Smart home is a cliche. In order to do the best possible in daily life, it is undoubtedly a good choice to transform the room into a smart home recently. However, we have to admit that many smart home products are not really intelligent. Users often need to have a certain understanding of the products and even master some configuration skills, so that smart home products can play the greatest role at home, and then get the best smart home transformation effect at the best cost.
Recently, many netizens contacted Zhai Xiaomi and said that they had encountered some problems in decorating smart home rooms. One of the more common is that when the house decoration is barely completed, there are more smart home products. I don't know how to apply it, and some functions have not been fully realized.
In order to help these netizens solve some practical problems, Zhai Mi decided to give netizens a glimpse of what they need to know before buying smart home products through some experiences summarized in the process of smart home room configuration in this issue.
Note 1: Remember the product function.
The first thing, Zhai Xiaoxi's simple summary, is to remember the product function. Before deciding to carry out smart home renovation, we must first understand what functions smart home products on the market can achieve. Only by keeping in mind the functions of the products on the market at present can we carry out the next combination. Just like when you play League of Legends, you must understand the function and effect of each skill of the hero, so as to combine the skills more reasonably and finally form the most effective killing moves.
At present, there are many kinds of smart home products on the market, which can be divided into more than ten categories according to their types. To learn more about these categories and related products, Zhaimi recommends users to look at Zhaimi Smart Home Product Library. Zhai Mi has no talent, and all the common products on the market can be included. You can learn more product information more conveniently here.
The types of smart home products are already very rich.
Maybe speaking of which, you can I can't help asking, how can we remember so many kinds and quantities of products? Actually, you don't need me to remember it completely. What Zhai Xiaoxi wants to express is that when you decide to decorate your room, you should at least know what functions the basic smart home accessories can achieve and how to combine them to play a role. For example, the most basic sensor products to realize automation include human body sensor, door and window sensor, water immersion sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, etc. Then there are gateway products necessary to connect these sensors, and other products that can replace the gateway to achieve functions; There are also some power switches and the like. When you decide to intellectualize the room, you need to know and study these various multifunctional products in advance.
So how clear do we need to be? For example, you need to know how to install door and window sensors for different types of doors and windows; How to stick the temperature and humidity sensor closer to the real situation of the room; What kind of switch needs to be replaced with what version of intelligent switch; Which lamps need to be replaced directly, and which lamps only need to be replaced with smart bulbs; How to place the water immersion sensor; What kind of scene should the smart plug be used in? How to place the gateway? What's the difference between Bluetooth and Zigbee? Don, of course. If you feel bad, don't worry. It is too complicated. In the later knowledge class, the house secret meeting will help everyone to further understand the functions and characteristics of smart home products for each topic.
Note 2: Consider the realization of the function first.
Knowing the first thing, I believe you have begun to have your own ideas about what functions need to be realized in every place in the room that needs decoration. Of course, just having ideas is not enough. In this step, you should combine the actual situation of the room and start planning what accessories and equipment are used to realize the function according to the desired effect.
It must be mentioned here that there is no unique way to realize many functions. You can decide how to realize the automatic function according to the actual situation of the room. Different methods will directly affect the products you need and the placement of products. The secret of the house can be given a simple example first. For example, when House Secret was helping to renovate a room before, she found that the window of that room was made of metal and could be attracted by magnets. In this case, it is difficult for door and window sensors to play a role by using the principle of magnetic attraction. In this case, in order to realize the linkage of closing the air conditioner, air purifier and other equipment after opening the window, the house secret chose to replace the door and window sensors on this window with static and dynamic stickers, which successfully realized such simple automation.
In addition, in addition to this example, there are many ways to achieve the same effect with different equipment. When you are proficient, you will find it very interesting and fulfilling to transform a traditional room into an intelligent family room. This kind of fun is like building blocks when I was a child. Playing house is definitely better than when I was a child.
Note 3: Overall planning is very important.
When you consider the automation functions and equipment to be used in the room, the next thing is to systematically plan the layout of the room equipment. The difference between this scheme and before is that you need to make a systematic scheme according to the actual number of sockets and the placement of equipment in the room. For example, how many sensors need to be connected to each room, and the location of the sensors will directly affect where you decide to put the gateway.
Many gateway products can have nightlight function at the same time.
This overall system planning can not only make the layout of your smart home equipment more reasonable, but also allow you to adjust the intelligent functions realized in different locations reasonably according to the actual situation. Avoid in vain in the subsequent installation process. Now many sensors are not made of 3M glue, but traditional foam glue. Once this glue sticks to the wall, the direct result is that it is not easy to take it off. Or when it is removed, the wall will pay the corresponding price.
Therefore, the overall planning of the room is very necessary, which will directly affect the five points to be mentioned after the house prompt.
Note 4: The family center is a treasure.
