As the smart home industry enters a new stage of “implementation and deep cultivation”, industry pain points such as “pseudo-intelligence”, “difficulty in implementation” and “disjointed experience” have become increasingly prominent, and the promotion of the construction of “good houses” by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has pointed out the direction for the implementation of smart homes.
Haier Smart Home relies on its technical strength, open ecology and scene operation capabilities accumulated over ten years of hard work. With “effective implementation” as the core, it deeply integrates smart technology with people’s livelihood at home and builds a implementation system of “benchmark leadership, full coverage, ecological empowerment, and global expansion”. It not only solves the industry implementation problem, but also promotes smart living from “concept” to “reality”, becoming a benchmark practitioner and industry promoter in the construction of “good houses”.
1. Implementation with practical results: Using benchmarking models to break the rules and make wisdom visible and usable
The implementation practice of Haier Smart Home always adheres to “effectiveness first” and refuses formal display. Instead, it uses model projects that are experienceable, replicable, and universally beneficial to allow smart homes to truly enter users’ lives.
Among them, the implementation of Qingdao’s “Haier Smart Home Experience Base, a joint construction unit of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of China” has become a core benchmark for effective implementation, setting a new model for the industry in which “scenarios can be experienced, policies can be implemented, and services can close the loop”.
This experience base uses Casarte’s high-end smart products as the core carrier to create five smart life scenes, abandoning the misunderstanding of “technical stacking”. Every function meets the daily needs of users, and every design takes into account convenience and aging.
The smart living room realizes full voice linkage. When returning home, the lights, air conditioners, and curtains automatically adapt to the user’s habits. When leaving home, all devices are turned off and the security system is activated with one click, making the home safer and more worry-free. The smart kitchen integrates smart kitchen appliances and food material management functions. The refrigerator accurately preserves freshness, the steam oven intelligently controls the temperature, and the mobile phone remotely controls the cooking progress, completely solving the problem of “cooking is difficult and time-consuming”.
pain points; the AI smart washing and care system of the smart balcony can intelligently identify the amount and fabric of clothes, and automatically match the washing and care plan, protecting expensive clothes while freeing users’ hands; smart bedrooms and bathrooms focus on special groups such as the elderly and children, and voice control can complete operations such as sleep mode, pre-bath preparation, and post-bath dehumidification without the need for complicated settings, making smart services more warm.
In order to achieve practical results and benefit more families, Qingdao Model Station has simultaneously launched multiple measures to benefit the people and open up the “last mile” of smart residential renewal.
The activity is combined with national trade-in subsidies and special subsidies for enterprises. The maximum subsidy for a single appliance is 2,000 yuan, and families can save up to 16,000 yuan. It provides free door-to-door dismantling, recycling and installation services, limited-time free kitchen renovation and lifetime warranty, and designated models enjoy 0 yuan installation and 10-year warranty. It completely dispels users’ concerns about “old house renovation is troublesome and smart home appliances are expensive”, allowing ordinary families to easily renovate their smart homes and truly realize “technology benefits people’s livelihood”.
2. Technology empowerment: Full-stack self-research breaks through and builds core support for implementation
Behind the effective implementation is the technical strength of Haier Smart Home’s full-stack self-research as a support.
Haier has been deeply involved in the field of smart homes for ten years. It has broken away from the misunderstanding of “appropriationism” in the industry and created a self-developed technology system covering the entire chain of “models – systems – agents – computing power”. It solves the implementation pain points of poor industry collaboration, response delays, and privacy leaks from the bottom up, and provides a solid guarantee for the large-scale implementation of smart homes.
The industry’s first smart home vertical large-scale model is trained based on the real-life data of hundreds of millions of families around the world and the operating data of all categories of home appliances. It is different from the generalized application of general large-scale models in the industry. Its core advantage lies in “understanding families and understanding life.”
This model can accurately interpret daily spoken language and vague demands without the need for users to issue standard instructions; it can long-term memorize the user’s work and rest habits and usage preferences, proactively predict needs, and adapt to scenarios; it can automatically analyze the environment, personnel, and equipment status, and independently generate and adjust whole-house scenario plans, allowing the home to truly possess the vitality of “autonomous perception, independent thinking, and automatic execution.”
The self-developed UHomeOS vertical operating system, as a native home operating system, completely breaks the collaboration barriers of multi-brands, multi-protocols, and multi-devices, and realizes device self-discovery, self-organizing network, self-linkage, and self-repair, making the whole house devices naturally interoperable, and truly realizing the leap from “single product intelligence” to “whole house system intelligence.”
At the same time, the system is based on the whole ecology of “people-car-home-community” and is open to interconnection with ecological partners in multiple fields such as Changan Automobile, Xiaodu, Alipay, and Jiumu. With the advantage of “one development and multiple terminal deployment”, the device access cycle is shortened to 7 days, and it adheres to “two-way openness, scenario co-creation, and value sharing”, does not engage in a closed ecosystem, and truly returns the right of choice to users.
The collaborative application of Xiaoyou agents and Haimily’s local computing power model further improves the effectiveness and security of the smart experience.
As an embodied smart home butler, Xiaoyou Agent integrates multi-modal interaction methods such as voice, vision, and touch to realize the presence of avatars in the whole house and proactive services, evolving from “waiting for your orders” to “thinking for you”; Haimily’s local computing power model builds the cloud – Edge –
The end-to-end integrated architecture localizes key decisions, achieves millisecond-level response, is available when disconnected, and keeps data at home. This not only solves the latency and privacy risks of cloud architecture, but also makes it possible to implement smart solutions in remote areas and households with unstable networks.
