Recently, the cold air has been killed in the south, and the air at home is getting drier and drier, my daughter has a little nosebleed when she sleeps at night, and Erbao's face also has eczema, so I recently bought Lanbao's S10 humidifier. The main thing is that it is a hot evaporative fog-free humidifier, the steam out of it maintains a comfortable temperature of 39 °C, and can remove calcium and magnesium ions and impurities in the water after high temperature heating, and will not be the kind of white powder and water stains of ordinary humidifiers. This is certainly our first choice for newborn babies,But this one of Sapphire has no Internet of Things function,I consulted customer service It can be operated by infrared remote control,As long as it supports infrared remote control of electrical appliances,It can be used with my little love speaker to voice control,You can also use a mobile phone to operate。
Achieve results
This article uses this humidifier of Blaupunkt S10 to teach you:
1. How to use Xiaoai's voice to control traditional home appliances and realize intelligent linkage;
2、There are tmall elves at home、Apple homepod(Apple watch、iPhone)、Small speakers,How to realize that you can control all the household appliances connected to the home by shouting at random;
If it's useful to you, help like and collect, and if you don't understand, you can also comment and leave a message, your interaction is the biggest motivation for writing.
Prerequisites
Here I want to explain that at present, if you want to use Xiao Ai to access that kind of traditional home, you need to meet the following conditions:
1、Xiaoai speaker needs to be a style with infrared function,For example, Xiaoai speakerPro、Xiaomi Sound MoveThese two;
If you only have a small love speaker that doesn't support infrared remote control,You can also buy a universal remote control for Mi home,The same function can also be achieved,The specific operation method is similar to that in this article。
2、Your home appliance needs an infrared remote control,Bluetooth remote control is not connected to Xiaoai speaker。
If you want to achieve the second function, whether it is called Xiao Ai, Tmall Genie or Siri, any voice assistant can control the electrical appliances at home, you also need to have a device that can deploy Home Assistant, which can be NAS, or a computer that is turned on 24 hours a day, Android phones, Raspberry Pi and other devices, I deployed it on docker in my polar space, mainly considering that it is powered on online 24 hours a day, and it can also be deployed on QNAP's NAS.
About the Blaupunkt S10 Evaporative Mistless Humidifier
If careful friends visit the Wal-Mart supermarket, they may find that their products can be in the home appliance area, and the quality assurance of being able to enter a hypermarket like Wal-Mart is relatively good, plus this itself belongs to a German brand, and my previous wall breaker is also theirs, and I feel very good about workmanship.
I have bought an ultrasonic humidifier before, after using the humidifier around the wet, after a long time there is also white powder (calcium and magnesium ion precipitate in the water), the most terrible thing is that the sprayed water mist is easy to carry bacteria, viruses, forming secondary pollution, there are babies and the elderly, so I no longer consider it, and this belongs to cold humidification, in winter in the south where we have no heating, it is cold on cold.
At present, there is a kind of cold evaporation fog-free humidifier on the market, which is a spiraling rising wind generated by the high-speed fan inside the humidifier to blow the water molecules of the humidifier into the air in the house, and the water molecules blown out by the fog-free humidifier need to pass through a layer of water ring fog net, which uses molecular sieve evaporation technology to effectively filter out the impurities in the humidifier water, and then has the effect of water purification, but this humidification filter screen is also the "hotbed" for bacteria breeding - the filter screen is soaked in water for a long time, and it is easy to breed bacteria. In addition, the impurities and pollutants adsorbed from the old water will also be infiltrated into the new water, and after a long period of use, they will become moldy and smelly, and it is difficult to clean them thoroughly.
The S10 of Blaupunkt is different from the above two, it is a hot evaporative fog-free humidifier, the principle is to heat the water to 100 °C high temperature sterilization to form water vapor, through the circulation fan to cool the distilled water vapor to 50 °C warm mist humidification of the whole house, the advantage is that 0 consumables do not need a filter, nor do they need to be cleaned, at 100 °C high temperature sterilization continues to accelerate and is guaranteed, the whole house high-speed humidification effect is good, and it is particularly friendly to those who have sensitive constitution or the elderly and babies at home.
The humidifier is mainly to consume the water inside, if the water tank is too small, it is more troublesome to add water frequently, Blaupunt S10 uses a 6L large water tank, which can reach 600ml/h in terms of humidification capacity, like a room of 30-60 square meters can easily achieve the whole house humidification.
Although the inside of the machine is designed without a filter, in order to ensure that the air entering the machine is clean, Blaupunkt has set up a HEPA fine filter at the bottom air intake, which can filter suspended particles with a size of more than 0.3 microns, including dust, smoke, pollen, PM2.5, etc., to ensure that the output steam flow is cleaner. It is worth commending that this HEPA filter does not need to be replaced, and can be reused after regular cleaning.
The Blaupunkt humidifier has a total of three levels of humidification adjustment, I generally use one level of silent humidification at night, the power is 180W, the second level of daily humidification is 280W, and the third level of strong humidification is 400W, which can be adjusted according to your needs. Many heated humidifiers are more power-consuming, I use the lowest gear to run for 8 hours at night, about 1.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity a night, according to the calculation of 0.6 yuan for 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity, the electricity cost is about 0.9 yuan a night, and the energy consumption is still good.
Because my baby was born not long ago, so the noise control of the humidifier is also an important factor for me to consider, Blaupunkt S10, which belongs to their upgraded model, uses a honeycomb noise reduction air duct, which can control the noise at 39db, and can hardly hear the sound when used at night, so you don't have to worry about waking up the baby.
