Connected Kettle From Xiaomi: Presentation

The last toy received is a connected kettle of Xiaomi. Because there is no reason that the kitchen escapes from its connected gadgets first and then because if it is Xiaomi it should be not bad.

This kettle is available for about 42.53 € on Banggood, a single model, a single color. The kettle has a Bluetooth connection, which will be more limiting than the iKettle of Smarter which it has Wifi.

The Xiaomi kettle

Let's start with the kettle itself. Xiaomi quality, no complaints. It is a kettle of great capacity (1,5L) and on its foot, it has good pace since it does not exceed.

A button on the top to open the flapper. Two small touch buttons to light and keep warm (I would come back to this point because it is an advantage of this kettle)

Negative side:

The cable is too short for my taste so it is a pity

The two touch buttons have text in Chinese, ok Xiaomi is Chinese for the Chinese market first but it's a shame not to take a little drawing emoticon type, symbol ...

Back in usage:

The kettle is silent compared to previous models that I could have (big consumers of the kettle at home)

The function keeps you warm is great for hot water when you need it. For example, there I caught a cold this weekend, suddenly when I want to take a ginger tea I move once in my office and I come back with no wasting time. Before it's stupid but many times I put in hot water, forgotten and when I came back I had to turn it on again.

The kettle on the phone

The kettle is used with the Mi Home app. It is added by scanning with Bluetooth enabled.

The screen of the kettle shows the temperature of the water (utility probably the small piece of metal in the kettle) and the bottom comes alive with the bubbles as seen a little here.

We find actions fairly basic or rather simple because of no need for more. What warm-up period, what temperature.

We can access the types of temperatures created by Xiaomi and there we can see the Chinese origins (baby rice flour, but especially coffee kettle ...)

So the app goes to the basics, I did not think to find more see even less.

And Jeedom?

So for sure, BLEA will give you the presence of the boil if an antenna is in range ... How useless for an object that should not move? Good ok

We will see if Ludo will manage to integrate the kettle in BLEA. I want to say if it's possible it will happen.

This was my first question at reception, but after a little use, it seems less essential. The ability to set a heating time with a shelf life at temperature makes it less critical. And that's the first benefit I see the warm-up time. So roughly from 6 am to 8 am, the water can stay hot so that everyone is hot water.

The Bluetooth on this point will have the limit of the range. But who is not going to put BLEA antennas all over his house? It is surely a next presentation that I would make you a screen deportee in the kitchen.

Part 2: Xiaomi Aqara Smart Switch (Single Key)

 4. The gateway has several types of actions that we can choose, and here we want to play a sound when the button is activated, choose: "  Play designated ringtone ".

5. Choose among the proposed sounds, the ringtone "  Doorbell tone  " is made for our use. You can also choose the volume of the ringtone, then confirm by clicking Confirm and  OK on the scene page.

6. The scene now appears in the " Automation " tab, you can activate or deactivate it here.

Jeedom

This paragraph will address the compatibility with the Jeedom home automation solution and requires to have previously installed the plugin Xiaomi Home.

Assuming you already have a gateway declared in Jeedom, your new equipment will be automatically reassembled in the list of objects when you have included it in Mi Home in the previous step.

Bonus: Recently, the plugin Xiaomi Home includes an inclusion feature, to add modules to a gateway without the Mi Home application as we have described in the previous paragraph.

Edit the equipment, you will only have to rename it, choose a part and a category

It is a switch, so the controls are few. The state of the switch will be raised by an event to Jeedom in the " Status  " command when it is activated. Battery status information is also available.

The switch handles only one type of support, the simple click, no double or long click as it is possible on other models. This does not offer a lot of opportunities.

Scenario example

Here is an example of a basic scenario to illustrate its use in Jeedom of managing a Yeelight bulb.

For this, it will be necessary to create a scenario with as triggering event the switch:

One could imagine a more complex scenario using Jeedom's MODE plugin. This would change the mode, the house is based on the principle absent/ day/night and thus automate all actions of arrival or departure of the house with a single button to save time.

Conclusion

As always, the product offered is very good quality, well finished and at a great price. We regret only for this product that it is not proposed several events such as long click, or double click to increase its possibilities.

Compatibility with Jeedom through the Mi Home plugin will allow you to exploit it to its fullest and even beyond what it is designed for.

