Xiaomi Bluetooth Remote 2 Pro
The Xiaomi Bluetooth Remote 2 Pro is a Bluetooth voice remote from Xiaomi, summarized in official product information as offering smart voice control, NFC screen casting, and USB-C charging. It works with Xiaomi’s voice system on HyperOS devices: hold the voice button to command a TV or set-top box, or use it as a voice input device. Positioning, pricing, and availability change; the official Xiaomi product page is authoritative for purchase and specifications.
Supported devices and boundaries
Compatibility can differ between remote control, voice input, and NFC casting; check the relevant feature notes on the official product page. It is an accessory designed for Xiaomi’s own devices; connecting it to other equipment, such as a computer, is not an officially promoted use case. Such extensions depend on community projects or self-built software, discussed below and in the show. Detailed parameters such as the Bluetooth version and battery life should follow the official page and packaging.
Discussion in the show
Two chapters of episode 005 relate to this remote. In the chapter “Photoshop、重写软件与 GPL 讨论” (Photoshop, rewriting software, and the GPL discussion), Yang Pan mentioned he had wired up a Xiaomi remote for voice input, referencing an existing open source project; when working with an agent, you can simply state requirements and ask it to drop the original dependency and re-implement.
In the chapter “小米蓝牙遥控器做语音输入” (Using a Xiaomi Bluetooth remote for voice input), Yang Pan noted the 2 Pro’s top-spec sandblasted aluminum shell, describing a button layout identical to the Apple TV remote, hold-to-talk voice, Bluetooth, USB charging, and about 1% battery drain per day; he credited that quality to its 99 yuan price, calling the bill of materials impressive, and recommended buying the 2 Pro at 99 yuan, with the first generation cheaper at 49 yuan. He also said he had his Codex agent build his own voice input program during the National Day holiday, and after two days of use he found himself unaccustomed to typing on a keyboard. Guizang asked from an industry angle: with a proven hit remote on hand, Xiaomi could sell the remote separately with an official companion app and it would sell well. These price, battery, and build descriptions are participant experiences and judgments, not official parameters; see the episode 005 chapter in the Chinese transcript.
