The Official Xiaomi Thread

After my last A series Xiaomi I decided to get me a light blue Redmi A1. Pretty keen to see how it performs, hopefully not as bad as the unusable 9A.

Some people may have noticed the 0.08 (QVGA 320x240) Time of Flight / Depth sensor and wonder if it is any good? Well I did some googling and it turns out low res is very good for that duty since I do not need a lot of pixel information and these cameras can be driven at some pretty high framerates which help improve accuracy. They are mostly used in the automotive industry for in-cab detection.
Looking forward to hearing how it goes - that price is so good.
 
Got myself a xiaomi smart fan

Actually very nice. The motor is very quiet, I barely hear it when I sleep.

You can also automate it depending on the temperature in your room.

It's a pity they don't do smart aircons, hopefully it's in the works.

The problem with fans is it doesn't get cool air into the room, it just blows the hot air around...

I'm off-grid so aircon it not really an option.

The fan is actually fine, if you leave the window open. It also keeps the mozies away.
