Smart gifts for the new year
New Year - a time of miracles and gifts, which are worthy of not only children but also adults. Each of us has their own preferences, somebody needs expensive perfume number 5 or a fur coat, I'm also very interested in the different electronic gadgets.
My family shares this interest, so I decided to put presents under the Christmas tree, which will make the home more comfortable and more intelligent.
Yandex. station mini
The most important and welcome gift (of course, in my opinion) is clever Yandex. station mini - it is a cheaper version of the big stations. For the compact size necessary to pay off the sound quality, but I do not listen to music too loudly. To get a rich sound with this chips, you can connect external speakers.
But it takes up little space and can accommodate a secluded place without standing in some. I plan to use the column as a personal secretary. On the specifics of the work I have a lot to communicate with different people, so the secretary can not hurt me. I think Yandex. Mini station with Alice on the board handle.
In addition, the station will be a great alarm clock and a story-teller of fairy tales, so that with proper approach you get an intelligent assistant for business and home affairs.

The robot cleaner Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Next New Year's gift will appreciate and the beautiful half of humanity, and men who are not very strong in economic matters - it robot vacuum cleaner from Xiaomi. In fact, the merits of this unit a lot, so I will say about the shortcomings.
Because of this sensor unit 1 cm above its competitors, which may cause a bit of trouble when cleaning under the chest of drawers and wardrobes. And with him you can not throw socks at home, will have to gently fold them into the basket.
The rest is a great gadget that is controlled via a smart home system. The vacuum cleaner is connected to the Yandex. Station, and to enable it, you just need to ask about this voice assistant - Alice. Perfect for maintenance of cleanliness, cleaning dust and crumbs from cookies.

The next gadget in our Christmas collection becomes Home Accessories "smart" house - socket (who would have thought). To use it, you do not need any alterations, as it is inserted into a standard outlet and after a simple setup is ready.
Managed network Wi-Fi through special application and the same Alice. It enables the distance enable and disable any device connected through it.
The only drawback is its size sockets. If you have a dual socket, then turn into the second slot has a "smart" will be problematic. Acquainted with the socket and its characteristics can be this link.
LED bulb E27 Xiaomi
The next gift, without which it is as difficult to imagine a smart home, smart light is from a Chinese company Xiaomi. It integrates all existing ecosystem of smart homes, in particular, is friends with Alice. Controlled through a variety of applications, and is connected on the network via the normal Wi-Fi router.
The drawback that I can pick out the lamp - is its weight, that is, in the light table lamps it is better not to install, and to illuminate the large room one lamp is not enough.
The lamp itself to learn and can be ordered here this link.
Other products that can be connected to Alice, I'm looking at Yandex. Market. For this purpose there is a special filter called "Ecosystem", and on the goods themselves marked "Works with Alice."
