Berlin – September 10, 2026 -- Haier unveiled an AI-powered smart home ecosystem at IFA 2026, showing connected appliances that adjust laundry cycles, food storage, cooking and entertainment settings based on real-time household behavior.
The Vision 15 washer reads laundry loads through an internal camera
Sensors and algorithms detect load size, balance and foam levels, then automatically adjust water volume, detergent dosing, drum movement and program settings.
A refrigeration prototype called Maestro tracks food freshness
Its AI Food Care System 2.0 identifies stored items and recommends storage conditions to help users manage food more effectively.
The ID Ultimate Series 6 oven ends cooking cycles automatically
An internal camera recognizes the dish being prepared, monitors cooking progress, and stops the program once the expected result is reached.
UltraSense AI adjusts TV picture and sound in real time
The system analyzes both the content being played and ambient room conditions on Haier Smart TVs, adapting output accordingly.
The hOn app ties these devices into one coordinated system
It links Haier Europe's connected products, services and home solutions so they respond together to users' daily routines rather than operating as isolated devices.
Haier's smart home platform has surpassed 130 million registered users worldwide
The company recorded 86.1 billion smart-scenario interactions in 2025. According to Euromonitor International, Haier Smart Home was ranked the world's largest smart home company by global revenue from that market in 2025.
Robots and an exoskeleton extend the ecosystem beyond appliances
Haier showed humanoid robots working alongside household equipment, cleaning robots designed to identify objects and dirt types, and companion robots built for voice interaction. A Haier exoskeleton uses sensors and algorithms to interpret a user's movement intent in real time, adjusting support levels while helping mobility outside the home.
Haier plans to invest at least €13 billion over the next five years
The investment targets foundational technologies including artificial intelligence, semiconductors and IoT security. The company topped the IPRdaily global ranking for smart home invention patents for the 15th consecutive time in the first half of 2026, based on its "10+N" open innovation system combining global research with local user insights.
Visitors to IFA 2026 in Berlin, running September 4-8, can view Haier's smart home technologies in Hall 3.1, Booth 101.
