Hollow door no longer afraid! Wulian smart home suite evaluation

[PConline evaluation] Smart home is one of the topics of people in recent years, especially for traditional home appliance manufacturers, it is a new and innovative challenge. Here is also popular with everyone, the so-called smart home is nothing more than to allow you to keep abreast of the real-time information at home, but also allows you to play with a variety of cool technology tides, such as the use of technology to change the quality of your sleep, Living room vision and so on, let your life bid farewell to sub-health can be more convenient to use in your life. Today, our PConline evaluation room will bring you a smart wulian smart housekeeping device with a security protection as its core.

Since smart homes have only just begun, most of today's smart home products are remotely controlled by connecting mobile phones. The complete composition of such a system is roughly Device + Gateway + Cloud + Mobile App. Most smart home products that appear on the market use ZigBee technology. This is a close-range, low-complexity, low-power, low-speed, low-cost two-way wireless communication technology that is very suitable for smart home products. So let's take a look at the same thing based on the ZigBee technology of the smart home smart package can bring us some surprises.

I got the impression that this device gives people the impression that although they know it is a smart home, but it is not exactly what kind of equipment. From the package point of view it is also difficult to see what kind of equipment, hard paper box packaging is not very beautiful. Unpack the boxes, including the gateway host, power adapter, base, warranty card, and instructions for use.

The WL Home Intelligence Suite consists of four products, which are gateways, infrared intrusion detectors, door and window magnetic detectors, and single-head side infrared transmitters. Can be said to be a variety of smart devices designed for different scenarios, it still looks quite interesting.

What makes the author more depressed is why the four-piece smart device is not uniform in one color. The manufacturer may consider various application scenarios or consider the symmetry of home use. In short, the author is a little confused. From the appearance, in addition to the gateway and the detector, the other two are a bit like the feeling of a gyro. The author will introduce one by one to you

WL Gateway 02

The WL Gateway looks like the size of the router we use, and it is made of dark A-polyurethane plastic. There is a slightly smelly odor in the opening box. The author does not elaborate here. Understand!Original friends all understand! WL Gateway 02 adopts IEEE802.15.4 (ZigBee/SmartRoom) communication method, and the communication distance can be up to 1000 meters under visible conditions. This distance is definitely more than enough for home use. Now. The net weight of the gateway is only 160g, which is very light and portable.

WL Gateway 02

WL Gateway 02 only supports wired connections. Careful friends will find that there is a WIFI indicator and a TF memory card slot on the gateway host. Does this not mean that it also supports WIFI connection? Here, I just want to say, I think so too! With such a small page of instructions, I saw it several dozen times, and I did not see an introduction to both. Later learned that WIFI and TF card slots are for the next version of the gateway. I feel that I was playing wood for a moment? In addition, the micro USB interface is not described in the specification, and personal testing has confirmed that the gateway can be powered through the micro USB interface, which makes the gateway power supply more flexible.

WL Gateway 02

Summary: The gateway is the most important part of the Internet of Things system. It is similar to the human system's central nervous system. It is mainly responsible for ZigBee wireless networking and interacts with Ethernet networks. Between the gateway and the terminal equipment is connected through the ZigBee wireless network connection, and the connection between the mobile phone and the gateway is through the Ethernet cloud connection, so the connection between the mobile phone and the gateway is not limited. As for the gateway specification, I believe that Nanjing In later products, these problems will be noticed and corrected in time.

WL Door and Window Magnetic Detector

The box includes a detector, a CR2 battery, mounting screws, and double-sided tape for fixing. The instructions and warranty card are also included. Packaging without screws, under normal circumstances, red double-sided tape can be fixed, after all, the product itself is very light.

