A smarter, connected home with just a tap
To set up smart home devices, users configure tasks using Xiaomi’s PonPon Tile 2.0 stickers and the Mijia (Mi Home) mobile app, which in turn links to the Xiaomi IoT platform to interpret commands and transfer instructions to the devices. PonPon Tile 2.0 stickers support quick configuration of single and multiple tasks, along with easy Wi-Fi and Bluetooth pairing for smart nodes. The Mijia (Mi Home) app is user-friendly and easy to navigate for creating and saving numerous commands across device categories. Users simply tap their Xiaomi phone that is running the Mijia (Mi Home) app to trigger, configure and modify various actions in their smart home. After placing the stickers in multiple convenient locations throughout the home, users tap to access their custom settings.
Configured in seconds, the Mijia (Mi Home) app and NXP-powered PonPon Tile 2.0 stickers allow users to:
- Add new smart home devices with a few clicks
- Control devices from anywhere with their phone
- Orchestrate several home devices for a comprehensive set of tasks
- Get the status of different devices in real time
- Share access to smart devices with friends and family members
Xiaomi’s new PonPon Tile 2.0 stickers and Mijia (Mi Home) app allow users to easily configure many smart home devices to work together to accomplish specific, combined tasks at specific times. Based on their preferences, users can create different scenarios for welcome-home, away-from-home and numerous other settings, such as dimming or turning off lights, locking doors, setting playlists and alarms and waking up the TV. The PonPon Tile 2.0 solution vastly reduces the complexity for users to achieve their desired setup by sparing them from time-consuming and frustrating setup processes. Instead, users can quickly take advantage of the convenience and many options that smart home devices provide to help them save energy, feel safe and enjoy life.
