Review on Smart speaker Yandex Station Mini without clock with Alice, black onyx, 10W by Janis Liekmanis ᠌

Pros below: -Design, buttons I bought a blue sapphire, judging by the reviews it looks better than black. The location of the buttons is convenient. Mute the microphone on the back, volume + - and a multifunctional button on the top (revealed such functions: turn on the voice request, stop the voice request, pause / continue music, track rewind function. -Sound 10w column. It sounds acceptable, but not all subtleties are audible, although what to expect from a single speaker. It is possible to connect external audio devices. -Watch Very handy addition to the column, replaces the wall clock with arrows and can be seen in the dark. But that's not all, of course. I found that the dial can show the following values: clock, clock with an alarm turned on, temperature display when requesting weather, smile when talking to Alice, music mixer at the beginning of the track or after a pause, call animation, countdown, volume up. The dial is configured in the application in terms of brightness, but finally they added the ability to turn the clock off / on by voice, for example, for complete darkness at bedtime. -Alice and smart home There are only two smart home devices in my house so far. This is Alice and a humidifier from Xiaomi. When Alice appeared in the house, I was able to quickly and easily add humidification to the smart home. Having studied the functionality, I was able to do all the actions with my voice, which is very convenient. Oh, it’s a pity that he can’t pour water, but it’s too lazy :) - Scenarios A very handy thing that is completely customizable. You can do a lot, for example, write a script: if you say: "Alice, you are Alice," then "I know," Alice will answer. It's all customized. An example is better: if the humidity is below 40%, then turn on the humidifier at an average ventilation speed. -Subscription and gift As a gift, they gave me 300 plus points. I use a standard subscription. Previously, the cost was 200 / month, now 300 / month, but you can add it to the family. Subscription includes: Music, Kinopoisk, Plus points. If you do not renew your subscription, you will not be able to use music and some other features. Got cons: Not everything can be answered, but the questions are complex, but it is necessary to refine. Alice is always supplemented with functionality, maybe she will be transferred to a neural network and become better.
