Chinese Xiaomi unveiled the Smart Home Suite packed with security features and controlled by mobile phones. The company is trying to capitalize on the burgeoning business of smart homes.

The Smart Home Suite includes a human motion sensor, and a pair of door and window sensors that can be used for home security, Xiaomi President Bin Lin said today at the GeekPark Innovation Festival in Beijing. It can be easily installed and also offers a wireless switching device for controlling appliances along with a gateway that links the components with other devices by Wi-Fi, allowing control by mobile phone.

As part of the company's push into burgeoning business of smart homes, Xiaomi plans to invest in startups this year, Lin said. The investments will include appliances and hardware that complement Xiaomi’s existing devices.