Part 1: Xiaomi Aqara Smart Switch (Single Key)

We present you today a connected switch from the Aqara range: the Xiaomi Aqara Smart Switch. This is the single-push wireless version. We will explain how to configure it in the Mi Home application and show you how it can be integrated into Jeedom.

Characteristics

The switch is powered by a CR2032 coin cell battery and must be paired with the Xiaomi smart home Gateway. It is thanks to this that we will then be able to manage scenarios to interact with our different connected equipment.

Here is a summary of the features.

Protocol: ZigBee

Dimensions: 8.70 x 8.70 x 1.50 cm

Power supply: CR2032 battery

Gateway Xiaomi required

Unpacking

Being a simple accessory of the Aqara range, the packaging remains fairly basic.

The protection of the switch in the box is a bit fair, but it is obviously enough for the product arrives in good condition up to us.

The content is complete: inside, you will find enough to fix the switch (wireless) with a large double-sided sticker thick enough, or with two screws provided.

If you choose the screw-fastening option, you will need to drill the base in the intended locations. The spacing of the holes corresponds to the spacing of those of the flush-mounted boxes that are commercially available.

Mi Home

Configuration

In the Mi Home app on your smartphone, click on the Gateway and then on the Device tab at the top right.

Then, you find the modules already configured and at the bottom of the button to add a new device Add sub-device.

Choose the Wireless Remote Switch model (Single Rocker) and wait for the Gateway to ask you to begin embedding. From this point on, press and hold the switch for about 5 seconds.

If the operation worked, the application will ask you to give a name to the switch and assign it to a room

When the installation is complete, the switch appears in the equipment list.

Creating a scene

Now that the equipment is set up, we will be able to have it interact with the Xiaomi ecosystem.

I propose a very simple little scenario to illustrate the stage principle. As a push-type switch, we can imagine using it to turn on / off a connected bulb, or to make a bell to replace its chime. It is the latter that I will present to you.

From the Mi Home application home:

1. Click on the Switch object, then in the " Auto  " tab on "  Add Automation  " to add a scene.

2. In the " Add a new Scene " window, the trigger is already set, so just choose an action in the "  Then  " section by clicking on "  Add ".

3. Then choose the equipment you want to control in "  Smart Devices ", in our case it will be the Gateway.

Review of the Xiaomi Smart Robot Cleaner

For people who have work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., it’s exhausted to find out that there are rooms that need to be clean when you are back to home. Thanks to the technology, there is robot vacuum cleaner that could help us with the cleaning. However, there are too many robot vacuum cleaners from different brands, and most of those robot vacuum cleaners are not as satisfying as we expect them to be. Since most of those robot vacuum cleaners clean the floor in a random way, which means that some areas are missed. In view of that, today, I am going to share with you the Xiaomi smart robot cleaner.

I have two British longhair cats at home, which means there is cat hair all over my house. It’s a really great big headache for me to get rid of their hair in my house since I have to spend time on cleaning the floor at least twice a week by using the vacuum cleaner. However, it’s such a time-wasting job for me, and I do feel really tired after the cleaning. So, I got one of those Xiaomi robot vacuums from smart home system and hoped that it would be helpful.

As we know, smartphone from Xiaomi is sold well, and now, Xiaomi has produced different smart home products. And the Xiaomi robot vacuum is one of those smart home products. As other smart home products, this one is smarter than many robot vacuums, because it has advanced floor plan mapping. With this smart mapping, it could clean up the floor thoroughly without missing any area in your room. After mapping your room, it could show the route on your smart phone.

To map your rooms accurately, it features with 12 different types of sensors, for example, the laser distance sensor, which is poking out of the top. Aside from the laser distance sensor, there are wall sensor, dust bin sensor, collision sensor, ultrasonic radar sensor, and cliff sensor. These sensors play an important role to making Xiaomi robot vacuum much smarter, such as avoiding falling from the stairs and avoiding compact.

After fully charging, it could work about 2 hours and 45 minutes which is actually depends on the design of your house. However, it is kind of noisy during the cleaning, although it cleans up the room very fast. In view of that, I would love to leave it cleaning the room and head out for work. Besides, my two cats are really curious about it.

In short, this Xiaomi robot vacuum does work well in my house for getting rid of the cat hair. And it’s cheaper and smarter than many robot vacuum cleaners anyway.

The brushes of the Xiaomi robot vacuum adjust their rotation speed automatically to achieve a balance between energy saving and cleaning efficiency, concluding from 130 rpm to 330 rpm.
