????各公司正在迅速地推出一系列智能家庭設備，可以讓你用智能手機打開百葉窗或關燈，或是利用你的電冰箱發微博。【感謝三星（Samsung）吧。】

????《財富》（Fortune）雜志仔細研究了一堆新產品，對比了用戶的評論和產品描述，列出了7款市面上最好用的智能家居設備。我們略過了一些流行產品，比如鎖具（可以用智能手機控制開關）和燈泡（可以用智能手機開關或調節其亮度），因為我們沒有在其中看到將自動化和簡潔結合于一體的亮點。以下的產品確實是我們很想擁有的。

????家庭監控：Canary（249美元）

????Companies are quickly introducing an array of smart home appliances that let you use your smartphone to open your blinds or turn off your lights, and, yes, tweet from your fridge. (Thank you Samsung.)

????At Fortune, we waded through the piles of gadgets and gizmos, comparing user reviews and product descriptions, to list seven of the most useful smart home devices on the market. We skipped over some popular products like locks (you can open and close them with your smartphone) and light bulbs (you can turn them on or off or dim them with your phone), because we couldn’t find anything hitting the sweet spot in combining automation with simplicity. Here’s what did make our wish list.

????Home Surveillance: Canary ($249)

????研究公司IHS進行的一項消費者調查發現，人們最想要的智能家居設備需要能夠發現家中的入侵者。排名第二的是一些能夠發現著火、漏水和一氧化碳的設備。初創公司Canary推出的這款產品同時滿足了這兩個要求，可謂一箭雙雕。其光滑的圓柱體中配有高清攝影機、麥克風、運動檢測器，以及溫度與濕度感應器。這款設備也叫做Canary，它能夠在你離家時察覺異常狀況。隨后你會收到附帶錄像片段的警報，還可以選擇處理方式。當你到家時，Canary也會自動改變設置，以免在你晚上想來點牛奶和餅干時，被運動檢測器發現并示警。

????A consumer survey by research firm IHS found that most desired smarthome device is is something that detects intruders. The second is for a device that detect hazards like fires, water leaks, and carbon monoxide. Start-up Canary kills two birds with one machine by packaging an HD video camera, microphone, motion detector, and a temperature and humidity sensor into a sleek cylinder. When the machine, also called Canary, senses something out of the ordinary happening when you’re away from home, you get an alert with video footage and options for responding. Canary, also automatically changes its settings when you get home so the motion detector doesn’t go off when you want some late night milk and cookies.
