The arrival of the Internet of Things has greatly improved people's lives. Smart home has gradually become a popular product in people's homes. In the early years, there have been smart sockets, air conditioning partners and other products, but these seem to be just a simple orphan, not forming a ring network structure, so there has not been a wave in the field of smart home, Shenzhen Lvmi Lianchuang Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Xiaomi Ecological Chain, thought of this and created the Aqara smart bedroom suit, aiming to create a new intelligent life. This time I'm calling you this Aqara smart bedroom suit. Let's see what magic functions it has

Interpreting Aqara

When talking about this set of products, you will inevitably ask what Aqara means. In fact, Aqara comes from the Latin word "acutula", which means smart, while ARA means home in Latin. Aqara integrates the two, which means that the future family will become more and more intelligent.

New weather for unpacking

Before I received the product, I was thinking it must be a big white box. It is really a big white box, which is quite similar to the style of Mijia. The front of the outer package is a family portrait of the Aqara smart bedroom suite, which consists of seven products, including an Aqara air conditioner companion, an Aqara wall switch (single live wire double key version), an Aqara wall socket, an Aqara wireless switch (wall attached single key version), an Aqara wireless switch (wall attached double key version), an Aqara temperature and humidity sensor and an Aqara body sensor, Its core product is air conditioner companion.

‍

On the lower left corner of the front of the packaging box, it was noted that the package had been connected to Mijia APP and the system requirements for Android and Apple products.

‍

All units and related accessories included in the package are indicated on the side of the package. It can be seen that the main connection modes of the package are ZigBee and WiFi.

‍

The bottom of the packing box takes a bedroom as the background, which briefly explains the functions of each sub unit.

‍

When opening the package, the first thing I saw was a player script provided by Aqara, which showed the application case of the package in home life in the form of cartoons: automatically turn on the air conditioner through the ambient temperature; Turn off the air conditioner automatically after leaving; Turn off lights easily via wireless switch, etc.

‍

On the back of the player's script are the instruction manual and San Bao certificate of the suit. This article briefly introduces the usage of the package.

‍

When you remove the manual, you can see the suit itself. The seven small units are an embedded structure fixed in the package, which looks very neat and can ensure the stability of the product.

‍

Unit Talk

The air conditioner companion (gateway version), as the core member of the package, plays an important role. If the air conditioner companion is compared to the sun, then other products of the package can be understood as planets revolving around the sun. Imagine that if the central point is lost, then the surrounding planets will lose their role, Therefore, the air conditioning partner is an important part of the package. When it is used for the first time, the air conditioner partner will prompt the user to establish a connection through voice.

‍

‍

The air conditioner partner also has the function of a radio, which can be easily turned on and adjusted through Mijia APP.

‍

Temperature and humidity sensor

After the connection is established successfully, you can view the temperature, humidity and pressure parameters of the environment through Mijia APP, and view its related duration curve.

‍

‍

Wireless switch

There are two types of wireless switches in the package: single button version and double button version. Because it is a wireless product, it needs a CR2032 button battery inside.

‍

‍

The wireless switch can be easily opened through a screwdriver, and the internal structure can be seen. The black substrate looks very clean. The circuit board design specification can easily see the design difference between the single key version and the double key version of the substrate.

‍

‍

By comparing the internal structures of the two products, it can be found that the workmanship of the suit is relatively fine. The support points pressed by the switch are also coated with lubricant to reduce the friction force generated by pressing and increase the service life.

‍

‍

Human body sensor, the maximum measurement distance can reach 7 meters, and the detection angle can reach 170 °. In order to facilitate multi angle adjustment, there is also a universal rotating base in the accessory.

‍

‍

‍

The wall switch, the so-called wall switch, is doomed to be different from the wireless switch mentioned above. This one needs to be installed on the wall without slotting or wiring. It can directly replace the original switch and can be easily installed on the 86 cassette. Compared with wireless switch, its internal structure is very complex. The dense solder joints are enough to prove the complexity of its interior.

‍ ‍

The wall socket, like the traditional five hole socket, has two holes designed with safety protection to prevent accidents when children play. The wiring mode on the back is easy to cross, and can be easily replaced to the original 86 cassette.

‍ ‍

‍

The accessories of the kit are composed of the mounting base of the body sensor, 4 adhesive stickers of different sizes and 8 fixing screws.

‍

experience

First, you need to plug the air conditioner partner into the air conditioner special socket, download and install the Mijia APP. On the premise of connecting to the WiFi network with 2.4GHz frequency band, open the APP and you will find the new product. ‍

After the connection is successfully established for the first time, there will be a prompt to update the firmware. After clicking Update, you can update the firmware of the air conditioner partner smoothly. Note that during the update process, do not power off!

‍

After the update, you can experience the product. Open the mobile phone APP, plug the air conditioner socket into the air conditioner partner, and match it according to the air conditioner model. You can easily control the air conditioner in the bedroom. Note that the current power can be viewed as shown in the figure

‍

In the APP, it can be seen that when the air conditioner partner is successfully connected, other sub units in the package will automatically appear, without additional connection, which is very convenient.

‍

summary

In short, the Aqara smart bedroom suite can improve the home life by countless levels. The improvement of life quality is driven by products like Aqara. The result of this experience is very gratifying. At the same time, I hope that some of my feelings can play a little role in the next innovation while making such a good design for green rice. The suggestions are as follows:

1. As a package, the button batteries used in the package should be unified to facilitate users' inventory. This package uses two types of button batteries: CR2032 and CR2450, which increases users' reserve of button batteries.

2. The battery of the temperature and humidity sensor can only be removed with the help of foreign objects. It is recommended to add a key to open the battery box in the accessories. Although the accessories are small, they can make users feel the intimate service of Green Rice.

3. Consider adding 5Ghz band air conditioner companion for different users' experience.

4. I don't know whether there is a speaker that supports the Aqara protocol. If there is one, I don't know whether the radio function of the air conditioner partner can be played out through the speaker. If there is no speaker with a corresponding protocol, I don't know whether it is possible to add a component to realize the connection with the Bluetooth speaker. Why should I have this idea? It is because the air conditioner sockets in home life are relatively high, Lying in bed listening to programs through an air conditioning partner seems to be a little hard.

5. For the wireless switch with battery, it is unknown how long a button battery can be used. If the time is too short, it will be troublesome to remove the panel and replace the battery every time? Is it possible to open a skylight on the back, similar to the skylight on the solar calculator, to realize two power supply modes of solar energy and battery?
