[An unexpected surprise]

The winning of the Xiaomi universal remote control was quite unexpected, because I was talking to my friends in the group that day. Suddenly, a group of friends said that a few more people would be awarded for the trial of the Xiaomi universal remote control points, so I also cast the 14 points I missed with the attitude of joining in the excitement. After I clicked to confirm, the returned page did not expect the award result to appear immediately, When I look at it, eh, isn't this me? This is really unexpected. I didn't expect to win with such good luck.

In fact, seriously speaking, I was optimistic about this product from the beginning. I also submitted the application directly at the beginning of the trial. I am a casual person. I often have all kinds of remote controls at home, but there are many remote controls for all kinds of electrical appliances in the living room, such as TV remote controls, air conditioning remote controls, audio remote controls, and floor sweeping robot remote controls. When I put them away after using them, I often can't find them when I reuse them, It's too much trouble.

So I have been wondering whether I can find a product that can collect all the remote controls of my home appliances, and then I can achieve all the functions with only one command. Now with the Xiaomi universal remote control, I feel that I have found the way I have been looking for.

[I'm actually very pocket and portable]

↑ Just like the packaging style of Xiaomi products, the yellow kraft paper box only has Xiaomi's logo on it, and there is no other decoration, which is very simple.

↑ Open the box to see this product directly. The packaging method is very simple. The universal remote control is placed directly in the box without any protection such as cushioning foam. The space inside the box is only enough for this remote control.

↑ The outside of the remote control is covered with a protective film, and the QR code on it is the download link of "Xiaomi Smart Home". This remote control actually relies on the mobile app to achieve the remote control function.

↑ The whole body of this universal remote control is made of plastic, and the front of the body is designed with bright light. There is only a logo of Xiaomi on it, which is very simple. The shape is a circle. According to the official copy, it is designed as a circle to ensure 360 ° omnidirectional infrared emission, so that there is no dead angle for remote control of household appliances in the same space.

↑ The bottom is also very simple, except for the logo, there are only a few parameters of the remote control. However, the bottom is designed with matte finish. I prefer the matte finish, because the bright light like the front is too easy to stick dust, and it will be very obvious if you accidentally rub it a little.

↑ The whole universal remote control body only has a Micro USB socket and a reset hole at the bottom of the machine.

↑ Front view of universal remote control. In fact, from this picture, we can find that there is a lot of dust on the body.

↑ I have to complain about the connection line. Since your universal remote control needs an external power supply to start, why can't it be equipped with a power adapter? Since it is said that the universal remote control can control all the appliances in the home, I must ensure that the power supply is connected at all times to ensure that it can be used at any time, Is the manufacturer so sure that consumers will have an adapter for the universal remote control?

↑ Daily use effect picture. Now I use this universal remote control in the living room. I am satisfied with the daily use of remote control TV, air conditioner and stereo. The daily operation is also very simple, which saves time and labor.

[Intelligent control of everything]

↑ This universal remote control needs to be connected to the wireless network through the mobile phone app to achieve remote control of electrical appliances, so we need to install the "Xiaomi Smart Home" app on the mobile phone at the beginning.

↑ After installing the app and logging in, you need to select the Xiaomi universal remote control at the place where the device is added to connect.

↑ After the universal remote control is powered on, the indicator light of the body will flash, which means that the equipment is normal.

↑ It was also said that the universal remote control needs to be connected to WIFI, so the corresponding WIFI needs to be set before use. After the machine is connected to the WIFI at home, a special new WIFI source will be generated for connection, but it will disappear automatically after successful connection.

↑ It may be that it has been a while since it was delivered from the factory, so the first time you use it, you will be prompted to upgrade the firmware. It can be seen from the side that Xiaomi's follow-up service support for this product is quite timely. Let me give this device a name, just call it a controller of everything, ha ha!

↑ I think this Xiaomi device is called universal remote control because of its powerful database. When you enter the app for official use, you need to add a remote control for home appliances. You can search the model to achieve remote control matching. You can also test the automatically provided remote control data one by one according to the text guide in the app. In addition, you can copy the remote control, that is, copy the key commands on the remote control one by one to achieve remote control.

From the options of the app, we can see that the appliances controlled by this universal remote control basically cover all kinds, and the supported appliance brands also include most of the brands on the market. If there is no response or the adaptation is unsuccessful when matching the remote control, the user will automatically provide rich remote control data to choose the appropriate one.

↑ The above pictures are the successful matching pages of Hisense TV, Philips Audio and Midea Air Conditioner in turn, and I chose these three because I used a variety of ways to connect and match, for example, I found the model of Hisense TV from the back of the standard remote control and then searched in the universal remote control app, Philips Audio is successfully matched through network data, while Midea Air Conditioner is successfully matched by selecting household appliances and brands.

↑ However, I found that after the successful adaptation of these appliances, the button failure occasionally occurred. At this time, it is necessary to edit the button that does not work independently, that is, to make a button work, it is necessary to press the corresponding function button on the physical remote control.

↑ I think many people will think that this universal remote control is of no use, that is, it can control the household appliances. Can my mobile phone download the universal remote control and then achieve remote control through infrared? Why should I spend that money to buy this thing?

What I want to say is that people who have this idea are wrong, because this universal remote control can do more than just control a home appliance. This device has a special advantage over the mobile phone download remote control infrared control appliances, that is, it uses the "scene" function in the mobile phone app. I believe that friends with millet ecological chain products at home are no strangers to this.

Take a scene that I usually use at present. I set the household appliances used in the living room, such as triggering the air conditioner to start, TV to start, and audio adjustment. When I get home from work, I wake up the scene to turn on the air conditioner and wait for the corresponding time to turn on the TV. This scene provides me with great convenience.

[Brief summary]

This universal remote control has been used for almost a month, during which time I have also experienced various functions carefully. Here is a brief summary:

Advantages: powerful data, and the number of supported household appliances and brands covers almost all remote-controlled products in the market; Simple operation, saving time and labor in practical use; Smart scenes are great, bringing great convenience to life; The cost performance ratio is high. Recently, as the New Year is approaching, I feel that it is also a good choice to buy a Xiaomi universal remote control as a New Year gift for relatives and friends.

Disadvantages: First of all, as mentioned above, since you need to connect the power supply for use, why can't you configure an adapter as a standard? In addition, in the actual use process, the button failure occasionally occurs. I hope it can be optimized in the future; The bright material is too easy to absorb dust.

The above is the whole content of this trial. It is inevitable that there is something missing from my personal views. Please communicate more. Thank you for watching!

Happy New Year!
