Xiaomi has started pre-orders in China for its new Mijia Smart Gas Water Heater 2 Silent Constant Temperature (16L), boasting an impressively low noise level of just 32 dB(A). This smart gas water heater features advanced technology to ensure stable water temperature and enhanced convenience for users.

The water heater maintains a stable water temperature through an integrated sensor and smart algorithms that adjust heating in real time to minimize fluctuations. Xiaomi claims its TSI technology can boost water flow by up to 246% while achieving a 99.9% sterilization rate, offering both efficiency and hygiene.

Compatible with Xiaomi’s HyperConnect ecosystem, the device supports remote control via Xiaomi’s app. Users can customize temperature settings, switch modes, and even operate the heater with voice commands through Xiaomi’s Xiao AI assistant. It also integrates with other smart home gadgets, such as a smart lock, allowing the heater to start warming water automatically upon detecting your arrival home.
