Xiaomi smart home package has attracted wide attention since its release, and has set off a boom in the smart home market. Although there are many smart home products on the market now, few have a complete set of solutions. It is rare that Xiaomi can build a complete ecological chain of the whole set of smart home products. Xiaomi's latest upgraded smart home package, It has also attracted a lot of attention, so how about this high-profile smart home product and whether it can lead the trend of smart home in the future, let's see my new experience of smart home life.

Simple and exquisite packaging

Adhering to the consistent high-quality route of Xiaomi series products, Xiaomi Smart Home Package is superior in terms of packaging design and product equipment. Its stylized, simple and environmentally friendly packaging has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, becoming a symbolic feature and loved by rice noodles.

For the upgraded version of smart home package, the specific upgrade cannot be seen from the outer package, but the product in this public test has an additional X-BULB smart bulb

Smart home suit packaging box, environment-friendly paper packaging, without too much external design, simple and grand, only Mi logo quietly shows that this is a product made by Xiaomi

Open the lid of the packaging box, and a very interesting introduction board will appear in front of you. Through the cartoon demonstration of Mi Tu, users will have a general understanding of the purpose of the product

The back of the packaging box is also a product identification sticker with the same symbolic style as before, including product parameters and production information, and there is no too much introduction

Open the introduction board, and the full set of smart home suits will be presented perfectly. The products include smart home wireless gateway, body sensor, door and window sensor and wireless switch

Take out the introduction board. In fact, it comes with an accessory package, including the introduction manual, key pin and adhesive sticker

Now let's take a look at the X-BULB smart bulb configured in this smart package. How is this bulb different from the Yeelight under the same Xiaomi Ecological Chain

From the introduction and parameters outside the box, it can be seen that this bulb does not have the color light effect, but it can also adjust the light brightness. Moreover, the 8W brightness is also the fastest in the market for most smart bulb lamps. Daily use is suitable for larger spaces and occasions

All products in this public test are family photos, a very beautiful set of products

Perfect presentation of details

A good product is also impeccable in terms of details. Xiaomi's smart home suit is very good in terms of details. With its pure white appearance and simple and compact shape, each piece is a handicraft. Let's enjoy it together

Installation is not complicated

Although there are so many products in a whole set, Bug was a little confused when he first saw them. How to install so many things? It's not complicated to use them. Just choose the right location and install them according to the instructions. There is no threshold to easily install smart home devices. Bug will demonstrate each device below.

The multi-functional gateway only needs to be directly plugged into the standard 3-hole socket. It should be noted that this multi-functional gateway is equipped with colorful lights and voice speakers, so it is also important to select a suitable location

Door and window sensors are smart door magnets. From the appearance alone, Xiaomi's smart door magnets are much smaller than traditional door magnets and more typical smart door magnets in appearance, which is more convenient for installation and hiding to the required location. Of course, the functions and designs of various products are different, and the comparison is only relative. For example, Dingling smart door magnets are a product that can be used independently, Xiaomi's door magnet needs to be used together with the multi-functional gateway

The body sensor is also small and simple, and can be placed in a more concealed position

The wireless switch is actually a shortcut key. After setting the function, you can click and double click to execute the device action under the gateway, which is similar to the meter key used by mobile phones

The X-BULB smart bulb, with a power of 8W, is suitable for a larger space range. It is installed in the aisle or toilet, and can be used together with the smart home kit for a variety of smart scenes

Super powerful application functions

The application of Xiaomi smart home must be used by many rice noodle friends. Its powerful intelligent control function depends more on the intelligent design of the product itself. For example, the smart home suit contains more sensors, which can enable the smart products at home to have more powerful interactive scene modes. Its APP has built-in very rich scene modes for users to choose directly, It's very convenient. Of course, for friends with strong logical thinking, you can also edit the scene mode that is more suitable for you.

