As a new product of Apple, Apple Watch was officially announced by Apple CEO TIm Cook at the Apple 2014 Fall New Product Launch Conference on September 9, 2014. Apple Watch supports voice back text messages, weather, flight information, map navigation, music playback, measuring heartbeat, step counting and many other functions, but this "watch is coming out" smart watch and some features are not released It was mentioned that “the smart home device will be controllable†is one of them.
When interviewed by Bloomberg in late September last year, TIm Cook said that he likes to control Apple TV through a watch (a higher version of Apple Watch), because there is no need to worry about the remote control slipping into the sofa cushion. At the same time, TIm Cook also revealed that in addition to Apple TV, Apple Watch can also "control other things", the "other things" here is also predicted: "Apple Watch users will be able to control the lighting in their homes in the future, Door locks, thermostats, etc.".
Nowadays, the external forecast has come true. Apple Watch has become another control terminal for smart homes after computers, tablets and mobile phones. However, this does not have much direct contact with Apple's smart home platform Homekit, but comes from a third-party manufacturer's watch version of the smart home app.
Recently, the domestic Internet of Things leader IoT Sensor upgraded the self-developed smart home app, WulianSmartHome V5, making it the first and only smart home system app that can match AppleWatch. This trend-following approach allows users to implement scene-based management of devices in their homes, view alarm information and other environmental information of home devices through the smart watch AppleWatch.
It is understood that the previous version of IoT Sensing SmartHome V5 is known for its minimalist style. The homepage even has the most urgent "quick scene", home device information push, remote monitoring, internal social and other sections, and each version is It consists of simple lines and boxes, with no perspectives, textures, gradients, 3D effects, etc. It's even easier to present SmartHome V5 on Apple Watch.
In fact, on the Apple Watch, SmartHome V5 retains only two features: explicit and hidden. The former is the scene control presented on the interface, and belongs to the shortcut operation mode of the home device. Through this function, the user can open or close the N pieces of equipment in the home by one button, and switch between different modes of going home, leaving home, exercising, etc.; It is the information that the home device temporarily pushes when triggering certain functions. It is mainly a reminder of the safety and health of the home environment. It allows the user to know the security status and indoor environment information at home, such as the status of the door and window switch, and the temperature. Humidity, PM2.5 concentration, CO2 concentration, etc.
So why does SmartHome V5 only retain these two types of features? One of the important reasons is that the smart watch screen is small. If it is almost impossible to perfect the operation of the entire smart home system in a very limited display area, it is only simple and simple, and retains the user's "most need". operating. This is actually not limited to SmartHome V5. Apple Watch's earliest applications such as WeChat, Weibo, Alipay, and Ctrip also retain some of the features of suitable wearable devices, which can be called the lite version of the mobile app.
Of course, smart home app adaptation Apple Watch is not just for fun, simple operation is the primary factor to consider. Before, there were a lot of people who spit the mobile smart home App operation trouble, because the process of taking out the mobile phone, finding out the software, finding the equipment, etc. is not easy. And if you move the app into a smart watch, it's a lot easier, at least you don't have to look around for a watch, you can do it on your wrist.
Supporting Apple Watch is a surprise for SmartHome V5, but considering that Apple Watch still needs to be used with Apple phones, it is difficult to get rid of iPhone. This surprise is more about loyal “fruit powderâ€. In contrast, SmartHome V5, which fits the Android smartwatch or the next-generation WiFi-enabled Apple Watch, is perhaps more worth looking forward to.
