Berlin – September 08, 2026 -- Hisense used IFA 2026 to unveil V AIOS, a new operating system designed to link televisions, mobile devices and home appliances into a single AI-driven ecosystem, while also confirming it will remain an official partner of the UEFA European Championship through 2028.

V AIOS turns household devices into an AI ecosystem

V AIOS builds on Hisense's existing VIDAA OS and ConnectLife platforms, aiming to connect TVs, phones and appliances so they respond to household habits rather than requiring manual control. The system uses edge AI to process data locally, with Hisense emphasizing privacy and transparency in how it handles user information.

Paired with a new AI Companion Suite, the platform can suggest recipes based on ingredients on hand and automatically select matching oven settings, adjust laundry programs for different fabric types, or regulate room climate according to individual preferences.

V AIOS, the next evolution of Hisense's VIDAA OS, is structured around four functions: Sense, Think, Communicate and Execute. The system is designed to detect people, devices and surroundings, interpret context and intent, communicate across devices, and coordinate actions on the user's behalf.

The AI Companion Suite targets three daily routines

Built on top of V AIOS, the AI Companion Suite focuses on Cooking, Laundry, and Air & Energy. In the kitchen, the system is meant to link the refrigerator, oven and other appliances to recommend recipes based on available ingredients and individual food preferences, then guide the cooking process.
