Smart light from the user experience to see the development of intelligent lighting

Smart bulbs are the most common smart home products, and even if the use of smart bulbs can not guarantee the ease of use and stability, not to mention more complex smart home appliances. If you do not solve these problems, smart home into the tens of thousands of households for a long time will still be a vision.

A few days ago, a smart home manufacturers to send me a smart light bulb, after returning home, I immediately experienced a few, the following to talk about the user experience. By taking the Mongolia thick gift, Tucao based, so this paper omitted lighting brand.

Just get the light bulb, I am a bit worried, because the impression that the home is equipped with lights, there is no place to install bulbs, but I really want to experience some of this trendy products. Fortunately, finally found a lamp holder in the bathroom, so he used it to replace the original bulb. The following into the formal stage of experience.

After the bulb is installed, the first is the distribution network. There are two types of distribution network - fast connect mode and hot mode. Fast link model. In fact, the situation encountered by the author, the lights turn on the power supply, the light bulb may appear in three states - flash, slow flash and breathing state (light dark transition). Flash mode that can be connected to the fast mode of the distribution network, if not flash mode, then turn off the lights, and then according to the following steps to switch lights: On - off - on - off - open, the light bulb to adjust the state. Note the switch time interval not more than ten seconds. I turn on the lights, the bulb is just in a flash state, so choose the flash mode distribution network.

The specific steps of the distribution network are as follows: open APP, click on the bottom of the column to add the device to select WiFi and enter the password to start the configuration (the hands of the bulb does not support the 5G band WiFi).

Distribution steps

In the configuration process, the bulb is changed into a breath state by the flash, and finally, the light is kept constant. When the lamp is changed to a constant state or the APP interface appears to add a successful word, the lamp has been successfully configured. So far, the author of the distribution process is smooth, but then the problem appeared, APP operating interface has been shown that the device is not online, can not be controlled by the APP bulb.

After the success of the distribution network display device is not online

After a while I found that the APP interface on the upper right corner of a hidden menu, after the opening of the point to find a restore factory settings option, I tried to click on the. Bulb into the initial state, gradually restored to flash state. I tried to connect again, this time very successful. After the bulb is connected, you can click on the device to enter the interface. There are four modes of operation: the white light mode, the color mode, the scene mode and the timing mode. As the name suggests, very good understanding, here will not repeat.

APP control interface has four control modes

As a love to make small series, the author also tried several times with hot mode distribution network, but failed. In fact, even the fast mode has been very convenient, do not understand why manufacturers also add a hot model to make the distribution network becomes more complex.

In the process of using the bulb, the author found that every time you open the APP always need to wait for a while, the phone can be connected to the bulb, the user experience is not good. In addition, the white light mode with the mobile phone APP switch on the light bulb, there will always be 3-5 seconds delay. After the phone APP turn off the light bulb, you can also turn off the switch and then turn on the light bulb, but there will be some delay relative to ordinary bulbs. If you use a switch to turn off the light bulb, the next time you turn on the light bulb, you can only use the switch to operate. That is to say if you turn off the switch before going to sleep, night night still have to find the dark switch.

Delay with APP switch light

Smart bulbs are known as smart bulbs, in addition to networking features, but also because the color and brightness can be adjusted. I set the light bulb into a gorgeous pattern (color changes), and then took a bath in the bathroom. This feeling...... How to say...... Very strange. In fact, I feel that the life of the use of light bulbs are not many features of the scene.

I believe that many people like the author of the smart home equipment is full of curiosity, can not wait to try some. However, the actual experience from the point of view, although the light bulb even more fun to play, to meet the needs of some people, but still will make most people disappointed. First of all, the smart product distribution process is still slightly complicated, and can not be maintained every success, young people may also be willing to toss about, the old man will certainly feel better with ordinary bulbs. Secondly, the use of mobile phones APP smart bulbs have a sense of delay, affecting the user experience. Third, the stability is not enough, occasionally the product off the situation. Fourth, although I do not know the market price of this bulb, but it must be a lot more expensive than ordinary bulbs, and the actual need to use the function of the scene is not enough light bulbs, how many are willing to pay for this is still a question.

Smart bulbs are the most common smart home products, and even if the use of smart bulbs can not guarantee the ease of use and stability, not to mention more complex smart home appliances. If you do not solve these problems, smart home into the tens of thousands of households for a long time will still be a vision.
