The Chinese giant is coming up with a completely new, innovative technology for controlling smart home devices. Xiaomi UWB (Ultra Wide Band) is intended to facilitate and simplify the control and setup of smart home devices.
A revolution in smart home control
Xiaomi is currently using an app to control smart home devices We Homewhich they began to integrate into MIUI.
You can pair smart devices with the application from where you control them. All devices such as motion sensors, thermometers, cameras or lights are in one place in the application, from where you control them.
But Xiaomi UWB promises a revolution in controlling and automating smart home devices. This is a technology that Xiaomi smartphones should get in the near future. Thanks to it, you will be able to control smart home devices easily by pointing the smartphone towards the device.
The use of this technology is also demonstrated by the following presentation video from Xiaomi.
Xiaomi UWB integrated in smartphones
The new UWB technology should be integrated into Xiaomi smartphones as a GPS-like chip. It can locate our position in the space in which we are located. It should work well indoors, where GPS is often a problem. Demonstration of localization using UWB technology was presented at the conference CES 2020.
With this technology, your phone turns into a smart remote control.
Speed, safety and accuracy
Using this technology, the Xiaomi smartphone can detect smart home devices that are in the area around the smartphone. It recognizes how far and where exactly they are located, and then all you have to do is point your smartphone towards the device you want to control.
Xiaomi says it's just the tip of the iceberg of all that the new technology will bring. It literally promises a revolution in the automation of smart home devices.
The manufacturer states that it will be a fast, safe and very accurate technology for controlling other smart devices.
The goal of Xiaomi UWB is to achieve a state where we will have to intervene as little as possible in the control using a smartphone. Some device controls should be done without touching the smartphone display. For example, such a smart door lock can be unlocked as we approach it.
Smart bulbs, fans, sensors and other intelligent devices should be gradually controlled in a completely new way.
The new technology will also make it easier to share content from your smartphone display to the big screen TV. Everything will be possible to mirror with just one click of a finger.
