The author has always felt that if only a mobile phone remote control function is added to an electric device, then there is still a long distance from the smart device. The mobile phone remote control is nothing more than the extension of the ordinary remote control. A similar device has already been born and it is called a remote controller.
Smart devices, especially home appliances, need smart first. For example, lights are turned on when there are people. Lights are turned off when nobody is in use. In the summer, air conditioners are cooler, winters are warmer, and sleep is more comfortable. Second, energy saving is needed. Today, with extremely high environmental protection requirements, a high-energy-consuming device is unpopular; in the end, it is also simple to operate.
Let's take a look at this green rice Aqara air conditioning light control combination can not meet the above requirements.
Pictured above is the true beauty of Aqara's air-conditioning mate. It looks like an ordinary socket converter, but with a lot of things inside.
Aqara Air Conditioning Companion supports Wi-Fi and ZigBee dual protocols. The latter is similar to the former and is a wireless transmission protocol. However, the low power consumption and low cost have the advantage of long life and low cost.
The air conditioner companion also has indicator lights, light sensors, buttons, and speakers distributed around the outlet.
What does the speaker do? In addition to the installation of sounds, you can also listen to the radio!
As for the meaning of listening to radio, this depends on the habit of use. Anyway, no matter if you use it or not, I have it.
In this way, the Aqara air conditioner companion as a ZigBee gateway can easily maintain its connection with other ZigBee devices, such as temperature sensors, human sensors, and mimic controllers that will be mentioned later.
Check out the Aqara Air Conditioning Companion Kit Family Portrait:
What are a bunch of small boxes?
With these things, you can combine them.
There are several special instructions:
Wall switch: The switch that turns on the light in your home, you need to open the switch and you can control the switch.
Wireless switch: Like the wall switch, it can be easily attached to the switch.
Rubik Cube Controller: A special remote control that can get different results with different gestures
After the wireless switch is affixed to the wall, it is like a wall switch in the home, without any sense of guilt.
The other sensors are very simple, the temperature sensor gets the current position temperature, the human sensor can detect the human body in the range, the door window sensor can detect the opening and closing of the door and window.
In the above figure, the following is the door and window sensor, which is based on the opening and closing of the door and window. The above is the author's own door and window alarm. When the door is open in the open state, it will alarm.
After introducing all the equipment, take a look at how to use it.
First, unplug the air conditioner in your home, then plug in your air conditioner mate and plug the air conditioning socket into your air conditioner partner.
The installation is complete and it is very easy.
Secondly, other equipment is placed in a suitable position according to need, for example, the temperature sensor is preferably placed at the place where people are often, so that the body temperature can be detected instead of the temperature near the air conditioner.
The detection distance of the human sensor is 7 meters and the detection angle is about 170 degrees, so it is very important to place it in a suitable place. It is usually attached to the corner of the room:
Readers with strong hands-on skills can change the wall switch and pay attention to the connection between the FireWire and the load line. Don't be wrong.
After installing the hardware, you can install the software. After all, you have to control this lot of equipment or have to phone.
After inserting the air conditioner companion into the power outlet for the first time, the speaker tells you with a Chinese female voice: Waiting for the connection, please open the APP.
After entering the Wi-Fi password in your home (supporting only 2.4G Wi-Fi), you will be required to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot sent from your device, and then return to the App. The air conditioner partner will then be prompted to connect successfully.
After that, the sub-devices under the air conditioner companion are all connected to the application, and the mobile application can be used to control all the devices.
The author prefers that temperature sensor so that the temperature in the home can be checked at any time.
After the device is successfully connected and the application is installed, let's see if the smart device mentioned in the title can be implemented.
After inserting the air conditioning socket into the air conditioner partner, add air conditioner to the app. First you need to select the brand, then the air conditioner partner will automatically match the air conditioner. Under normal circumstances, the matching will be successful soon, and you will be asked whether the air conditioner has just been turned on. If yes, then It's a perfect match.
If it doesn't matter, you can manually match it later, but it's just a little troublesome.
First of all, let's look at the simplest remote control air-conditioner, let the App serve as the air-conditioner remote control. After entering the air-conditioning interface, you can see the various function keys. First, the temperature control is in the most obvious place, and then the wind direction, air volume, and delivery can be selected. Wind mode and so on.
The App can also see the power consumption of the air conditioner in real time, and can also see it when it is on standby. The author's old air conditioner has a standby power consumption of 1 watt.
The next step is to automate the process. If you do not consider the cost of electricity, it is best to keep the constant temperature room in the house.
The first step is to turn on the air conditioner when there is someone, so set the start condition human sensor to move, but set the temperature sensor below or above a certain temperature, you can also add the conditions to meet the humidity at the same time, by the way to add a door and window closed conditions .
When these conditions are satisfied at the same time, let us let air-conditioning partners perform the following tasks:
Mode: Automatic
Temperature: 26
Custom: Automatic
Sweep: Open
In this way, an air conditioning automation setup suitable for the author is completed, and air conditioner remote controllers can no longer be found.
The air-conditioning companion also has a sleep mode that can dynamically adjust the air-conditioning temperature according to a pre-set sleep curve. Actually switching the air-conditioner on and off time is a reason. I don't know much about the proper degree of sleep at this time. I always feel that I cover the quilt. All right. Hopefully here, the App can take a moment to decide how to set up sleep.
Set up air conditioning, or set up air conditioning, after all, saving energy is also a must.
In general, adding a 30-minute unmanned mobile to turn off the air conditioner is actually not very rigorous. For example, how do you count the number of sleeping in the living room? The current human sensor can only detect someone moving, but can not detect whether there are people...
You can also set these automated rules to common scenarios such as going home, leaving home, getting up, going to bed, etc. Since there is only one air-conditioning partner, you can only operate the air conditioner.
However, the multi-scene mode will allow air-conditioning partners to work in semi-automatic mode, if it can automatically identify with the App to go home, away from home is better. This feature has already been implemented in another automated tool, IFTTT.
Finally, if you have other equipment, then there are more ways to play. For example, someone moves to open the socket, closes the socket after leaving, someone moves to open the air purifier, someone moves to open the smart light bulb, and so on.
The main condition is limited by the sensor. If the sensor is powerful enough, nothing can be realized. Only imagination is lost.
how about it? Do you think that today's smart products meet your mind's need for smart hardware? As more and more smart devices invade life, what we have to do every day is to open the super remote control - mobile phones.
At that time, older users may miss the manual feeling, such as the old-style pull-type switch lights, compared to today's young people have not seen it.
Smart home is still only mechanical automation. There is still a long distance from the real intelligence. I didn't see that the app has the function of smart learning. Therefore, it is not possible to think of having telepathy with home appliances.
Imagination in the intelligent, or the best temperature in the home, or should be more simple, such as similar to foreign popular temperature controller Nest, only need to set a temperature, just fine. The device can also adjust the temperature according to your usual operating habits as it sees fit.
However, the huge cost of reconstruction is not in line with national conditions. In the current situation, such a simple device can replace the remote control, can also be remotely operated, and can also set up some automated procedures. It has been a great improvement.
