What would be the scenario if two teams were involved in a debate that made smart home life easier or more complicated?
If this debate race started before the turn of the century, it is highly likely that there will be no cure for it. Until 1999, China had not yet produced a manufacturer specializing in smart home furnishing, only one or two smart home agents engaged in import and export business in Shenzhen, Most users are living in Europe and the United States users.
If this debate took place in the early five years of this century, is likely to be the square victory.In recent years, China has set up more than 50 smart home R & D and manufacturing enterprises, mainly in the north and Guangzhou and Shenzhen and other large cities, smart home The concept is gradually familiar to the people.
After 5 years, the pattern is reversed.The brutal growth of enterprises, exaggerated promotional marketing, so that encountered "indiscriminate bombing" has long been a user gradually realized that smart home thunderstorms little effect of publicity almost all reached The market growth slowed down or even declined.
Nowadays, the smart home industry has reached a new round of development: in a survey covering seven countries, 51% of overseas consumers showed strong interest in smart home, almost at the same level as mobile payment. Smart home industry survey data show that in 2016 the US smart home market capacity of 9.7125 billion US dollars, China is 520 million US dollars.
Square: let the smart home to change life
Fu Yingxuan and Wang Guanghui, who just finished renovating the house last year, recently succeeded in avoiding the contradiction that every couple would often face - after dinner, who went to wash the dishes?
This is all the credit for the new smart home.Fu Ying Xuan said the new purchase of smart dishwasher to solve the problem of who is washing dishes, is to solve the contradictions within the family. Sweeping robots also solved the two cats at home hair loss And the family conflict that causes.Now, there are fingerprints in the door, no need to dig the key.Happy feeling, she described life as becoming more intelligent.
Wang Guanghui is to buy smart phones, fell into the smart home 'pit' in the new Apple phone, comes with software to control the home refrigerator, air conditioners and other smart appliances.While understanding this feature, he suddenly realized that life The original can be more convenient.
From people's push back to the smart home, it is easy to see the identity and characteristics of potential users.Weibo user 'A de de mom' put forward specific requirements for smart refrigerators.She hopes that the smart refrigerator can set up maternal and child area, There are separate areas dedicated to storing breast milk, but also have a special save dumplings, wonton space, and the temperature of hair sprouts, yogurt fermentation area. The best kitchen also has a smart alarm clock and smart display, while setting safe working hours, while the drag Live your child's attention and liberate the housewife.
Wang Guanghui has positive and realistic expectations for the future of smart home: home, press the fingerprints, open the door for a moment, the robot came out to put the slippers in front of us, the shoes replaced after the shoes on the shoe rack. He Say that the best way to smart home is to do smart work according to your own life setting.
Many more smart home products, Fu Ying Xuan and Wang Guanghui found that many times, they are still not smart enough. '' Before looking at the Internet, sweeping the robot go can be a regular, which room can come, but my family's robot Feeling a bit silly, has been around in circles, after going to another place to go back and forth in a circle. 'WangGuanHui the most troublesome is that smart robot walking will be dragging the power cord on the ground around, must rely on artificial Unlock.
However, this can not quench their longing for the future of intelligent life.Now, Fu Ying Xuan and Wang Guanghui most want to buy is the smart curtains.'While awakened by the alarm clock and the sun was awakened mood is not the same. Summer dawn earlier, more than 5:00 when the smart curtains automatically opened, the sun shines for an hour you get up again, feeling completely different. 'Wang Guanghui said.
The opposite side: the most traditional is the most reliable
Xu Jingbo, a university teacher, put his friend's sweeping robot idle.
In addition to easy to encounter things, noise, dead ends, and other common problems, Xu Jingbo said the biggest problem is that, obviously, to save energy and the use of sweeping robot, with a few times have to manually put the dust box Clean up to the trash, but made a gray, than to clean up the traditional brooms also embarrassed.
Xu Jingbo said that at home, microwave ovens, refrigerators, there will be some intelligent elements.But parents advise them to buy the cheapest to buy microwave oven, the map is a simple operation. 'Better microwave oven or oven, which should be adjusted The function is especially annoying.
Xu Jingbo is not cold on the flagship multi-functional promotion.He said, like mobile phones, many home appliances more than 90% of the functions are not used, it is useless technology addition.He is using the new Siemens washing machine at home, he often I miss the simplicity of the previous touchscreen washing machine. "It has a computer inside, and sometimes the computer is awkward and somehow it has something under its control.
Xu Jingbo bluntly, most of the time, life does not need such an exquisite standard, the pursuit is a convenience. How much washing machine put clothes should be calculated, then not tired?
Most dishwashers require the user to remove the solid debris before placing the utensils into the machine. 'Have you washed the solid residue and cleaned it? Turn around? 'Xu Jingbo said a lot of dishwasher users Tucao doubts.
Yu Son, who lives in Suzhou, is a novice mom who is also a dance teacher.She has been very interested in smart home, but gradually abandoned after the real research - the kitchen is too small, can not let go of the dishwasher; sweeping robot not only may hurt her daughter , May also make her lose the fun of manually mopping the floor.

According to the report, when adding WiFi remote control functions, multiple programs such as unlocking, opening an App, selecting an operation, are too cumbersome in the context of indoor use scenarios, and at the same time, many products have not been improved in practical application. Unintelligent, "but added the non-just-needed functionality to the" semi-finished product. "Poor user experience hit consumers' enthusiasm.
Microblogging users' firm not good skin 'on the Weibo Tucao a smart drinking cup.' There is a cup, 558 yuan, a huge volume than my refiner are large. Two special features, even the App Can record the number of liters of drinking water, testing the water quality (no purification function.) Yes, the lid is not sealed, can not be reversed. 'She questioned: actually there is such a scene without demand through the assessment, and put into production, but also Really produced it, she exclaimed: 'This is not a smart home, it is forced smart home.'
Weibo users 'monkey treasure' of a microblogging to praise the number of more than 100. He said that at home too many smart home, resulting in the Internet paralyzed, the original feeling of the moment gone, the TV can not open, the song can not hear, the rice Cook cooked.He suddenly found that the most traditional home products is the most reliable.
