七款最實用的智能家居設備
????這個小東西比皮克斯動畫工作室(Pixar)的電影《機器人總動員》(Wall-E)中的監控機器人EVE更加可愛,但它監控的不是植物,而是漏水和發霉現象。SNUPI Technologies的Wally配備了很多感應器,你可以把它們放在房子周圍的任何地方,用來監控溫度、水分和濕度。感應器一旦發現漏水情況,就會對你發出警報。如果它們發現外界有任何情況超出了合理范圍,也會向你報警,這樣你就能在水管結冰或干板墻發霉前防患于未然。 ????溫度控制:Aros智能窗式空調(279美元) |
????This little guy is cuter than the surveillance robot EVE from the Pixar film Wall-E, but it detects water leaks and mold instead of vegetation. SNUPI Technologies’ Wally comes with sensors that you can place anywhere around your house to monitor temperature, moisture and humidity. The sensors send you an alert when they detect leaks. If they find anything outside of an acceptable range they also send you an alert so you can fix the problem before it causes major damage like frozen pipes or mold beneath the drywall. ????Temperature Control: Aros Smart Window Air Conditioner ($279) |
????對于那些沒有中央空調卻想要智能制冷,或是只想讓一個房間變得涼快以節省能耗的人來說,由Quirky和通用電氣公司(GE)聯手開發的Aros窗式空調能滿足他們的所有需求。真的。它不僅可以追蹤你的生活習慣,了解到你想什么時候開始制冷,還能追蹤你的使用習慣,給出調整設置的建議來幫你省錢。它還可以利用手機的全球定位系統,在你離家或回家時自動關機或開機,這樣當你進門時,家里就能有讓你滿意的溫度。 ????烹飪:Crock-Pot智能慢燉鍋(129.99美元) ????The Crock-Pot公司推出的這款慢燉鍋,搭載了貝爾金公司(Belkin)的WeMo無線開關系統,幾乎不需要你進行控制。你只需要把食物放進去,設定烹飪溫度,就可以利用你的手機在全球任何地方監控烹飪過程了。你可以遠程改變慢燉鍋的設定,比如提高溫度或者增加烹飪時間。無論你在哪里,何時回家,都可以保證熱氣騰騰的晚餐在等著你。它不能像三星智能冰箱一樣讓你發微博或查看谷歌日歷,但當晚餐正在等待你大快朵頤的時候,誰會有空做這些事呢?(財富中文網) ????譯者:嚴匡正 |
????For people who want smart cooling without central air, or who just want to switch over to cooling a single room to cut down on energy costs, the Aros window unit by Quirky and GE covers all your bases. Really! Not only does it track your routine and learn when you want to get your cool on, it also tracks your usage and suggests how to adjust the settings so you can save money. It can also automatically turn itself off when you leave and turn back on as you near home - based on your phone's GPS - so it’s the perfect temperature when you walk in the door. ????Cooking: Crock-Pot Smart Slow Cooker ($129.99) ????This slow cooker brought to you by The Crock-Pot and Belkin WeMo barely needs you. Just put the food in, set the temperature, and then monitor the cooking from anywhere in the world with your phone. You can change the crock pot's settings remotely— to turn the heat up or add more cooking time. No matter where you are and when you get home, you can make sure dinner will be warm and waiting for you. It doesn’t let you tweet or check Google calendar like Samsung’s infamous smart fridge, but then who has the time for all that, when dinner is waiting? |
