I just took delivery of the same item too in gold.

I thought it didn’t work…..
BUT I figured it out!
- Shut down Mi Pad 2.
- Make sure the hub has power + USB all plugged in first.
- Plug into tablet. Charging indicator light should turn on.
- Turn on Mi Pad and you should get charge (it’s trickle charge) + OTG.
Note: USB is hot-swappable, however, if you disconnect power while the tablet is in use… you need to restart the tablet to get both OTG & Charge working again.
Also the charge is trickle charge. Charging anywhere between 500 – 1000 mW. Normally the included Xiomi charger will charge at a rate of 6000 mW. Your battery level will go down slowly under use, and charge up very slowly when not in use.
Still not a perfect solution…
