I-Amazon Smart Plug ingeza izilawuli ze-Alexa kunoma iyiphi idivayisi, kodwa ingabe lokhu kuyisinqumo esifanele sezidingo zakho? Sizokudlulisa
I-plugin ye-Amazon Smart iyindlela ye-Amazon yokwengeza izilawuli ezihlakaniphile kunoma iyiphi idivayisi nge-Alexa. I-smart plug iyingxenye encane ewusizo kakhulu yekhithi yasekhaya ehlakaniphile, ikuvumela ukuthi ulawule izinto zikagesi “ezixakile,” njengezibani nanoma yiziphi ezinye izinto ezingaxhunywa kumapayipi amakhulu—zingavulwa noma zivalwe nge-smartphone, noma zingathunyelwa ngokuzenzakalelayo .
Ungaqala umshini wekhofi ngaphambi kokuya phansi. Kuzwakala sengathi kukhona umuntu osekhaya lapho indlu ingenalutho, futhi kukhona abaningi. Lapha, sizofunda enye yamadivayisi avelele kakhulu emakethe: I-Amazon Smart Plug.
Uma uthenga idivayisi yasekhaya ehlakaniphile, khona-ke kungenzeka ukuthi ubone ama-smart plugs amaningi okukhulunywe ngawo-mhlawumbe akwenzeki ukwazi kahle ukuthi ayini nokuthi asebenza kanjani. Baningi abakhiqizi abakha futhi badayise ama-smart plug, kodwa bonke banemisebenzi efanayo.
Okokuqala, uma lawa ma-smart plugs esexhunywe ku-outlet yamandla, angalawulwa ngohlelo lokusebenza oluwumngane ocingweni. Amadivayisi amaningi asebenza ngoxhumo lwe-Wi-Fi, nakuba amanye amadivayisi asebenzisa i-Bluetooth kanye/noma esikhundleni se-Wi-Fi.

Cishe wonke ama-smart plugs emakethe angasebenza njengoba kuhleliwe, ngakho-ke angakwazi (ngokwesibonelo) ukucisha ngemva kwenani elithile lamahora nemizuzu, noma avulwe ngesikhathi esithile sosuku, njalo njalo. Yilapho ama-smart plugs aqala khona ukuba wusizo ikakhulukazi kuzilungiselelo zasekhaya ezihlakaniphile.
Engeza isilawuli sezwi nge-Amazon Alexa noma i-Google Assistant, lawa madivayisi alula anezici eziningi kunalokho ocabanga ngakho. Cishe asetshenziswa kakhulu nezibani, aguqule amadivayisi “abuthuntu” abe yizinto “ezihlakaniphile,” ezingase zihlanganiswe kalula nezinye izilungiselelo zakho zasekhaya ezihlakaniphile.

I-Amazon Smart Plug ingasetshenziswa ne-Alexa futhi ingalungiselelwa ngohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Alexa. Ngemuva kokuthi ukusetha kuqediwe, uma uzwa idivayisi ye-Alexa (njenge-Amazon Echo) kumahedisethi, ungayilawula ngezwi.
