In the afternoon, Wang Yi came to Xingyi Smart Home R&D Laboratory.

I happened to see Sun Shengyu, the head of Xingyi's intelligent department, testing the sensor with the R&D staff:

"There is still something wrong with this human movement sensor. It is not sensitive enough, and it is even a bit retarded! How can we launch this kind of junk product?"

"Our intelligence department is responsible for external intelligence empowerment. Once this kind of junk product is put on the market, wouldn't it be a loss of brand name?"

"Review the test as soon as possible to see if it is a hardware problem or an algorithm problem! If we can't solve it, we will work overtime together!"

Hearing this, Wang Yi smiled.

Other sensors are easy to get, but the human movement sensor is the most difficult.

Without him, it is easy for the human body motion sensor to detect moving objects, but when a person sits still, he becomes blind.

The simplest thing is that if you frequently come in and out of the toilet and you don't want to turn on and off the lights every time, you will use a human body movement sensor to link the toilet lights.

When a person walks to the door of the toilet, the sensor senses the movement of the human body and turns on the light immediately.

When a person leaves, the sensor cannot sense human movement for two minutes and turns off the lights immediately.

But when a person squats in a pit, the range of movement is very small. The person is still there, but the sensor cannot detect it and turns off the light directly, leaving the user with a black eye!

It's not awkward in general.

Why does Wang Yi know so well?

In the previous life, the human body sensor launched by Mijia looked like this.

Not to mention squatting, even when Wang Yi is taking a shower, he can't sense human body movement and turns off the lights directly.

Even if you set it to turn off the lights after no one moves for two minutes, it won't work.

The movement is too small to be detected.

Sometimes towels fluttering in the wind will be mis-sensored and the lights will be turned on.

It can be said that human movement sensors are indeed the most difficult to develop.

Wang Yi patted Sun Shengyu's shoulder. Sun Shengyu, who had his back to Wang Yi, realized that Wang Yi was coming and said quickly:

"Chairman, I..."

"It's okay, just keep going." Wang Yixiao said.

Sun Shengyu nodded: "Chairman, after our research and development, we have now completed the multi-function gateway, temperature and humidity sensor, water immersion sensor, door and window sensor, natural gas alarm sensor, and smoke sensor."

These sensors are not technically difficult and are easy to develop. They are also essential sensors for smart homes.

"But there are sensors in this human body, and the effect is very unsatisfactory and not sensitive enough."

Wang Yi nodded: "We have done a good job. As for the human movement sensor, it is indeed difficult. Different scenes require different sensitivities, so it is difficult to fit all. It is better to open the sensitivity permissions to users, so that users can set the sensitivity according to their own scene needs.

Adjust it yourself. Of course, we will also introduce several levels of recommended sensitivity.”

Sun Shengyu's eyes lit up: "Wonderful, in this way, users can achieve the most accurate tuning by setting their own settings. The most important thing is that if it is not sensitive, users will think that it is a problem with their own settings, not our products.

.”

"Yes, that's it!" Wang Yi continued:

"This human movement sensor is an infrared sensor, and the sensitivity is indeed not high. We can also develop a high-end human presence sensor that can actively detect the human body through millimeter wave radar, even if it is stationary. Cost

Maybe it’s a little higher, but for mass production, the cost can be spread to less than 50 yuan, and it’s 159 yuan sold in a physical store, so it’s still no problem.”

"Millimeter wave radar!" Sun Shengyu fell into deep thought and said for a long time: "This plan is okay, why didn't I think of it!"

"Chairman, you are more professional than us who specialize in developing smart homes."

Wang Yi waved his hand: "I'm just making a suggestion, you have to figure out the specific solution!"

Originally, smart home only had one department, Xingyi Smart Home, and the person in charge was Meng Qingzhen, who mainly developed new smart devices.

For example, Xiaoai AI Speaker, a product created from scratch, is a product of Xingyi Smart Home Department.

The intelligent department that was later established was to help users and third-party brands achieve intelligence and provide equipment and solutions. It can be regarded as an intelligent empowerment department.

Sun Shengyu is a top talent specially recruited by the Xingyi Technology headhunting team.

A typical R&D maniac, whatever needs Wang Yi puts forward, he immediately leads his people to start working on them without saying anything.

Wang Yi admires this kind of talent very much.

The cooperation with George is even more appropriate.

"Chairman, I will plan the human body presence sensor as soon as possible and launch it as soon as possible!"

"good."

