Can a smart speaker can operate the power supply of all home appliances? Can I realize it with a "remote control plug": Masahiro Yamaguchi's smart speaker life (page 1/2)
If you have a smart remote control such as "Eremote" or "Nature Remo" introduced so far in this series, you will be able to operate various home appliances that can use infrared remote control with a voice command from a smart speaker.
The next step is to make it possible to control with audio from smart speakers, even for home appliances without such remote control functions.Even if complex operations are impossible, but only power on and off, the width of the operation will be greatly expanded.
This is possible if you attach it to the base of the outlet of home appliances and use an infrared remote control that can turn on and off.This time, let's try Om Electric's OCR-05W, a typical product.
オーム電機「OCR-05W」Attach to the root of the electric equipment and turn on and off the power
Om Electric's OCR-05W is a remote control plug that is attached to the tip of the outlet.Among these remote control plugs, products that can be operated with Wi-Fi are commonly called smart plugs, and many are commercially available overseas, but there are almost no product lineups in Japan.
The reason is that 3P is the mainstream of overseas power plugs, while Japan is 2P specifications, so one is required to have a conversion plug.Another major reason is that it is necessary to acquire a technical mark to use Wi-Fi.As far as I know, almost all of the products sold on Amazon are not suitable, and it is illegal to use in Japan.
However, if it is not a Wi-Fi but an infrared remote control, there is no need to obtain a skill.Om Electric's OCR-05W is a representative example, and the actual selling price is inexpensive at the 1000 yen range (tax included).
製品パッケージ。AmazonではOEMと思しきノーブランドモデルも存在するが、機器の性格上、メーカーの保証が付いた製品を選んだ方がよいだろう製品本体（左）と付属リモコン（右）。やや大柄なのがネック電源プラグは日本国内向けの2P仕様。最大容量は800Wだ壁面コンセントに接続している電源プラグの根元に……本製品を取り付ければ設置完了。大柄なので隣接するポートとやや干渉しやすいのがネック利用に当たっては、スマートリモコン製品にリモコンの赤外線信号を登録し、操作できるようにするCan be operated from a smart speaker via a smart remote control
OCR-05W is easy to use, just attach it to the base of the home appliance outlet.The maximum capacity is 800W.After that, by registering with a smart remote control so that the same signal as the remote control attached to the home appliance product can be issued, it will be possible to operate with a voice command from "Amazon Echo" or "Google Home".
This time, I registered with EREMOTE and Nature Remo, a smart remote control, assuming that it is used to turn on and off the power of the LED lighting on hand.The former is a combination of Amazon Echo, and the latter is a combination of Google Home, but both were available without any problems.
「eRemote」での設定の流れ。「eHome」アプリで家電の追加画面を表示し、リモコンのオンおよびオフの信号を学習させる（画像＝左）。動作確認して問題なければ「はい」を選択（画像＝右）OCR-05Wは電源オンとオフの2ボタンしかないので、残りのボタンはグレーアウトしたままの状態で学習を完了させる（画像＝左）。「Amazon Alexa」アプリの「スマートホーム」でデバイスの検出を行うと、対象の機器、ここでは「照明」が表示されるので有効にすれば設定完了だ（画像＝右）こちらは「Nature Remo」での設定の流れ。「家電の追加」の画面を表示し、本体にリモコンを向けてボタンを押し、オンとオフそれぞれの信号を登録する（画像＝左）。今回は「LED」と名前を付けて保存した（画像＝右）LEDに対する操作として「電源オン」「電源オフ」の2つのコマンドを登録した（画像＝左）。ここで設定したコマンドは後述のIFTTTのプルダウンメニューに表示される。IFTTTの新規アプレット作成画面で「Google Assistant」を選び、「Say a simple phrase」を選択（画像＝右）今回は「LED」と名付けた照明のオン・オフに使用するので、音声コマンドとして「LEDを消して」を指定（画像＝左）。加えて「LEDを切って」「LEDをオフにして」など、言い換えフレーズも念のために登録しておく。音声コマンドを受け取った場合に動作する機器として「Nature Remo」を選び、選択肢の中から「LED - 電源オフ」を選択して保存（画像＝右）。この後に、対になる電源オンのアプレットも作成すれば設定完了だThe OCR-05W does not have a power switch on the main unit, and is specialized in the operation of the remote control, so the power cannot be turned on on the main unit side.
Therefore, if the Internet line is temporarily interrupted and the smart speaker cannot be used, the attached remote control must be used or the product must be completely removed.It is a point that is surprisingly easy to become a neck.
