The world is very strange, before the smart home industry has not really mature, people are constantly looking for smart home control center, trying to advance layout in this promising field. Of course, this "gamble" is worthy of recognition, we have also to experience the era of change may be the product of intelligent existence "subversive." Remote control, which can be considered a small home appliances control things often come into contact with our lives, especially infrared remote control has been born for many years, because of its simple design, low production cost, easy to use, low power consumption so that the high-speed hardware development today, infrared remote control are still widely used, and large and small, different types of remote control of our lives has become a very troublesome thing, a lot of my friends are forgetful when needed rummaging through the remote control find, if at this time we only need one remote control to control all appliances that nice, so many manufacturers have developed compatible with the current infrared remote control smart home control center products, a great "one in the hand, and the world I have a "domineering.
Today we take a look at love board network recently got a fruit Ai intelligent home control gadgets, called "pole egg", as the name, like most of an egg.
Open the packaging, like the shape of a duck, great delight, but the whole product looks full of cheap plastic feel, really a kind of "Egg sadness."
Eggs are extremely low power Bluetooth communication connection 4.0, and many different currently available solutions using WiFi intelligent remote control products, because of their low power Bluetooth technology, so that the entire egg is no external power supply interface very simply by two internal 1.5V battery-powered 7 can, both to maintain long-term aspects of life can replace the battery, this design compared to WiFi is a very big advantage, but in the distance communication, it is without WiFi smart remote control program, and it can be said that both advantages and disadvantages.
Some of the eggs very simple argument:
Operating voltage: 3V DC
Infrared emission distance: 10m
Connection: Bluetooth 4.0
Bluetooth connectivity Distance: 20m (indoor), 50m (outdoor)
Size: 28mm * 45.5mm * 64mm
IoT development board recommended:
MCIMX6SX a demonstration board based on ARM Cortex-A9 i.MX 6SoloX a processor for IoT (the IoT) connected home and vehicle applications.
EFM32GG development kit provides a desired IoT development board based on the CMOS sensor or the like for detecting the movement member, temperature and humidity.
WunderBar development kit was used to create an Android or iOS application and networking with Bluetooth low energy (BLE) development board is connected to the main module.
Use extreme egg is extremely simple, and today's smart products, download the APP, very out of the bottom of the egg to start the insulation sheet pole eggs.
Turn on Bluetooth on your phone, open the APP, will automatically search for matching pole eggs.
APP interface very egg figure is very simple, the other is also equipped with graphic operator guidance and instructions, very intimate.
Looked under the APP species supported by product type, is really all-encompassing, that it really exaggerated.
APP data from the cloud, unlike a lot of intelligent remote control only to learn when infrared control, and then used to re-use. Pole eggs APP built more than 16 categories of home appliances, 800 kinds of brands, more than 4000 of the remote cloud data without IR learning can easily be matched to home appliances. For example, the company used by the US central air conditioning, direct brand found in the appropriate model to use, very convenient, but also in the air conditioning also has a user interface APP ECO option, but intelligent thermostat, so that the room has been kept to a minimum appropriate temperature.

However, after all cloud data have limitations, in my house early one Skyworth TV can not search directly to the model, you can use the IR learning needs.
Further, there are very egg APP corresponding status can be viewed very eggs charge and the temperature and Bluetooth signal quality.
APP in more features include application scenarios, intelligent timer, call mute and indoor positioning, call mute and indoor positioning is quite novel, in fact, is an active indoor positioning trigger scene by ibeacon distance sensing capabilities, such as the user's home At the same time to open the home mode, when entering the bedroom at night can trigger the automatic sleep mode, but the distance is not so accurate after all, the actual experience may appear false triggering phenomenon, but for the author, these are considered natural and eggs function, intelligent remote control, it sounds very good, I did not imagine the actual experience is so good, of course, this is not very fruit for Ai eggs, but all I used intelligent remote control, with a few times, you will not mind continue to be used.
Dismantle
After a very simple function of experience over the eggs, meal inevitable dismemberment. Egg To replace the battery very aspect, the lid is designed to resemble the bottom of the turnbuckle structure, disassembly is very good. Of course, only in the bottom of the cover and the need to replace the battery when the pole is necessary to remove the reset eggs, egg itself for disassembled very much use.
The overall structure of the egg is extremely secured by a snap and a small amount of glue, use brute force to open the point, a kind of "broken egg" feeling, very egg internal circuit, then you can not say to a friend is a simple state, Of course, this is also reasonable.
Board honest more like a Bluetooth module, is extremely simple, clear board device, mainly low power Bluetooth Soc CC2541 + SPI FLASH 4Mb + SM816 + chip infrared remote infrared emission diode combination.

Ti CC2541 is a highly eggs used in the more common low-power Bluetooth single-chip Soc, also appeared on the network disassembled love board smart terminal product several times, is not a secret.
Ti CC2541 incorporates an enhanced 8051 MCU, integrated programmable internal system memory, 8KB RAM, support 250kbps, 500kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps four rates output, integrated Bluetooth is a low-power solution 4.0. In addition, CC2541 low power consumption is the bright spot, having a low standby power, low peak emission / receiving power characteristics, and fast response characteristic is connected (less than 3ms) and the like, has a unique advantage in specific applications , For instance in the market to find things Bluetooth anti lost product or wearable device art (heart rate monitor, a pedometer, etc.), medical testing field (blood pressure meter, thermometer, etc.) and the like.
Ti familiar with Bluetooth low energy product line CC2540 friends certainly no stranger to another, just from the name, the user can perceive the basic necessary connection of these two products, in fact, little difference between CC2540 and CC2541, and even some a case where the two products may be implemented in hardware is compatible, this is to be understood, reference to the following FIG clear pin definitions.
When not in use I2C or USB interface, CC2540 and CC2541 can be said PIN-TO-PIN compatible. In addition, the power consumption, CC2541 has some advantages:
TX: CC2541 18.2mA @ 0dBm, CC2540 27mA @ 0dBm (0dBm = 1mW)
RX: CC2541 @ 17.9mA, CC2540 @ 19.6mA
Although the two products are fully supports the latest Bluetooth protocol stack, but only supports the CC2540 Bluetooth low energy system, and additional support can be CC2541 RF system of 2.4G. As for prices, both of which have zero price difference a few dollars, are integrated with 128KB on-chip program memory, for example, is greater than the amount of the price quote 5K Ti official website of the United States are the CC2540 -1.95 knife, CC2541-1.79 dollar.
Complete dismantling extremely eggs, we can see that the hardware design simple applications based on Bluetooth low energy product is very simple, and manufacturers are more and more on the phone APP and cloud data similar in design to the product of the time a lot of effort, after the Internet age, insight into people's needs, providing an irreplaceable user experience is the future core competitive power of smart home products. Of course, this always depends on the current era of color values, designs smart home products, especially the choice of materials is extremely important that perspective, in order to become the control center of the intelligent home, While the road is still very long way to go egg.
