Xiaomi Launches New Smart Home Control Hub with HyperOS

Xiaomi has unveiled a new gadget named the Smart Home Screen Mini in China. This small hub is made for managing smart home devices. With its built-in speaker and Bluetooth capability, it’s ideal for folks who already use Xiaomi products. Let’s take a deeper dive into its features.

Specs of the Smart Home Screen Mini

True to its name, this device is quite small, measuring only 113 x 78 x 54 mm (or 4.4 x 3.1 x 2.1 inches). It presents a customizable home screen that allows users to arrange their most-used smart home appliances for easy access. The Smart Home Screen Mini works smoothly with Xiaomi’s ecosystem, enabling control over various devices from lights to thermostats.

Advanced Features for Security and Control

In addition to basic functionalities, the Smart Home Screen Mini connects with Xiaomi’s security cameras and video doorbells. When these devices are activated, the hub can show live video feeds directly on its screen. While it doesn’t have a camera itself, the Mini utilizes Xiaomi’s voice assistant, Xiao AI, for hands-free usage. Users can manage their smart devices using voice commands, making daily tasks easier.

Personalization and Connectivity

For those who like to customize their devices, the Mini provides over 40 wallpaper options and a photo gallery feature. Users can adjust the hub’s look to fit their style. Internally, the Smart Home Screen Mini operates on Xiaomi HyperOS and includes Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity along with dual-band 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi. A USB-C port powers this compact device.

Cost and Where to Find It

Right now, the Smart Home Screen Mini can only be bought in China for a promotional price of CNY 249 (around $35 USD). The standard retail price is CNY 269 (about $38 USD). At this moment, there are no updates on whether it will be available internationally, including in regions like the EU, where older Xiaomi smart home devices such as the Smart Home Hub 2 can be found.