WL door and window magnetic detector internal structure

WL magnetic detector door and window is a very small device, install the battery and press the function key, you need to open the fuselage. We can see that its internal structure is still very simple. It is installed on the windows and doors, and when someone breaks in, it immediately sends an alert to the mobile phone through the gateway. Its communication distance can reach up to 100m (under visual conditions), net weight 112g, and is powered by only one CR2 battery. Thanks to ZigBee technology and its power saving, everyone will not have to worry about whether such a small battery needs to be replaced frequently.

WL infrared intrusion detector

The WL infrared intrusion detector is similar to the door and window magnetic detector in that it senses humans or animals within the detectable range by infrared rays. Its communication distance with the gateway is 100m. At a height of 3m, the detection radius can reach 3m (visual conditions), and it is also powered by a CR2 battery.

WL single head side infrared transmitting device

The WL single-head side-fired infrared transponder device is roughly the same in size and shape as the WL infrared intrusion detector, but there are some structural differences only because of different functions. The accessories are a CR2 battery, magnetic base and screws, and there is a patent card in addition to the manual and warranty card.

The WL single-headed side infrared transmitting device can be linked with a plurality of infrared devices to replace the remote controller. The remote control can be realized through the intelligent terminal. Even if the person is thousands of miles away, the control is in the palm of the hand. As long as you set up a home product that you want to control remotely, such as air conditioners, televisions, etc., you can use your mobile phone to complete the operations you want no matter where you are.

Smart Home App

If the gateway-like system's central nervous system is responsible for information processing, then the mobile-side smart home app is responsible for receiving commands and performing corresponding actions. If there is less mobile-side app, less information-receiving tools will be provided. It is useless. Smart Home App also adapts Android and IOS two systems, as long as in each application store search for "smart home" or scan the two-dimensional code on the smart home products box can be downloaded to the corresponding App.

Software icon and start interface

Login screen

Software icons and interfaces are all approaching the current aesthetic style. They are mainly simple and pure, and they are also comfortable to watch. Only login into the gateway will have more settings options (Android terminal software interface and IOS terminal is a little different, please pay attention to it), gateway ID can be found behind the gateway body, manually enter or scan QR code, The default password is the last six digits of the gateway ID. You dare to believe that this is not actually in the manual, I am drunk, such an important message!

Smart Home App Home

Terminal device connection gateway

Once you log in to the gateway, you will be taken out of the home page. The menu is not complicated. Almost all functions are found in the primary menu. According to the instructions in the instructions, connect the three terminal devices to the gateway and join the ZigBee network. The smart home app can add connected devices in time and perform corresponding classification so as to be easily found when there are many terminal devices.

Alarm animation interface (accompanied by human voice alert)

Turn on the smart home app and keep it running in the background. In the case of network patency, when the connected device alarm is triggered, the mobile phone notification bar will immediately pop up an alarm message, accompanied by a corresponding female voice prompt “infrared sensor alarm”, “window magnetic sensor alarm” and so on. The vocals will stop after a few repetitions. Of course, you can also manually stop the alarm.

Alarm information record

Smart Home App will record every alarm information and display them in the order of date and time. The accidental missed or ignored alarm information can be easily accessed here.

Infrared repeater learning function

The learning control function of the WL single-head side-fired infrared transponder is required to complete the operation through the smart home app, and the operation is also very convenient, without consuming too much learning cost. Through the smart home app, you can customize the name of the key, even after learning a lot of keys, it can be well separated, and will not be mistakenly controlled.

Equipment Management

Smart Home App supports manual searching, adding, and deleting devices. It also supports NFC adding devices. It also supports corresponding monitoring and video recording equipment. With the help of cameras, the protection of home security will increase greatly. Unfortunately, there is no corresponding hand. Monitoring equipment.

Scene settings

Scene settings

Not only that, Smart Home App has the ability to set up quick scenes, depending on the different scenarios to choose which devices need to alarm, those who do not need. For example, when you are not at home, you need to turn all devices on and you don't need some equipment alarms when you get home. You can set a separate mode, so that you do not need to repeatedly turn on and off the related devices. In addition to the manual switching, the method of switching the scene mode can also be switched at regular intervals and shake and shake, so that it is more convenient to implement quick operation without opening the app. Reasonable application of scene mode can avoid receiving alarm information at an inappropriate time and interfere with your normal life.

