Available in a sleek white color, the Smart Plug 2 is designed to blend seamlessly into modern homes.
The Xiaomi Smart Plug 2 is compatible with Google Home, enabling users to operate connected devices via Google Assistant Voice commands. The Xiaomi Home app offers additional functionality, such as remote control of devices, energy consumption monitoring, and the ability to check if a device is switched on. Users can also set up schedules for appliances and view usage statistics. A unique feature of the Smart Plug 2 is its built-in power button, which activates a countdown timer when double-pressed.
