Xiaomi doesn't leave puppet without head, everything under control.
I'll start by saying that I don't like Xiaomi's policy of touching everything. I think they should focus on mobiles and tablets and some more gossip. To touch other sectors..., I would like it to be as they have done on several occasions, branding products manufactured by others. In this case it's like that again, and I like that, it's Mijia's 81st product, released through Xiaomi's crowdfunding* method. Having said that..., I have to admit that the product we're talking about today is very cool. Xiaomi Aqara Smart Curtain is a product that will allow us to draw the curtains of our home using Wifi. We have to admit that at first it may seem like a whim for lazy people. But if we look beyond..., it has its charm. Surely many of you are among those who draw the curtains of home to go to sleep. Well, getting up and drawing them is a common thing. With this new product, we can save that process because it can be done automatically.
Another product connected to our terminal.
It's Xiaomi's idea. To offer us infinity of products with a common element, to control them from the mobile. Personally I have some of them and I have to admit that it is very cool. Right now I have the possibility to know the temperature that there is in hunting zone of house since I have several devices of Xiaomi that control it (concretely I have 8). Apart from seeing the temperature I can turn on and off the air conditioning because I have the Xiaomi infrared receiver that allows me to do this operation remotely. Obviously also to program it, or as not, to be able scenes. That is to say, to program the system so that, if the temperature goes down or goes up more than a quantity established by me, that the air is turned on. I also have the plug which allows me to know the electricity consumption, and incidentally, turn it off remotely if I want. Surely you have ever gone away for a few days and halfway you remember that you have left a device on, well, with the plug does not happen to me.
A product thought to perfection.
You have to admit that the product is very well thought out. At the technological level we are dealing with a product that gives you the ability to manage everything from the mobile, but you can also use it without a mobile. The device comes with a button that when you press it will open the curtains. Obviously much more cool from the mobile. There is a drawing that indicates the process of opening in real time. Apart from being able to create scenes, it gives us a lot of game. Open the curtains automatically at a certain time and wake up with the first rays of light, cool. Regarding the device, we are talking about a product that weighs quite a lot, specifically 50kg, the noise it makes is 30dB and its release to the market will be on June 15. Its price? 133 euros.
Conclusions on Xiaomi Aqara Smart Curtain.
Like I said, I like Xiaomi to focus on mobiles. But I understand and share the way in which it launches most of these devices. Regarding the product we're dealing with..., first note that the names get on my nerves, can't you put something shorter? Leaving aside the detail..., we are dealing with a product that in my opinion is interesting but we will hardly be able to access it. We are talking about a very heavy product, hardly any import company will bet on exporting it. With which..., we will hardly be able to buy it unless we do it going through expensive procedures, I doubt that we can have this product at home for less than 200 euros. We'll see where it goes, but it's clear that Xiaomi bets on home automation and that their products are more than interesting.
Crowdfunding: this term is increasingly used to mean that someone has an idea, in this case Xiaomi and will market it via Mija, one of its divisions. Many investors put money to make the project go ahead. This is how Xiaomi has been doing it for a long time and we have to admit that nothing is wrong with them, so far all the projects launched through this formula have come to fruition.
