Emir BardakçıXiaomi has now made its groundbreaking track socket system available on JD.com, the latest feature to add to its smart home ecosystem. The track sockets have a high capacity of up to 8000W, enabling two or more high-wattage devices to be plugged in at the same time without the risk of overloading. This modern solution to the common issue of the lack of power points in the home is kept consistent with Xiaomi’s emphasis on security and ease of use. The system has a special rotating on/off function and is offered in three varying lengths to accommodate different home design needs.
