Review on Smart speaker Yandex Station 2 with Alice, black anthracite, 30W by Adam Listopad ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The purchase did not justify itself at all.

So, let's begin. If you are a happy owner of the first station or max, then do not even think about buying the 2nd one yet. If you are the owner of all sorts of small options or you don’t have any stations at all, then listen to what you get for this money. So a couple of pluses. Yes, beautiful, yes pleasant, but it fits into the interior and flashes with a panel. All. Now for the bad. Sound for 2-3 thousand with a stretch. The first station makes the second to shreds and this is not in terms of volume but in quality. Zigby is useless from the word at all. , tell me why you advertise the rejection of manufacturers' hubs and the transfer of all sensors and smart devices to your station if you forgot to screw the most banal and simple thing like NOTIFICATIONS into your application. And don't forget to send spam in push notifications. I need the smart home system to send me an alert if there is a leak or smoke. You never know the robber will climb in and there should be a notification about this from the motion sensor and the opening of the door. Almost all manufacturers of smart home equipment have this in their applications, but you, , do not. Absolutely useless balalaika is your station 2 if the first one or Max is nearby. Finish the notification functionality and then it will make sense. And now, I, completely dissatisfied with this purchase, I think, well, at least there is USB type c, you can power it from something else and use it somewhere in nature. Here, take a bite. Only from the native BP. Everything else says "Not Enough Power". I connect the PSU twice as powerful as the native one and the energy is still not enough. I think I changed a couple of pins in the connector in order to use only the native PSU. In short, not a column but a disappointment. If only push notifications were screwed into their software on the sensors. At least that would be acceptable.

Pros
  • Design, packaging, top panel.
Cons
  • Well, there is something to roam about. The sound is bad for the money. Zigby protocol is useless from the word at all (description below). Lack of power from other sources.
