Like the current popular digital products, the kitty smart butler's packaging is clean, tidy and graceful. After receiving the trial product sent by Lei Feng.com, I first looked at the overall design. The upper part has USB interface, the lower part is LED night light, there is a switch button on the right, a body sensor in the middle, and a light sensor. The overall design is simple and has strong scalability. It can integrate so many functions into a 10cm long, 5.5cm wide and 3cm thick fuselage. It can be seen that the manufacturer has made great efforts in the industrial design of hardware.

Then I plugged the smart butler into the socket on the refrigerator at the door, downloaded and installed the Maoha smart app, studied the product function summary of the quick start guide, opened the app, started to access the home wifi, and then upgraded the firmware (the manufacturer's after-sales technical support was good):

1、 Mobile phone remote control household appliances

In the main menu, select Add Remote Control, and you can see that the devices you can control include TV, set-top box, air conditioner, audio, fan, millet box, and custom functions. Seeing this function, I immediately remembered that the Xiaomi universal remote control, which costs 79 yuan, uses infrared learning and emission functions. The Xiaomi remote control has some functions, as does the kitten intelligent housekeeper!

Suitable scene: living room, bedroom, etc

2、 Timing automatic socket

The socket can be set with multiple groups of periodic cycle timing switches and delay switches, and the socket switch can be remotely controlled through the mobile phone. Seeing this function, I immediately remembered the Xiaomi smart socket (now out of production), which costs 68 yuan, and the Xiaomi smart patch board, which costs 49 yuan. Although they have never been used, I think the basic functions of the smart socket are just like this! It not only has the control of manual real-time switch socket power supply, but also has the function of viewing real-time power and electricity statistics, which is sufficient to meet the user's needs for remote intelligent control of the socket.

For example, if I get up at 7:00 every morning and need to drink boiled water, I can set the socket to open at 7:00 in the morning before going to bed, then connect the kettle and turn on the kettle switch, so that the next morning when I wake up, there will be hot boiled water to drink, and life will suddenly become better!

Applicable scenario: all places where you want to control the power consumption of the socket

3、 Electricity statistics/safe use of electricity

It has power statistics and real-time power viewing functions. Automatic power-off protection against excessive current when using electrical appliances to prevent accidents.

Applicable scenario: places that need electricity all the time, such as refrigerators

4、 WiFi trunk amplification enhancement

The built-in 300M wireless relay can relay and amplify the WiFi signal in the home, expand the coverage, and make the network smooth without dead corners. Seeing this function, I immediately remembered the Xiaomi WiFi amplifier, which costs 39 yuan. For example, my bedroom is far away from the hot spot. There was only one signal strength in the bedroom. After the wireless signal was relayed by the kitten, the signal was full. But in the actual test, it was found that the signal attenuation of the relay was relatively serious after passing through the wall. I hope that the kitten smart socket can launch an effective solution in the future.

Applicable scenario: a place far away from WiFi hotspots and frequently surfing the Internet

5、 Exclusive WiFi for visitors

It has two sets of WiFi hotspots, supports the visitor mode, and can open friends' exclusive WiFi with one button. The passwords can be set separately, so that the password can be disclosed from now on.

Applicable scenario: temporary visitor light

6、 Advertising shielding

Through the relay of kitten intelligent housekeeper WiFi Hotspot Internet access can block most web ads and video ads at present. For example, my wife likes to chase dramas with an iPad in her bed. After this function is enabled, LeTV, Youku 、 When the client's ads are blocked! Because such a practical function won my wife's praise, I have more sense of achievement because of the kitten, and I should thank the kitten more, ha ha.

