Review on Smart Column Yandex New Station Mini - smart column with Alice (no watch), black onyx by Anson Keith ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average quality, not an outstanding product.

For me it didn't live up to my expectations. The dreary thing is that each "smart" device must be connected separately by downloading and installing and registering in the application of the company of this device, then linking things one by one in the application of the company of these devices, and then linking these applications to the Alice application, and in in the end, it still works through time. Thus, if you are not at home, and "turned on the light for the fish" or "activated the feeder" or "turned off the washer" - you cannot be sure that this smart thing turned off / turned on in fact, and not just in the form of a picture in the application Alice "smart home". Do not build illusions. If you want a "smart home", look for something with adequate fast protocols, and at a price it will be more than 250k, for the whole house. And Alice is nothing more than a toy, with extremely little functionality, although the PR people inflated her perfectly.

Pros
  • Suitable for: - include a fairy tale for children - turn on your favorite track - find out the time/weather for tomorrow
Cons
  • - Monthly payments (subscription) - the illusion of being able to install a "smart home" about the second in more detail: I bought a column, bought a "Smart RGB LED bulb with Wi-Fi, Alice, Google Home, Smart Bulb 5W E14" 2pcs (for testing), bought a smart socket. Bottom line: I connected the column, screwed in the bulbs, downloaded the application for the column, downloaded the application for the bulbs, logged in to the latter, linking the account to Alice. Added each light bulb separately to the light bulb application. I checked that they are in Alice's application and the status is determined. "Alice, turn off the light" - 1 bulb turns off, the second one thinks for about a minute, turns off. "Alice turn on the light" - one light bulb turns on. "Alice turn on the light" - nothing happens. "Alice turn off ." - 1 lamp turns off. "Alice turn on ." - 2 pieces are included. "Alice turn the light green - one turns green, the second does not react. I think you understand.