There is infrared remote control in operation,After setting up with the smart device at home,You can realize voice control、Intelligent linkage is very convenient,Compared with the price and function of major brands on the market,I personally think that the cost performance of Lanbao S10 is the most Nice,Friends in need can take advantage of the double eleven to place an order。 Other traditional home appliances with remote control can actually be achieved through my above method to achieve voice operation or intelligent linkage, I hope this article can give you a little inspiration, and realize intelligent operation of your home appliances.
Basic settings
We need to download the [Xiaoai speaker] software to set it inside,If you set it in the [Mi Home] APP, there is no way to achieve voice operation,You can only control it with your mobile phone。
Open[Xiaoai speaker]APP,Select the speaker we use,I'm here[Xiaoai speakerPro] and then click[More].
Slide down to the smart home category and click [Voice Control Devices] - [Infrared Remote Control] - [Add More Infrared Appliances].
[Custom device] - write the name of the device you want to control (I write the Blaupunkt humidifier here) click Next, and then write the remote control switch function button, in order to facilitate remembering the voice command, I write here to open the humidifier, click Next;
Click Next after entering the voice command,Then use the remote control of Lanupunkt to press the on/off key of the remote control on the Xiaoai speaker,Finally, it will prompt the learning to complete,You can click to preview the test,You can successfully turn on the humidifier to complete the setting。 Other function buttons can also be added according to the above method to achieve voice operation. Other electrical appliances are also similar to the operation method,If you are using the universal remote control of the Mi family, you need to add equipment to the Xiaoai speaker,Then follow the above method to operate。
Intelligent linkage
After adding the remote control of the humidifier in the Xiaoai speaker,The device we just added will be displayed on the [Mi Home] APP,At this time, we can realize linkage with other home appliances,Realize automatic opening of the humidifier。
1. Open the door and turn on the heater
Now winter is basically very dry every day, so if you want to turn on the humidifier as soon as you get home, you can add a custom [automation] to the [Smart] menu, for example, the humidifier will be turned on when the door is opened from the outside, in order to be more in line with personal behavior, you can set the effective time, such as the end time of the week from 6 pm to 9 pm, if you have an air detector, you can also add when the air temperature is lower than 30%.
2. When the temperature is lower than 30%, the humidifier will be automatically turned on
I use Qingping Technology's air detector at home, which can be added directly in Mi's home, so it is very convenient to set up linkage, as simple as the automation above, you only need to add the trigger condition in the creation of a custom automation [when the humidity is lower than 30%] Turn on the humidifier.
Voice assistant interoperability settings
This function is mainly useful for friends who have multiple voice devices at home,Like I usually use a small love speaker in the living roomProAnd AppleTVInterTV or mobile phone,In the guest room, it is tmall elf,In the master bedroom, it is used againAIThe speaker,In order to control all the equipment in the living room、Master bedroom、The guest room can control all the equipment, so I studied this method。
The first step is to deploy a Home Assistant on the NAS, as shown in my previous article on deploying a Home assitant.
After installing Home Assistant, you can synchronize the smart products on the Mi Home platform to Apple's Home, and Siri is implemented to control the devices on the Mi Home platform, but if you want each device to control each other's voice, you need to install a Bafa Cloud plug-in at Home Assisstant.
If you have HACS installed, you can search for "bemfa" directly in HACS to install, because I don't have an internet environment, so I can only follow the steps below.
Download the zip package from github, copy the custom_components/bemfa directory to the custom_components directory of the HA configuration, and restart Home Assistant.
Go to the Home assistant background, click [Configuration] - [Add Integration] and search for "bemfa" in the search box
Click Install, and a window will pop up for us to enter the private key of Bafa Cloud.
Let's register an account on Bafa Cloud and log in to see this private key, copy and paste it into the pop-up window just now.
If you can see the Bemfa plugin in the configuration menu, it means that the installation is successful.
Click on the option here to select the device on the Home assistant,Here you need to synchronize it one by one,You can't choose it at one time,Name the device name here and the setting is complete,The next thing is to set it up on the tmall elf and Xiaoai speaker。
If you want tmall elf voice control of devices that are not on your own platform,Search for "Bafa Cloud" on the home page,Then enter the account binding,You can see the device that was synced in just now。
Click on the corresponding equipment and go in, choose a good location, category and name him a name,So that you can turn on the bedside lamp in my master bedroom by calling tmall elf,Turn on the bedside lamp in my master bedroom。
Similarly, if you need to use Xiao Ai's voice to control the devices of other platforms, you also need to bind this Bafa cloud, and then synchronize the device into it.
If you want Siri to control it, you only need to install HomeKit Bridge on top of Home Assistant
Then select [Add or Scan Accessories] in the upper right corner of the Home on the Apple phone, scan the QR code that pops up in the notification on the left side of the Home assistant or manually enter the pairing code on it to complete.
After the addition is completed, it looks like this, and you can also add automation settings in it. To this point, all the voice assistants that can be operated by voice at home can operate the connected smart home appliances,Just shout Xiaoai、Tmall elf、SiriIt is very convenient to control devices on different platforms,If it is a small degree, it can also be accessed according to the above method,Unfortunately, due to Xiaoai speakerProInfrared remote control function,It can only be controlled by Xiaoai's voice control,Tmall elf and Siri cannot be operated by voice through the above methods。
