Xiaomi has launched a new smart home product that is presently on sale via the Youpin platform. The Xiaomi Smoke Detector, as it is called, is a product jointly created by Xiaomi and Honeywell and the logos of the two brands are printed at the front of the device.

The smoke detector/alarm is certified by China’s 3C as a fire protection product meaning that it has a high level of reliability. It can be paired with the MIJIA app to form part of the smart home ecosystem. In this regard, the product uses Bluetooth 5.0 connection mode, which means it needs to be used with a Bluetooth gateway such as Xiaomi smart speakers. As a matter of fact, Xiaomi had earlier launched a smoke detector some years back but that model uses a WiFi gateway which is the major difference with this model.

Just like the previous model, the Xiaomi Smoke Detector uses an optical labyrinth design, which can detect smoke particles produced by a fire, and immediately trigger an alarm at the first time.

When a dangerous situation is detected, a strong alarm will be issued through the mobile device. If a false alarm occurs, the user can use the MIJIA app on the mobile phone to mute the sound remotely.

The smoke detector has its own loudspeaker, which can emit an alarm sound of 80dB loudness within 3 meters, allowing family members to respond and deal with it in time. The outer shell of the product is made of anti-UV material, which is not easy to turn yellow after long-term use. The alarm also has an anti-insect net to ensure sensitive detection parts are not obscured by insects.

In addition, it uses CR17450 specification disposable lithium-manganese battery with a capacity of 2400mAh and a battery life of up to 5 years. The gadget can either be screwed to the wall or stamped on the wall surface as desired. The installation plate, screws, battery, and other accessories are included in the package, and users do not need to buy them separately.

Xiaomi Smoke Detector is priced at 149 yuan (~$22) and is presently available in China via Xiaomi Youpin. We expect it to be released overseas in due course.

Xiaomi has over the past two weeks released a couple of gadgets under its Mijia brand. We had seen products like the Children watch, TS sunglasses, smart rearview mirror, and an intelligent flower pot.  There is no indication that we won’t continue to see more because the tech giant has again teased its upcoming products.

As usual, the product’s name isn’t written on the poster, but there are clues which could give us an idea of what it really is. This time around, it looks like Xiaomi is launching a smoke detector. The teaser shows the new product can detect CH4 (Methane) and smoke, hence the likelihood of a Smoke detector.