Summary: The Smart Home App connects all terminal devices together so that users can receive alarm messages and perform different settings on their mobile phones. Its function has been quite perfect, and has added many humanized settings, such as quick scenes, intelligent device classification, alarm information records, and so on. Because the mobile phone terminal directly connects to the gateway through the Internet, the mobile phone control is not limited by distance. Now, 3G and 4G are very widely distributed, and there should not be much impact on the information delay.

Here we look through the actual test to see the specific functions of these three accessories are like? Is it true that we have to take appropriate measures to protect our families?

WL Door and Window Magnetic Detector Test

Test purpose: to determine the alarm delay of WL window magnetic detector

Test description: Because there is no direct connection between the mobile phone terminal and the magnetic detector, but through the gateway to achieve connection through the Internet, the delay situation of the alarm information received only depends on the network status of the gateway and the mobile phone.

Test environment: The door and window magnetic detectors are installed on the door, and the gateway is placed in the next room and connected to the cable network. The mobile phone accesses the WIFI network and puts it together with the door and window magnetic sensors for observation.

Test results: From the above video, we can see that the delay from the triggering of the alarm to the receipt of the alarm by the mobile phone is almost negligible. Because the amount of data of alarm information is very small, the delay in the general network state is very small and it is within the acceptable range.

Summary: WL magnetic detector doors and windows, small size, fully-equipped. Through the connection with the gateway, once the doors and windows are opened, they can be fed back to the gateway in time, and then the gateway sends alarm information through the Internet to the mobile phone app, allowing you to respond in a timely manner. Therefore, this is absolutely necessary for home security.

WL infrared intrusion detector test

Once or twice the test is not enough to explain what, the author directly to a number of tests, please see the following table:

WL Infrared Detector Reminder Function Measured The first time The second time The third time The fourth time The fifth time The sixth time The seventh time Yes No No No Yes No Yes

In the test process, the effect is very general. People do not alarm within 3m of the proximity of the sensor. After repeated measurements, the recognition rate still needs to be improved.

Summary: WL infrared intrusion detector body is only a single button, is the "Set" button in the above figure, complete the settings by clicking, long-press or different number of combos. The manual also has detailed instructions. It is also very simple to use. There will be no case of getting the product but not knowing how to set it up. The use of WL infrared intrusion detectors in conjunction with WL windows and doors magnetic detectors will inevitably have better results.

WL single head side infrared transmitting device

Hot summer is coming. Imagine how easy it would be to open the home air-conditioner on your mobile phone when you get off work, and enjoy the cool environment when you get home! But now I don't need to imagine anything. This can really be!

In the process of our testing, the forwarding device can usually achieve normal control, but it usually has a delay of 1~2s. If the network condition is unstable, it will occasionally cause no response. Overall, the situation is still optimistic, but it is still necessary to strengthen its stability, because only its control accuracy and stability are guaranteed, can it be used in normal life, and it is believed that it will be further improved in future products. .

Summary: The strength of the WL single-head side-fired infrared transponder is the ability to learn the control behavior of the remote control, and then replace the remote control to complete the appropriate control. At the same time, the gateway can interconnect with the mobile phone on the Internet, so that the control distance is not limited by the distance and is more powerful than the remote control. After work, turn on the air conditioner and pre-prepared rice cookers and microwave ovens through your mobile phone. You can enjoy dinner in your cool home when you get home. Think about it all!

Edit Comment: Smart home is the next two years, another hot topic of wearable devices, from the current situation, smart home can really achieve control of smart appliances or bring better service to users is still relatively vague. This WL smart device that has been guarding the family seems to be an anti-theft measure device, but precisely this seemingly simple and practical can indeed add a solid chain to our warm home is the user's needs.
