Good afternoon

There are a lot of reviews on xiaomi products. Some products have been reviewed multiple times. Today we will add another device from a famous Chinese brand to this list:
Smart Wi-Fi socket with additional USB output. Let's find out what this outlet can do, why it was called smart and find out what disadvantages are inherent in this outlet.

Often visiting a country house, I thought about how great it would be to turn on the heating of the boiler in advance. And in winter, also run a heater in the bedroom... But progress does not stand still and every year the elements of a smart home become more accessible. So 2 months ago I received it, which I installed on the boiler. I was very pleased with her work. But recently they provided us with permanent Internet, and therefore it was decided to also take a wi-fi socket for testing. I chose this particular outlet only out of interest in Xiaomi products. Moreover, winter is still far away and I will be able to buy something else if necessary.
So, the socket came packaged in a white box stylized with the inscription Mi, exactly the size of the socket itself. The box itself is sealed in film. Almost all the specifications are on the back.

In principle, everything is clear:
Dimensions 62x55x33mm
Operating voltage 180-250V
Output voltage USB 5V, 1A
Wi-Fi 2.4GHz b/g/n

Open the box. The outlet at the outlet turned out to be quite universal. Only the grounding of the European plug will remain unconnected.

Inside we find the socket itself and instructions that are useless for our person. True, it has a QR code for downloading the SmartHome application, but only the official Chinese version.

We immediately notice the Chinese 3C plug. For now, this socket is only available with this type of plug, and to use it in other countries you will need a high-quality adapter. The thickness of the plastic is also striking. It doesn't bend or squeak in any way. According to the manufacturer, this is a special fireproof plastic that can withstand temperatures up to 750 degrees.
From side to protective film There are inscriptions that say that for this device to work, you need to download the “SmartHome” application from the instructions.


At the top there is a USB connector and an on/off button. By default, this button controls the USB connector and the outlet itself simultaneously. However, the actions of this button can be changed through the application. Also, holding it down for 5 seconds will reset all settings to factory settings.

Well, let's try it at work. When you connect for the first time, the yellow status light starts blinking, indicating that the outlet has not yet been configured and is in discovery mode. After completing the registration procedure, the indicator will change its color to blue and will remain continuously lit during operation

To connect and configure, download the SmartHome application. Basically, I connected the socket using the original one Chinese version applications. However, then I discovered that on 4pda. Therefore, I will show the whole process in the Russian version.

connection to socket

Naturally, like any other Xiaomi device, you also need a mi account. On first launch we will be asked to log in, after which we can proceed to select the device we want to connect



Then we need to select the network and its password. You can also connect to a hidden network.




That's all. Our device can be controlled from anywhere via the Internet.

For each of the ports, we can connect different time intervals to turn on/off the outlet and tie them to specific days. The number of created rules is not limited. It turns out something like a timer that can work differently on different days. However, it should be noted that the time in the program is used according to the Chinese time zone and they will actually work 5 hours earlier than Moscow. This parameter cannot yet be changed in the program, and you need to take this into account before setting intervals


In addition to this, there is a separate scenario menu in which you can configure the behavior of the socket if movement was detected in Xiaomi camera Ants, or if our phone connects/disconnects from the home network.

Let's try it at work. USB output is stated as 5V1A. Without load we have almost standard 5V output

Connect a 1A load

The device does not support a 2A load and falls into the protection.
During testing, a very unpleasant point was revealed: the socket does not remember its state after a power outage, and after power is restored, both outputs remain in the off state. And no notifications about this are displayed in the application. Until you check it yourself, you won’t know that the outlet is disconnected.
I sent them feedback on this matter. Perhaps this point will be corrected in future firmware, but at the moment I consider this a big minus. On a stupid GSM socket this parameter can even be changed.
And finally, let's look at the intestines. It was not very easy to open, because... There are no gaps at all, and the hard plastic did not want to bend at all. The build quality is, of course, excellent. In principle, I didn’t expect anything else.
