My home, which is being smarted by adding a device little by little to the lighting, key, and power plug, with a device little by little.However, I have a feeling that it will be inconvenient if it is finally planned and expanded.The biggest problem is that the entrance and the interface for the operation are different depending on the device.
操作場所を統一できないスマートホームデバイスに四苦八苦For example, "Philips Hue" is used for lighting.This can of course be operated from a dedicated app, and with Android smartphones, you can also put widgets on the home screen.It can also be controlled from the Google Home app and the Amazon Alexa app, and of course you can talk to a smart speaker and turn it on and off.Cooperation with IFTTT is OK.
今のところ「Philips Hue」は家全体で5個あるフル機能を使えるのはやはり専用アプリThe smart lock "Sesami MINI" attached to the entrance door can also be operated with a dedicated application.However, there is no widget function, and even if it can be registered on the Google Home app, it cannot be operated.It does not support Amazon Alexa, and there is no function to operate with a smart speaker as a standard (although this is safe considering security).However, cooperation with IFTTT is now possible.
「セサミ mini」は2個専用アプリ上からの操作が基本。レスポンスはもう少し改善してほしいところThe power plug is TP-Link's "smart plug", which has a widget in addition to a dedicated application, and can be operated on and off from Google Home apps, Amazon Alexa apps and smart speakers.Since it supports cooperation with IFTTT, it can be said that the function is almost the same as Hue.

The infrared remote control unit uses TEPCO's "Mirai Remocon" to operate the air conditioner and TV in the living room.This is basically operated from a dedicated app, and there is no widget.Although it can be registered in the Google Home app and the Amazon Alexa app, only the air conditioner can operate to some extent, and the TV cannot be done in detail.Although it is possible to execute a simple order via a smart speaker, there are some lack of power in full use.It does not support IFTTT.
「MIRAI REMOCON」は難しい事前設定なしに使いはじめられるのが特徴登録したエアコンの操作画面。こちらもアプリでの操作が基本で、他の操作方法の選択肢は多くないOverall, Hue and smart plug interfaces are substantial, but Sesami Mini and Mirai Remocon are not good at touch points.After all, all of these cannot be unified in one interface, and some have to be operated with individual apps.
Although there are not so many types of devices in my home, the operation is already becoming troublesome due to the inconvenience of the interface.When you try to do something, remember which smart home device is on which app, and then launch the app and turn it on and off is more stressful than you think.
The most easy -to -understand manipulation is the Google Home app, where Hue, smart plugs and air conditioners can be unified.However, the operation of Sesami MINI and TV is different.The most unified feeling is that all of them can be operated from the home screen, but the bottleneck is that neither Sesami mini nor Mirai Remocon supports widgets.
一番まとまっているのはGoogle Homeアプリ。スマートスピーカーのGoogle Homeを使った音声操作もできるが、声で命令するというのはわりと面倒だったりするHowever, since Sesame MINI is compatible with IFTTT, it is possible to place locking and unlocking buttons on the home screen with the function of the IFTTT button widget.It takes a little time and there is a drawback that if you are wideted with IFTTT, you will have to wait about 10 seconds after tapping, but you can now operate directly from the home screen except for the air conditioner and TV of Mirai Remocon.
セサミ miniはIFTTTでボタンウィジェットとして登録することができる各種アプリやIFTTTを使って、スマートホームデバイスのオンオフボタンを可能な限りホーム画面に配置したところ。見た目の統一感が出ないのは仕方ないか……However, even if you think about it and devise it, the air conditioner and TV of Mirai Remocon cannot be unified with others.The only way to solve this problem is to introduce another infrared remote control product for IFTTT cooperation.Before enhancing your smart home device, you will often find out what you use to operate, and that it is important to choose a suitable product.
In recent years, the number of smart functions of home appliances itself has a smart function, but unless everything is in the same manufacturer, the situation must be the same as my home.Even if you can use the minimum personally you want to use, you often need to solve it, and if you think about home automation where multiple devices are linked ... it feels like an endlessly far away.
