IT Home reported on October 19 that the Xiaomi Smart Switch 2 Pro is now available for crowdfunding on Youpin (click here to visit), with crowdfunding prices starting at 114 yuan. IT Home has compiled the prices as follows:
Single-button: 114 yuan
Two-button: 133 yuan
Three-button: 152 yuan
The series remains positioned as an entry-level retrofit product for bringing traditional lighting into a smart home. It fits a standard 86-type wall box and can replace a conventional switch in the same position. Xiaomi highlights compatibility with both live-wire-only and live-and-neutral wiring, Mesh 2.0 networking, buttons that can be converted into wireless switches, and support for both traditional and smart lights.
In terms of appearance, this generation of smart switches continues the “thin panel” approach. The product page says the panel is 3.5 mm thick and has a high-strength steel support plate, which is intended to help it sit closer to the wall after installation and reduce the likelihood of deformation. The surface is AG glass with an AF coating, promoted as resistant to grease, fingerprints and scratches, and is available in 2 colors. The buttons now use microswitches, which Xiaomi describes as providing a crisp press and quick rebound.
For installation compatibility, it supports a design compatible with both live-wire-only and live-and-neutral wiring. It can automatically display different control interfaces according to the home's wiring, targeting retrofits in older homes without a reserved neutral wire. Xiaomi says no rewiring or additional retrofit expense is needed. For the two-button and three-button versions, users can also freely assign a corresponding light to each button in the Mi Home app, reducing the cost of repeated disassembly and adjustments if wires are connected incorrectly.
For connectivity and control, the Xiaomi Smart Switch 2 Pro uses a Xiaomi Mesh 2.0 module. Xiaomi claims a 50% improvement in response speed and a 50% reduction in networking time, and says it supports remote automatic OTA updates. Control options include physical buttons, remote operation through the Mi Home app and XiaoAI voice control. It is also listed as supporting Xiaomi HyperConnect and as “connected to Mi Home.” These features depend on a Bluetooth Mesh gateway; fine print on the page also notes that connecting to Mi Home requires a device with Bluetooth Mesh gateway capability.
For scenario-based functions, Xiaomi gives examples including lights turning on automatically when the door opens, which requires a smart door lock, Bluetooth Mesh gateway, curtains and other devices to work together; and using 1 button when leaving home to turn off the lights, open the curtains and trigger a robot vacuum. A more practical feature is that “buttons can be converted into wireless switches”: in wireless mode, a button can control more than lights and can also link to devices such as a robot vacuum and mop or an air purifier.
For safety and durability, the new product supports a maximum current load of 10 A and a load capacity of 2200 W, and provides over-temperature and overload protection. Its advertised service life uses a “double-million” design, referring to ratings of around 1 million button presses and 1 million switching cycles.
As for smaller features, the product uses saddle-type wiring terminals. Xiaomi says their toothed wire-clamping structure accommodates both solid and stranded wires and reduces the chance of damaging wires during installation. It also supports electricity-use statistics viewable by day, week, month or year, for users who pay close attention to a circuit's energy consumption.
