After a year to Beijing, the first time received a year ago to book the Haier Intelligent Formaldehyde detector (aldehyde know), can't wait to open the package experience.

Today's smart home products are a lot of attention to indoor air, but most of the focus on the PM2.5 air quality, the health hazards of greater formaldehyde content monitoring, generally not standard. The cost is the main reason, the measurement of formaldehyde electrochemical sensor, the higher cost.

For example, the following image of the traditional professional domestic 4160 formaldehyde detector, the price is as high as 10,000, stupid, heavy, expensive, there will be no home users to buy. Haier this formaldehyde detector price is 599 yuan, for a function of relatively single intelligent hardware, is not too cheap, but in the formaldehyde test, the professional equipment to achieve miniaturization and intelligence, to buy this price is a lot cheaper.

Haier this formaldehyde detector can play the place is mainly two aspects, one is the measurement, one is intelligent monitoring, that is, the mobile phone can be real-time through the app to see the value of formaldehyde measurement.

First look at the test

Testing, recently because the new home decoration soon, the formaldehyde content has been a doubt, in the end home formaldehyde content, home, wall unreliable, on the health of the family there is no harm? Now formaldehyde is measured in addition to electrochemical sensors, another way is to use chemical reagents, that is, the so-called test box, the price of 15 yuan per agent, can only single point, in fact, not cheap, I have measured 3 times, but each result of large differences, so wondering, I hope Haier this product can be measured several times to give a reassuring value.

(Electrochemical formaldehyde measurement sensor)

Aldehyde know the front is a close to 3 inch LCD screen, mainly display three values, formaldehyde concentration, to mg/m? As the unit, measuring accuracy of 0.01, the range 0~2mg/m, the general safety value in 0.1mg/m, aldehyde know set is 0.06mg/m? The other two values are temperature and humidity.

There is a power button on the right, and a network matching button on the right-hand side. The back is two main sensors, the formaldehyde concentration sensor and the temperature and humidity sensor.

After the power is started, after a few seconds, temperature and humidity data display, after the formaldehyde value display. General measurement home formaldehyde concentration, must first airtight door and window about 12 hours, reduce ventilation interference. The final number is 0.01, at most to 0.02, this let me rest assured that the concentration of formaldehyde at home is not as scary as imagined. May be because of a slight decoration aftertaste, let people worry, in fact, formaldehyde is colorless and tasteless, so, even if you smell home decoration smell, and formaldehyde is not directly related.

Intelligent Monitoring

Because it is a new product, a year ago to hear aldehyde know product manager said, application software is still in debugging, get this product software has been available, the function has been relatively perfect.

The client now has only the iOS version, in the mobile phone upload good application, according to the prompts to enter the WiFi password, press and hold aldehyde know the network pairing button, paired successfully. The formaldehyde concentration, temperature and humidity values shown in real time can be seen in the main interface.

Because the data can be recorded continuously, you can see the change of the temperature and humidity formaldehyde concentration 24 hours on the trend page.

Additional Features

Aldehyde know more useful an additional function is, built-in infrared remote control functions, such as intelligent remote control, you can learn some infrared commands to control air-conditioning, and then realize the home temperature and humidity adjustment.

At the same time, the software also added some social functions, such as the sharing of applications and data, but also in the application of the forum interaction, the testing phase of the participants are relatively few.

Software also has some need to improve the place, such as forum Interactive user name is not a user nickname, but a string of code and so on.

A point of discussion

As a home appliance giant, Haier is now actively promoting intelligent home appliances products, aldehyde know this formaldehyde detector is an example.

In my use, aldehyde know already is a 70 cent product, compact and practical, stable and reliable. But there is a lot of room for improvement, such as batteries, built-in lithium battery endurance of less than 24 hours, so if you want to achieve 24-hour monitoring, can only be connected to the power supply.

In addition, the mobile phone through the app to view the data, now does not support the extranet view, can not export data, can not choose to view a certain time of day data. Intelligent detector and mobile phone in the same LAN view, this some inconvenience, I believe this is Haier smart home team to solve the problem, since the detector has been connected to the WiFi network to achieve it is not difficult.
