Xiaomi Smart Home Installation Experience 5000 Send Two Rooms and One Hall

In this paper, taking my own actual situation as an example, combined with my own experience, starting from my personal needs, I will share the installation and precautions after purchasing all kinds of equipment. Originally, I planned to write an article about the equipment linkage and automation settings of Mijia, but after writing it, I found that there were more than 3,000 words. Considering the reason why I haven't read it for too long, I will open an article on linkage and automation settings separately.

Floor plans, shopping lists, and some simple and economical items.

The definition of the actual floor plan and the actual location of various equipment are slightly lower, but they should be generally understood.

The actual purchase list and the price at the time of purchase, the camera was bought by myself before, so I just filled in a reference, and then deducted the discount of the new roll by about 200 to 300, which is actually a little more than 5,000.

If you plan to transform your smart home, you can refer to my list and adjust your purchase appropriately. Basically, you can build a relatively complete Xiaomi smart home. Some simple precautions and money-saving skills.

0) Don't be smart just for the sake of being smart. For example, the entrance switch light is realized by the porch. The traditional scheme is that smart light bulbs or smart switches are combined with human body sensors, which add up to at least one or two hundred. Considering that the porch light hardly needs to be linked and won't stay for a long time, I spent ten yuan on Taobao to buy an ordinary infrared induction light bulb instead of the porch light bulb, and it's done! Can also sense light, Aka Gavintoo, save money and worry. Probably as shown below, non-advertising, invasion and deletion.

1) The number of human body and door and window sensors can be flexibly adjusted. The difference between the human body sensor made by Mijia and aqara is that aqara is a little more expensive but has more brackets and more light sensitivity. Personally, I use Mijia in places with poor light for a long time, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and aqara in places that don't need to be opened during the day, but sometimes the difference between aqara and Mijia is very small, so it is recommended to enter aqara. After all, I have to buy a bracket alone. The difference between Mijia and aqara is very small. The door and window sensors, that is, aqara's induction opening and closing distance, so some doorframes or cupboard doors are far away, so we should use aqara, otherwise Mijia will do. 2) About the transformation of switch socket and circuit.

Among them, it is mainly the replacement of wall switch and wall socket. When the dual-control circuit is changed to intelligent, it needs to be changed to single-control wireless switch to realize the dual-control and multi-control functions. My personal advice is, whether it is a professional electrician or someone with strong hands-on ability and a better understanding of circuit knowledge. Why don't you get an electrician to help you transform it? The price should be less expensive and safer. I know a little about the circuit myself, but I finally got an electrician to help me change the dual-control circuit, change a three-way switch into two, and replace all six switches and four wall sockets at home. It took about 2 hours, and finally it was charged to 240 yuan after asking for 300 yuan. I think it's still a good deal.

PS: A friend said that if there is no zero line, you can re-pull a zero line from the lamp to the switch position. I talked to the electrician about this problem. In fact, it is not recommended to do this, because the diameter of the telecom tube in the original wall is usually small, so it will be very difficult to re-thread the buried one, and it is most afraid that re-threading will destroy the original line, so it will not pay off. If you don't want to use a single fire switch, you can consider asking aqara service providers to use their two-way controllers.

PPS: As for offline service providers, friends often complain about high service fees and high prices. In fact, if you know better, you can customize the package according to your own needs. For example, even if 30% to 45% service charge is added to my list, the price should be controlled below 8000. In fact, it takes at least 10 to 200,000 to decorate a house. If you increase 1 0 to 20,000, you can upgrade to a smart home, which is actually worthwhile. If the solution is customized in my way, the server is actually only a few thousand pieces smaller, and these thousands of pieces actually include the cost of design survey, installation and debugging, and several years of on-site after-sales service. According to the current manual calculation, it is estimated that a renovation project will require n people to come to the door n times, and the price is still very conscience.

About how to deal with the offline service providers of Xiaomi Smart Home, how to customize the scheme and how to save money, friends in need can praise the message, and I will write a related article as soon as possible. .

2) I bought a lot of sockets. I bought a total of seven various outlets, and actually used them all, but many friends don't think they need that much, so I can reduce them appropriately. In addition to the consistency of styles, we can buy some aqara switches. In fact, the small switch of Mijia 39 is more cost-effective and practical. I bought aqara because it was out of stock when I bought it. Rubik's cube controller is actually not easy to use, the sensitivity is not high, and the six modes are often confused. The common method now is to shake it.

3) I bought it during the activity. When I bought it, it was the actual price, and many of them would be cheaper than the original price. In fact, activities can often be more favorable. For example, this double eleven feels unprecedented and much more cost-effective than what I bought before. However, it is not recommended to store goods in batches for too long, because it is not cost-effective to miss the return of goods for 7 days. If you are sure you don't need to return them, you can ignore them.

4) Use coupons in batches. Xiaomi has a new coupon for the first time. I actually bought three or four orders for the first time, which was almost two or three hundred extra.

Curtains, locks, etc. You can use it without buying it or reinstalling it later, so the entry threshold of Xiaomi smart home is really low, but more than 2,000 sensors with switch sockets can be matched together for the whole house decoration.

Matters needing attention in actual installation

1) switch zero fire line identification

Many friends don't know how to check whether the switch at home has zero line. Here is a relatively simple identification method. Look for a single-key switch at home, because it will be more difficult to judge if there are many multi-key switch lines. Open the cover of the one-button switch and look at the wires on the switch wall behind it. Usually only two lines have no zero line, and three lines have zero line. Because many switches actually use less than three wires, the third wire, that is, the zero wire, is likely to be wrapped with tape and buried deep in the box, which needs to be carefully identified. See the picture below for details. The zero line is a blue line wrapped with tape at the back. When changing the zero fire switch, it is necessary to remove the tape access switch, so that the zero fire switch can be used.

