七款最实用的智能家居设备

温度控制：Nest恒温器（249美元）/霍尼韦尔无线智能恒温器（249美元） |
Temperature Control: Nest Thermostat ($249)/Honeywell Wifi Smart Thermostat ($249) |

这两款恒温器都可以让你用智能手机控制家里的温度，无论你在世界的哪个角落。此外，这两款产品还会根据你的行为，自动获悉你的温度偏好，并相应地调整温度。在有关霍尼韦尔（Honeywell）或谷歌Nest（Google Nest）的论战中，我们不会有所偏袒。Nest的拥趸沉醉于其便捷的安装过程和简约的设计，霍尼韦尔的粉丝则喜欢该公司产品更为细致的控制功能。霍尼韦尔最近还推出了一款新产品Lyric（279美元），它模仿了Nest的设计，能够利用你手机的定位功能，在你离家和回家时即刻调节温度。然而，用户表示它仍然存在许多漏洞，还是愿意继续使用更实用（也更笨重）的老款霍尼韦尔智能恒温器。 危害检测：Nest Protect（99美元） |
Both of these thermostats let you control your home's temperature from anywhere in the world using your smartphone. Furthermore, these two products automatically learn your temperature preferences based on your behavior and adjust your thermostat accordingly. We’re not going to take sides on the Honeywell vs. Google Nest debate. Nest fanatics rave about the ease of installation and minimalistic design, while Honeywell fans like the more nuanced control of Honeywell's Smart Thermostat. Honeywell just introduced a new product, the Lyric ($279), which piggybacks off of Nest’s design, with the additional ability use your smartphone’s location to adjust the temperature as you come and go in real-time. However, users are saying it’s still riddled with bugs and to stick to the more useable (but clunkier) Honeywell Smart Thermostat. Hazard Detection: Nest Protect ($99) |

Nest Protect是一款家用火灾报警器，如果房间里有烟雾或一氧化碳，它会报警并告知它们的源头。一旦出现这类异常状况，或是设备的电池需要更换，你的智能手机都会发出提醒。更妙的是，手机应用还可以让你预先设定紧急措施。（因为，老实说，我们当中有谁能够在紧急情况下当机立断？）出现紧急状况后，该应用会给你发一份定制的实用指南清单。Protect也拥有所有Nest产品所共有的极简风格，可以满足那些注重设计的顾客的需求。 |
Nest Protect is a home fire alarm that will tell you if there’s smoke or CO in your house and where it’s coming from. You can get phone alerts whenever it goes off or when the battery needs to be changed. Better yet, the phone app lets you create an emergency plan ahead of time (because, be honest now, who among us has gotten around to creating an emergency plan?). In the event of an emergency the app will send you a customized list of useful tips. And for those who care about design, it has the sweet minimalism that’s characteristic of all of Nest's products. |
