Smart home is a residential platform, using integrated wiring technology, network communication technology, security technology, automatic control technology, audio and video technology to integrate home life related facilities, and build efficient management system for residential facilities and family schedules. Home safety, convenience, comfort, and artistry, and achieve an environmentally friendly and energy-saving living environment.
Smart home scam (reason)Why is smart home a scam? Next, we analyze it from the perspective of consumers and agents:
First of all, the conclusion of the smart home scam is nothing more than two kinds of people, the first is to buy smart home consumers, the second is to do smart home manufacturers agents. The first type of consumer may be each of us, because we will use smart home products now or in the future, the second is business, and that smart home is the most part of the scam. Let’s start with the latter. .
Smart homes are starting to stir up in China. The fuse will definitely be the huge acquisition of smart home startup Nest in 2014. Then the smart home in China is out of control. In the past, smart home companies saw hope and continued to increase research and development. We have not yet designed a smart home company, and we are trying to enter the industry. We look at mobile phones such as Xiaomi, Meizu, Samsung, Apple, Huawei, and the Internet's Ali, JD.com, as well as telecommunications, mobile, China Unicom and other industries in the communications industry. The giants began to talk about smart homes, and they all began to lay out smart homes. The purpose was to be able to fly the pigs when they were in the wind.
Since companies in other industries are inter-distributed, the original company in this industry is even more crazy. It may be a foundry sensor, or a socket panel, which has become a technology company, involved in smart homes, and quickly established promotional marketing. You can not find a consumer first, but you must find an agent. You can use the product first or not, but it must be easy to use for the agent. Then the agent will subdivide the level. The level is judged. How much money is in the money, the more you buy, the higher your level.
This sounds like a little bit of the micro-sales model that has been in the past few years. The above is only about the good products of the propaganda and propaganda. Fudge agents buy and press the goods instead of doing the specific market. This product experience may be awful. However, all the pressure of sales is turned to the agent, and I am only responsible for the deliberate fooling agent. This kind of routine, as a small business partner or a friend who has done building materials business before, listened to the advertisement and continued to receive sales from the business. The phone bombarded and shook the smart furniture, and signed the agent.
According to Xiaobian's evaluation of smart furniture, most of the manufacturers who are currently integrating systems can realize lighting control (turning off the lights), security arrangements (cameras, door locks, sensors), and home appliance control (on and off). Function, there are quite a lot of voice control in China, but the voice recognition function is not flattered here (compared with Amazon Echo and Google's home, etc.), because I also often participate in smart furniture exhibitions and communicate with some manufacturers. Some even say that their technology is more advanced than foreign countries for a few years. I really want to debunk the reason why I can't come out with such excellent hardware as Amazon Echo.
When some manufacturers look for agents, the sales of smart furniture are fascinating, and the product is exaggerated. Once the sales are completed, the good market development, product update, and after-sales protection mentioned in the previous period are delayed. After waiting for a year, the manufacturers are still selling them. The product problems often appear, and the money is easy to pay. When I want to return the goods, the money is returned. I don’t know how difficult it is. Finally, the agent found the cost of opening the market. It may be more expensive than the purchase price. The problem of the product is simply not solved by itself. Eventually, it leads to a problem that smart home is a scam.
Above we analyzed the agents, let's talk about why some consumers say that smart home is a scam. As mentioned above, some merchants have fooled agents, so the agent must be fooled by consumers. It will definitely be said before the installation. All kinds of good, and the price is also very good, for example, an ordinary switch panel is tens of dollars, a little better than one hundred, but an ordinary smart home switch control panel to 500+, can be described as The average dozens of times is several times that of a good panel. What is even more uncomfortable is that after the purchase, various problems still occur. It is really a joke to solve the problem and sometimes send the product to the manufacturer.
There are also some home appliances that have joined the smart furniture camp. Many ordinary home appliances have become smart home appliances when they are added to the mobile phone control. At the same time, there are prices, and the price is 30% higher than normal, but some products are even worse. For example, some bedroom lights can use the mobile phone to control the switch. Some friends will find the mobile phone after turning off the lights at night. Is it to turn on the mobile phone first, or to find the mobile phone and then turn on the light? There are some rice cookers and washing machines. Also controlled by mobile phone, after you put the clothes in the washing machine, first find the phone and then open the app and then click to start washing clothes. This product experience also leads to a result, that is, consumers say that smart home is a pseudo-demand, and some businesses just want to increase the number of hoes. The added features are not practical at all, nor do they take into account the consumer experience.
