Xiaomi unveils Mijia smart curtains

Xiaomi, a titan of tech innovation, is once again expanding its smart home ecosystem. Under its Mijia brand, the company has introduced the Mijia Hidden Smart Curtains—a sleek, quiet, and cutting-edge addition to its lineup. As reported by GizmoChina, this gadget blends minimalist design with advanced features, making it a potential standout for 2025. Here’s why it’s turning heads.

Compact Design and Style

The Mijia Hidden Smart Curtains boast a motor unit just 5.5 cm tall, small enough to tuck completely into a curtain rod, preserving your room’s aesthetic. Perfect for modern homes that prize clean lines and simplicity, these curtains don’t compromise on power. With a 1.5 N·m torque motor, they can shift curtains weighing up to 50 kg at a smooth 8 cm/s, adjustable across three speed settings.

Silence is a key perk—noise levels stay below 30 dB, ensuring near-silent operation even at night. That’s a boon for bedrooms or living rooms where every sound counts.

Smart Control, Your Way

Xiaomi has made versatility a hallmark of these curtains, offering five control options:

• Xiaomi Home App: Customize scenarios, set opening percentages (like 30% or 70%), and manage them from anywhere.
• Voice Commands: HyperOS integration lets you bark orders via smart speakers or your phone.
• Remote Control: A physical remote keeps it old-school for button lovers.
• Manual Tug: A gentle pull triggers the motor—intuitive and effortless.
• Scheduling: Program them to open with the sunrise or close at a set time.

Support for single or dual curtains, plus syncing with other Xiaomi devices (think lights flicking on as curtains part), weaves them into a seamless smart home tapestry.

Pricing and Setup

Available in China starting at 599 yuan (roughly 7,000 RUB or $82 USD as of March 30, 2025), you can grab them from Xiaomi stores, JD.com, or Tmall. Free professional installation sweetens the deal—no pre-existing tracks required. There’s a catch, though: they’re built for straight rails only. L- or U-shaped tracks or eyelet curtains might need tweaks.

Why It’s a Big Deal

Smart curtains aren’t just about convenience—they’re a nod to energy efficiency and comfort. By fine-tuning light and temperature, they can trim costs on cooling or heating. Statista pegs the smart home market at $150 billion in 2025, and Xiaomi’s clearly gunning for a bigger slice. Building on the success of models like the Mijia Smart Curtain 2, the Hidden Smart Curtains up the ante with refined design and functionality.

What’s Next?

No word yet on a global rollout, but if they hit international markets, they’ll square off against rivals like the SwitchBot Curtain 3 (around $60 on Amazon). Xiaomi’s smart home push—from locks to AC units—shows no signs of slowing, and the Mijia Hidden Smart Curtains slot right into that vision.
