Xiaomi reveals new smart electric blanket with voice controls

The Xiaomi Mijia Smart Electric Blanket Single Model is now crowdfunding in China. This smart home product is designed to improve your sleep, but also offers functions to remove mites and to dehumidify the mattress.

Xiaomi’s new Mijia Smart Electric Blanket measures 1.8 x 0.8 m (~5.9 x 2.6 ft), making it suitable for a single bed. It is said to offer 80W power through “almost imperceptible heating wires” with a triple insulation system. It has a polyester fabric cover, which is said to be soft to the touch, and polyester filling.

The Mijia Smart Electric Blanket offers a smart sleep temperature feature, intelligently adjusting the heating throughout the night to help you sleep soundly. Through the Xiaomi Mijia app, users can set up a heating schedule, and the device can be connected to other smart home products. There is a high temperature drying setting to remove mites or to dry the bed in humid conditions. On top of this, it supports Xiao AI, allowing users to switch the blanket on or off with voice commands. Plus, it comes with a physical controller with a large screen. There is an 8-layer safety system protecting against issues like overheating, short-circuiting and overloading, and it is both 3C and low radiation certified, making it safe for all ages.

On the Xiaomi Youpin platform in China, backers can pledge CNY 179 (~$25) to receive the Xiaomi Mijia Smart Electric Blanket Single Model, which is scheduled to start shipping from October 24th. It is unclear when this product will go on general sale at its RRP of CNY 239 (~$34). Whether or when Xiaomi could launch this device in other markets like Europe is unclear; here, it recently launched the Robot Vacuum 5 Pro (€799.99 at Mi Store DE).
