七款最实用的智能家居设备

这个小东西比皮克斯动画工作室（Pixar）的电影《机器人总动员》（Wall-E）中的监控机器人EVE更加可爱，但它监控的不是植物，而是漏水和发霉现象。SNUPI Technologies的Wally配备了很多感应器，你可以把它们放在房子周围的任何地方，用来监控温度、水分和湿度。感应器一旦发现漏水情况，就会对你发出警报。如果它们发现外界有任何情况超出了合理范围，也会向你报警，这样你就能在水管结冰或干板墙发霉前防患于未然。 温度控制：Aros智能窗式空调（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.

对于那些没有中央空调却想要智能制冷，或是只想让一个房间变得凉快以节省能耗的人来说，由Quirky和通用电气公司（GE）联手开发的Aros窗式空调能满足他们的所有需求。真的。它不仅可以追踪你的生活习惯，了解到你想什么时候开始制冷，还能追踪你的使用习惯，给出调整设置的建议来帮你省钱。它还可以利用手机的全球定位系统，在你离家或回家时自动关机或开机，这样当你进门时，家里就能有让你满意的温度。 烹饪：Crock-Pot智能慢炖锅(129.99美元) The Crock-Pot公司推出的这款慢炖锅，搭载了贝尔金公司（Belkin）的WeMo无线开关系统，几乎不需要你进行控制。你只需要把食物放进去，设定烹饪温度，就可以利用你的手机在全球任何地方监控烹饪过程了。你可以远程改变慢炖锅的设定，比如提高温度或者增加烹饪时间。无论你在哪里，何时回家，都可以保证热气腾腾的晚餐在等着你。它不能像三星智能冰箱一样让你发微博或查看谷歌日历，但当晚餐正在等待你大快朵颐的时候，谁会有空做这些事呢？（财富中文网） 译者：严匡正 |
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? |
