The updated Xiaomi smart socket is offered on the market in two versions: with support for data transfer via Wi-Fi or the ZigBee protocol. Compared to the first generation, both versions of the device have lost the USB port, but have acquired protective shutters from children, which allows you to safely use it in the children's room. However a non-standard H-type plug is provided, and the use of adapters makes the initially compact gadget bulky.
Smart features
The device can be easily synchronized with both one smartphone and the whole smart home system. Using the Mi Home app, you can remotely turn the power outlet on and off, set a work schedule, or set a timer. These options will be useful if, for example, you forgot to turn off the kettle, you want the electric floor heating system to create a comfortable microclimate by the time you return from work.
The version with support for the ZigBee wireless protocol, unlike the Wi-Fi socket, must be connected to the Xiaomi Multifunction Gateway smart home gateway (purchased separately or bundled with the Smart Home alarm). But it also allows you to measure the energy consumption of the appliance and better manage your energy bills. Also, the socket can be used in various smart home scenarios (for example, turning on the air conditioner when the temperature in the room rises).
Rugged and protected
The compact device is made of heat-resistant plastic that can withstand temperatures up to 750 degrees. In the event of power surges or temperature rises, the socket turns off automatically by sending a notification to the smartphone.
Xiaomi Mi Smart socket 2 operates in a wide voltage range (from 90 to 250V), withstands a power of 2200 W (current up to 10A), which makes it compatible with most household appliances, with the exception of powerful ovens, some types of climate control equipment.
The minus of the socket is the control plug-in not translated into Russian in the Mi Home application when downloading “over the air”. On a smartphone with root rights, you can pre-install the Russified version. Otherwise, Xiaomi Mi Smart socket 2 can become both just a stand-alone assistant and one of the essential links in the smart home ecosystem.
