【Written on the front】
When everyone brushes the short video, many UP masters are imitating a paragraph. Half a month back from a business trip, a door opened, the house was hot, ah ah mom, when I left the air conditioner forgot to turn off, finished Barbie q. Although it is a paragraph, it still happens often in real life. If there is a smart socket at home, real-time view of the current power consumption, found that the air conditioner is not turned off, can be turned off remotely, such a joke will not occur.
Now the game update, at every turn on a dozen G, after work home want to play, the result is to wait for a long time to update. Now many games, in order to maintain the stability of the server, each login has to queue up, such as World of Warcraft, that line is really called a catch. Some players in order not to want to queue, stunned 7 × 24 hours offline, some use software or macros, some self-made fan hanging artifacts. If there is something that can be turned on remotely and operated on the computer, it is necessary to remotely start the computer, update the game, and log in to the game in advance before work, so that you can seamlessly dock when you go home. Today to share with you this socket with this function: Sunflower P1 intelligent plug board, you can remotely control the switch, with sunflower remote control software also support remote assistance operation, the following is simply to share with you.
【Product Packaging】
The socket packaging is minimalist in black on a white background, with a sunflower logo on the front and WiFi and metering functions below.
On the back is a detailed product manual, the left side introduces the switches and indicators of the plug board, the right side introduces the use of the Sunflower Remote Control APP, and so on.
The product also has no accessories, and the plug board is covered with a dust bag on the outside of the factory, and the plug is equipped with a dust cap.
【Appearance details】
The Sunflower P1 Smart Plug Panel features a 4-hole layout with a 50mm pitch and a power switch on the right. The maximum power of the socket is 2500W, the internal use of tin phosphor bronze material, compared to the general brass more resistant to high temperature, integrated copper strip, V0 flame retardant PC, 750 °C high temperature flame retardant, 75A surge resistance.
Switch with light, off represents the power off state, blue light flash represents the initial configuration, white light constant on represents the powered state, blue light always on represents the normal connection network, white light flashing means that the WiFi cannot be connected, disconnected from the server or configuration failure, and blue and white light alternate flashing represents the firmware upgrade.
The plug board adopts a 5-pin design for each hole, compatible with 3-pin and 2-pin plugs, and the official claim is that 10,000 times of unplugging are not loose. Each set of jacks has a separate safety door to prevent children from being electrocuted, tilting slightly at a small angle when used, and then inserting it with appropriate force. Above the hole is an indicator light, the white light is lit to represent power, and the off represents a power outage.
Two strip silicone pads are attached to the bottom of the plug-in board to increase the slip resistance of the socket. The back is also a product nameplate, rated voltage 250V, maximum current 10A, maximum power 2500W.
Plug-in board cable 1.5 meters, the wire is marked with 60227 IEC 53(RVV) 300/500V, 3×1.0m㎡.
【Jack test】
The plug board has a three-circumference size of 255mm×59mm×30mm, 4-hole layout, and each hole spacing is 50mm.
Looking for 4 different shapes of plug test, direction three-pin plug, square two-pin plug, box phone plug, oval plug, you can see that 4 plugs can be inserted smoothly, and the remaining spacing between each other is also relatively large. Individual plugs use physical independent switches, this relatively large plug will generally interfere with these switches, resulting in actual use can not be opened or closed, but still become a decoration. The Sunflower P1 uses the APP operation switch, there is no interference trouble, the 4-bit jack can be independently controlled, equivalent to 4 smart sockets. Of course, every switch has to be operated by the mobile phone APP, which is also a problem, and I personally recommend designing a physical independent switch on the front side of each socket, so that it is perfect.
Another limit test, plug in the wide power meter to try, did not expect to be inserted very smoothly, and with the plugs on both sides did not interfere, there is a little bit of spacing. Large round or square three-pin plugs on both sides may interfere.
【Remote control】
After the Sunflower P1 Smart Plug Panel is powered on, press the circular switch on the right side, and the indicator light above the 4 holes on the left side lights up. Long press the circular switch, the blue light flashes, enter the network configuration state, at this time you can make network settings on the mobile phone Sunflower remote control APP. Network settings are very simple, simpler than the router's wireless network settings, after finding their own home network, enter the password, you can access the home LAN, if the LAN is a networking state, the plug-in board is also successfully networked. It should be reminded here that the Sunflower P1 smart plug board currently only supports 2.4G WiFi wireless networks, of course, in general, routers are either Dan 2.4G WiFi or 2.4G + 5G dual WiFi.
1. Remote boot
Sunflower P1 smart plug board supports remote boot, you can wirelessly open your own home computer in a different place, no need for the motherboard and network card to support WOL wake-up, and then operate the computer through remote assistance, but this function should be set up. First, enter the computer BIOS (press the DEL key all the time when booting), find the power management settings (Power Management Setup), set the power failure power-down power-back status to power on (the old BIOS is set to AC recovery option set to On), and save to exit.
In addition, the sunflower remote control software is installed on the mobile phone and the computer side, and the computer host is added to the list of sunflower remote control devices. After being added to the device list, remote control can be initiated by logging in to the same sunflower account through the host bound under the list.
