Awusoze ushise kakhulu noma ubanda kakhulu futhi
Ama-thermostats ahlakaniphile noma axhunyiwe asiza imali ngoba angakwazi ukuqapha ukushisa, umswakama futhi ulungise ukushisa nokujikeleza. Futhi ungakwazi ukulawula yonke uhlelo kusuka smartphone yakho. Eqinisweni, abaningi bavumelana ne-Amazon Alexa, HomeKit ye-Apple ne-Samsung SmartThings, evumela ukusebenza okungaphezulu nakakhulu. Uma ubheka ukunciphisa izindleko, engeza ubuchwepheshe obuningi futhi uzuze ukulawula ukushisa kwekhaya lakho, lawa ma-thermostats axhunyiwe kahle ngokufanele ukutshalwa kwezimali.
Iyahambisana nensizakalo yokulawula izwi ye-Alexa ye-Alexa (i-Alexa ithengiswe ngokwehlukana), iNest igama eliyaziwa kakhulu embonini futhi, ngefreyimu yalo ensimbi engenasinhla, ingenye yemikhiqizo emihle eyenzelwe imikhiqizo smart etholakalayo namhlanje. Uma usuqedile inqubo yokufaka ngendlela elula (imizuzu engama-30 noma ngaphansi), iNest isiqala ukufunda ukuthi uhamba kanjani endlini yakho, ulungise amazinga okushisa ngokuzenzekelayo ngokususelwa esikhathini sosuku ngokusebenzisa uchungechunge lwezinzwa, i-smartphone yakho noma amakhulu eminye amadivaysi asekhaya ahlakaniphile , kufaka phakathi izilawuli ezikude ezihlakaniphile nokuxhuma amakhamera njengeDropcam Pro.

Ukwengeza okufana nokwenza umsebenzi wekhaya / wokuqeda ukulahlekelwa izindleko ngokuqapha lapho kungekho muntu ekhaya futhi ulungisa ngokuzenzakalelayo amazinga okushisa ngokufanele ukugcina amandla. Uma usungena kabusha ekhaya, i-Nest's Farsight tech izokhanyisa ukuboniswa kwe-2.08-intshi (480 x 480) ekuboniseni ngesikhathi, izinga lokushisa kanye nesimo sezulu sangaphandle. Ngokwezindleko zokulindela izindleko phakathi kwamaphesenti angu-10 kuya kwangu-12 kumabhilidi okushisa kanye namaphesenti angu-15 kumabhilidi okupholisa, iNest ikulindele ukuthi amadivaysi ayo akhokhele ngaphakathi kweminyaka emibili yokuthenga ngokulinganisa imali engu-$ 131 kuya ku-$ 145 yokulondoloza ngonyaka.
I-thermostat ehlelwe yi-Vine's Wi-Fi ingase ingabi yindlela enhle kunazo zonke, kodwa inikeza ukubulala kwezimpawu ngaphandle kwethegi lentengo ephezulu. Ukufakwa kwezingxenye ezimbili ze-Wi-Fi ukuxhuma nge-smartphone yesicelo samahhala kokubili i-Android ne-iOS, ukuze wenze izinguquko zokushisa okusheshayo nokulula. Iyahambisana namafomethi amaningi we-HVAC, i-Vine ifaka ngokushesha nge-hardware ehlanganisiwe uma nje i-C-wire iyatholakala ukunikeza amandla ku-thermostat. Kanye efakiwe, isibonisi se-LCD esi-3.5-intshi esivini sivumela izinhlelo ezilula kuze kube yizinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngezikhathi eziyisishiyagalombili ngosuku ngalunye lokukhulisa noma lokunciphisa izinga lokushisa.
Kulabo abafuna ukuhlangenwe nakho okuguquguqukayo okuguquguqukayo okungaphezulu, kukhona ukudayela okungokwenyama okukhona eMvini. Uma ubheka ukuthinta okudlulile ngokomzimba, i-Vine's-tariff-tariff ifihla okunye okuncane, kodwa okwenziwe yi-fan-intandokazi njengokubikezela kwansuku zonke noma ezinhlanu, imibiko yamanzi, ukukhanya ebusuku, kanye nezikhumbuzi zesevisi zokukwazisa ukuthi ukushintsha nini ukuhlunga.
