It is one of the hottest topics in recent years TV, small to The doorbell is all there Smart home products are quietly changing our lives. Recently, I had the honor to experience a model launched by Maoha Network Technology Co., Ltd In addition to the function of traditional intelligent socket fixed/delayed socket, it also has remote control appliances, intelligent human body induction Relay, ad filtering and other functions can share your feelings after using them for a period of time.

The shape design of this smart socket is very cute. It is a kitten shape, which makes me feel very cute at first glance. The socket shell is made of V0 grade safe flame-retardant PC material, and the surface is painted with paint, which feels good. However, the size of this socket is still a little too large. I don't know whether it is because of too many functions.

The socket cleverly designs the sensor in the kitten's two eyes: the left eye is a light sensor, and the right eye is a human sensor. This design combines functionality and aesthetics, which is a good design.

The bottom is a single-phase two hole and three hole plug. The actual test damping is relatively large, and it needs to be inserted and pulled hard. It is intentional that the two hole connector adopts the snap design, and the plug can be automatically locked after being inserted and will not fall out easily. However, it is a pity that there is no safety protection measures for this socket, and those with bear children at home should be careful.

There is a multi-function button on the side of the socket. Short press can realize the switch control function, and long press for 4 seconds can realize the factory reset and other functions.

There is a USB interface at the top of the socket to expand the function, which can provide 5V/1A output. Now, 5V/1A output is not enough. If it can reach or exceed 5V/2A output, it will be more practical. It would be too low if you, like me, regard the main function of the USB interface as charging. In fact, the main function of the USB interface is to support various expansion plug-ins, such as RF plug-in, sensor plug-in, temperature and humidity plug-in, gas detection plug-in, etc., to expand the availability of the entire socket.

In fact, the kitten smart socket is not particularly thick, but because of its large size, it gives a heavy feeling. Whether it is connected with ordinary socket or Compared with small boxes, they all seem a little bigger. It would be better if the volume could be controlled a little more.

To realize various intelligent functions, you need to download the corresponding app according to the instructions. The specific download and installation process will not be repeated. The first impression of the entire app is not too comfortable, and the overall color matching of the UI is too elegant. This smart socket has many functions, such as timing switch, remote control home appliances, WiFi relay amplification, advertisement shielding, remote video monitoring, intelligent human body sensing, intelligent night light, voice control, intelligent linkage, etc. I will just introduce a few of my commonly used functions here.

Before introducing the functions, I would like to remind you that the WiFi name of this socket does not support Chinese for the time being. After several days of trouble, it has not been connected. At first, I thought it was a problem with the product itself, but later I found it was a problem with the WiFi name. Let's pay attention to the friends who got it.

1. Remote control center

This socket can realize the function of home control center and control the , TV and other household appliances. According to my actual experience during this period, this It has good support for the mainstream brands of household appliances on the market.

2. WiFi trunk amplification

The kitten smart socket also has the WiFi relay amplification function, which is really very practical. In the past, the signal strength of WiFi in the bedroom is not ideal. The card that will be compared when watching online videos can only simply browse the web. Now I have placed the kitten smart socket in the bedroom, and the whole WiFi signal strength has been significantly improved, so it is no problem to watch online videos.

In the actual test, five points were selected in the room to compare the network speed: in the past, when the kitten smart socket was not used for relaying, E and F had some problems watching online video. After using the relay, E and F could ensure that the video was basically smooth, and the use experience was improved significantly.

3. Block advertising function

The shielding advertising function of the kitten smart socket is very magical After devices such as tablets are connected to the WiFi of the kitten smart housekeeper, you can block advertisements including web advertisements and online videos. This function can be said to be a killer for heavy video users, and no longer need to watch lengthy and annoying advertisements.

Actually tested LeEco, Youku 、 Such clients can effectively shield the advertisements of these video clients. However, I am worried that this function may be blocked by major video websites with the increase of users, and this function is also morally questionable, although it is really practical.

In addition to the functions described above, the kitten smart socket can also be matched It can automatically take pictures, automatically turn on the night light when the brightness is not high, etc The space is very much, interested friends can give it a try after they get it.

With regard to the use experience during this period, kitten It is a product with rich functions and is easy to use, especially the remote control center, WiFi relay amplification, shielding advertising and other functions are really very practical. If you can control the volume a little smaller, it will be easier to use. For those who want to try , or intend to buy Relay amplifier friends are very practical.