So smart furniture is really a scam, I don't think so, why is this happening? Xiaobian evaluation thinks that most of them are because the manufacturers are eager for quick success, they are not willing to invest in cost research and development, are not willing to conduct detailed market research, and are even more reluctant to spend long. Time and cost are focused on the product, just thinking about occupying the market as soon as possible and making money quickly, so this leads to such a result. Of course, there are many brands of merchants doing very well in the market. I will not mention the brand name here. Interested friends can go to Xiaobian to evaluate the smart home network. I believe that smart home is definitely the future trend. Time may not be too long, and half of our home products may be connected in the next five years.
Smart home is an empty shellThe above explains why the smart home is a scam. Next, let's take a look at what ordinary people say about smart homes as an empty shell. So what are the empty smart home products?
1, air detector
Along with the worse air, the intelligent air monitoring products specializing in indoor air quality monitoring have entered our sights in addition to various types of intelligent air purifier products. Representative products include the air box and the air fruit launched by Haier this year. The concept of this kind of product is very attractive. In addition to the basic air index such as temperature and humidity, it can also monitor the air in the home and allow you to remotely control the home appliance.
There is no doubt that if such products are only displayed by various air indexes, then it is not very meaningful. Perhaps, everyone only values ​​that it can control home appliances. When your indoor air is poor, you need to turn on the relevant equipment to purify the indoor air. The air box will automatically issue instructions to intelligently link the home equipment for air purification. However, as an emerging product, whether the data monitored is accurate or not, whether it is convincing is the first problem.
Secondly, even if you use such air monitoring products to find out that the air pollution in your home is serious, what can you do? If it is just as simple as remote control of air purifiers, air conditioners and other household appliances, it is better to integrate these independent air monitoring products directly into home appliances, and at least the home will not be flattered with a small box occupying a place.
2, Apple HomeKit
"It will not be used if it is installed, but it is better not to install it!" This is probably the voice of many smart home users, reflecting the complexity of the operation of smart homes. At present, most smart home system designs are not user-friendly, resulting in great operational difficulties. Originally, I wanted to enjoy a more convenient and more comfortable life, but the complicated operation made the user experience less beautiful, and I could only abandon it.
In early June, Apple released HomeKit, a smart home management application, at the Global Developer Conference. Apple officially said at the press conference that the platform allows company users to use the iPhone, iPad or even AppleTV to integrate the Siri function to automatically control the door and window locks and adjust the light, which can control the doors, windows, lights and other equipment. At the same time, Apple also launched the "Made for iPhone (MFi)" certification, allowing third-party manufacturers to produce smart home devices that can interact with the iPhone.
According to relevant reports, although some smart platforms seem to be high-end, it is not convenient for consumers to actually use them. For example, Apple's homekit requires consumers to first confirm which products in the home can be matched with the iPhone through the Made for iPhone (MFi) certification, and only the matching products can be connected to the Apple device. Poor compatibility, almost always Apple products have been criticized by the outside world.
3, smart light bulb
How hot is the concept of smart home? Look at the light bulb above your head and you will know. Now, even a few dozen LED bulbs have joined the ranks of smart homes in recent years. Remote control switches and free color change are nothing. The so-called more creative products are still emerging. In April of this year, MiPow launched a PLAYBULB LED bulb. In addition to connecting the phone to adjust the brightness, you can also listen to the song as an alarm clock.
It is said that MiPow PLAYBULB is not only an LED bulb, but also has a built-in speaker. Just connect the phone to PLAYBULB. In addition to controlling the brightness of the bulb, you can play music via Bluetooth. If your bedside lamp uses PLAYBULB, you can use the mobile app. It turns into an alarm clock.
Although a variety of seemingly novel and interesting features give the small bulb the "smart" title, the most basic and important function of the light bulb is still lighting. There are too many other products to replace, whether it is singing or alarm clock. . As far as LED bulbs are concerned, how to extend the service life of bulbs and how to further reduce the price based on ensuring light efficiency is still a headache in the industry. Anyway, the light bulb is just a good job to do your own job and bring the best lighting experience to the user.
