preface

The appearance of infrared remote control has widened the distance between us and electrical appliances, but the distance has also produced beauty. It is not necessary to turn on and turn off electrical appliances. Remote control is OK. With more and more electrical appliances in the home, this kind of cheap control method also has disadvantages. An infrared electrical appliance has a remote control, and the home is also constantly adding remote controls, such as television, set-top box, air conditioning. These electrical appliances are the simplest, although they look relatively small, But every family may not have only one appliance. So you must have considered whether there is one thing that can be "worth one hundred". Some popular mobile phones are equipped with infrared emission. Some mobile phones may have their own, so they don't want to add infrared emission. There is no mobile phone with infrared emission in their hands. Then I will introduce a product that can solve these problems for you, and the price is not high. Xiaofang intelligent remote control is a product of this year. I have used Xiaomi's remote control for half a year before I experienced this product. There are some similarities between Xiaofang and Xiaomi. There is a word "small" (jokingly). All of them use WiFi connection and three ends cooperate to complete infrared emission. The local library is powerful. Of course, the new product has a way to go. This time it should be a crowdfunding product, so there will be suggestions at the end of the article. I hope the manufacturer can accept it selectively.

Of course, the price of Xiaofang is cheaper than that of Xiaomi, so how about the workmanship? At the beginning, I will introduce the disassembly and comparison, followed by the unpacking, then the use experience, and finally the summary.

At the beginning of liberation, if you have any opinion, please tell me

Since no screw was found in the whole shell, we started from the bottom gap and used brutal means to pry it off directly. Here we also talk about the technique, which is to find a point and then pry it off bit by bit along that point. After disassembling it, I found that there is another layer at the bottom, and there is no screw. My heart is really....... In fact, a piece of iron was added at the bottom. The whole PCB board was still not visible, so it was impossible. In order to complete the disassembly, we had to continue the disassembly.

The second disassembly of the PCB, which revealed its true face after being disassembled, started with the color layering of Xiao Fang. I didn't explain it specifically, but I really wanted to know where the comment asked me. The first one is why Xiao Fang is so small, because most of them use the original patch welding, except for learning the original. We can also see that the main control chip is hidden under the manufacturer's mark, which shows that the main control chip is also relatively small.

The six emission lamps are all pasters, which is why there is an additional scattering cone designed to cover all infrared control appliances in a space. All SMD lamps are exactly in one plane, so it is impossible to cover all the three-dimensional space, so a scattering cone is used. However, I think there is a problem with the scattering cone, which is the signal attenuation. The PCB board is still fixed in the, and there is a reset button at the bottom, so to make the reset button effective, you need to firmly fix the PCB board. Let's take a look at the other side.

The USB port can be seen at the bottom. The reset button is in the middle. The D1/D3 symmetrical to the USB port is two prompt lights. The yellow light is not connected to WiFi, the blue light is connected to WiFi, and the flashing blue light is the transmission signal. The light we see is also diffuse. No comparison, no evaluation. I also opened Xiaomi's for comparison. The difference between the two is obvious. There is no comment here. Let's have a look.

A disassembly tool drawing is attached

Another piece of advice is not to eat enough to play with, such as this kind of useless screw is the most difficult to remove, and it is impossible to completely recover after disassembly, and it is also easy to get injured.

Unpacking

The appearance of Xiaofang is printed on the white background on the top of the small box, which can roughly perceive the small aspects. The manufacturer and product name are printed on the diagonal.

At the bottom is the introduction function, which uses mobile phone control and WiFi connection. Currently, only 2.4GZ WiFi frequency is supported. USB cable power supply, low voltage, low current, low power consumption. No additional power supply mode is added, such as battery. There is also a frequency limit for infrared, which is 20~60KHz. Generally, 38KHz, 36kHz, 40kHz and 56kHz are also used, so it can cover all infrared remote controls.

Open the package directly, and it is really a "small" party. The front is a black layer to prevent the interference of external light. The front is an indicator light, and the two colors are easy to distinguish. The whole surface is very smooth, a little frosted texture, and will not stain the surface.

In fact, the USB power supply port at the rear was made in all directions, and I thought it was a type-c interface. Later, I saw that the complimentary cable was actually an ordinary Android cable.

The two-dimensional code at the bottom is mainly used. This two-dimensional code can not only download applications, but also bind devices.

These are the only things missing from the manual and power supply line.

APP use

APP is incorporated into Zhijia 365. Zhijia 365 can access other hardware. If you purchase other hardware, you can better use Xiaofang intelligent remote control in combination with intelligent scenes.

Login, the access of a third party, makes login very convenient. After login, the previously added hardware will not disappear, and the traces of previous use will be preserved. At the same time, if many people use Xiaofang at home, Xiaofang can share it, but I suggest that it is more convenient to share an account with multiple devices.

After that, equipment will be added. It is more convenient to scan the code to add equipment. If the QR code cannot be identified, it will be added by product type. There are always ways to add.

The rest can be completed according to the prompts. The last one is renamed, because Xiao Fang has not yet had an environmental note. Here are several things that are suitable for Xiao Fang at home. You can change the name to Xiao Fang in the living room, and so on. Xiao Fang's addition is relatively fast. It can be completed in less than one minute.

Enter the remote control, you can add a remote control at the bottom, and you can also see that you have added several remote controls.

At present, the official is still updating the database. At present, several common appliances have been adapted and can be used. Next, we should continue to improve the existing database and update the control appliances that are not. Since the electrical appliances of each house are different, the matching of this existing electrical appliance store will not be judged. Maybe you have the patience to try one by one according to the corresponding brand, which should be matched. I can't find the following ways to help you.

The existing original library supports direct copying. Xiaofang intelligent remote control supports learning function. Just use your remote control and press the buttons above to learn one by one.

Some remote control keys cannot be found here, but if you want to add them, you can customize the keys at the red arrow in the figure above.

You can also post for help at the post bar.

The last and most versatile way is to customize the remote control. Regardless of whether there is one, you can directly customize a remote control, and you can also add multiple devices. One remote control can solve various household appliances. Of course, it's a bit messy, but you can set two appliances together, such as the TV and the set-top box with a direct remote control, and avoid the trouble of cutting back and forth. End of experience.

Summarize recommendations

A new product always needs to be updated to make the user experience very good. Xiao Fang is just like this, and still needs to be updated constantly. Because I have already experienced a new product, I give Xiao Fang several suggestions based on the previous experience:

1. Complete the usage scenario of the device, which is where the device is placed, to facilitate the purchase of multiple devices

2. It is better to establish a group of feedback problems if there is no adaptive feedback.

3. To improve the user base, the official adaptation force is small, and the power of many users is strong.

4. Once the device is connected to another WIFI, the remote control added before will disappear. It is troublesome to add it again.

5. It seems that the current remote control cannot be deleted. I hope it can be improved.

Written to users:

At present, Xiaofang's crowdfunding price is 59 yuan, which is relatively cheap. 59 can buy a universal remote control with high cost performance. With its own learning function, there is no need to be afraid of not finding your own remote control model. It's better to put it under the appliance when using it. Sometimes the appliance doesn't respond after pressing it. Don't press it again in a hurry. Sometimes there is a delay at the three ends. It's not good to press it many times. Just wait. Finally, if you buy this, you will fall in love with Xiao Fang.
