The bunny got out of the hat, here’s Xiaomi’s new smart home sub-brand

Xiaomin already has as many sub-brands as stars in the sky. Have a man on your feet who can keep every sub-brand in your head. The new name we need to get to know from now on is Smartmi. As the name suggests, smart devices will be developed and manufactured by this group, namely smart devices that make our daily lives easier. In the title, I referred to smart homes, which is not true, since most of the smart devices around us are in our homes, but there are some of us who live not only in their homes but also in their cars. So most of the products will probably be used at home, but we will also find some that we can use smartly outside the home.

 

Xiaomi Smartmi humidifier

The company already has several sizes of air purifiers, has temperature and humidity meters, and has controllers for air conditioning. So far, however, the humidifier has been missing from the line.

The tank of the new device just presented can be filled with 4 liters of water at a time. The structure features low-power DC motors, so consumption remains friendly, with the little one eating just 8 watts. There are also various sensors in the humidifier, such as when it detects a rollover or if someone, say a child, wants to reach in, it automatically shuts down.

The new device can, of course, work with the Mi Home phone application, so we can easily control it and see the data collected by the machine's sensors, such as the amount of water in the tank, the apartment temperature or the current air humidity. The opening price of the new humidifier is expected to be 80 dollars, ie 20 thousand forints.

As you can read above, the air conditioning control has already worked, so we were able to cool the apartment. There was an air filter so we swallowed less dust. Now the humidifier has arrived to make the climate in the apartment pleasant. One thing is still missing. Sure, the heating.

Well, Xiaomi created the radiator, radiator, convector, or name it whatever you want. In the description, there are generic words such as convective heat transfer, which results in lower heat loss, and the pressure of cold and hot air is also discussed. Moreover, it can heat in two stages, 1000 and 2000 watts, and we can easily switch from a thousand to 2000. Blablabla.

The point is, it’s a passive radiator and works just like any penny crap. Cold air at the bottom, warm air at the top. Chimney effect.

What is no longer blablabla is that this device is also Mi Home compatible, so we can integrate it into the Xiaomi smart home ecosystem. For example, you can control it from your phone, but you can also set delicacies to turn it off, for example, when you open the window.

More importantly, you’ve got a heat limiter so you can’t ignite anything, and it also senses tilt, turning off after a 45-degree tilt.

The price of the radiator will be $ 43, we can buy it tomorrow, but according to the news, only for the time being through the company's trading platform.

 

Xiaomi Smartmi car inverter

Interestingly, the Xiaomi already has a car inverter. It’s also a pumpkin good-looking piece, not that stupid one so I’m not kind of ugly, but something of a nice designer. Something that knows exactly like the Xiaomi Smartmi car converter, that is, it makes us 12 volts out of 230 volts.

We know that these devices are not just for plugging in the radiator one up, for example, but we can connect smaller consumers. They are like our notebook charger, a smaller TV look and the like.

Well, the Smartmi car inverter knows exactly that, we will also have a “wall” socket in the car. The only tiny bump is that it’s Chinese standard. The bump is small because a converter can be assigned for pennies. The voltage is the same outside and at home, only the shape of the plug is different.

We don't know much about the specification yet, there is information that it will work at outside temperatures of -10 and +50 degrees, and that it can withstand up to 10 on and off without any problems.

Another important feature is that it also supports fast charging (Quick Charge 3.0). It detects a device connected to a 5-volt output and charges it in the most efficient way. This, of course, requires that the device to be charged be prepared for this charging mode, otherwise it will not be detected by the inverter.

The price of the product is $ 40, which is approx. There will be 10 Hungarian thousands.

 

So far, this has only been a herald, if more accurate information about the products arrives, I will bring up the topic again.