2) About the transformation of switch socket and circuit

Among them, it is mainly the replacement of wall switch and wall socket. When the dual-control circuit is changed to intelligent, it needs to be changed to single-control wireless switch to realize the dual-control and multi-control functions. My personal advice is, whether it is a professional electrician or someone with strong hands-on ability and a better understanding of circuit knowledge. Why don't you get an electrician to help you transform it? The price should be less expensive and safer. I know a little about the circuit myself, but I finally got an electrician to help me change the dual-control circuit, change a three-way switch into two, and replace all six switches and four wall sockets at home. It took about 2 hours, and finally it was charged to 240 yuan after asking for 300 yuan. I think it's still a good deal. The following figure is the actual circuit diagram of the switch in the living room of a friend's house. If you don't understand, please call an electrician. After all, safety comes first.

PS: A friend said that if there is no zero line, you can re-pull a zero line from the lamp to the switch position. I talked to the electrician about this problem. In fact, it is not recommended to do this, because the diameter of the telecom tube in the original wall is usually small, so it will be very difficult to re-thread the buried one, and it is most afraid that re-threading will destroy the original line, so it will not pay off. If you don't want to use a single fire switch, you can consider asking aqara service providers to use their two-way controllers.

PPS: As for offline service providers, friends often complain about high service fees and high prices. In fact, look at the ratio of material cost and labor cost in the decoration quotation now, and then compare the service fee. And if you know better, you can customize the package according to your own needs. For example, the price of my list, even with 30% to 45% service charge, should be controlled below 8000. In fact, it takes at least 10 to 200,000 to decorate a house. If you increase 1 0 to 20,000, you can upgrade to a smart home, which is actually worthwhile.

3) Install smart door locks and curtains.

Smart door locks Many friends don't know if their doors can be installed, and they often don't have accurate answers when asking customer service. My suggestion is to buy it first, and then apply for installation. After the actual installation personnel come to see it, a clear conclusion can be drawn. Because according to my actual communication with the locksmith, the conclusion is that there is no way to correctly judge whether it can be installed according to the official website test method. It's possible that official website said that it's easy to pretend that you can't, but it's very troublesome to pretend. But one thing is certain, that is, doors that are too thin or too thick may not fit. This kind of installer will know at a glance, and then he will let you apply for a return. The key return is free, but it takes a little spare time to wait for the staff to come to the door.

Many friends in intelligent curtain have said that you only need to buy your own motor and customize the installation guide rail. However, this is suitable for friends with strong hands-on ability, because the installation of the guide rail is likely to need to punch holes in the wall, and it is usually relatively high. You can consider your hands-on ability and see if it is necessary. In addition, pay attention to distinguish between the power version and the battery version. The power version needs to consider whether there is a socket location. Then double-layer curtains need double motors and double tracks, curtain box width, monorail width at least 10 cm, and double-track width at least 20 cm.

4) About various sensors and gateways

The gateway needs to consider the number of devices accessed and what functions the gateway has. If zigbee gateway has zero-fire switch relay, it can basically have a wide transmission range, as long as the number does not exceed the limit. If there is no relay, the official recommendation is to walk through the wall within 7 meters at most. I didn't check the specific information about Bluetooth gateway, but most of it should not exceed 10 meter. My personal experience is that there is at most one wall, and the distance will be shortened after crossing the wall.

Various sensors, human body sensors need to be emphasized. First of all, the human body sensor can not only sense people and animals, but also trigger other moving objects, such as clothes on the balcony and curtains blown by the wind. However, we can change the coverage of the human body sensor by adjusting its direction, so as to avoid some accidental touches. For example, the sensor of my balcony is facing the living room, not directly facing the balcony and the outside. Then there is the problem that people automatically turn off the lights indoors. This can be solved in two ways, one is unknown placement, and the other is automatic setting of Mijia, which will be discussed later. When placing, try to put it in the direction corresponding to the front of the person. For example, washing dishes in the kitchen, if you are washing dishes in front of the sensor, although you are still moving, you certainly can't feel it without the lateral motion sensor. But if you are facing the sensor, even if you wash the dishes, the sensor can sense it, so it is not easy for people to turn off the lights automatically. The same is true of going to the toilet. In fact, if you look at the human body sensor in my plan carefully, you will know the orientation of the sensor. You can refer to it.

Door and window sensors need to be noted that they can be sensed without being stuck too tightly, so not only doors and windows, drawers, doors, closets and toilet lids can be used. Therefore, taking a bath and going to the toilet can also use the conditions added by door and window sensors to control lighting and electrical appliances, and it can also reduce the situation that people still turn off the lights. In the intelligent automation setting section, I feel that there are many pits to fill.

Other natural gas, such as the flood caused by smoke, mainly depends on the appropriate location. The natural gas sensor needs to be connected with 220v electricity, so pay attention to the position of the socket. It will be more accurate to put the thermometer as close as possible to the position where you often move, and it may be very different from the somatosensory feeling in the corner.

Finally, make a summary.

The equipment is simple and there are many skills to use. I have consulted many articles and videos of my predecessors and learned a lot. Now I want to share it with you. I hope everyone will be faster and take fewer steps on the road of transforming Xiaomi's smart home. I hope everyone will pay more attention if they like it. I'll fill the remaining holes as soon as possible. At present, I have tentatively written an article about how to find out how to save money for offline service providers of Xiaomi Smart Home, and an article about equipment linkage, multi-condition judgment and automatic setting.
