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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Its impossible to use it, dont waste your money.

It would be great if, when referring to Alice, the backlight was not only from above, but also from the side. In my case, Alice stands above her eyes and the glow is hard to see 1) Marriage has come. In the first hour of acquaintance, I noticed that the sound was rattling. As a result, they agreed on a replacement, but they brought the station cheaper - they refused. He himself "fixed" the speaker by turning on the music at maximum volume for 4 hours. 2) Alice does not send a push to the phone. She says she sent, but nothing comes. 3) Alice warned about only one album in a month, and they come out at 15-30 per week (among my subscriptions). "What's New" doesn't work. 4) Alice has requested access to mail and calendar, but can't do anything with them. Just collecting data. 5) If you create a script where Alice has to send a command to the skill with the words "turn on the video", "night watch" or many other options, then she will not execute the script, but will say "impossible to play the video".

Pros
  • Nice materials, I like the look. Sensitive microphone, hears surprisingly well, better than Google / Alice on the phone. You can get confused and use Alice as part of a smart home. With the help of the Brownie Kuzya skill and the Laitis program, he set up Alice to control the computer.
Cons
  • Terrible tech support. Today is the 34th day since I got Alice, and so far not a single problem has been solved. I'll tell you about them in the comments. One letter came (Step 1 of 3, Getting to know Alice), and the rest did not come, I just don't know what functions Alice has. Of course, I found communities and wikis, but even there not everything is described. Randomly put music instead of an alarm clock and then for 3 days I tried to return the standard sound back. There is no information about this. Push does not send. Occasionally decides to be self-willed when you pronounce commands - refuses to work and wastes time. Although sometimes it's funny. 69 days have passed since cannot fix push notifications. I think this is too much, there is no support from them. And even though I like the column, I put 1 star for ignoring me 110 days have passed, nothing has changed, technical support does not solve the problem. 143 days have passed, technical support keeps writing about the difficulties, but does not offer anything. Push not working, "What's new?" does not work, some scripts are buggy

Got pros: She has very good hearing. The volume for the studio is enough with the head. I connected it to a smart home - I control Chinese garlands with my voice. Cons below: Can't be renamed. She will only respond to "Alice" or "". But maybe it's temporary.
