Definition
Xiaomi TV remotes are a family of remotes for operating Xiaomi televisions and related devices, with connectivity and voice features varying by model. Products on official sale include the Xiaomi Bluetooth Remote 2 Pro, which the official product information describes as supporting smart voice, NFC casting, and USB-C charging (see the official product page).
How it works
After pairing with the TV, a remote handles navigation, volume, and confirmation; voice-capable models let you hold the voice key and speak commands to the TV, working with Xiaomi’s voice-assistant stack for search and control. Connectivity differs by model: the 2 Pro is a Bluetooth voice remote, while more basic models exist; the exact connection and compatibility of each model is governed by its official product page.
Usage
The everyday use is with a Xiaomi TV or TV box: picking content, adjusting volume, and navigating apps, with voice models adding voice search. The community has also extended the family in two directions: using the 2 Pro as a voice input device for a computer (see the Xiaomi Bluetooth Remote 2 Pro entry), and — in episode 007 — treating the remote as the natural input device for AI interaction on the TV side.
Related and confusable terms
- This entry is the product family; the Xiaomi Bluetooth Remote 2 Pro is one specific product within it. When an episode or article says just “Xiaomi remote”, do not assume a specific model.
- The remote (hardware) is separate from the voice assistant (software capabilities such as HyperXiaoAI); the voice key is only one trigger for the assistant on the TV.
- Other entries such as Xiaomi smartphones and XiaoAI speakers cover different Xiaomi product lines.
Discussed on Next Token
In episode 007, in the chapter “重做电视启动器，让旧设备接入 AI” (Rebuilding a TV launcher to bring old devices into AI), 歸藏 (Guizang) imagined turning an old TV into the living-room big screen for talking to all of his AIs, and said the input device is not a mouse but the “Xiaomi remote — it was born to work with the TV” — a remote can do everything on the TV, and the same would work on a computer. The episode uses “Xiaomi remote” generically, without naming a model. See the episode 007 chapter (Chinese transcript); for the episode 005 discussion of the 2 Pro, see the Xiaomi Bluetooth Remote 2 Pro entry.
