Home intelligence is basically a necessary choice for every family in the future, there are currently two sets of solutions on the market, one is through a single brand ecology or intelligent ecological alliance to complete the intelligent construction of the user's home, and the other is through the intelligent gateway + intelligent equipment + auxiliary equipment + traditional home appliances to complete the planned upgrading.
It just so happened that the author transformed the smart curtain and smart infrared for his parents some time ago, and it just so happened that these two products were from Oribo's products, and they happened to lack a "commander" to realize the operation of the commander. It can be seen from the outer packaging of the product that it is also a smart gateway product that can be incorporated into APP management, and the design is as large as an ordinary wall opening, and the accessories only have fixing screws and instructions.
By looking at the appearance of the product, you can see that it is a product that combines intelligence with traditional operation. On the left is a 3.27-inch full-color touchscreen display, and on the right, three buttons can control each of the three sets of power on and off. Although the overall appearance of the product adopts an all-plastic design, it gives people a very tough design appearance, and the design of the moist corners also makes the overall curve softer in the excess. The simple and stylish design perfectly balances tradition and technology.
Through the look around the Ou Ruibo elf intelligent switch, you can see that the English logo of the product is printed on the right side, and there is also a Type-C interface at the bottom, according to the manual, for novice users, the equipment can be powered on through it to achieve test commissioning, and after the setting is completed, it will be installed on the power on.
By looking at the base of the wizard smart switch, you can see that there are 5 wire input ports on its back, which are L1, L2, and L3 for the switch, L live wire for mains input, and N wire for circuit receipt. This line configuration is very different from the traditional switch and plug-in board with only zero live wire.
In many old houses, because there were no intelligent electrical products before, the walls basically only had zero fire and double lines. In this case, if you want to complete the switch upgrade, you need to call in an electrician, and you can install it by adding a separate line for lighting control in the pipe. Since the author was ready to upgrade and intelligentize in the early stage, the lines in the wall have been sorted out by the electrician master before they can be installed smoothly. Because this area is only a dual-control design, the L3 is vacant here, and it can be disassembled and added if necessary in the future.
Since the intelligent gateway adopts the design of separating the upper and lower plates, after installing the bottom, the upper cover plate can be latched on it and buckled down, and the internal metal contact rubber will activate the panel.
If it is not set up in advance by powering on the panel, a QR code will appear after the panel is powered on, and the user needs to download the intelligent control terminal through the QR code and complete the network binding of the device, and then the existing smart products for self-use can be incorporated into the gateway menu list. Through the automation scene page, users can also realize text instructions to realize action programming, so that the product can operate automatically according to user preferences.
This is the standby interface after the setup is completed, and the user is provided with information about the time, date, day of the week, and weather and temperature under the default interface. At present, the interface is relatively simple, and I don't know if it will open desktop personalized editing in the future, so that it will become more user-friendly under the user's DIY.
By swiping down on the main interface, you can open the virtual button area of the six graphic blocks that users will most commonly use, in this area, users can quickly operate photos, curtains, air conditioners, and scenes by touch, and under the settings button, all internal functions are systematically listed in the form of a list.
Of course, I bought the Oribo elf smart switch is not for touch operation, by politely saying to the gateway "help turn on the lights", "help turn off the lights" can realize the control of the light switch, but it takes a global operation, if you want a single operation, you can call its name and add keywords to open the light operation of a single open and single control.
In terms of curtain control, the syntax is the same, by calling its name in the output demand, the elf smart switch will send instructions to the curtain point machine through the network and complete the task of opening the curtain.
The same is true when the curtains need to be closed, but the key word is changed from on to off. However, in many attempts, no command has been found to support the operation of opening and closing a part of the size, and the existing function only supports the command of opening and closing. It may be possible to improve the functionality at a later stage or by upgrading the system firmware.
In addition, in order to realize the intelligence of all the old equipment that supports infrared control in the old house, I installed the small square infrared module in the area that can cover all the infrared equipment in the living room, and networked the equipment with the elf intelligent switch, and selected the same brand as the home air conditioner through the built-in air conditioning module in the panel and corrected the signal to complete the addition, and then just shout the command to turn on the air conditioner and adjust the temperature to the panel to quickly complete the operation.
However, some minor problems were also found in the actual air conditioning test, that is, the Genie Smart Switch only provides commonly used switch, mode, temperature, wind speed, wind direction and other settings. It is difficult to implement the special modes that will be added by various brands, such as energy-saving mode, health mode, negative ion purification, etc., but it is a situation, and it would be more perfect if you could add additional functions to the remote control.
Here is a simple announcement of the built-in voice commands of the elf smart switch, and the voice-activated content that makes you feel very "mysterious" is actually very simple, and you can basically memorize it by heart just by reciting it a few times.
In addition, you can also see several interesting settings in the function, which is provided in account mode and also provides the function of scanning to quickly join the family classification and location; and in order not to disturb the user's family rest, it also supports the setting of the device's screen off time;and the personalized desktop that the user changes the mood every day, but there are only two things that can be replaced, and I hope there will be more in the future。
Finally, summarize your feelings about the product:
In this era of forward-looking technology, the vast majority of products are considering how to completely replace old products, which makes many middle-aged and elderly groups who are still in the midst of trend change and have a weak ability to accept it at a loss. Oribo Elf Smart Switch, as an innovative product that retains its original intention, combines technology with tradition, so that parents and elders at home have slowly accepted the changes of science and technology, and slowly become free to apply from being at a loss. If you have the same situation as me, you may also get a different effect if you don't bother to try it in the upgrade.
