Xiaomi has unveiled its new smart home hub, expected to launch in the coming weeks. The Smart Home Screen 8 PTZ follows the design of the 2022 Smart Home Screen 10, with a square shape, rectangular display and a fabric-covered speaker below – but with one key addition that stands out.
The hub appears to include an integrated pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) camera. The teaser image also shows the time, date and weekday on the home screen, but the full functionality of the hub hasn’t been revealed.
It's available on Xiaomi's China site for ¥99999 – around £500 or $700 – which is quite steep for a smart home hub. However, information is still very limited at this time, so we'll have to wait to find out more.
The Xiaomi Smart Camera 4C was unveiled last week
The listing also mentions 360° AI care, though Xiaomi hasn’t explained what that means. With the camera at the front, it could indicate facial recognition or personalised features, but that remains speculative.
The announcement follows Xiaomi’s recent security camera upgrade, hinting that more smart home products could be on the way.
