Xiaomi just released their long-awaited
Xiaomi just released their long-awaited 3rd generation Smart Home Gateway / Hub with Apple Home support. -But is it a real improvement? Let's find out!

This new model of the Xiaomi HUB comes with Zigbee 3.0, it serves as a Bluetooth hub and it has Apple Homekit support. It's only 9 x 2.5 cm in size and it gets powered using a Micro-USB cable.
It differs a lot from the previous generations of the Smart Gateway in the sense that it does NOT have a built-in speaker, it does NOT have a ring of LED lights and it's not plugged in the wall directly.
This model does function as a Bluetooth gateway which allows you to pair any of the Xiaomi compatible Bluetooth Mesh devices. This by itself is nothing that special as basically all "bigger" Xiaomi products that have been released recently actually have a built-in Bluetooth hub. -So that's not that impressive...
What is more impressive is that it supports Apple Homekit, so you can pair it with the Apple Home APP. -Again this is nothing that new as the Aqara hub also offers this functionality, and that gateway has been out for almost 1.5 years now as well.
In broad terms the Xiaomi Gateway V3 is a trimmed down version of the existing hub that does not have a speaker, it does not have an LED light and most of its core functions are pretty much the same. (If not also trimmed down...)
Needless to say that the Xiaomi Smart Home Gateway V3 does not really feel like a big upgrade to this HUB.
Yes, it has a newer version of Zigbee...
Yes, it functions as a Bluetooth Mesh HUB...
Yes, it offers Apple Homekit support...
But is it really enough to call this the V3?
If you want some of your devices to work with Apple Homekit and/or you need to be able to connect more than the 32 devices you have connected to your existing gateway: you might still want to pick it up.
But personally, I would have loved to see some more exciting improvements in the V3 of what was already a very well functioning hub in the first place.
