread into other smart home categories. The fact is that most of the non-smartphone products are manufactured by subsidiary brands with Xiaomi providing the platform and financing coming in through crowdfunding.

In this case, what we can gather from the posters and the accompanying teasers is that the 67th Smart home product is likely a Coffee making machine and would be unveiled on March 7. Launching a Coffee maker at this point is no doubt a smart move, considering the rapid growth rate of consumption of coffee drink. According to an analytical report, coffee saw retail volume sales of 3% to reach 65,000 tons in 2016. This was mainly due to a rising consumer interest in the coffee culture in China in 2016, leading to a rise in coffee consumption.

The Xiaomi Coffee machine would, thus, come in handy in helping owners brew quality coffees right in their homes. Small coffee shops and cafés in retail may also find the Coffee machine useful in meeting up with spiraling demands, especially among young consumers.

The Smart home product would be launched on March 7 at 10.00am.

As you know, Xiaomi produces all sorts of gadgets but I’ve never reviewed a smart electric water kettle. It is a little pricey as it costs $54 but is it any good? Find that out in the full review.

Xiaomi Smart Kettle Review: VIDEO REVIEW

Xiaomi Smart Kettle Review: UNBOXING

The product ships in quite a nice box and inside of it, you can find a kettle itself, a base and some instruction manuals.

Xiaomi Smart Kettle Review: DESIGN and FEATURES

When it comes to the looks, we have a nice and minimal design. The kettle is made of quality matt plastic and inside of it is made of stainless steel.

You can pour in up to 1.5l of water inside of it and the kettle uses 1.8kw of power.

Overall, the kettle is very well made and it seems that it will last a long time.

Xiaomi Smart Kettle Review: SMART FEATURES

Since it is the first smart kettle I’ve ever reviewed, I was super excited to test all the features out.

First of all, you can use the device as a regular kettle by simply pressing the first capacitive key, which has a great response.

In order to unleash those smart features, you have to connect the kettle to your phone via Bluetooth using the Mi Home app. I didn’t have any issues connecting my phone to the device but I didn’t like the fact that the app is in Chinese. The main smart feature is that the kettle has a built-in temperature control up to 12 h. Within the app, you can select e.g. that you want to keep the temperature of the water at 80 degrees from 1 to 12 hours.

Also, if you choose the button showing the curve going up, the kettle will raise the temperature to the boiling level first and then keep it at your desired level.

Xiaomi Smart Kettle Review: CONCLUSIONS

Everything worked just fine during my review period and I believe these features are great for those who love drinking tea of coffee constantly without the need to boil the water and then wait for it to cool off.

Also, I love a design and quality materials used in the construction of the Xiaomi Mi Kettle.

However, I was disappointed that as of now, the app is in Chinese. Also, I believe there should be more smart features e.g. the ability to turn on/off the kettle using your phone. Finally, I believe the Wifi connection would have been better on this kind of the device, so you can control the kettle from a distance.

At the end of the day, the Xiaomi smart kettle is a nice-looking and high-quality product and it does all the things as advertised but it is up to you to decide if the price of $54 is worth it.

In the past six years since inception, Xiaomi has grown to become one of the hottest tech companies in the world. Although the company is known for its value for money smartphones, Xiaomi also has a wide range of non-smartphone products, with a special focus in the smart home industry. It already has lots of products in this segment, from routers, thermostats, lamps, to even smart bicycles. In fact, after launching the pricey $3000 Qicycle R1 bicycle a few months back, yesterday, Xiaomi unveiled a brand new electric bicycle which costs around $455.

The company’s product profile has expanded so much that almost every 15 days we see a new announcement. While we have no idea how Xiaomi keeps up with so many of these product launches, today, Xiaomi has teased yet another smart home product. The company didn’t reveal what kind of product to expect, but it confirmed that it will announce the product on June 28, which is next Tuesday.

Along with the teaser image, the company had to say the following words: “When can silence, silence..When can shine, shine” (translated). Looks like a riddle! Well, putting this teaser image and the riddle together, could it be another smart lamp?

Xiaomi’s mi ecosystem product planning director Sun Peng added that this is a very interesting product, with the cooperation of international manufacturer.

It looks like a lamp, but it could also be just a part of a larger device. We can’t be sure of anything right now, so let’s wait for more teasers to see if we can guess the right product.

UPDATE: This could be the product hinted by this teaser!

Xiaomi is on roll this year. A few days back, we reported that the company is planning to launch a number of new products to celebrate its fifth anniversary. We have already seen three new teasers from the company till date and now, there’s another teaser which hints at a new smart product which will see the light of day on March 31.

It looks like the company will focus on smart home products this year. We have increasingly heard rumors about products such as a smart water purifier, a 55-inch smart TV, both of which will most likely be announced on Tuesday. Now, this particular teaser comes with the letters ‘TZC’ on top. While we have no clue what this means, the image below gives us an idea about the product.

Below, you can see a rectangular device with the numbers 0.1, 0.2 etc written on top and an arrow at the center. From the picture, it looks like the new product will be a smart electronic weighing scale. There are similar products in the market right now, and most come with Wi-Fi connectivity so that the information is easily available on multiple devices. The arrow at the center could be an indication of the target to maintain or reduce weight.

We are just two days away from the celebration event and hence, we don’t have to wait too long to see what Xiaomi has in store for us. With one day left, we expect another product to be teased tomorrow, taking the total to five new possible announcements on its fifth anniversary.

Anyways, what do you think TZC means?

The post Here’s Another Teaser From Xiaomi! Guess what this could be? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Back in December, Xiaomi and Midea entered a strategic partnership to develop smart home products for the consumers. Now, first reports are coming in which says that the two companies will jointly unveil its first product, a smart Xiaomi Air Conditioner later this year.

For those who haven’t heard of Midea, it is a privately held Chinese company specializing in electronic consumer products. Xiaomi and Midea’s partnership could give birth to a new range of smart connected devices in China. In this regard, it is said that Xiaomi sent out its specialist engineers to work with Midea’s team to develop and finalize on a smart Air Conditioner.

On a traditional AC, you have to manually set the temperature, wind speed, and other functions. However, in this new range of smart ACs, everything will be automatically set according to your preset preferences and surrounding conditions. So, things like temperature, wind speed and humidity controls will be automated.

One of Midea’s lead engineers, Zhu Liang Hung said that Air Conditioner is just one part of the picture. The joint partnership will result into a number of new products including smart washing machines, air purifiers, humidifiers and even refrigerators.

Clearly, Xiaomi is advancing into newer product categories and may soon have a wide range of product portfolio under its belt.

Stay tuned for more updates.