Ngenkathi imali yokulondoloza izindleko ayiyona ihlaya, inani labathengi kufanele libheke ku-Lyric T5's for the small-front front cost with the same opportunities saving the other thermostats. Ngenxa ye-honeywell ye-wallplate ekhethekile ye-Honeywell, ukufakwa kuyisimo sephefumula ngokucushwa kwe-C. Isibonisi esiphelelwe yisikhathi sibheka inani lentengo, kodwa ungakwazi kalula ukubhanqa idivaysi ngamadivayisi amaningi axhunyiwe, kuhlanganise ne-Apple's HomeKit ne-Amazon Alexa. I-T5 iqukethe uhlelo lwezinsuku ezingu-7, olulungisa ukushisa okufunekayo kunoma yikuphi ukuxhumeka kwe-Wi-Fi noma kweselula futhi kukukhumbuza ukuthi ushintshe isihlungi somoya.
Uma usushintsha i-Apple HomeKit, ungayilawula kokubili i-Siri ne-geofencing, okugcina okusebenzisa isofthiwe yokufaka ibalazwe ukufaka indawo engaphakathi kwendlu. Uma usukhona, i-geofencing ivumela i-Lyric T5 ukuthi yazi ukuthi uhlala ekhaya noma ikude, okusiza ama-temperature okushisa ama-thermostat ngokuvumelana nezindleko ezengeziwe nokulondoloza amandla. Amazon Alexa fans ngeke ngokulinganayo bathande control voice ukuvumela wena ulungise izinga lokushisa ngaphandle uphakamisa umunwe.
Ngesikhulumi esakhelwe ngaphakathi nemakrofoni ye-Alexa ye-Alexa yesevisi (ngakho awudingi i-Echo ezinikezele noma i-Echo Dot), kulula ukubona ukuthi kungani i-Ecobee4 iyisistimu ehlanganisiwe kakhulu. Iphinde isekele ukwesekwa kwe-HomeKit ye-Apple, i-SmartThings yakwa-Samsung, i-IFTTT namakhulu amaningi amadivayisi. Ngokwezindleko zokulinganisa izindleko ezingamaphesenti angama-23 ngonyaka ngokushisa nokupholisa, kuyinto enhle ukufakwa kuthatha imizuzwana embalwa ukuphakama nokusebenza.
Uma efakiwe, i-Ecobee ingenza okungaphezu nje kokulungisa ukushisa. Isibonelo, ingafunda izindaba, utshele ihlaya noma ulawule i-pizza ngezinhlamvu eziyishumi (10,000 nokubala) ezandulele ngaphambilini ze-Alexa. Ngaphandle kokuhlanganiswa, izinzwa zendawo zisiza ukuqapha izindawo ezishisayo nezibandayo ezungeze ikhaya ukuze zilungiselele ngokuzenzakalelayo izimo ezingcono kakhulu. Uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-smartphone olutholakalayo lwe-Android kanye ne-iOS luvumela ukulungiswa kwezinga lokushisa, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungaphansi kwebhokisi noma ngakolunye uhlangothi lomhlaba.
Njengoba kunezinzwa ezihlukahlukene zomzimba, i-Ecobee3 ivumela ushintsho olunembile kakhulu ekushiseni nokupholisa ikhaya. Ngaphandle komklamo wayo okhangayo ngokomzimba kanye nesikrini sokuthinta, ibuye ihambelane ne-HomeKit yombili ye-Apple, i-SmartThings yakwa-Samsung ne-Amazon Alexa, okugcina eyenza ukulawula izwi. Noma kunjalo, ukugqokonyiswa kwangempela akuyona ukuhlanganiswa, kodwa ukwengeza izinzwa ezihlukene ezingu-32 eziqaphela ukuguquka komswakama futhi zilungise ngokushesha futhi zithuthukise futhi igumbi lokushisa okufunayo.
