Presumably many people like Xiao Bian, the more home appliances, bring convenience, comfortable life at the same time, but there are also some minor annoyance, that is, more and more remote control.
Just like Xiao Bian, just in the living room there are TVs, IPTV, glory boxes, speakers, air conditioners, and air purifiers. These six things use a remote control, and they do so in a row. Usually, you make up your own mind.
Although the concept of smart homes and Internet of Things is playing fiercely, it is still far from ordinary users. In response to this situation, many manufacturers have proposed solutions. Xiaomi is one of them. Xiaomi launched "Millet Universal Remote Control" last year and used it with his "Xiaomi Smart Home" APP. Is this program really convenient? Xiao Bian I specifically bought this product and experienced it. Next we will take a look.
In terms of packaging, Xiaomi’s consistent design language continues to be said. The packaging shows that this product was produced by Xiaomi Ecological Chain Enterprise: “Shanghai Chuangmi Technologyâ€. Here is a digression statement, there is a word on the Internet to say that Xiaomi in addition to mobile phones is not good, other products are very good. Putting aside some of the main methods of view, objectively speaking, certain products of Xiaomi are actually OK. The key is that it has its own set of ecosystems that can be integrated together, and to a certain extent, can reduce users' use costs.
Open the package, all contents include remote control, simple instructions, data lines. The product does not come with a charger. This experience is not very good. The small ant camera of Xiaomi's product is equipped with a charger. Is it for users to use with millet plug-in board?
The attached data cable also made me dissatisfied, and the actual measurement was only one meter long. We must know that the line of the small ant camera is two meters long. Originally intended to use the remote control on the coffee table in the middle of the living room but gave up because the line was not long enough. Can only choose to place on the TV cabinet, fortunately its coverage is still satisfactory.
In fact, the remote control is a product with low power, and millet can take the form of a built-in battery. This will make it more convenient and free to choose the location. And not as completely as it is now depends on the layout of the user's home outlet.
The size of the remote control is not very large. It can be grasped by one hand, and it does not occupy a lot. App mounting instructions on the protective film.
The back of the remote control, the body is a cooling hole, long-term open for heat dissipation. In the middle is a circle of non-slip mats, a good anti-skid effect.
Tip: Always remove the protective film before use. Here's a tantrum. It's a protective film. Why is it so difficult to tear off with a gum with a high viscosity?
The piano paint on the surface of the remote control is very beautiful. But one thing is that it is very easy to get dust and it is very easy to grind flowers.
When I took a photo, the surface became like this. Basically, I rubbed the ash with my hand and could leave scratches. It was really powerless.
Side of the fuselage, one side is the Micro USB interface, reset key; the other side is the indicator, the status of the remote control, and when paired with the phone connection, all need to rely on this indicator light. (Ignore the dust and stick it with carelessness)
Put on the TV cabinet, the overall match is also acceptable, not a good look, but it is not ugly. This is probably the so-called no design is the best design it. However, relatively speaking, I prefer the shape of Shanghai Air's air box.
The appearance part is here, and is this universal remote control easy to operate? Let's look at it again.
Turn on the power of the remote control, open the "Millet Smart Home" APP, find the "universal remote control", follow the prompts to link WiFi, the link can be completed. On the whole, it is still relatively simple, but there are occasional failures. Xiaobian made it strange when I first linked. At this time, I need to perform the corresponding operation according to the blinking mode of the indicator. So if it is for the elderly in the home, it is recommended to help them set up for use later.
When the connection is complete, the product appears on the "My Devices" list, as long as the product is online and can be used. In other words, using millet universal remote control can remotely operate the equipment in the home. This is an advantage compared to some mobile phones that use infrared to control home appliances. A few days ago Xiaobian went out and forgot to shut down the purifier. When he looked at the small ant camera, he found out about this situation, and then closed it remotely. This point is still relatively convenient.
In addition, Xiaomi also supports the device sharing function. With this feature, it is very convenient for multiple people at home to control one device.
The addition of remote control is also very convenient, millet universal remote control supports three modes to add remote control, namely: model search, you can directly search for the signal on the remote control, add; guide to add, according to the application of operating procedures, brand model Match; copy the remote control, if the above two methods are not successful, you can use this method to copy each key of the remote control one by one to complete the addition, equivalent to the previous general universal remote control learning function. Above, I made a demonstration with the second method. It is very simple. In most cases, the steps can be added smoothly.
However, it is a pity that Xiaobian's TV is a new brand of 17TV, which is owned by Lenovo. Whether it is added in accordance with the above guidance or model search, it has not been successfully added. Neither the official library nor the user library has this model. And when searching, if there is no corresponding data, scrolling up and down several times will make mistakes, which is a minor problem. Fortunately, the original remote control of the TV has an air mouse function, which is very convenient to use, so it is not added.
Air conditioners do not support the "copy remote control" model, which can only match official data. The official data is relatively even, at least the air-conditioning in the home can match smoothly.
It should be mentioned that air purifiers are not optional when adding remote controls. Can only be done in the mode of copying the remote control, do not know why Xiaomi made such a setting. In addition, the remote control also supports camera control, most ordinary users will not buy a remote control for the SLR, there is such a function to meet occasional emergency use is good.
Controlling so many home appliances, how does the Xiaomi universal remote control signal coverage behave?
Due to the characteristics of infrared rays, it is certainly not necessary to go through the wall, so only look at the situation in one room. The figure above is the general layout of the Xiaobian living room (the ratio is not correct, make do with it), television, speakers, set-top boxes, TV boxes are distributed in the A point, the edge is empty. The opposite point A is air conditioning. I tried to place the remote control at two points A and B for testing. All of them can control the electrical appliances very effectively. No blind spots appear.
In addition, the set-top box I was stored under the TV cabinet, and I chose to put the remote control on the table, separated by a layer of wood, can easily control, completely no effect.
Like what is now called smart products, products such as Xiaomi Universal Remote Control seem to be in the right direction, but at least for now, it is not that perfect. It seems more convenient to control all appliances on a single cell phone, but is it really so? In the past, you only needed to pick up the remote control and you could turn on the TV. If you use the millet remote control, you need to pick up the phone, open the APP, select "universal remote control", and then select the corresponding electrical appliances, but the steps become more. For another example, when watching TV, it's only necessary to mute or turn the volume down by remote control. Now if you want to use a mobile phone, you may be in a rush. In the course of my experience, basically, I was still using my usual habit of rummaging around in a bunch of remotes instead of turning on the phone to control the appliances. Of course, the function of remote control is still very useful. At least it can make the old appliances at home take a big step toward the smart appliances. It is just that there are not many use scenarios.
Perhaps, in the use of the APP, adding some functions, such as allowing users to set up a use of the scene, a set of instructions, can be a key to open or close a group of appliances, perhaps so that users will be more willing to use it.
advantage:
1. A mobile phone controls all appliances in the home and solves the problems of storage of a bunch of remote controllers;
2, can remotely control home appliances, like turning off the air conditioning before arriving home before work, more convenient;
3, 360 degrees infrared emission, no dead ends.
Disadvantages:
1, is also a mobile phone to control all home appliances, but the operation steps become complicated, such a form is not convenient in the end, varies from person to person;
2. It is not designed as a built-in battery, which imposes certain restrictions on the placement of the battery.
3, the surface material is easy to gray, easy to wear, this is a deadly for a product that needs to be placed like a decoration for a long time;
4, APP function is simple.
In short, this is a product that is suitable for early adopters, but it is still unknown whether the user can continue to use it for a long time.
