My home transforms into the future with a smart plug & smart speaker!Simulate your daily life with TP-Link "HS105" and "Amazon Echo"
"Wake up" Starts a smart speaker at the beginning of the 1st to 1st day
The Amazon Echo series is an item that allows you to operate HS105 by voice.Many of these smart speakers are not equipped with battery, and are constantly operating with the AC power supply connected.In the Echo, first calls "Alexa" and then talks about the order you want to do, but you need to wait to be able to respond to such users at any time.
Amazon Echo Dot(左)とEcho Plus(右)。朝起きてから電源を入れることで、節電につなげられるAlthough the waiting electricity is not so large, you will not use it while the user is asleep.If there is a way to easily cut power consumption in the meantime, I would like to try it to save electricity.So HS105 is the appearance.The key is "when to turn on the power."
The simplest way to turn on the power when you get up is to use the "schedule" function of the HS105 application "KASA".Select the HS105 connected to the smart speaker from the "Smart Plug" list of the app and set it from "schedule".If you are always awakening at the same time every morning, it is recommended to specify the time a little before you get up (because it takes a few minutes for Echo to start and wait).
Instead, if the timing of waking up differs depending on the day, flick the time part of the schedule setting screen to the right and set it to "sunrise".By doing this, the power supply is switched on / off according to the day of the day used.If you get up after the morning sun starts climbing, you will be able to use a smart speaker as soon as you get up.
