It’s really impressive to see the latest industry data.
The smart home market, which has been developing for ten years, has reached 815.4 billion, but the user experience has not kept up with the development speed.
According to relevant surveys, nearly 60% of users have encountered difficulties in using their devices, and more than half have simply given up on the smart functions of their devices.
Switching back and forth between multiple apps, inaccurate voice command recognition, and inability to link different home appliances are common problems in almost every household.
Smart products that seem to be high-end eventually become ordinary home appliances. This is why we have always been unfavorable to most smart solutions on the market.
Just in March this year, Midea launched the Meixiangjia whole-house smart system, which brought a different idea to the industry.
Different from the past practice of simply stacking functions, this time the brand chose to reconstruct from the underlying architecture, relying on tens of billions of annual R&D investments and mature industrial manufacturing technology to integrate AI perception and automation capabilities into home scenes.
The entire system uses the AI Xiaomei Butler as the center. It no longer requires users to repeatedly issue instructions, and the device can actively learn usage habits.
In different scenarios such as cooking and resting, lighting, kitchen appliances, and temperature and humidity equipment will automatically operate together, and even vague voice commands can be accurately recognized.
What is even more practical is the on-site service. More than 6,000 service outlets and hundreds of thousands of professional engineers across the country can achieve 24-hour rapid installation.
Old houses do not need to be demolished and renovated, and no additional wiring is required. They can be used normally after being powered on, which lowers the threshold for ordinary families to upgrade to smart homes.
In my opinion, true whole-house intelligence should not increase the burden of life, but quietly optimize the living experience.
Active services, native linkage, and lowering the threshold for use may be the direction smart homes should take in the future.
Although there is currently a lot of chaos in the smart home industry, innovative solutions like Midea’s Meixiangjia have brought new hope and development direction to the industry.
We hope that more companies can learn from this idea and promote the development of the smart home industry in a healthier and more convenient direction, so that more consumers can truly enjoy the wonderful life brought by smart homes.