Insert the multi-functional gateway into the socket, open the Xiaomi smart home application, click the "+" in the upper right corner, you can see that the APP has found the smart home package, click it, and then follow the steps to connect successfully soon

When entering the app for the first time, depending on the firmware version of the smart home package, it may need to be updated. After completion, you can see that the package has been added to the device list in the smart home app. Click to enter the main interface of the package app. There are four main device blocks and three shortcut buttons below, which are relatively simple

Enter the settings of the multi-function network management system, select to add a device, and press the reset hole with the thimble to pair according to the prompt page. However, the matching of the smart bulb is slightly different. It can be connected soon after power on, and the page link of the smart bulb is located in the device page of the smart home app, not in the application interface of the package

The smart home kit in this trial has been paired. After inserting the multi-functional gateway, it has been successfully connected. There is no need to pair again. However, friends who purchase other devices in the future can use the above method to pair

The multi-functional gateway belongs to the central system of the smart home package, and its functions include various settings and adding sub devices. The pages of other sensors mainly include sensor logs, My Scene and Recommended Scene. You can check the time of sensor action by clicking the log. The interface of the smart light bulb is the photometric adjustment and switch button, which is simple and clear

There are many detailed settings of multi-functional gateway, but each one is targeted. If you want to turn on a certain function, you'd better first enter the corresponding setting item to find out the corresponding setting effect. For example, the alert setting, you should make sure that the alert set by yourself is activated by the door and window sensor, the human body sensor or the wireless switch, and in which time period, After activation, what is the ringing tone and volume of the alarm bell? These settings are set according to personal conditions

Great practical experience

Xiaomi's smart home package is a sub product of Xiaomi's smart home under the ecological chain. It is a relatively mature package device. All functions can operate stably and normally. There are few problems, but the flexibility of use is also great. The more smart devices, the richer the scenarios that can be set, and the more obvious the intelligent effect. Of course, if you want to play, you must think first, However, as a lazy person, the built-in scene mode of the smart home is enough for you to enjoy yourself. Xiaomi can be so headstrong. Here are some examples of applications.

① One key switch alert mode. First, set the sensor selection and start time, as well as the ringing tone and volume of the alarm bell in the alert setting, enter the wireless switch page, click Add Profile, and the start scenario is set as: Step 1 (condition) wireless switch button twice, Step 2 (result) execute the smart home suit alert mode to start, and the smart socket 220V switch is turned on, Because the bug does not have an ant camera, it is impossible to add ants to the task. It can only turn on another smart camera through the smart socket. It is a little troublesome to check. After going home, turn off the alert mode by pressing the wireless switch. However, I think it is better for the smart home app to detect the incoming route of the owner's mobile phone, The alert mode can be automatically turned off.

② Turn on camera monitoring mode intelligently. Open the human body sensor page, add a scene, select the sensor that someone passes by, and then open the smart socket. This is a more advanced setting for going out monitoring. Open the smart socket when the human body sensor detects human activity, so as to open the camera. Of course, it can also be set that the opening of the door and window sensor is an action. Here is just a demonstration. How to set it specifically, How to play depends on your needs.

③ Human body sensing night light mode. Open the human body sensor page and add a profile if someone passes by, and the time period is from 22:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. It would be even better if you could add a light sensor trigger condition. After meeting the conditions, turn on the smart light bulb in the aisle. This function is more practical, which saves energy, and does not need to find the switch in the dark. Smart life starts from every drop.

In addition to the several models demonstrated above, there are actually too many usages. Bugs can't list them one by one. Basically, as long as you can think of it, Xiaomi Smart Home can help you achieve it. From the perspective of actual use, the product has high stability and few problems. If you want to say what's wrong with this product, I think you can also add temperature, humidity, light sense Flue gas, water immersion PM2.5、 More sensors, such as formaldehyde and TVOS, and as a multi-functional gateway using Zigbee wireless connection technology, also hope to open access rights to more intelligent products of other brands. In addition, the interface of APP can also be properly optimized, which can be designed and developed around the multi-functional intelligent network management, the central system of intelligent home.

epilogue

As a smart home product under the Xiaomi ecological chain, the Xiaomi smart home package perfectly matches many smart products released by Xiaomi before. The actual trial experience this time is very good. The sensor is sensitive and the smart bulb is precisely controlled. As the hub of the multi-functional gateway, Zigbee wireless connection technology is used, which is safe and stable, and has strong subsequent expansion ability, On the whole, this is a relatively mature product. If you have enough smart products in your home, this smart home package can make your life more intelligent. How can you not have this product in pursuit of the ultimate smart life.
