Xiaomi has officially launched Xiaomi Miloco 2.0 , a new open-source, whole-home smart AI solution designed to make smart homes more proactive, personalized, and context-aware. Building on Xiaomi’s flagship MiMo model and integrated with OpenClaw as an agent-based system, Miloco 2.0 enhances how connected homes understand people, remember habits, detect risks, and perform complex household tasks without relying solely on pre-set automation rules.
What is Xiaomi Miloco 2.0?
Xiaomi Miloco 2.0 is described as a future-oriented, open-source, AI-powered smart home solution . Unlike traditional home automation, which typically relies on fixed «if this, then that» rules, Miloco 2.0 is designed to understand context, identify family members, remember long-term habits, and make proactive decisions.
According to Xiaomi’s presentation, the system can bring smart homes closer to a true AI assistant model capable of remembering, recognizing people, and executing commands . This means that Miloco 2.0 not only reacts to direct commands but also observes household activity and makes useful decisions based on common sense, family routines, and connected Mi Home devices.
Main features of Xiaomi Miloco 2.0
Miloco 2.0 brings several important improvements over Miloco 1.0, especially in perception, identity recognition, long-term memory, and autonomous task execution.
Conscience based on common sense
The system can identify potential hazards without users having to manually create each rule. For example, it can recognize situations like children playing with knives or elderly relatives falling, and then issue different levels of warnings depending on the situation.
Identity recognition
Miloco 2.0 combines facial information and body posture data to recognize family members. Thanks to its compatibility with large screen sizes, it can proactively register new members and offer personalized actions based on who is detected in the home.
Family memories
The system can accumulate long-term habits and preferences through perception and interaction. The Agent can then use these memories to make proactive decisions, such as reminding users of fixed routines or turning recurring habits into automated household chores.
Family chores
Miloco 2.0 transforms traditional conditional automation into more complex, long-term, familiar tasks. It can handle tasks such as turning on lights when someone enters, sending daily medication reminders, tracking exercise habits, and executing multi-step actions based on the user’s intent.
Proactive intelligence
By combining common sense, identity recognition, family memory, and familiar tasks, Xiaomi Miloco 2.0 can act more like a digital butler. It observes the house, assesses the context, and intervenes at the right moment, before the user has to manually request it.
Family panel
Xiaomi also offers a web-based dashboard for users. This control panel provides a real-time overview of the home, connected Mi Home devices, family members, family profiles, and event history.
Real-world example: smarter proactive care
In Xiaomi’s presentation video, Miloco 2.0 showcases a more human-like interaction with the smart home. If the homeowner arrives home later than usual, the system can deduce that they may have been working overtime. The Xiao Ai speaker can then automatically send a voice message such as, «You’ve been working a lot of overtime; you should rest a bit before going to bed.»
Another example shows that when the system detects a new Mi Home device, it can automatically recommend new smart home scenarios. This makes expanding the ecosystem easier, as users don’t have to manually search for all the available automations.
Technical requirements
Xiaomi Miloco 2.0 is currently aimed at users and developers who want to explore advanced AI implementation in the smart home. The recommended configuration includes:
- Hardware: at least 4 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage
- Operation: It is recommended that the system be in operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Recommended device: Mac mini
- Operating system: macOS or Linux
- Windows compatibility: Windows users are advised to run it via WSL
- Account requirements: a Xiaomi account with devices already connected to Mi Home
- AI requirements: API key for large multimodal models
- Recommended models: MiMo-v2.5 for perception and MiMo-v2.5-pro for agent execution via OpenClaw
Why it’s important for Xiaomi smart homes
Miloco 2.0 is important because it demonstrates that Xiaomi’s smart home strategy goes beyond simply controlling devices. Instead of just turning lights on and off based on fixed triggers, Xiaomi is creating a system where the smart home can understand people, their habits, risks, and context.
This could make Mi Home devices more useful in everyday life, especially for families with children, elderly members, or complex routines. The system’s ability to connect perception, memory, and task execution also gives developers a stronger foundation for creating new AI-powered home experiences.