Hard-core technical strength has brought solid implementation results.
As of now, Haier Smart Home has more than 130 million registered users worldwide, with annual scene interactions reaching 86.1 billion times. It has been certified by Euromonitor International as “No. 1 in global smart home sales”, and its scale and reputation have verified the effectiveness and value of technology implementation.
3. Global expansion: four-level linkage to bring wisdom to a wider range
With Qingdao Model Base as the core, Haier Smart Home has built a “national benchmark”
The four-level linkage pattern of “provincial and city-wide replication, batch implementation of real estate projects, and international model export” will promote the implementation of smart homes from single-point demonstration to universal popularization, from domestic layout to international expansion, so that the smart concept of “good houses” can benefit more families.
At the national level, Haier, as the only home appliance industry leading co-construction unit of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development’s “Good House” Technology Exhibition, will deeply participate in the “Good House” Technology Exhibition in Beijing Shougang Park in November 2025, joining forces with Beijing Housing Industrialization Group and China Building Research Institute
The institute and other central and state-owned enterprises have built four representative model houses: Yunqi House, Anju Happy Home, Flexible Good Houses for a Lifetime, and Near-Zero Carbon Good Houses. They have become a key participant and core solution provider in the national “good house” technology system, and have set a national-level benchmark for the industry.
At the provincial and municipal levels, Haier has rapidly promoted the construction of “one province, one benchmark”, combining regional characteristics and people’s livelihood needs to achieve localized adaptation of smart scenarios.
In October 2025, at the Zhejiang “Good House·Made in Zhejiang” themed exhibition, Haier launched an aging-friendly renovation model room, completing the smart upgrade of the old house through prefabricated interior technology in just 25 days, while retaining the user’s life memories while injecting smart care; 2026
In January of this year, Anhui’s “Wan Haofang” science and technology exhibition was successfully launched, continuing Haier’s smart home’s core position in the local “good house” system; Fujian, Xinjiang and other places have entered the start-up stage, and national replication capabilities are gradually taking shape, allowing smart homes to benefit families in more provinces and cities.
In the field of real estate, Haier focuses on the smart delivery of new residences and deepens cooperation with real estate companies. It has reached a total of 68 interested real estate developers and completed the output of model room plans for 22 projects. Typical projects such as 260 model rooms in Xiongan New District University Town, Xiamen International Trade Xiang’an D08 plot, Hefei Rail Transit Ziyun Lake Project, and Qingdao Junyi Yunqi were successfully launched.
On May 1, 2026, the Xiongan Neighborhood Center officially opened, becoming a benchmark display and service window for the “Good House” smart community model, promoting the construction of smart communities towards scale and standardization.
In the international market, Haier explores the “home appliances + housing” integrated overseas path, based on the climate characteristics and residential needs of different regions, to create a replicable international landing model.
In the 25,000 affordable housing project in Côte d’Ivoire, Haier customized and exported a basic smart home package including refrigerators, air conditioners, water heaters, etc. in response to the hot climate of West Africa. It mobilized the resources of local branches and exhibition halls to complete supply chain docking and landing demonstrations. It plans to expand this model to neighboring countries in West Africa, covering 100,000 to 150,000 affordable housing units, and create an “international version of Good Houses” to promote China’s smart living technology and model to the world.
4. Ecological co-prosperity: open and empower industries to jointly build a new smart living ecology
Haier Smart Home knows that the large-scale implementation of smart homes is inseparable from industry collaboration and ecological co-construction.
To this end, Haier has always adhered to the ecological concept of “two-way openness, scenario co-creation, and value sharing” to break industry barriers and build a collaborative ecosystem of “home appliances + home decoration + housing and construction”, which not only empowers its own implementation, but also drives the industry to jointly upgrade, and bridges the “last mile” of smart home implementation.
In terms of ecological cooperation, Haier has in-depth docking with Changan Automobile, Xiaodu, Alipay, Jiumu and other partners in multiple fields to achieve seamless interconnection across scenarios, allowing “people – cars – homes –
The smart experience of “community” forms a closed loop, allowing users to enjoy consistent and convenient smart services in different scenarios; in terms of technology openness, Haier has exported Haimily’s local computing power architecture as an industry technical standard, and opened the local computing power calling interface to partners, allowing third-party devices to achieve the ability to “be smart even when disconnected” after being connected to the Haier Smart Home system, promoting
The mobile industry is comprehensively upgrading from “cloud intelligence” to “device-side intelligence”; in terms of industry empowerment, Haier integrates one-stop solutions such as home decoration renovation, home appliance upgrades, and healthy energy saving, taking into account smart delivery of new residences and organic renewal of old communities, lowering the threshold for smart home construction, while driving the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries, forming an industry ecosystem of “co-construction, sharing, and co-prosperity”.
Conclusion
From technology self-research to practical implementation, from benchmarking to global expansion, from ecological co-construction to global export, Haier Smart Home takes “effectiveness is king and ecological prosperity” as the core, and transforms the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development’s “good house” policy concept into a real life that can be perceived, experienced, and enjoyed by thousands of households.
After ten years of hard work, Haier has not only solved the industry implementation problem and redefined the core standards of smart homes, but also driven the high-quality development of the entire smart home industry.
In the future, Haier will continue to delve into the smart home field, promote technological innovation and scenario upgrading, deepen the open ecological layout, bring warmer, more convenient, and safer smart life into millions of homes, lead the smart home industry to comprehensively leap from “smart devices” to “smart life”, and contribute China’s strength to the upgrading of global living quality.
