Xiaomi has unveiled its latest smart home gadget, the Mijia Smart Temperature and Humidity Sensor 3 Mini, designed for those who want to monitor indoor climate conditions effortlessly. This compact and lightweight device measures just 43 x 43 x 12.5mm, making it easy to place anywhere in your home. It features a 2.1-inch LCD screen with a slim 5.1mm bezel, ensuring clear readability. The sensor provides high-precision readings with an accuracy of 0.1°C for temperature and 1% for humidity, refreshing data every 6 seconds for real-time monitoring. Though it is built to be durable and wear-resistant, it is not waterproof, so it should be kept away from direct water exposure. Installation is simple, thanks to the double-sided adhesive stickers included in the package.
The Mijia Smart Sensor 3 Mini runs on a CR2450 button battery, offering up to 3 years of battery life in long-lasting mode and 2 years in standard mode. The long-lasting mode extends battery performance by 50%, though it may slightly delay automation responses. The sensor pairs with the Mijia Bluetooth gateway, allowing seamless integration with other smart home devices through the Mijia app. Users can also control the sensor hands-free via Xiao AI, Xiaomi’s virtual assistant, which provides voice updates on temperature and humidity. A visual comfort indicator in the form of emoji symbols helps users quickly assess indoor conditions— a smiling face for ideal conditions and a frowning face when adjustments are needed. Additionally, the device supports three months of local data storage and six months of cloud storage, making it easy to track climate trends over time.
Xiaomi has priced the Mijia Smart Temperature and Humidity Sensor 3 Mini at CNY 34.9 in China, and when it reaches Nepal, it is expected to cost around NPR 900. This budget-friendly sensor is an excellent addition to any smart home setup, offering real-time monitoring, long battery life, and smart automation features at an affordable price.
