preface

With the progress of the times, household appliances have also entered the era of intelligence. Xiaomi is the largest manufacturer of household intelligence at present. From routing to television to air purifier, all kinds of smart appliances are coming into our lives step by step. Do you have to spend a lot of money to buy smart home appliances in order to realize smart home appliances? No! Today, let's take a look at a product that can turn home appliances into smart appliances -- (Maoha) Kitten Smart Housekeeper.

Appearance

At the first sight, I was overwhelmed by this guy's appearance. It looks like a cute kitten. She has big round eyes and a few long whiskers. The more she looks, the more she likes it. The product is made of V0 grade safety flame-retardant PC material.

The front of the product is designed with a five hole socket. In this way, the appliance can not be used because the kitten occupies the three eye socket, and the power supply of the control appliance can also be supplied through the kitten socket. The kitten's two big eyes are two sensors. Its right eye is a light sensor, which can sense the current ambient brightness, while its left eye is an infrared sensor, which can sense whether there is movement in the current infrared range.

There is a standard USB interface on the top for multi-functional plug-in expansion. The expandable equipment is not only the camera, but also the temperature, humidity, air detection and other expandable equipment.

The bottom of the machine is equipped with three LED night lights, which can be set through the APP so that you can no longer be afraid to find the switch in the dark at night. As for how to set it. Don't worry about how to operate. Look down slowly.

On the right side of the kitten, there is a unique physical button, which integrates the socket power switch and the function of initializing the network.

The power input of the kitten is a three-phase plug, which can ensure the safety of electricity and the stability of the equipment on the wall socket.

Don't look at this cute guy and think he is just cute. In fact, his functions are also very powerful. There are more than a dozen super functions that will definitely open your eyes.

Function

In addition to the basic timing function, it can also remote control household appliances, wireless relay, block advertising, remote video monitoring, intelligent night lights, intelligent linkage, etc.

After entering the APP and adding a device, you can set the network with one click. Here are some points to mention. The network configured through APP is the network connected to your mobile phone, that is, the kitten will connect to the corresponding wireless hotspot when your mobile phone is connected to the wireless hotspot. Since kittens do not support 5G network temporarily, it is necessary to ensure that the mobile terminal is connected to 2.4G network.

The connection is completed and the formal experience is started.

The main page of APP is very simple. The three main functions and ten small functions can be seen at a glance, but the layout of the APP is a bit standard, which doesn't match the cute style of this cute product.

For the sake of safety, the socket is powered off by default after power on. This can be set through the control of the socket. Of course, there are many other functions that can be set in the socket control, such as timed tasks, delayed tasks, real-time power, electricity statistics, etc. I will not introduce them one by one. Let me learn about them through the following group of pictures.

The human body can sense the objects passing in front of the kitten, and the sensing distance can be up to about five meters. As long as someone passes, they will record.

The brightness here refers to the perceived brightness of the environment. This brightness works in conjunction with the small night lights behind. The brightness is divided into 7 levels from low to high, and from 0 to 6 levels.

Intelligent night light: when the light level is 0, the light will be on when an object passes by. Of course, it can also be set to be permanent. When the intelligent night light is triggered, it will turn off automatically if no object passes by three minutes after it lights up.

Infrared remote control: The following is the remote control function of several major household appliances. Through them, you can realize remote control of household appliances and make them instantly intelligent. The learning function of keys is very powerful, but it is better to aim the remote control at the kitten when learning. Of course, there are only three basic devices displayed on the panel. We can also add multiple devices by customization, and we can find less commonly used fans among the devices that can be supported by the settings.

Advertising blocking: As long as your computer or mobile phone accesses the Internet through the kitten's wireless connection, most of the video title ads will be blocked. No longer need to be depressed about the one minute advertisement.

Actual effect of advertisement shielding:

The first connection is the wireless routing. At the beginning of the movie, there are tens of seconds of advertisements. Then, we connect to the wireless kitten. Here, we must first open the browser to confirm the connection. After confirmation, let's have a look. There is no advertisement in this broadcast. After many tests, advertisements of mainstream video apps such as Youku, Tudou, Baidu, Tencent can be filtered.

USB expansion function: just use a drive free USB camera. Plug in the USB port on the top of the kitten butler and it can be used immediately. At the same time, a picture will be displayed on the phone, but the picture is a bit stuck.

Intelligent control function: you can control the socket or night light according to the three existing conditions. However, from the perspective of practicality, the biggest function advantage of intelligent control is to open the socket through temperature, humidity, etc. through USB expansion, and then open the air conditioner and other equipment through remote control.

Voice control: In terms of human-computer interaction, kittens even provide voice control. Although they do not provide voice services like Siri and Cortana assistants, kittens are fully competent in basic command commands, and even provide Mandarin, Cantonese and Henan dialect in terms of language support.

Purchase suggestions

Smart home is the only way for the next scientific and technological development, and it is also a must for major manufacturers and hardware entrepreneurs. But at present, most hardware entrepreneurs, even some large manufacturers, have fallen into a mistake: adding smart labels to every product, but no intelligent manager to "lead" the equipment, which makes people assume the role of steward, So that users can fall into greater constraints.

The kitten smart housekeeper is seeking a way out from the misunderstanding of these manufacturers. It assumes the role of housekeeper through the high integration of functions, and even suppresses the selling price within 100 yuan, accurately hitting the pain point of the current smart home.

If you live or will live in a smart home environment, kitten smart housekeeper is a good choice.
