With the development of smart homes driven by the Internet of Things, there are now more and more smart devices in the home, such as smart speakers, smart toilets, smart lights, smart doorbells, smart cameras, etc. The smart home products I am configuring now are basically configured around the Mijia system, and there are already 56 connected devices in the Mijia APP, but what I want most is smart curtains.
Before, Xiaomi Mall has listed two smart curtain products, but the first "Mijia smart curtain" needs direct power supply, and there must be a socket on the side of the curtain, so it is not very friendly to many old house users. The second "Mijia smart curtain lithium battery version" although built-in batteries, but the price is higher than the first, and need to reinstall the slide, and some worry about the damage to the battery in the later stage, did not consider the start. Not long ago, Xiaomi crowdfunded a "Mijia Curtain Companion", priced at only 299 yuan, I immediately started.
Compared with Mijia smart curtains and Mijia smart curtains Lithium battery version, the advantages of Mijia curtain companions are still relatively obvious. First of all, the price of Mijia curtain companion is cheaper, and it is the same as the Mijia smart curtain lithium battery version, with a built-in lithium battery, which can be used without power supply, which is very suitable for users of old houses. Secondly, the compatibility is good, the Mijia curtain companion not only supports U-shaped, I-shaped tracks, but also supports Roman poles, but when purchasing, you need to pay attention to U-shaped, I-shaped and Roman poles are two versions.
Judging from the information of the packaging box, the Mijia curtain companion is produced by Shenzhen Lumi Lianchuang Technology Co., Ltd., which is one of the Xiaomi ecological chain enterprises and has delivered many hot products to Mijia. Mijia curtain companion is not large, the size is 140.5 * 96 * 44mm, the back of the fuselage is equipped with an indicator light, setting key and light sensor, of which the main use of the setting key is to switch the machine, switch the curtain, restore the factory settings and set the hook, etc., and the light sensor can automatically open and close the curtain according to the light change.
On the side of the Mijia curtain companion is a Type-c charging port, and a Type-c data cable is included with the box. Mijia curtain companion has a built-in 6400mAh lithium battery, which is larger than the battery capacity of traditional smart phones, according to the official introduction, its long endurance mode can reach 6 months, and the ordinary mode endurance can also reach 4 months, this achievement is still ideal for such a small body device.
The top of the Mijia curtain companion is two hooks and drive wheels, the role of the hook is to hang the machine on the U-shaped track and the I-shaped track ferrule, and the role of the driving wheel is to drive the curtain to move back and forth, which is one of the most important components of the Mijia curtain companion. The driving wheel is powered by the built-in drive motor inside the machine, and the built-in high-precision Hall full-time scanning, equipped with classic filtering algorithms, whether it is hand pull control or automatic opening and closing, can make the opening and closing ratio and stroke setting more accurate.
Mijia curtain companion can access the Mijia APP, through the Mijia APP can realize the mobile phone operation Mijia curtain companion, but it needs to be noted that if you want to experience the Xiaoai voice assistant to control the Mijia curtain companion, or the Mijia curtain companion is linked with other smart devices, it must be equipped with the Mijia Bluetooth Mesh function gateway, such as the Mijia smart multi-mode gateway, the Xiaomi Xiaoai speaker, the Xiaoai touch screen speaker, the Redmi Xiaoai speaker, etc.
If there is no gateway, we can only control the Mijia curtain companion through the mobile phone, such as wake-up mode, intelligent scene, timing opening and closing and other functions can not be realized, but the ambient light linkage function can still be used. After opening the ambient light linkage, the Mijia curtain companion can automatically open and close the curtain according to the light situation, and the curtain status can be set, such as only 10% open. In addition, in the setting center, you can also turn on the long battery life mode, or create a curtain group (folio curtains, two devices linked).
The installation method of Mijia Curtain Companion is relatively simple, if you can not first check the official instructional video. Before installation, you first need to confirm what type of curtains you have, and the Mijia APP will also prompt users to choose three types of curtains. Once you've made your selection, release the hook to its maximum state by pressing the settings key, and the hook hangs on the first and second wheels on the side of the active rail, then press the settings again to hold the curtain companion tightly to the track.
This is the automatic opening and closing scene after installation, is it very convenient to use, the key is that the price is not counted in the same type of product, and the 6-month long battery life mode can also avoid the trouble of frequent charging back and forth to disassemble the Mi family curtain companion. Of course, if you are renovating a new house, it is still recommended to set a power supply next to the curtains, just like setting a power supply next to the toilet and towel rack, using a smart toilet and drying drying rack is one thing, but if you want to use it one day, no power supply is equivalent to buying a lonely.
Do you think the Mi family curtain companion is worth it?