Ivolumu enkulu yenzwa yikongeza okubalulekile kolwazi lwe-Ecobee3 ukuthi yimaphi amakamelo ahlala kuyo noma ngabe kukhona umuntu ekhaya, ngakho-ke ingaqhubeka nokwenza izinguquko zamandla ezingafaka engaphezulu kwamaphesenti angu-23 ngonyaka. Njengoba izibuyekezo zivela ngokuqondile kumkhiqizi, idivayisi ihlale ihambisana nesofthiwe yakamuva ukusiza ukugqugquzela uhlelo oluhle lwe-thermostat oluhlakaniphile. Ukusekelwa okungeziwe kusuka kwi-smartphone, ithebhulethi noma ikhompyutha kokubili i-Apple ne-Android inikeza ukulawula okufanayo njengamanye ama-thermostats axhunyiwe kusuka kunoma yikuphi emhlabeni.
I-Emerson Sensi ifaka ifreyimu emhlophe, emhlophe ebukeka futhi izwa kakhulu efana ne-thermostat yakho ekhona. Ngenhlanhla, kulula ukufaka nge-C ehlanganisiwe (nakuba ungasebenzisa futhi amabhethri AA amabili uma unesidingo). Ekugcineni, i-Sensi igxila kuwe ekutsheleni lokho okufunayo ekulawuleni kokushisa futhi hhayi enye indlela ezungeze izinhlelo zokulalisa njenge-Nest noma i-Ecobee ezama ukufunda kusuka ekuhambeni nasekuziphatheni kwakho.
Kukho isikrini se-LCD umbala, inzwa yokusondelana nokulandelela indawo ngaphakathi kwekhaya lakho. Ukugxila lapha kuphela ekulungiseleleni, ukushintsha nokuhlela izinga lokushisa kusuka kunoma yikuphi emhlabeni ngokuvumelana nezinsiza ze-Android ne-iOS. Inkambiso yokuhlela izinsuku ezinsuku eziyisikhombisa kusiza ukunciphisa izindleko ezingadingekile zamandla, kanye nokulondoloza izindleko ze-HVAC. I-splendge eyodwa ne-Sensi iyinhlangano edidiyelwe i-Amazon Alexa yokusekela ukulawula izwi, kodwa izwa ngaphezulu kokungeziwe kunesidingo esikhulu.
Ngokubukeka okuhle nokubonisa isikrini esithinta kalula, i-Honeywell Wi-Fi smart thermostat iyisinqumo esihle kubalandeli bokulawula izwi. Ngokusekelwa nge-Alexa ye-Alexa yesevisi (i-Echo, i-Echo Dot ethengiswa ngokwehlukana), lo modeli ubeka phambili abadlali bawo abaningi, kodwa unomnikazi wesici esithile esithinta izinketho ezibizayo. Ama-Perks afana neskrini sokuthinta ngokwezifiso ongashintsha imibala yokufanisa imidwebo yakho enhle, kodwa uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-smartphone yamahhala kokubili i-Android ne-iOS kusiza ukulawula ukushisa noma ngabe unesixhumano se-Intanethi.
Ukukhetha imodi ehleliwe kuyindlela engcono kakhulu yokulondoloza ukushisa konyaka kanye nezindleko zokupholisa. Indawo eyodwa lapho iminyaka ihlasela khona i-Honeywell yikhono lokufunda isimiso sakho futhi ulungise izinga lokushisa lakho ngokufanele, kodwa lokho akuyona i-breaker lapho uhlangothi lwe-flip luyisikrini esiphezulu kakhulu esikrinini esikrinini. Ngenqubo yokusetha ebuza imibuzo mayelana nokuthi ubani ohlala ekhaya phakathi nosuku nokushisa okukhethwayo lapho elala, u-Honeywell usemisa ngaphezu kwesisindo sawo kuze kube yilolu suku.
