matters needing attention: The sticking surface must be kept clean; Avoid mounting on metal surfaces.

2、 Four piece set operation of Xiaomi smart home combination products

1. Xiaomi body sensor

Open the instruction manual, and we can learn that its structure and function are as follows:

After understanding the structure, we can perform the following operations:

The first step is to add equipment.

Sensors not bound to a gateway should be added in any of the following ways until the gateway prompts "Successful connection".

Method 1: Add through smart home client. Open the smart home client, select to add a sub device on the multi-functional gateway interface, and click the reset hole of the device to be accessed according to the prompt (a thin iron bar or needle is needed here, because it is not equipped in the product). After the indicator flashes 3 times, you will hear the voice prompt "Installation succeeded" of "Aqara air conditioner partner", and the client interface will also display that the installation was successful;

Method 2: Add by pressing the local key of the gateway. Press the multi-function gateway button for three consecutive times, and press the recharge hole to access the device according to the prompt.

Method 2: Tear off the protective film of adhesive tape (round adhesive tape is provided in the attachment) and stick it in the required area.

matters needing attention: It is recommended that the installation height should be 1.2m-2.1m, and the detection range should be smaller if it is less than 1.2m. Although it does not affect the use, it is not advisable. If the sensor is larger than 2.1m, there is a blind zone at the bottom, and some areas cannot be detected, it is not advisable; During installation, the lens shall be aligned to the area to be detected, and the sensor shall be placed or pasted as close to the edge of the desktop or cabinet as possible.

The second step is sensor installation. The details are as follows:

1. Pull off protective film of adhesive tape

2. During installation, try to align the installation marks on the side of the main body and magnet

3. The pasting bodies are mainly located in the required opening and closing area (it is recommended that the sensor body is installed on the fixed surface of the opening and closing area, and the magnet is installed on the active surface of the opening and closing area. The installation gap is less than 22mm when the doors and windows are closed)

matters needing attention: The sticking surface must be kept clean and dry; Please avoid falling during installation, which may damage the sensor body.

3. Millet temperature and humidity sensor

"Xiaomi Rubik's Cube" is an intelligent wireless controller based on motion sensing, which is connected to the Xiaomi multi-functional gateway. It is also set through the smart home client, and can realize the linkage of different actions to control multiple devices.

The operation of adding a device is similar to that of the sensor above, but it is more convenient. You can hear the voice prompt "successful connection" just by shaking it hard.

summary

Judging from the recent trial, "Aqara air conditioner light control combination" is a very good smart home device. The fool type operation is very simple, and the installation is also very convenient, without changing the original circuit structure of the family. With the four piece set of Xiaomi smart home combination products, I really experienced a smart home life. This device is based on Mijia smart home client APP and home broadband network foundation to link all devices. The Aqara air conditioner partner has a variety of functions. In addition to its own ability to control the air conditioner, it also has a gateway function. It can not only give voice prompts to other devices about "successful connection", but also play ringtones and music. In addition, it also supports the network radio function; A The design of the qara wall switch follows the tradition but goes beyond it. After the user presses the switch to execute the action, the switch button will automatically bounce back to the original position, without losing the sense of harmony and beauty. With Xiaomi door and window sensor, Aqara wall switch can realize "when you get home at night, push the door open, the light will turn on automatically"; With Xiaomi body sensor, Aqara wall switch can realize "someone automatically turns on the light and nobody automatically turns off the light"; The wireless switch and the wall switch can be used together to turn off or turn on the home lights with one button, and the alert mode can be turned on or off with one button when used together with the gateway; After the trial, the sensitivity is still good. Of course, you should install it in place when you install it, and the home network should be stable. In addition, only the home client app can remotely control the lights and air conditioners at home. It doesn't matter if you leave home in time and forget to turn off the lights or air conditioners. The mobile app can help you solve all problems.

What are the disadvantages of the product? I really haven't found any shortcomings. Maybe I haven't used this kind of device before, and everything feels good for the time being. If I have the opportunity to use other intelligent devices in the future, I will certainly compare and analyze them. Then let me talk about some situations I have encountered and the matters needing attention. I think the installation of wall switches is still a bit troublesome. For users without circuit installation experience and knowledge, it still takes a lot of effort. Other devices, such as sensors, should be installed in places that children cannot reach or touch at home because of their small size. It is better to install them fixedly, or children may play with them as toys.
