[Preface]

In recent years, the development of intelligent hardware is changing with each passing day, and a wide range of products are also available. Wifi modules have been added to sockets, plugins, environmental monitoring equipment, and security equipment to form the Internet of Things, which indeed brings users a lot of convenience and superior experience. However, the problems that follow are also gradually highlighted, perhaps to reduce costs or improve experience, The control terminals of these intelligent devices are set on the intelligent mobile platform that is fully integrated into our work and life, and similar products from different manufacturers need different app support, which leads to these intelligent hardware, although it brings us convenience in space, it brings trouble in time and choice, and is full of security risks, such as the loss or theft of users' mobile phones, Everything in his home may be under the control of the other party. If he is lucky enough to set the login password, the user needs to reinstall the app on the mobile phone and re pair it with various smart hardware. How troublesome!

Today, I have the honor to experience a product with completely different design ideas. First, regardless of its workmanship and materials, regardless of its appearance and connotation, just attaching the control end to the WeChat app with high penetration and usage today is commendable. At this stage, when various intelligent hardware manufacturers have seized market share, they are far away and focused on user experience, Let's take a look at the actual experience?

[Unpacking]

The package of Atsmart smart micro plug is about 330mmx145mmx55mm, which is not large among similar products. However, the package design is rare and simple. One logo on the front saves even the name of the product. On the side is a two-dimensional code, model, and a plane pattern of the socket control panel.

The reverse side is printed with product introduction, parameters and simple instructions.

The attachment is also extremely simple, a detailed operating instructions and an after-sales service card. Unlike traditional products, the after-sales service card has no complicated user information to fill in, but only an after-sales process notification card. After sales are handled by online product agents.

[Hardware] Good appearance, good workmanship and materials, reasonable structure

The main body of the Atsmart smart micro plug is composed of ABS plastic parts, and its flame retardancy reaches the v-0 level. The front is a black acrylic panel. From left to right, there are four capacitive touch plug switches, a 1-inch OLED LCD screen, and a capacitive touch button with the wifi logo.

The back of the Atsmart smart micro plug is equipped with four standard sockets compatible with two eyes and three eyes, and two USB charging interfaces. The USB interface output is 5V/3A, and the charging efficiency is very high.

A gap of 1cm is designed between the sockets of Atsmart smart micro plug, and the actual eye to eye distance is 1.6cm, which can easily deal with most national standard plugs.

In actual use, the distance between sockets is also very wide, as long as it is not a line of large transformers, it basically does not affect each other.

The Atsmart smart micro plug has a good "footwork". No matter how hard and thick the plug cable is, the Atsmart smart micro plug has no warping phenomenon. With the anti slip damping strip set at the bottom, it is almost as stable as Mount Tai, and there will be no slippage when plugging.

[Software] Convenient pairing, simple operation and complete functions

<Control end>

The matching method of Atsmart smart micro plug is very simple. Because it is attached to the WeChat app with a high installation rate, it saves the step of downloading the app and gives users a different experience.

The setting function of Atsmart smart micro plug is also very comprehensive. It can remotely open the child mode to prevent children from misoperating the plug. It can customize the plug rank, socket name, make plans and tasks, manage paired users, and view the activation and matching information of the plug.

<socket end>

Since Atsmart smart micro plug has a 1-inch OLED LCD screen, it can not only display the time, but also display the functional status of the micro plug in real time. However, after many tests, the fourth icon cannot be activated, and it is unknown whether it exists.  

The OLED LCD screen can also activate the setting menu by long pressing the function key of the wifi logo. The menu mode can be selected and confirmed through five touch buttons. However, it is recommended that users with complex wifi passwords should still set wifi pairing through the mobile phone.

[Experience] The operation is sensitive, sour and refreshing, and the details can be further improved

        In several days of experience, the Atsmart smart micro plug gives me a different operating experience, because the capacitive touch button is very sensitive. As long as a finger gently scratches the panel, the socket can respond immediately. When the WeChat terminal is remotely controlled, the response speed is also very fast, without delay, and there will be no chrysanthemum phenomenon in the operation of independent apps, However, there are also some aspects that need to be improved in the Atsmart smart micro plug:

1) The public account name of the Atsmart smart micro plug is the micro socket, with the initial letter of "W". At the end, you have to turn the page every time you look for her. Why not change it to "Atsmart micro socket, with the initial letter of" A ", so that it can be ranked first and easy to find.

2) The planning task of the Atsmart smart micro plug does not support user-defined names or secondary changes. For people whose daily routine is not very regular, they need to increase or decrease the settings frequently.

We hope that Atsmart smart micro plug can deepen cooperation with WeChat, and let WeChat launch some functions to increase the use experience of Atsmart smart micro plug, such as setting the public account on the top, so that users can control operations at the first time.

[Conclusion] The appearance is striking, the connotation is amazing, and the future is promising

In general, no matter in terms of hardware workmanship, structural appearance, or control operation experience, Atsmart The use experience of smart micro plug is far superior to the existing similar products. Those smart hardware manufacturers who draw a circle have launched unique apps, hoping to occupy a third part of the smart home market. However, it is because of their apps that a large number of users use smart hardware as fool hardware, so a large number of manufacturers end up drawing a line, A dismal ending; Attaching to other apps with high penetration rate and installation rate is the general direction of intelligent hardware development after all, and Atsmart smart micro plug is a pioneer among them, and also a wise person in the smart home industry. I believe that she will have a brilliant day.
