Review on Smart speaker Yandex Station 2 with Alice, black anthracite, 30W by Mateusz Banaszkiewic ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, not disappointed.

We bought a mini-station with a clock (complete with a TV module) as soon as it appeared, its location on the bedside table turned out to be convenient. We planned to move the mini-station along with the TV to the kitchen, so we bought Station 2 in the room. As it turned out, the clock is a very useful thing, it's a shame that Station 2 doesn't have them. The ZigBee protocol has not yet been tested, because. already configured and using a smart home kit from Xiaomi with their hub (there will be time, I'll try to transfer the scripts to Alice). I’ll add a little off topic (neither a plus nor a minus): the cat really likes to turn on the music with his paw, it’s good at least only with us :)

Pros
  • - Good sound - Quality performance - High-quality packaging (roughness on the box looks aesthetically pleasing) - Sensitive microphone (standing in the room, hears commands from the kitchen) - Beautiful top panel with different backlight modes - Availability of ZigBee protocol for smart devices - Automatic addition of new devices at Alice's voice request - Paring two stations in one smart home
Cons
  • - Lack of clear advantages over the first generation "max" version (speaker power, lack of HDMI) - No clock (more on that below) - When the mini-station and Station 2 stand side by side (at a distance of 2 meters), in 90% of cases the mini-station answers. Apparently, the mini-station has a more sensitive microphone or it thinks faster.
