Is it necessary to have a remote control for home appliances? What do you think about it?

[PConline] Many times, when we visit a friend's house, it's not hard to find the sweeping robot's hard work. Yes, sweeping robots have become popular in some homes. I also asked my friends about the practicality of sweeping robots. My friends said, “The sweeping robots are now in a state of self-care in the ground sweeping work. , starting with one can free yourself from cleaning troubles, why not?

As an editor focusing on the product line of sweeping robots, I have been increasingly exposed to new products and evaluations of sweeping robots in recent years. With the further development of the intelligent era, the role of the physical remote controller equipped with the sweeping robot is gradually being used. Weakening. So, is the advent of the smart era, and is it a little redundant to have a sweeping robot equipped with a physical remote?

The physical remote control is weakening. Is the smart phone the next-generation remote control?

2014 was an eruption year for the sweeping robot industry. From there, the sweeping robots that began to produce began to make tremendous progress in the degree of intelligence. The sweeping robots began tearing down the “no brain” labels that were pasted on themselves. By 2015-2016, more and more platforms have opened intelligent and convenient doors for sweeping robots. The user's control of sweeping robots is not limited to the physical remote controllers provided by the manufacturers, but can also be controlled remotely through the smart phone APP. machine. So there will be a smart phone is the new generation of remote control.

Easy to understand the status of the machine, cleaning at a glance

After the sweeper is controlled by the smart phone, the user can very intuitively see the status of the machine on the mobile phone APP, including information such as work status, power, and consumables, and some of the APPs can see the built-in sweeper during the work of the machine. Virtual maps of the scene, as well as areas that have been cleaned and areas that have not yet been cleaned, are certainly not available with ordinary physical remotes.

More remote control than physical remote

Furthermore, using a smart phone to remotely control sweepers, there is a very practical advantage that can be avoided by the physical remote control within the control range (usually 3-5 meters), can be in any of the wifi coverage environment The scene controls the machine with heart and is ideal for lazy people. Besides, for some people who like to lose their lives, the remote control may be lost. However, this type of personal belongings such as a mobile phone is basically on the body for a long time. Therefore, there is no problem that the control source of the sweeper cannot be found.

Make home appliances no longer boring

In the past, smart sweeping robots gave us a sense of boring and dullness. It was nothing more than a sweeping machine that would walk around by itself. However, since the sweeper can be controlled by a smart phone, the communication and interaction between the machine and the user are increased, and the sweeper becomes more “vital”. It is no longer as boring as it used to be, and users feel more useable. It is like raising a small pet that will clean up.

Is there no need for a physical remote control?

As mentioned earlier, using a smart phone to control sweeping robots is superior to most physical remote controls in terms of visual experience and remote control range compared to physical remote controls. From another point of view, we can't have household appliances such as sweeping robots at home. There are many home appliances such as TVs, air conditioners, set-top boxes, etc. Each home appliance is equipped with a physical remote control. The end result is a pile of remote controls at home. This really makes people feel very headaches. So, is there no need for the physical remote control to exist?

WiFi network still has limitations

Although the use of smart phones to operate smart home appliances allows users to gain a lot of convenience, smart phones as connecting media have their own limitations that must rely on wifi networks. When the wifi in the home fails, the smart phone will not be able to continue to assume the responsibility of acting as a "remote control device." At this point, the physical remote controller will be used.

Non-intelligent home appliances still need physical remote control

In fact, home appliances that can be controlled using smart phones are mostly new-generation smart home appliances. For some old traditional home appliances, they do not have the function of “touching the net”. Therefore, if users want to make them obedient, they have to rely on physical remote controls.

Some users still like the physical remote control

Although we are all talking about how easy it is to use a smart phone APP to control smart home appliances, for some users (such as the elderly at home), it is extremely complicated and complicated to open operations such as connecting a mobile phone APP with a product. Furthermore, using a physical remote to turn on/off the appliance, this action has already engendered a deep imprint in our memory. It has also become a subconscious action instruction of ours. Now it is replaced with the use of a smart phone to open home appliances. It feels weird.

Full text summary: In general, although the frequency of the use of traditional physical key remotes has been reduced in the use of some new home appliances, physical remotes are still supposed to be in the home appliance industry. Enjoy an important position. In my opinion, at this stage, physical remote control and smart phone APP control, these two do not need to replace each other, they are more of a complementary relationship, after all, the definition of the launch of the remote control, originally intended to facilitate the user. Therefore, the physical remote control will still have an important position in the home appliance industry.