7、 Intelligent human body sensing

Equipment sensing range（ four point five Meters), the device will automatically record and automatically notify the user's mobile phone. Seeing this function, I immediately remembered the price forty-nine Xiaomi human body sensor (intelligent detection of human or pet movement, which needs to be used with the multi-functional gateway in Xiaomi smart home kit), the detection distance of Xiaomi human body sensor is seven M, detection range is one hundred and seventy Degrees. In actual use, I feel that the detection range of the kitten is at least greater than one hundred and twenty Degrees. Both work on the principle of thermal induction. Suggest future app In the iteration, if there are human induced switching actions in the execution of intelligent control tasks, and push reminders can be turned off at rest, it will be more satisfying for everyone's daily use.

Applicable scene: at home, with camera plug-in

8、 Intelligent night light

LED The night light will automatically turn on or off as the light changes. At the same time, it supports the intelligent mode that people come to light up and people go out at night. Seeing this function, I immediately remembered the price one hundred and ninety-nine The multi-functional gateway in the Xiaomi smart home package of Yuan Dynasty can achieve the same function when used together with the Xiaomi human body sensor. In actual use, the switch off of the intelligent night light and the switch off of the automatic night light is a "logical OR" relationship. In view of the fact that the use of the bathroom will not be affected if the light is not turned on in the daytime, I also use the intelligent control task together. Even if the conditions for turning on the intelligent night light are met in the daytime, it will also be turned off to save energy and environmental protection.

Applicable scene: rooms or time periods that only need weak brightness and insufficient light.

9、 Remote video monitoring

adopt USB After the camera is connected to the interface, the mobile phone can remotely view the status of the home in real time. If there is a burglar outside the home, within the sensing range, it can automatically take a picture and push it to the user's mobile phone. (Compatible with the market 90% Of USB Drive free camera) can set the current picture quality and frame rate, can take pictures, and can also set the email reminder function after setting the email address. Seeing this function, I immediately remembered the price one hundred and forty-nine Yuan's Xiaoyi intelligent camera (a product of Xiaomi's company). In actual use, I put the kitten on the refrigerator opposite the door of my home, and passed the USB It is connected to a drive free camera and also used with the intelligent human body sensing function. Mobile phone and kitten smart housekeeper are in the same place WiFi In the environment, you can also watch real-time video smoothly, but when you arrive at the company, you can use different WiFi perhaps 4G/3G On the Internet, the video is very stuck, which indicates that there is still a lot of room for kittens to improve in the clarity and smoothness of video streams.

Applicable scene: at the door of the room, within the range of activities of the elderly, children and pets who need to be looked after

10、 Intelligent control linkage

Timing can be set / brightness / Someone passed by /* temperature */* Humidity and other conditions are met, and the equipment can independently and automatically execute the switch / Remote control and other actions. （ * Some functions need to be implemented with plug-ins * ）。 In actual use, I feel that this function is the most exciting black technology. Many functions have yet to be realized. Even Xiaomi has no formed product for motion control under temperature and humidity conditions. Since it is a "blue ocean" of black technology, it is more inspiring for the scientific workers of Moha. I hope they can constantly bring us new and greater surprises!

Applicable scenario: You can develop and use it freely if you like brainstorming

11、 Voice control

On the phone app It only needs simple voice commands to control equipment and appliances. In actual use, I think this is also a very interesting function. The multi-functional gateway in Xiaomi Smart Home Suite only realizes voice output, but not voice input, but the kitten has done it. Let's praise the kitten!

Applicable scenario: when I don't like typing

XII USB Function expansion

adopt USB The interface supports multiple function extension plug-ins. RF remote control plug-in, temperature and humidity plug-in, hazardous gas detection plug-in will be launched in succession. USB provide 5V/1A Its current output is convenient for charging mobile phones. In actual use, USB The interface gives the kitten unlimited possibility to become a smart home control center. If you can bring your mobile phone to fully charge, it will be automatically cut off USB The power supply will be better ~ ! Ha ha.

Applicable scenarios: numerous

Through the above simple use, we can feel that the kitten intelligent housekeeper is a sincere black technology work, and its cost performance is amazing. In today's hot concepts such as smart home and Internet of Things, I suggest you all come to experience the convenience and happiness brought by scientific and technological progress to our lives!
