[Summary] Maybe you think the $298 socket is a bit expensive, and this one is not enough, but it is actually a good reason: Support for HomeKit is actually its expensive capital.
Tencent Digital (Du Jie) "Smart outlets can't use mobile phones to remotely control home appliances, nothing new!"
This is the first reaction of most colleagues to see the OPSO socket, indeed, from the appearance of this guy did not give a fresh feeling, say Apple's HomeKit platform has been announced for a year and a half, this time the launch of new products is difficult It was stained with the apple's official light. But the actual situation is that this late smart socket has a lot of new ideas, as HomeKit products, it really has a lot of Apple's tune.
Thick apple wind
First of all, this box is very thoughtful and there are more Apple fans. You can notice that the printing of product pictures on the box is exactly the same as the previous iPhone packaging.
After opening the box, a simple package of instructions, the lower level is a flat product, and even the semi-circular opening in the instructions, is simply the body of the iPhone box. If you still don't believe it, look at the package of the OPSO outlet. Well, anyone who has personally opened an Apple product can find a familiar feeling.
Let's take a look at this socket design, which is completely unobtrusive to the Apple product. The boxy shape is a bit like the MacBook Pro charger. There is only a 5 hole GB jack on the front and a circular power switch on the top. The maximum supported current is 10A. In addition, there is only a small house LOGO, which seems to imply that this is a product that is compatible with the HomeKit standard.
Pairing seems to be simple for Apple Watch
Apple and Apple-compatible accessories have one thing in common that is easy to connect and use.
Plug the OPSO into the wall plug or socket. The LOGO of the front small house is actually a power/status indicator. Then the socket can be found in iPhone's "home" application (Bluetooth must be turned on at a short distance). The specific number on the scanner body can be added and the entire process takes less than 2 seconds, much like pairing with an Apple Watch.
After the addition, the socket appears on the home screen and shows the real-time status. Interestingly, every time you click on/off on the screen, the socket itself will emit a slight “clickâ€. People are particularly practical. After all, usually the outlet is not near you. To receive a voice feedback when operating the mobile phone is like saying, "Received!"
In addition, you can also set a scenario to collectively operate a bunch of appliances or products. For example, I set up a scenario where "the day of a single dog begins." Then I received the desk lamp, the computer, and the water supply of the kettle from the OPSO. When I arrived at the company, I clicked the button of this scene. , it will quickly enter the working state, ah, forced to still have.
Of course, there is a faster way, that is Siri. Just say to the iPhone that "Single Dog's Day begins." Siri will soon recognize it, and then you will find that the set scene has entered the open mode: the lamp is on, the computer is on, and the kettle is boiling - - You can do this even while the iPhone is on the screen.
Being able to operate via Siri voice is actually a big advantage of HomeKit products. In general, the entry level of smart homes is relatively deep, most of them require the support of specific apps, and even need to enter WeChat or QQ. The complexity of operations will reduce the effect of user experience, and even if it is too long, it will be abandoned. However, the method of using voice is very intuitive, and “嗨Siri†does not even need to press any buttons. This experience is very much in line with the use of smart homes, and it is also a great advantage of HomeKit and OPSO products.
Hardware ecological chain is an advantage and also a compulsion...
Of course, Apple's hardware ecological chain is relatively strong. The control of smart sockets is not a patent for the iPhone. Apple Watch and the iPad are also seen as copies. Of course, Apple's hardware ecological chain runs through iCloud, so as long as you log in to your iCloud account, you will automatically see connected hardware and scenarios in the "home" app of other devices.
Apple Watch is relatively simple to use. The connected accessories and settings will appear in Apple Watch's "home" app. There is no other operation than clicking. Think of a wrist to control your home appliances. It is really Home essential, out of the equipment X a weapon.
However, the iPad is not "like goods" anymore, so to speak, if you want to remotely control the OPSO, you must have an Apple TV or iPad, which is not optional in China.
In the iPad's "Home" setting, you can see the "Use as Home Hub" switch that allows you to automate the OPSO remotely and automatically turn on/off the OPSO by changing the location or time.
You can set such a scene, such as leaving the home in the morning to automatically turn off the air conditioning, or automatically turn on the lights at sunset, and so on. So the idea of ​​HomeKit is to set the scene automatically, instead of remote manual remote control - manual remote control is a relatively low operation. Of course, if you really need manual operation, you must also use the iPad as a hub. However, I experimented with using the iPad to remotely control the OPSO remotely using the iPhone. This is slightly delayed. This is, of course, compared to direct local operations. This delay is perfectly acceptable.
Although HomeKit's automation logic is more in line with life scenarios, the cost of using an iPad as a hub is relatively large. This matter can be solved through an app or a smart router. HomeKit is obviously the best in experience and the price is second only. For families without an iPad, it will certainly not buy a 2,000-yuan iPad for a 298-megabyte smart socket. But if there is no iPad, do you think that the socket that cannot be controlled remotely is still a smart home product?
Summary: You are worth it
Maybe you think the $298 socket is a bit expensive, and this one is not enough (by the way, this thing is on sale in the Apple Store today), but it is actually a good reason: support for HomeKit is actually expensive. The capital, which means it can interact with all Apple mobile devices, means that it can be manipulated via Siri voice, meaning it has high security standards and an optimized user experience. Today, when smart home devices have been crippled, the OPSO smart sockets give me the impression that they are “slowly working†and belong to the type of products that “have used to know wellâ€.
