Review on Smart speaker Yandex Station Light with Alice, yellow lemon, 5W by Adam Kardasz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

For such money - more than impressive. True, you need to clearly understand why and what this thing is for, after at least reading what it is and what it is eaten with. And to understand that it is necessary to communicate with the station as with children in the rank of colonel - clear, simple and specific phrases. Offhand, I’ll say this: this is a voice reminder, an original alarm clock, a radio tape recorder, a music speaker + an analogue of a smart home control network, if there is such a technique. The differences between a mini station and a large one are only in the whistles (light bulbs watch the sound of wow), the functionality is the same. By the way, connecting the station with Redmond equipment through the Gate is a labor-intensive undertaking, you will have to tinker, because. Redmond is initially configured to work via bluetooth through its Redmond station, and not through the gate (because the bluetooth radio channel is not polarized, the gate periodically loses sight of the connected devices - this does not always make Alice turn on the kettle, for example, because the kettle loses sight of the gate itself). But these are already questions for the #redmond application, and not for .

Pros
  • Interesting housekeeper. Pleasant enough control, but relatively sensitive, as you need to learn to clearly formulate questions and not ask too complex. A smart home system at minimum wages with conversational / entertainment functionality is very cool. Muted colors look great in the interior.
Cons
  • Software part: Compound sentences are clearly not her forte. At all. I honestly don't like answers to questions like "What is . Cloud" and "In what programming languages ​​can I create a script for you? " - I do not understand. There were no other answers to such questions. It is not clear how I should understand such answers, because I am asking a very specific question and this question is generally in the field of functionality of this station. Some phrases are not searched for by search, giving lengthy answers. Hardware: the volume range of 1-10 is clearly too high for the impression of "wow, how loud! ", the speaker on the 10th volume scale will quickly sit down and will wheeze if it does not completely sag. It is necessary to reduce the sound volume to 7: yes, it will be less audible and there will not be much enthusiasm; Yes, because of this, the column will last longer. The absence of a battery is more a minus than a plus, because. there is a need to fit the station in the middle of the room, and people don’t throw sockets in the middle of the room at all (carrying is such a design decision, to be honest).
