We are no stranger to smart socket products. Whether it is the small K2 generation, which forms more user combinations through multiple plug-in extensions, or the small k1 generation, which uses power statistics remote control as a selling point, IVGPLUG smart socket products have become the battleground of intelligent hardware manufacturers. Smart socket products are also changing our lives. The human body sensor turns on the night light, making it more convenient for us at night. The infrared control plug-in lets us not look for the remote control everywhere. As long as the mobile phone clicks gently, all remote control functions can be realized, which greatly facilitates our daily life. Several smart socket products contacted by the author have relatively single functions or require more plug-ins to complete. However, due to interface reasons, sometimes they have to add devices or give up a function they like very much. Today, the author is lucky to experience this kitten intelligent housekeeper from Maoha Intelligent.

The outer package of the kitten intelligent housekeeper is made of green paper in white color. Compared with other products, which are generally printed, the brand of the kitten intelligent housekeeper and other information are displayed by means of stickers. This design will virtually increase the workload and cost of production. On the back of the product are some basic parameters and manufacturer information of the kitten intelligent steward. Similarly, in order to facilitate user operation, a QR code is provided on the back for users to download the APP corresponding to the product.

The overall package of the kitten intelligent housekeeper is relatively simple. Open the outer package, and the product is located in the customized package. In addition to the product host, a simple instruction manual is also provided. The kitten intelligent housekeeper has undergone coating treatment before leaving the factory, effectively ensuring the safety during transportation and preventing scratches.

The design of the kitten intelligent housekeeper is relatively cute. The socket is black and white, and it looks like a very cute cat from the top.

The top front of the product is the product logo of Moha Smart. Below the logo is the LED indicator of the product. The kitten intelligent housekeeper provides very rich indication functions through two LED indicators. As far as the author is concerned, there are so many LED indication states that the author cannot easily remember them. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the color of LED display for the first time. Of course, after setting, the LED indication states are relatively easy to remember under normal use.

The cat's two eyes are designed as light sensing and infrared sensing sensors, which can easily turn on the corresponding functions through the intensity of light. On the right is an infrared sensor, which is mainly used to control the night light or to judge whether someone enters the home when going out.

The kitten intelligent housekeeper adopts a standard five hole AC output hole with a deep hole design, which is mainly used to prevent children from misoperation However, as far as the author is concerned, he would prefer the manufacturer to provide a design with child locks.

A USB interface is reserved at the top of the socket. This interface can not only charge digital devices, but also has data communication functions, which can be achieved through access plug-ins.

The bottom of the socket is designed with the night light function, which can be turned on and off or controlled intelligently through the mobile phone APP settings. The author found this is a very practical function through practical experience.

The back of the product is the basic parameters of the product, including the USB interface parameters. From the USB parameters, the kitten smart housekeeper is slightly insufficient. The 1A current may not be a problem for mobile phone charging, but it is slightly smaller for PAD products. The AC output provides up to 10A current. The power supply input interface adopts standard low-power three hole input.

Because it provides WiFi expansion function, the kitten intelligent housekeeper provides a reusable key switch. In a short time, it is used to open or close the power supply of the socket, which saves the tedious plug plugging when the electrical appliances are powered off. Press and hold the button for 4 seconds to enter the switching network configuration mode. The network configuration mode of the kitten intelligent butler provides one button configuration and direct connection mode, which is convenient to set according to the user's own usage habits.

After the power supply is connected, the LED indicator on the top of the kitten intelligent housekeeper will give the corresponding working status. Because of its various statuses, they will not be described here. For details, please refer to the product manual.

Kitten Smart Housekeeper has many functions, which can be set through APP. In terms of APP use, we can easily see that Kitten Smart Housekeeper has many functions, and basically all the known functions of smart socket have been included. Since the WiFi connection mode is used and the kitten only supports 2.4G network, when configuring the connection for the first time, the mobile phone must be connected to the 2.4G network, that is, the mobile phone and the kitten must be connected in the same WiFi environment.

The author likes the app design of Kitten Smart Housekeeper very much. The homepage looks very simple, and at the same time, it shows all the functions in a comprehensive way, so that you can see the corresponding parameters and implement the relevant operations intuitively. The socket can be closed and opened, that is, when you do not want to use it, you can close the socket to save power. At the same time, it provides the function of operating the socket by timing and delaying tasks.

For a smart socket product, we are looking forward to being able to check the overall power of the devices running on it at any time. The author has made relevant experience with the heater at home, and the power statistics are very accurate in fact. The statistics of electricity consumption is also very detailed. The detailed statistics of monthly and daily electricity consumption can clearly view your own peak electricity consumption.

The most favorite function of the author is the night light function of the kitten intelligent housekeeper. Of course, this function needs to be realized in linkage, because what the author likes is the way of the intelligent night light, which is always on and affects sleep and wastes electricity. Through environmental sensors and human body sensors, the night light can be turned on at night and when walking, which is very convenient, It is more suitable for people who have the habit of getting up at night.

