Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home: A Leading Player in the Smart Home Market for Pre-Furnished Apartments

In the smart home market, Huawei’s HarmonyOS Smart Home is leading the industry by a significant margin. Data from AVC Revo shows that in 2025, Huawei’s HarmonyOS Smart Home held a commanding lead in market share in the pre-furnished smart home sector, achieving a dominant market share. Behind this achievement lies Huawei’s long-term dedication to the technological foundation and continuous breakthroughs in ecosystem integration. While the industry remains stuck in the rudimentary stage of “device assembly,” Huawei’s HarmonyOS Smart Home has already built a system-level advantage through its underlying technologies such as whole-house intelligent systems, AI understanding, and whole-house collaboration. The new Xiaoyi Butler, the Smart Host X2 Pro, the high-end art aesthetic panel, and multiple smart home packages covering both pre-installed and after-installation scenarios launched at the nova 15 series and all-scenario new product launch event on December 22nd further widened this gap. Technological Breakthrough: From “Device Assembly” to “System-Level Intelligence”. Traditional smart home manufacturers suffer from a lack of deep collaboration between devices, requiring users to control different brands’ products through multiple apps, resulting in clunky scene linkages and high latency. For example, to achieve movie viewing mode, users need to separately close curtains, dim lights, and turn on the TV, a cumbersome and fragmented experience. Huawei’s HarmonyOS Smart Home, however, addresses this from the ground up. The new generation Smart Host X2 Pro is equipped with a flagship mobile phone-level chip, providing crucial support for core computing power and laying the hardware foundation for smooth system operation and future functional expansion. This reduces system latency and improves end-to-end scheduling efficiency, enabling millisecond-level response speeds for all devices in the house, laying the foundation for scenario-based intelligence. More importantly, the Smart Host X2 Pro, equipped with HarmonyOS 6, achieves fully localized deployment of device, scene, and user data. Data is not sent to the cloud and is transmitted encrypted, ensuring financial-grade privacy and security while avoiding latency caused by cloud reliance. For example, even in an offline environment, users can still control devices such as lights and air conditioners via voice, and the PLC connection technology has three times the anti-interference capability, maintaining a stable connection even in large apartments. These technological breakthroughs have propelled Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home from “device assembly” to “system-level intelligence,” making it the preferred solution in the pre-furnished apartment market. The new product amplifies its advantages: Xiaoyi Butler redefines interaction, making smart homes constantly fresh and new. The core highlight of this launch event is the newly upgraded Xiaoyi Butler. Traditional voice assistants are often criticized for “not understanding complex commands” and “requiring fixed phrases,” but Xiaoyi Butler, powered by the Xiaoyi Big Model, achieves “natural conversational interaction.” Users don’t need to remember device names; they only need to say “turn on the light to the left of the sofa” or “dimming the main light in the bedroom,” and the system can accurately locate the device based on the 3D floor plan model. Even if the command is incomplete or a new task is inserted, Xiaoyi Butler can understand and execute it through context. Even more groundbreaking is the “Scene Master” function, which allows users to create complex scenes with more than ten actions in a single sentence, such as “create an early morning scene: open the curtains at 8 am and play music,” or modify parameters through multiple rounds of dialogue, such as “adjust the air conditioner temperature to 26 degrees Celsius in the goodnight scene,” completely eliminating the cumbersome operation of apps. Xiaoyi Butler’s “directional noise reduction” and “whisper” modes solve two major pain points in home scenarios: the system can still accurately pick up sound even under 70-decibel TV noise; and users can give commands in a soft voice late at night, and Xiaoyi Butler will respond in the same gentle voice to avoid disturbing family members. These detailed designs elevate intelligent interaction from mere functionality to emotional companionship, further strengthening Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home’s market differentiation advantage. A full-scenario solution: a closed-loop system for pre-installation and after-installation, covering the entire user lifecycle. Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home’s leading position is also reflected in its precise understanding of user needs. For the pre-installed apartment market, Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home offers three pre-installation smart home packages: a standard package (29,999 yuan), a professional package (59,999 yuan), and a premium package (99,999 yuan), covering a 3-bedroom, 2-living room apartment of approximately 90 square meters. These packages provide one-stop service from equipment to scenarios, meeting the quality home decoration needs of different budget groups. For already renovated users, the after-installation smart home packages are priced at 9,999 yuan for the trial package, 25,999 yuan for the standard package, and 49,999 yuan for the professional package. These packages support 24-hour rapid renovation without the need for wall demolition or wiring, achieving intelligent upgrades at the lowest cost. This closed-loop layout of “pre-installation + aftermarket” allows Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home to penetrate the entire user lifecycle, providing adaptable solutions from new home decoration to old home renovation. The launch of high-end art aesthetic panels further enhances product premium capabilities. For example, the Smart MINI Pro Sun, Moon, and Star Diamond series uses thousands of hand-set diamond crystals, adapting to various luxury home styles; the Mondrian Kintsugi series of smart switches integrates ceramic firing techniques with the “Slender Gold” calligraphy style, incorporating Chinese aesthetics into interactive design. These products not only meet users’ functional needs but also become the finishing touch to home decoration, reinforcing Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home’s brand image of creating a high-end smart life for users. Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home’s market leadership is essentially a virtuous cycle where technological foundation determines experience, and leading experience feeds back into the ecosystem. From chip computing power to AI understanding, from whole-house collaboration to aesthetic design, Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home has built system-level advantages through continuous technological investment, and new products further amplify this gap. While the industry is still chasing the “number of connected devices,” Huawei’s HarmonyOS Smart Home has redefined the standard of smart homes through “deep understanding of user needs” and “seamless experience across all scenarios,” bringing users an immersive, personalized, and scalable smart space experience.