"By the way, Chairman, we have also developed the other sensors and equipment you requested. Please come over here."

Sun Shengyu walked to the next room: "Chairman, look, this is the wireless switch you requested. It is linked with the smart home through the gateway. After linking, you can use this wireless switch to control the corresponding electrical appliances, and through settings, you can use a switch

Control multiple appliances."

"For example, click once to control the light switch in the bedroom, and double click to control the light in the living room."

"Atom switches, smart sockets, and air conditioning companions have also been developed."

Wang Yi was very satisfied. He had explained these things a few months ago.

It was originally developed by Xingyi Smart Home Department, but later it was separated into the intelligent department. These things were more suitable for the intelligent department, so the relevant R&D teams were assigned to the intelligent department.

With the addition of Sun Shengyu, the research and development progress has also advanced by leaps and bounds.

After all, the head of the department personally engages in R&D, and other R&D engineers dare not not work hard.

Of course, the slow progress before was not because Meng Qingzhen, the person in charge of Xingyi Zhijia, didn’t care.

On the contrary, as the leader of Xingyi Smart Home, Meng Qingzhen focuses most of his energy on the more important Xingyi Smart Home ecosystem and the research and development of Xiaoai Audio, and naturally cannot take care of these sensors.

Fortunately, Meng Qingzhen, Xingyi Zhijia Ecology and Xiaoai Audio were able to produce it smoothly.

Now that Sun Shengyu has joined and the intelligent department has been established, it is equivalent to an extra carriage, so the efficiency of both large and small projects has soared.

The output of these devices can better empower traditional non-smart home appliances with intelligence!

There are two paths for the development of smart homes. One path is Xingyi Smart Home, which directly develops new intelligent products, such as smart speakers, smart air conditioners, smart TVs, etc., to fundamentally realize intelligence.

This requires the launch of new products, and users have to buy new products.

Another path is Xingyi Intelligentization, which uses intelligent empowerment to turn traditional non-smart appliances in users’ homes into intelligent appliances and connect them to Xingyi Smart Home!

The infrared function of the Xiaoai audio band can be used to intelligently connect nearby air conditioners, TVs, lights and other devices that support infrared remote control through infrared coding and connect to Xingyi Smart Home.

However, Xiaoai speakers are expensive, costing 1,399 each, and the infrared control range is limited.

The Xiaoai stereo in the bedroom has no problem controlling the infrared appliances in the bedroom, but it cannot control the infrared appliances in the living room.

For this reason, some users will buy multiple Xiaoai speakers at one time, one for each house.

But the cost is high and it is only suitable for rich users.

The Atom switch and air conditioner companion are different, they are cheap and the effect is good.

Atom switches are very similar to ordinary switches at home. Remove the ordinary switches and replace them with smart switches.

In this way, all downlights and headlights at home that do not support smart lighting will become smart.

The same is true for the Air Conditioning Companion, which can also turn a traditional air conditioner into a smart air conditioner without Xiaoai speakers.

And both are much cheaper.

The infrared version of Xiaoai Audio costs 1,399 per unit, and buying two of them would be too much.

In other places, you can use Air Conditioner Companion and Atom Switch to intelligently connect the air conditioners and lights in the bedroom to Xingyi Smart Home.

And the cost is low.

In a few years, the price of Atom switches will reach 30 to 50 yuan each, which is not much more expensive than ordinary switches.

It's quite fashionable now, and as the first of its kind, Wang Yi sells it for 99 each, which is considered very cheap.

After all, the ones owned by Bill Gates cost more than a hundred times.

There is also an air-conditioning companion. In the previous life, Xiaomi's air-conditioning companion was launched in 2017 and originally sold for 169.

Now that Wang Yi has launched it a few years in advance, the cost is higher, and the price of 299 is not a problem.

299 turns the traditional air conditioner at home into a smart air conditioner, and users will not refuse it at all.

These two options are much cheaper than the Xiaoai Audio priced at 1,399.

It is also one of the core equipment of the future intelligent department.

There is no way, even if Xingyi Technology launches Xingyi smart air conditioner next year, many people will still choose Gree air conditioner.

If you want to make the traditional Gree air conditioner smart, the best solution is Air Conditioner Companion.

Of course, a better solution is to cooperate.

Directly bring air conditioner brands into Xingyi Smart Home, let third-party air conditioners have built-in H1 chips from the factory, and join the Xingyi Smart Home ecosystem.

In this way, users can activate it directly after purchasing it.
