Rise of the Machines: Why and what appliances have Wi-Fi
A new round of home "white" household appliances - embedding wireless Wi-Fi in all that is possible, from teapots to refrigerators. On what devices come with wi-FEMA and that he gives talk today.
It should be clearly understood that the presence of Wi-Fi in consumer electronics does not mean that that's about it. Wi-Fi in this case is merely a tool for communication device to the Internet through a router, and all other functions are derived from just such an opportunity due to the host via the Internet. And what exactly will be the host to transmit household appliances, or that he will be able to do with it, pressing a virtual button in the application (for example, run a home air conditioner for your ward) - it all depends on the specific device. Second, and earlier use of the internet - this firmware update
Clean House
First mass conductor Wi-Fi in consumer electronics in life is to become a Russian company Samsung. A few months ago were for the Russian market presents a washing machine and air conditioner to control for Wi-Fi, and those on the world market, there is not the first year. You can remotely manage the process of washing with an appropriate application for Android or iOS: start or stop the wash cycle, adjust the cycle to be notified about the remaining washing time, the end of the wash ... So, just be aware of everything and a bit of control. Physically, by the way, specifically, the washing machine is controlled by a touch screen - of course, the latest fashion.This, as well as availability of cheap, in general, the module Wi-Fi, determines the price of the "stiralku": reportedly Samsung, it will amount to 90,000 rubles with the appearance on the shelves. And meanwhile washing machines Miele (which are considered premium grade) a few years ago were able to update their own firmware via the internet and even today are not like the cheaper.Although there were always in the premium class and were considered one of the most expensive.
However, simple notifications and touchscreens washing machines are no longer limited. Berg Cloudwash machine can be programmed not only for washing: she can and powder-conditioned to buy on Amazon. Pay off your credit card and indicate your delivery address. And LG offers roughly the same as Samsung, and also going to withdraw these machines to the Russian market.
And there are other Samsung models, less pretentious, available in different countries; in their pure includes not only washing, but drying machines controlled using a smartphone or tablet. And even vacuum cleaners.
Vacuums with Wi-Fi - this, of course, the robot vacuum cleaner in the first place. And one of the first such unit also made in Samsung, called it Navibot S and brought to market. LG did the same, calling their offspring HomBot. However, the robot cleaner Wi-Fi-functional does not look very popular. As today include robotic vacuum cleaners? Before leaving the house. Robot to crawl around the house, gather the dust will return to dock and recharge. That is, and so will do everything automatically. With the help of internet you can activate it remotely and monitor the work of the associated application online. Vacuums can be remotely shut down, change some parameters work and just follow, not whether he sucked cat. From this viewpoint, the robot cleaner with the Wi-Fi is convenient, but only.
By the way, a model from LG has a built-in microphone and she can decide when to get out of it - when no one is home and the noise level below a particular point. Plus there have HomBot camera and he knows how to translate the online image on the screen of your smartphone.
Climate Technology
As for the air conditioning, they can customize every way with your smartphone and get all the necessary statistical information on the screen. In general, it is also not new: and therefore to the Wi-Fi feature in Samsung before displaying goods to the Russian market and do even realized almost triangular shape, making up tales of what she's wonderful and vitally necessary. Of course, the cost of 40-50 thousand for the Russian market is certainly justified. However, all these statements are true not only for Samsung: LG also unveiled its top-premium Wi-Fi-conditioners Artcool Stylist similar prices: these are allocated "moddersky" backlit black.
In addition to air conditioning, Wi-Fi has already begun to implement and HVAC equipment to another: for example, in air purifiers. Philips and Stadler last fall introduced such unit and functional interaction with the user is similar to that of air conditioners: remote control, programmed switching on and off ... And, of course, various unnecessary "cool pieces" like touch electronic control with motion sensors that respond to flight of the bumblebee hands above the body.
