Now I will talk about smart sockets, I believe everyone is no longer strange, and no longer curious. This time in the smart home concept has just happened, it is now very mature, and it is also a relatively large product in smart devices, and as the manufacturer will make smart sockets, the more refined, the more cost-effective Many people have begun to reflect, this universal "WiFi + Relay" control plan is a smart socket that everyone expects?
As we all know, in today's home appliance equipment, many electrical appliances are not only affected by the power supply line. Some equipment with higher complexity will need to receive the control command to turn on or off. For example, we must not be in summer. Less partner air conditioners, only power-on is not working, so in this regard, the smart socket of the traditional "WiFi + Relay" program is not competent. However, recently, the pavilion has got a smart socket that can take this job - the metacharmonic I8 designed by the Galaxy Fengyun, this appearance is novel and fashionable, the functional special (only for air conditioning) and unique smart socket At a glance, you can't stop, there is a exploration of the impulse, then, let's learn about this product.
Wukong i8 appearance
When I just received the product, I didn't give me the mood of the fashion, and the front is a simple graphic depiction, and the reverse is some product parameters.
Open the box, the drawer-type packaging damping is moderate, the bottom of the box can slowly slide out very interesting, then we can see the internal accessories: a pre-empty I8, a detailed manual, and warranty card.
Some electrical parameters of Wukong I8:
Input Voltage: 85 ~ 240V AC
Output voltage: 85 ~ 240V AC
Rated frequency: 50 / 60Hz
Maximum load: 3500W
Maximum current: 16A
From the power supply range of Wukong I8 and the maximum power load, it is basically applicable to civil air conditioning for anywhere in the world. Of course, if you are some of the power of more than 3500W, you don't have to consider.
Compared to the traditional smart socket, Wukong i8 is more large, of course, such a reason is why 114mm * 66mm transparent panel is slightly posed from one side and slightly longer than the base, very good protection of air conditioning Plug, the benefits of doing this can prevent children to misunderstand, on the other hand, make the appearance more unique, add the stylish of the product, while the round colorful LED ring is more dark in the night, adding the product. A point of aura.
Let's see the bottom of the product, the base is a 750 ° C high temperature flame retardant ABS material, and the design is simple and clear, a standard triangular air conditioner jack. An infrared transmit terminal and a temperature, the photosensitive sensor opening, and the other end is a RESET button and a sound capture hole.
Speaking of this, you may find some different tastes different from traditional smart sockets. Indeed, Goku I8 has added multiple sensors, and the most of which to feel good is the addition of infrared transceivers, which makes you can via your mobile app At any time, any location opens or closes the air conditioner at any time, which is the smart socket of the traditional "WiFi + Relay" scheme that cannot be multi.
In addition, there may be a relatively confused problem, what is the role of Mac function? According to Members of Wukong I8 team, the temperature, sound, and current sensor (this is informing the I8) These three of these important functions are to accurately feedback on the status of air conditioners, such as: When the remote control controls air conditioners, air conditioners will When you have a drop, Goku I8 grabbed this sound through Mike. At the same time, it can know if the air conditioner is really working in our set temperature, this kind of humanized design from the product subtle experience is Let you feel shocked, heart.
Use
After the preliminary understanding of Wukong i8, we actually experience it, benefited from the design of the product itself, and more detailed manual, we can easily connect, probably three walks: Download the app, configure the network, actual control .
The first connection requires your equipment and mobile phones to enter your WiFi password automatically, and you can change your device name and password after success, so you can better manage. (Next)
After the connection is successful, you have to open your air conditioner through the remote control. The purpose is to let Goku I8 intelligently analyze your air conditioner so that air-conditioning brands and models in the cloud data have reached the purpose of controlling air conditioners through mobile phones.
After the match is successful, enter the main interface of the application (as shown below), is it very familiar, this and the air conditioner remote control are very similar, and some simple operations can be used, such as temperature adjustment, mode selection, wind speed adjustment. Wait, and you can also see the temperature you current, this can make it easier for you to set the temperature you want to achieve a relatively comfortable environment.
Of course, Wukong I8 is not only reflected in convenient control, but also feeds back air conditioning and current power of air conditioners through app real-time feedback. This can't help but let me think of that advertisement, once a night? Use Wu Kui I8, see it.
