Huh...first news of this. I'll have to look into it. I love their non-internet stuff, like their power banks, air pump, screwdrivers and other small gadgets, but usually steer clear of their IoT things unless I know for a fact I can block them and use them offline.

EDIT: I'm not sure what other lite devices might not connect online. But the Mi Air Purifier 4 Lite website already shows "works with Amazon Alexa and OK Google". So I guess this one is definitely online...

I see, interesting. I was wrong then.

Edit: So it seems they have non "smart" versions but not for everything.
