Huawei’s HarmonyOS Smart Home firmly holds the top position in the smart home market for pre-furnished apartments.

In the field of smart home solutions for pre-furnished apartments, the industry is at a clear turning point. With the country’s continued promotion of digital home construction and the upgrading of living quality, smart technology is no longer an option, but an important component of pre-furnished apartment delivery. However, as smart technology truly enters the stage of large-scale implementation, the market’s focus has shifted—from “how many functions are available” to “whether the system can withstand long-term, large-scale use.” At this stage, market share has become a highly valuable indicator. It is not just sales performance, but a comprehensive result after the solution has been repeatedly selected and continuously operated in real projects. On December 22nd, Huawei held a launch event for the nova 15 series and all-scenario new products in Shenzhen. At the press conference, Huawei’s HarmonyOS Smart Home officially announced a significant achievement: since 2025, Huawei has achieved a dominant market share in the pre-furnished smart home market. This result is not a short-term fluctuation caused by a single product, but rather a natural reflection of the long-term effectiveness of its system capabilities in the high-barrier scenario of pre-furnished apartments. The leading market share stems primarily from “whether the system is used long-term.” A core reality of pre-furnished smart home solutions is that system delivery does not equate to true success. Many solutions appear fully functional at the initial delivery stage, but due to complexity and difficulty in adjustment, they gradually become idle after move-in, ultimately affecting overall reputation and repurchase rates. The upgrade of the new Xiaoyi Butler addresses this issue of “long-term usage.” The most representative example is Xiaoyi Butler’s “Scene Master” function. In the past, whole-house scenes often needed to be configured all at once during installation, with subsequent modifications heavily reliant on professionals, turning smart technology into a fixed pattern. Now, users can create or modify scenes with a single sentence, truly returning the power to configure smart scenes to the user. This seemingly subtle change directly determines whether smart homes will be used long-term and frequently. In the pre-furnished housing market, consistent and frequent use is a fundamental condition for maintaining a leading market share. The details of user experience form the implicit support for the number one market share. In real living environments, smart systems face complex and ever-changing life scenarios. The optimization of user experience details in the new Xiaoyi Butler reflects a deep understanding of these real-world problems. For example, its directional noise reduction capability in noisy environments can more accurately identify the source of commands; and in nighttime scenarios, Xiaoyi Butler’s “whisper” mode avoids disturbing family members through breathy interaction. These designs do not pursue a tangible technological presence, but rather emphasize just-right intelligent intervention. It is this refinement at the level of detail that determines users’ long-term evaluation of the brand and lays the foundation for Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home’s continued leading market share. The upgrade of the Smart Host X2 Pro is essentially a safeguard for achieving the leading market share on a large scale. If user experience determines whether a system is “usable,” then system stability determines whether the solution can be deployed on a large scale. In the context of fully furnished apartments, with numerous devices and long operating cycles, any delays or instability are quickly amplified. The fully upgraded Smart Host X2 Pro, with its stronger computing power, higher concurrent processing capabilities, and multi-host collaboration mechanism, ensures system stability even under conditions of multiple devices, large spaces, and long-term operation. This capability may not be immediately apparent in daily use, but it is a crucial underlying guarantee for maintaining market share from “leading” to “sustained leadership.” The high-end art panel reduces the practical obstacles to further increasing market share. The selection logic for smart home solutions in pre-furnished apartments involves not only technical aspects but also design and decision-making. Whether smart devices integrate seamlessly into the overall space directly impacts their inclusion in the standard configuration list. The newly launched high-end art panels feature a systematic design encompassing materials, proportions, craftsmanship, and interactive details, transforming smart devices from jarring technical symbols into an integral part of the spatial design. This significantly reduces resistance to overall solution adoption and creates conditions for continued market share expansion. Package-based solutions enable leading solutions to be sustainably replicated. What truly differentiates a company from its competitors is not just the system capabilities themselves, but also the ability to deliver these capabilities consistently across different projects. Many solutions perform well in individual projects, but their effectiveness diminishes significantly when deployed across multiple regions and batches due to complex configurations and inconsistent implementation. Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home offers multiple smart home packages covering both pre-installation and aftermarket scenarios. Through deep insights into mainstream apartment types and core needs, it transforms the originally complex whole-house smart home project into clear, standardized configuration combinations. This approach significantly reduces the difficulty of project understanding and implementation, and also minimizes uncertainty during the delivery process. More importantly, package deals are not a sales strategy, but a reflection of system delivery capabilities. They ensure consistency in functional experience and system stability across different pre-furnished apartment projects, allowing Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home’s leading position to continue to be demonstrated over a longer period. Conclusion: As the competition in the pre-furnished smart home market enters a phase centered on system capabilities, being number one in market share is no longer just a stage achievement, but a concentrated verification of system maturity, stability, and long-term availability. From the continuous evolution of Xiaoyi Butler in scene understanding and experience details, to the system support for large-scale stable operation by the Smart Host X2 Pro, and the synergistic advancement of aesthetic design and delivery capabilities, Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home is using a complete set of mutually supportive capabilities to continuously consolidate its leading position in the pre-furnished smart home market. The significance of new products lies precisely in this—not in creating new gimmicks, but in making the established leading advantage even more solid and harder to shake.
