No more iq taxes
To be honest, half a year ago when i decided to play house-wide intelligence, all my friends reacted with one voice:
"iq tax again?"
"a few thousand dollars for a voice light? Are you sick?"
"can i call my wife to turn on the light? Free!"
Even my mom says, "you're tired with a hand on the switch?"
I spent $1,500 on my teeth under pressure from my family, giving my 89 flat three to "smart."。
Now six months have passed, and i want to say, "it smells so good!"
But it's not full of incense -- there's a couple of pits, and i'm really about to smash all the equipment。
Today, there is no advertisement, no delivery, pure experience of a common user. When you're done, it's not worth the $1,500。
Let me show you the bill
The first thing people hear about "house-wide intelligence" is, "no tens of thousands of dollars
Wrong
I put it down, and it costs a total of $1487, rounded to 1,500. I'll give you a list of the direct jobs:
Table
Focus:
Free all wires and load them for half an hour
You don't have to break the wall, you don't have to change the water and power
All of it. One of them
Don't believe the renovation companies told you, "the whole house has to be wired in advance." that's to earn your labour! Now there's a wireless program, zero-wire, and plug-in is working。
It took six months, and these five do not go back a mile
This function, i would call the house-wide intelligent soul, no one
The setup is simple: the door and window sensors detected opening the door, turning off the main lights, lighting the living room lights in turn, and automatically opening the air conditioner to 26 degrees。
Imagine:
When you get out of work in the summer, you're sweating your keys to the door and you're not in the dark living room and the hot air, but in the light + the cold wind。
It feels like there's a snail girl waiting for you。
I used to spit "speak on the light" and it was stupid -- my hand reached the switch and i yelled
But automation is real. You don't have to do anything. It moves。
The bathroom man comes to light, the lights go out -- no more "forgot to turn off the lights."
Is there anything like me
Finish the toilet and forget to turn off the lights。
And then the wife, and mom, in the back, said, "no lights! No money for electricity!"
The problem was solved once the human sensor had been installed。
Daytime: someone goes in there and turns on the lights. Off
At night, it's only 10% bright, not sharp
I've detected a person, and it's always bright
Six months later, my wife never told me about the lights. Family harmony + 10086。
Three times out of the house, a power outage -- the salvation of a person suffering from forced illness
I used to go out. I had to check over and over again:
Is the light off
Did the air conditioning go off
Did you get the water
Is the heater off
And when i went downstairs, i thought, "did i just lock the door?"
Now, press the wireless switch at the door:
All lights are off
Air conditioners, water heaters, drinking water machines, all power outages
Gateway sheet security mode activated
There's no need to look back and feel safe。
4x4 remote control of the phone - saved my life several times
It's a function that people who don't use, feel chicken ribs, call for help。
A few real scenes:
Last time, i went on a trip and suddenly it rained, thinking the balcony window was open
Although it was not possible to close the windows remotely, i opened the balcony camera remotely to confirm that the rain did not come in and that it was more reassuring。
"sleep mode" -- happy room
Before bedtime:
Turn off the lights in the living room
Turn off the lights in the hallway
Turn off the lights in the bedroom
Yeah, i found the air conditioner on the bed
Get up and make air conditioning
Now:
"good night, my little friend."
The lights are off
Air conditioning to sleep mode 28 degrees
The curtains close automatically
The doorlock is automatic
The whole process for five seconds, you don't even have to open your eyes。
I stepped on three holes for you
Say perfect, say bad. Every pit i've stepped on for six months makes me want to scold。
Pit 1: don't buy a fire version of the smart switch! Don't buy it
Important things say three times。
I started off cheap, and i bought two single-fired switches
Lights flash at night
Really, at 3:00 a. M., the living room lights themselves out and almost gave me a heart attack like a ghost。
Then it became clear that there was no zero line in the old house, and that was the problem with the single-fired switch, the technical defect, the incomprehensible。
Solutions:
Or change the zero-fire version
Either buy a "one-fire-stabilized" version
Or use a smart light bulb without changing the line
Remember, the switch is the core
Pit 2: don't buy too many sensors. It really doesn't work
I started with a hot head, i bought five personal sensors, every room。
And
The bedroom sensor, turning over at night, lights the lights. It's boring。
The sensor in the kitchen, standing still while cooking, turned off the light。
Maximum configuration:
Human sensors. Only bathrooms, corridors, gateways
Door and window sensors
Temperature sensors
Don't listen to the merchants. "the house is covered." most of them are iq taxes。
Pocket 3: don't pursue full intelligence. First, light intelligence
A lot of people came up and thought:
I want smart curtains! Smart door locks! Smart toilet! Smart hanger
Stop! Stop
Believe me, 90% of the smart device you used twice is no longer used。
My proposal:
Phase 1 ($1,500): first light + sensor + plugin, needed
Phase two (after six months): feel good, then put curtains and locks
The third stage (one year later):
As a result, tens of thousands of dollars were spent and most of the equipment was being eaten ash。
Six months of real data: how much did it cost
Many say: "what saves the electricity when the intelligent family is in itself?"
I've made a special book for you
Before loading: average monthly electricity cost 180 yuan
After loading: average monthly electricity cost of $135
Monthly savings: $45
Biannual savings: 270 yuan
Where did you save it
The bathrooms, the hallways are no longer off the lights, water heaters are not needed, the water is on 24 hours, the air conditioners are not off on time, and all the equipment that goes out of the house is running low, just a few bucks a month
At this rate, three years of return, and then it's pure。
And it doesn't cost time -- how many times a day do you run less switches? How much less
Dry cargo time: white's installation guide from scratch
A lot of people ask, "i don't know anything, can i pretend to be?"
The answer is, absolutely。
Step 1: make sure you have a zero line
Open a switch panel. Look inside:
Step 2: purchase order of equipment (in order of priority) gateway buy this first, all of which needs to be connected to its smart switch at the core, experience raising the maximum human sensor in the bathroom
I've shared with you the most stable automation in six months, and i set it up:
The door opens, lights are on, lights are on in 30 seconds, the living room lights are off, five minutes after the door is closed, lights are off, all plugs are out, lights are on, lights are on, 2 minutes are off, lights are off, lights are off, night are off, 2:3 - 3, bedrooms move, lights are on, 10% bright morning mode: 7:00 a day, curtains are open, air conditioners are off
This is the five automation, covering 90% of the use scenes, and the rest is really unnecessary。
Finally, is $1,500 worth what
It took six months, and my answer was: very valuable, but in the right position。
People who are not fit:
And finally, to be honest:
Smart house is never something "higher," it's the essence of it -- to help you slack off。
$1,500, buy you 10,000 less switches in the next five years, less ten thousand times, i think。
After all, isn't the ultimate meaning of technology making people lazy
Interactive time
Is your house full of intelligence
How much did it cost? How did it go
Is there anything you want to remind us of