The benefits of remote boot, as mentioned earlier, can update the game or queue up in advance before going home, and you can play the game immediately when you go home, eliminating the time of going home to work and so on. In addition, for some servers or mining K, because the power is unstable caused by shutdown or blue screen, you can also achieve remote forced restart.
2. Remote control
The mobile phone APP is "Sunflower Remote Control" with 4 sections of Equipment, Remote Association, Discovery, and My, and you can see all the hardware and bound hosts in the settings, and the intelligent hardware supports control, Ark, boot stick, socket, plug-in board, infrared remote control and other equipment. "My" supports power-off memory and indicator light switch, or renamed by the device, for easy daily management.
Enter the device, find the smart socket P1-2, you can see the plug board graphic, the above S1-S4 represents the 4 jacks on the plug board, support notes. The right side can be bound to different hosts or devices, as mentioned earlier, the host or device also needs to install sunflower software and verify it before it can be bound. The jack supports individually set countdown or timing to meet the individual needs of the user. For example, set a few times to turn on the home heater, so that you can enter the warm room when you get home. Or the computer is hanging up, set a countdown when you go out, hang up for a few hours and then shut down yourself. It is worth mentioning here that this shutdown is not directly turning off the power of the jack, but letting the computer enter the normal shutdown program and disconnecting the power after 2 minutes. App supports power statistics, you can view the power in real time, the power consumption statistics, can be counted by date, can also be counted by the hour. However, at present, the software can only count the power of the entire plug-in board, and it is better if you can do a single hole statistics.
Remote control is not required in the same network, for example, the above figure I use the 4G network to operate the plug board connected to the Home WiFi, you can normally control the jack power switch. As can be seen from the above figure, the delay of this switch is still relatively low. For example, if a heater is connected to the jack, you can't remember whether to turn it off when you go out, then you can directly turn off the power of this jack remotely.
3. Remote assistance
Remote assistance is divided into two ways: remote operation of the computer and mobile phone screen projection computer, and the two need to be verified before assistance. Personal device remote control, by joining the "device list" to log in to the same account to initiate remote control, you can cast the mobile phone screen in real time to the computer side, you can achieve large-screen viewing.
For example, you can cast the mobile game screen in real time to the computer, and family or friends can watch the game together, similar to Aiyouku's TV screen projection function. Of course, here you can also cast the content of the mobile phone video playback to the computer side to achieve the effect of large-screen viewing.
Enter the identification code and verification code of the mobile phone on the computer side, you can use the mobile phone to control the computer to operate, this operation is a bit 6.
Mobile APP supports editing desktop, the function is quite rich, you can record, take a screenshot, switch the sound, open the black screen, shut down, restart, rotate the screen and other operations. Operation mode, there are two modes of pointer and touch, if the desktop resolution is not large, the touch screen operation is more convenient, if the resolution is higher, the icon, the button is smaller, the mouse pointer operation is more refined.
The picture above shows the mobile phone operating the computer, opening the Blizzard game software, updating the "Overwatch" game, you can complete the operation very smoothly. In addition, you can also play games directly on the mobile phone, but it is too small, and it is slightly delayed, and it can only be said to be entertaining. Of course, if the RPG game, you can operate the mobile phone to the designated place to hang up. App playability is still very high, this needs to be slowly explored by everyone themselves.
【Write at the end】
At present, there are many smart sockets on the market, but the smart plug board is not much, just a few, the price is less than 70 yuan does not support single hole control, support single hole control, the price is more than 130 yuan. Sunflower P1 intelligent plug board, the current price of about 99 yuan, double eleven when 79 yuan can be taken down, the cost performance is still quite high. If you just need USB charging, you can also choose the Sunflower P2 smart plug board at the same price to support 5V2A fast charging.
The 4 jacks of the Sunflower P1 smart plug board can be independently controlled by mobile phone APP, and 4 devices can be remotely controlled at the same time: computer, TV, fish tank and desk lamp. Support remote boot, remote force restart, remote assistance to operate the computer, custom switch on and off, and can also control the computer at home when traveling.
Sunflower P1 smart plug board can view and count the electricity consumption in real time through the mobile phone APP, especially when traveling on business, it is found that the home appliances forget to turn off, generating electricity, and can be turned off remotely immediately. If you are a gamer, you can also remotely open the home computer before work, update the game, queue up in advance, and go home to join the "battle". In addition, connect the oil or heater to the Sunflower P1 smart plug board, turn on the machine in advance outside, and enjoy the warmth when you go home.
I talked about the characteristics of the Sunflower P1 smart plug board earlier, and finally talked about my personal suggestions. P1 is supported single-hole independent control, but the power can only be counted by the entire plug-in board, I hope that the manufacturer can design a single-hole power statistics function in the later version, which is convenient for users to personalize the power statistics needs. In addition, whether it is possible to design a physical switch for each hole on the side of the plug board, it is not convenient to operate the mobile phone or when the mobile phone is not around, it can also immediately switch a jack power supply, designed on the side so that it will not be disturbed by various shapes of plugs.