In addition, the mobile app can also set the smart model of Wukong I8 and smart sleep. For example, Wukong I8 will understand local weather information through the Internet, and then use the temperature sensor in the room, and then synthesize you in daily life. The habit, automatic learning and change the operating state of the air conditioner, automatically adjust the comfort of the air conditioner and achieve the effect of power saving, of course, if you don't need it, turn it off.
There are also some small features in the app, such as the time per week switch, indicator control, indicator color, etc., it will not be detailed.
Said so much, I want everyone to have enough understanding, unique ideas, a special design, and create the vision of I8 only for air conditioning, so I have the idea of the product. Solve the itch. (Next)
Wukong i8 dismantling
From the use of the product usage of Wukong I8, we estimate that there are mainly three parts of its internal circuits: the main control board, WiFi module, and power modules, is it like this? We know it.
Seeing a buckle in the bottom of Wukong I8, habitually thinks that it will be disassembled from here, and the result is disappointed. From the gap, the internal structure is seen, and there is a screw fix, which does not meet the logic from the bottom assembly, so Whenever, it is still starting from the front panel.
Crystal panels and bases are fixed by glue, and classmates who are finely dressed is very easy to remove.
After removing the crystal panel, first we can see that the main control board and the sensor board, the structure is still an eye.
Main control board
Infrared receiver, microphone can be seen on one side of the master control board. Remove the "lamp cover" for the main board to achieve the LED lamp effect, you can see four LEDs to achieve four different colors.
Turning on the other side of the motherboard, you can see Ti op amplifiers used in the Mike Circuit, the microcontroller STM32F030, which is the semiconductor, which is the STM32 F0 value series microcontroller, based on the Cortex-M0 processor, has Very low power consumption, mainly used to replace the 8/16-bit microcontroller market. (Next)
WiFi module
There is also a row of row hoses connected to the WiFi module on the main control board. This is the main communication module for implementing wireless configuration, wireless control, and the use of Wukong I8 is a WiFi single that supports 802.11b / g / n standard. Chip solution.
The L-type antenna and the reset button can be seen on the back of the WiFi module. Don't read this seeming simple L-Typeless Anti-Type of Wukong I8, according to the introduction, the old engineer who Wukong i8 team has a 25-year runner experience, and finally confirmed, the wireless signal is very good. It is very easy to wear 2 surface walls.
Power module
After watching the main control board and the WiFi module, let's take a power module of I8. Wukong I8 wall plugs and air-conditioning sockets are directly connected, from here we can also understand that Wukong I8 is unable to control the power of power supply.
Remove the power module, this is a very "standard" power adapter module, including bridge rectification, PWM controller, transformer, rectifier diode, photocoupler and other devices, interested in power modules, can refer to the panel The English-15W_CE1K0 power module is evaluated, and the main difference is that the material and the English CE1K0 use synchronous rectification technology, which is more efficient.
Of course, the power module of Wukong I8 also has its own characteristics. For example, the power metering function we experience in the app is implemented by the current transformer mounted in the power module, mainly based on the principle of electromagnetic sensing, and the large current is more A small current is measured. In general, the overall plan design of Wukong I8 is still very simple, it is easy to understand, and the brief principle block diagram is as follows.
Small knot
After reading the use of Wukong i8, dismantling, is it just a matter, from essentially, Wukong i8 is still a smart socket, but it is a "special" smart socket, only for air conditioning services . But from creativity, I want to say that Wukong i8 is ahead of the traditional smart socket on the market (currently traditional smart sockets on the market belong to follow-style design, only pursuing constant reduction in cost, no innovation), it has a more distinct characteristic , More user-friendly design, more detailed detail processing, such as the warped baffle, LED radioplane display effect, equipped with multiple sensors, only to achieve more accurate control, etc., of course, it also has improved places, such as Say the power module, in front of us, I have already mentioned that I8 is a socket that cannot be controlled power-on, so the efficient synchronous rectification technology in the power module will be favored by users.
In general, Wukong I8 is on the starting point of the intelligent socket innovation. Although it looks from the surface, Wukong i8 is just a smart socket for air conditioners, it seems to give up a large forest, however, in the air-conditioned smart socket, Wukong I8 is undoubtedly No.1, with the Buddha's words, "Strive to go, there is a good thing", I think, Wu I8 is like this.