After thinking about the intelligent functions to be realized and the installation scheme of the whole device, you need a home hub next. At present, in most cases, this hub will be a smart speaker, such as Xiaomi Xiao Ai speaker, Baidu small speaker, Apple HomePod speaker, Huawei S smart speaker and so on. And this hub mainly determines a question, which ecological accessories does 3354 need to buy?

So, here, the secret of the house will say that the family center is a treasure. At present, although many products can be connected across ecology under the call of ecological opening of smart home, according to the assembly experience of house secrets, after the products are connected across ecology, the overall experience cannot be compared with the interaction of similar products in the original ecology. At the same time, it will also lead to a problem, that is, you have to load multiple and multi-vendor smart home apps in your mobile phone, which is really a very cumbersome thing.
Therefore, it is very important to choose a family center that you like. Of course, this hub is sometimes not only a smart speaker, such as Tmall and Tmall Elf makeup mirrors, but also a home hub; Similarly, smart black products such as Huawei smart screen, glory smart screen and Xiaomi TV can also take on this important task. You can choose according to your own needs.
Besides, there is a long sentence here. For the choice of family center, if you just want to transform a room, you can actually use the family center. If you want to transform the whole room with multiple rooms, you should consider installing multiple family centers, and choose the family center products that are more suitable for this scene according to different scenarios.
Note 5: Buy as much as you can.
After doing the above four things, Zhai Xiaoxi believes that you can basically pull out a shopping list for smart home renovation. Here, Zhai Xiaomi's suggestion is that you can consider buying more parts for emergency, but for environmental protection, if there is no problem with the numbers on the list, buy them.
At present, most supporting products can be installed once and cannot be installed again. So, buy as much as you need. This will neither waste money nor waste money. In addition, many eco-sensor products will provide packaging. You can make a set meal according to the numbers on your shopping list, which can save the decoration cost.
Many brands have launched smart home sensor packages.
In addition, in addition to smart home infrastructure such as sensors, smart home appliances and small household appliances can also be repurchased at any time as needed, because these products are easier to use than smart home infrastructure products such as sensors, and can basically be plugged and played.
Note 6: Setting logic has unique skills.
After the product is bought, it can be installed according to the previous scheme. Most products are very easy to use, as long as you follow the paper instructions or APP tips when configuring. This part is actually difficult. Most sensor modifications do not require home decoration, and users can complete the installation without any external tools.
Of course, these smart home products can not realize the whole house intelligent experience after installation. Of course, you need to set the scene, mode and running state of household appliances and household products in the software. Most of these logics are built into the software, and all users need is to set their own causality. For example, when a user leaves a place, all home appliances will be turned off, when a user arrives at a place, all home appliances will be turned on, and so on. In short, you can set the overall intelligent logic according to your own needs.
However, here, Zhai Mi still wants to teach you some tips. For example, when Jamie first set the logic of position arrival and position departure, he did not clearly set the range of arrival and departure positions. As a result, the equipment was turned on as soon as it was turned off, which was embarrassing. Therefore, the Chamber of Secrets will set the departure range to be greater than the arrival range, so as to perfectly realize the operation of turning off all electrical appliances when leaving home and turning on all equipment when arriving home.
As long as there are enough smart home devices in your room, these logics are more likely to appear. The basic logic is causality, and some devices will perform certain operations under any circumstances. It is easy to understand and easy to use. This is not difficult for users who have already completed the above five steps.
Note: The more debugging, the more reliable it is.
Ensure that all the smart home products you want to configure can run in an orderly manner, and repeated debugging is an essential link, so that the smart home life you create will be more reliable. Don, I don't find this part boring. In contrast, it is a very necessary link, which can not only ensure the overall security of smart home, but also ensure that you can easily solve the problems in the use process.
If you really think that the process of repeated debugging is tedious, then S might as well consider simply debugging twice, and then debugging step by step in the process of daily life to improve the overall user experience of the room/house that needs to be renovated step by step.
Judging from the current transformation experience of House Secret, most smart home products are reliable with few problems. The overall configuration and debugging process is relatively simple.
Note 8: Simple home improvement is not done for nothing.
If you want to achieve a higher level of smart home experience, simple home improvement is essential. These simple home decorations will never be in vain, it will make your house more futuristic. For example, we often see coming home from work, opening the door, automatically closing the curtains and automatically turning on the lights in the room. There are several parts here that need to be decorated briefly.
First of all, the door lock on the gate needs to be replaced by a smart door lock. The part that needs home improvement mainly lies in the opening on the door and the cutting of the metal fittings of the door lock; In addition, the next step is to install the intelligent curtain machine, which requires drilling holes in the wall; There is also the replacement of ceiling lamps and light switches in each house, which requires a simple home improvement link. The secret to be reminded is that in this simple home improvement process, pay attention to pulling down the main switch of the electrical switch to avoid unnecessary safety accidents.
In short, when doing smart home decoration, adding appropriate home improvement links can greatly upgrade the overall smart experience of the house, and you will never regret it!