At present, infrared learning is also the pursuit of many intelligent manufacturers. For example, the RM series of Broadlink can realize the infrared remote control function, and the kitten intelligent housekeeper also provides this function, which can easily realize the learning function for the home TV, TV box, air conditioner and other infrared remote control devices. Another very practical function of the kitten intelligent housekeeper is the WiFi relay signal amplification function, which can easily expand the signal of the wireless router located in the study to the living room or other locations for users to use. Similarly, in order to facilitate users' use, the kitten intelligent housekeeper provides visitors with exclusive WiFi function, which is very considerate, After it is opened, users will be able to search and connect within 2 minutes, and it will be automatically hidden after 2 minutes. It is very convenient for visitors to use WiFi. After all, WiFi passwords are also our privacy, so it is not always effective to protect personal privacy by using the way of visitors' exclusive access to the Internet.

As mentioned above, the relay function can provide very convenient wireless AP function after the relay signal. In particular, the kitten intelligent steward provides the advertising shielding function. According to the author's actual test, for commonly used video websites such as Youku, Tencent Video, etc., the advertising shielding function can be perfectly realized without advertising waiting time, The user's video experience effect has been directly upgraded to a higher level.

The most annoying thing is the advertisements on the web page, especially various software download websites, which are full of advertisements. The download links are even surrounded by various advertisements. Although some browsers provide advertising blocking plug-ins, some of them have ordinary effects, and for beginners, they don't even know how to install plug-ins, Now, the kitten intelligent housekeeper makes this simple. Open a download page at random and use the original router to access the Internet. You can see that the game ads on the right side of the page are very annoying, and some of them are too loud. If you don't pay attention, you will be surprised. After connecting to the WiFi of the kitten intelligent housekeeper, it is very easy to block web advertisements. No user needs to do anything. When you open the web page, you will find it very refreshing.

For us, video has become an indispensable part of our daily life. However, the longer and longer commercials at the beginning of the video or during the playing process have seriously affected our experience. The author has also experienced some video advertising blocking plug-ins. Of course, some are easier to use, and some are even difficult to use, However, it still takes a long time to load. The advertising shielding effect of kitten smart butler is quite powerful. The author has actually experienced mainstream video broadcast websites including Youku Video, Tencent Video, etc., which can perfectly shield the annoying ads at the beginning, directly enter the broadcast process, and make the movie watching experience better.

Kitten Smart Housekeeper has rich editing task functions, which are also very practical. You can choose to turn off or turn on the socket according to your family's schedule, control your smart home products, and have a very convenient DIY function. In terms of control, in order to make it convenient for users to use, the kitten intelligent steward provides voice control function. In terms of voice control convenience, it provides three ways of Mandarin, Cantonese and Henan dialect, covering the whole country, the south and the north. Of course, because China has a vast territory and abundant resources, and there are countless local languages, it is recommended to use Mandarin for operation, The recognition rate is relatively high, but when the author carries some words with hometown accent, sometimes the recognition is not accurate, but based on the relatively simple voice manipulation, it is generally not difficult to achieve the corresponding functions. Of course, if possible, it is suggested that the kitten intelligent steward consider cooperating with iFLYTEK. After all, the author found that the recognition rate of iFLYTEK is very high and relatively mature.

At present, most of our home monitoring is through webcams. Now the kitten intelligent housekeeper has given us a new choice. By inserting a camera, we can realize the function of online monitoring. The camera of the author needs a high working current, so it is usually used on computers, and the power supply is often insufficient when using the USB2.0 interface. However, thanks to the 1A current output of the kitten intelligent housekeeper, the author found that there is no problem in the actual use, so that the waste camera heads in the home can also realize waste utilization.

The camera monitoring of the kitten intelligent housekeeper can be set smoothly, with standard definition, high-definition and other signal sources, and can also achieve the photographing function. However, it is a pity that because there is no corresponding memory card interface, it cannot be saved locally. At present, the manufacturer does not provide cloud storage, so it can only be used for real-time monitoring. Of course, if you go out, you can use the human body sensor to realize the photo reminder function. If you go out, it is very good for preventing and controlling thieves, and will be automatically sent to the mailbox set by the user. The author's actual experience shows that this function is very sensitive and can completely meet the needs of ordinary family monitoring.

For daily use, you can view the help files through the APP, and of course, you can also upgrade the kitten firmware and software. You can also have a glance at the equipment control mode, equipment information viewing, etc.

For the relay function of kitten intelligent butler, the author measured its signal strength through WiFi analyzer and placed it on the same desk with the router. Through actual measurement, its signal strength is still very good, which is only slightly worse than that of the router.

We often pay more attention to the router signals in multiple rooms. In the same room, with one wall and two walls separated, we experience the signals of the router and the kitten intelligent housekeeper respectively. It is found from the actual measurement that the emission strength of the kitten intelligent housekeeper is comparable to the signal strength of the internal beta version of the magic bean router. This router has also been used to compare the signal strength for many times in the author's previous experience articles. The wall piercing effect is a relatively good router, so it can be seen that the kitten intelligent housekeeper has made great efforts in the signal strength of the wireless relay.

Summary

In addition to the remote control of the smart socket and the power statistics function, the kitten smart housekeeper also provides the infrared remote control function, which can easily realize the remote control of household appliances. At the same time, through the combination of the human body sensor and the light sensor, it can realize a variety of practical functions, including night lights, video monitoring, and combined with the voice control of APP, It is very convenient to control intelligent devices and home appliances. It has WiFi wireless relay function to expand wireless signals. If the kitten intelligent steward considers adding storage function, its video monitoring function will be further enhanced, and we have reason to have higher expectations for this product.
