On June 1, 2026, Huawei’s full-scenario new product launch conference was held, and Hongmeng Smart Home’s “1+3+N” whole-house smart solution completed the full-ecological AI evolution.
Many people regard this upgrade as an ordinary product iteration, but there is a different detail worthy of attention: this time, Huawei has truly integrated AI large model capabilities into home terminals.
The next turning point for whole-house intelligence is never to add more devices, but to allow devices to actively understand life.
While the industry is still focusing on single-product intelligence and fixed linkage, Huawei has turned “passive response” into “active service” this time. Will the rules of the game for the entire industry be completely rewritten?
At the press conference, Huawei announced a data: Hongmeng Smart Home has ranked first in the domestic finely decorated housing market for four consecutive years.
In the eyes of many people, this number only means that Huawei is doing well. But if you think about it more deeply, why can Huawei maintain this position?
The requirements for whole-house intelligence in the finely decorated housing market are completely different from ordinary C-end retail.
When leading real estate companies choose suppliers, what matters most is not the dazzling functions, but stability, compatibility and scalability – thousands of units are delivered in batches, and if there is a problem, there will be a large number of customer complaints, and the cost will be extremely high.
Huawei has been able to rank first for four consecutive years because its “1+3+N” architecture has just met the real needs of the industry.
Many players build whole-house smart phones by first selling single products and then building up an ecosystem. In the end, it turns out that “it can be connected, but it’s not easy to use.” Huawei, on the other hand, builds a hub first and then builds an ecosystem, solving the stability problem of multi-device collaboration from the underlying architecture.
After this upgrade, Home Brain has also launched three series of smart hosts: EZ, SE, and
For the finely decorated housing market, this upgrade further consolidates Huawei’s advantages – while other brands are still solving the problem of “the device cannot connect”, Huawei has begun to solve the problem of “the device cannot think”.
The core breakthrough of this upgrade is that Xiaoyi’s Claw intelligent body is officially connected to Hongmeng Smart Home.
Many people are not too sensitive to this change, but this is the most valuable step in this upgrade, and it is also the starting point for AI to truly change whole-house intelligence.
What is the biggest pain point of traditional smart homes?
You have to shout commands at it, and it can only passively execute fixed scenes.
You say “turn on home mode” and it turns on the door lights and air conditioner for you, but you forget to say “turn on the water heater” and it won’t move.
If you want to add new scenes, you have to set them up yourself, which is too unfriendly to ordinary users.
The arrival of Xiaoyi Claw directly changed this logic.
It is equivalent to installing a localized AI smart brain in the home. It can learn your living habits by itself, disassemble fuzzy needs by itself, and coordinate the equipment in the whole house to complete complex tasks.
To give a simple example, if you say “I’m going to bed”, traditional smart homes can only turn off the main light and turn on the night light for you.
Xiaoyi Claw will automatically close the curtains, adjust the air conditioning temperature, turn off unnecessary socket power, and adjust the wake-up scene for the next day based on your sleep data.
The more critical issue is security. When an intelligent agent gains control of all the devices in the house, data privacy and system security become the biggest concerns.
Xiaoyi Claw is the industry’s first terminal manufacturer’s Claw intelligent agent to pass the authoritative security certification of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology. From core protection to compliance management, it builds a complete security defense line in eight dimensions, solving the core concerns of users.
Xiaoyi Claw brings not only functional upgrades, but also a qualitative change in service logic: from “it just does what you ask it to do” to “it understands what you need and helps you do it in advance.”
It also brings five new experiences: a family briefing that automatically summarizes information about the whole house, a fuzzy command recognition that can understand spoken language, door lock messages for thousands of people, a mechanism for autonomous learning of living habits, and a pet care mode specifically for families with pets.
Every feature is aimed at solving the pain points of real users.
Many people use whole-house smart phones, but in the end they end up “accommodating smart phones for the sake of using smart phones” – they have to remember fixed words, have to go to a fixed location to touch, and have to take out their mobile phones to operate complex scenes. It is more tiring to use than traditional homes.
This time Huawei has upgraded all three major interactions: voice, touch, and senseless. The core is to solve this pain point and complete the leap from “people adapt to devices” to “devices adapt to people.”
The voice interaction has been upgraded to Xiaoyi Butler 6.0, which not only can understand vague spoken language and fragmented instructions without requiring you to memorize fixed words, but also adds practical functions such as 3D directional light control, directional noise reduction, and whisper mode.
It can accurately hear your commands in a noisy living room, and can recognize even whispers in the bedroom late at night. High-frequency commands can also avoid waking up. The response speed is industry-leading, greatly lowering the threshold for use.
Touch interaction covers the entire house without blind spots. From the central control screen on the wall to smart switches and smart knobs, it covers all usage scenarios such as fixed control, mobile control, and quick control. No matter which method you are used to, you can find a suitable entrance.
The upgrade of non-sensory interaction is more worthy of attention. After the millimeter wave AI super-sensing sensor and AI-assisted health care sensor have completed the technical upgrade, they can accurately sense the position and status of the human body. They can automatically trigger scenes without opening or using hands. Turning on the lights when someone comes and turning them off when someone leaves is a basic operation. It can also sense sleep status and proactively alert for unexpected situations such as the elderly falling or falling out of bed, which combines convenience and safety.
In the past, everyone had a stereotype about whole-house intelligence: it was expensive, complicated, and required the removal of walls for wiring. It could only be installed in new houses with large flat floors, and it was unthinkable for small apartments in old houses.
The hierarchical DIY solution launched by Huawei this time is to break this stereotype.
Huawei does not push a one-size-fits-all high-priced solution, but instead stratifies it for different needs: from a single point renovation of a small area to a whole-house upgrade for a small apartment. Users can choose freely according to their own budget and needs, without having to pay for unnecessary functions.
For example, if you want to renovate a children’s room, you can choose a ready-made smart single-product package, which includes core products such as air-conditioning companions, AI speakers, and smart desk lamps. You can install them at home without removing walls and wiring, and you can create an eye-protecting and focused learning environment and a constant temperature and oxygen-rich sleeping environment for your children.
If you want to upgrade the whole house with two bedrooms and one living room, you can achieve intelligent coverage of the entire space for as little as 5,999 yuan. The entrance, living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom can all be covered. Security, lighting, fresh air, and temperature control equipment can be linked together to take into account safety and comfort.
With a one-stop shopping platform equipped with the Smart Life App, all products can be searched and matched online. Coupled with more than 350 offline authorized stores across the country and 7×24-hour after-sales service, the threshold for ordinary users who want to upgrade their whole-house smart devices has been lowered to an all-time low.
Looking back at this Hongmeng Smart Home upgrade now, you will find that it is not a simple accumulation of functions, but a turning point for the entire industry from “stacking equipment” to “understanding life.”
When AI capabilities are truly brought to home terminals, when the interaction logic changes from “people looking for devices” to “devices looking for people”, and when the threshold for high-end intelligence is completely lowered, smart life will enter thousands of households faster than most people imagine.
This leap from “intelligence” to “wisdom” has just begun.
Do you think that in the next three years, whole-house intelligence will completely change our living habits?
