The Xiaomi Smart Home Hub 2’s connection distance with devices is recommended to be no more than 10 meters, with no more than two walls between them for optimal performance. This recommendation is based on typical home environments and is intended to provide reliable connectivity. However, the actual distance and ability to penetrate walls can vary depending on the construction materials used in a home;
For example, concrete and brick walls may impede the signal more than drywall or wood. Therefore, it's important to consider the layout of a home and the materials used in its construction when planning the placement of smart home devices;
To ensure a reliable connection, it's recommended to place the Home Hub in a central location within a home to minimize the distance between it and devices. Additionally, keep the Home Hub away from other electronic devices that may cause interference, such as microwaves or cordless phones.
Note:
Consider using a mesh Wi-Fi system to extend the range of a network and improve connectivity throughout the home if the distance between devices and the Home Hub exceeds the recommended limits.
