Te $1,200 Kīanga vs. he $58 kōrere whakakā: He aha te mea e aukati ana i te turuturu
Ka tangi te hōrori pēnei i te awa. I te mahi ahau; I tētahi wā ka haruru taku waea mō te "wai i kitea" mai i tētahi pūoko puck e te kaihoroi horoi, ā, i miria atu e au — i whakaaro ahau he pūoho hē noa iho tērā i te taka taka noa. I taku taenga atu ki te kāinga kua tukua katoatia te raina putunga i runga i te mīhini horoi, ā, kei te mānu te laminate. I tukuna e te hoa noho o raro tētahi pikitia o tōna tuanui e rite ana ki te mahere o Pārera. I tino mahia e taua puck te mea i hangaia ai. Nāna ahau i whakatūpato. Kaore i aukati i te maturuturu.
Koia tērā te rā i mutu ai taku hoko pūoho, ā, ka tīmata ahau ki te hoko i tētahi mea hei kati i te kōrere mōku.
He aha te pūoko anake ehara i te whakatika
Kia pono ki ngā mahi a aua kōpae iti. They beep, ka ping rātou i tō waea. Tino pai — mēnā kei te tū koe i roto i te rūma. Mēnā kei tō tēpu koe, i runga i te rerenga rererangi, or asleep, Kāore he mea e mahia ana e taua whakamōhiotanga ki te wai e ringihia tonu ana. Ko te pūoko turuturu he pūoho auahi i roto i tētahi whare kāore he tinei. E kī ana ki a koe he ahi; kāore e tineia. I hiahia ahau ki te tauaro: he mea i mate ā-tinana i te wai tuarua i puta mai ki te wāhi kāore e tika ana.
Te whāwhā o te huarahi: he "roro" o te whare katoa, he karetao kōrere rānei
Patohia te "wai atamai" ki tētahi mea, ā, ka tohu ngā pānuitanga i a koe ki ngā kaupane whare katoa i te tuatahi — ko ngā wae e mau ana ki tō matua mā te mita. Flo na Moen, Phyn. He tino mōhio: ka ako rātou i te waitohu pēhanga o tō kāinga, ā, ka mōhio rātou i ngā turuturu mai i te rere anake. Ka oma hoki rātau $450 ki $800 i mua i te whakapā atu o te paramu ki a rātou, a, no te mea kei te tapahi koe ki roto i te matua pēhi, Ko te tāuta tētahi atu $200 ki $400. E toru aku kīanga mo taku whare taone. Hakahaka: $690 katoa-mai. Tiketike: iti iho $1,200. I katia e au te ripa.
Na tētahi hoa i roto i te HVAC ahau i tohu ki te kāwai kāore e tino pana ana e ngā toa: Te Robot Valve Retrofit. Kaore e pā ki tō paipa. Ka mau ki te kōrere pōro kei a koe kē, ā, ka hurihuri. Motor, taiapa, clamp. Ko te mea i runga i taku paipa he WiFi/Bluetooth smart valve actuator Tuya - ka haere i roto i te taupānga Tuya Smart, Smart Life rānei, iPhone, Android rānei.
Hipa atu i te mākete, kāore e īnaki ana ngā mea e rua:
Ka mātakitaki te kaupane whare katoa i te rere me te whakatau. It’s passive until it decides something’s wrong, ā, ka taea e te tōrunga hē te tapahi i tō wai i waenganui o te ua.
A valve robot is dumb in the best way. Kāore e hiahiatia kia mārama ki ngā ngaru pēhanga. Me "kati ināianei," ka huri i te kakau. Herea ki tētahi $12 He ngāwari noa iho te pūoko waipuke i raro i te horoi horoi me te mekameka: Ka tuki te wai ki te pūoko → ka kī atu te pūoko ki te taupānga → ka kī atu te taupānga ki a robot → ka whakaweto te kōrere i roto i te 5–10 hēkona.
(Mō te pūkete, I titiro hoki ahau ki te kōrere whakaweto Z-Wave o Dome — huri noa $160, engari me whai pokapū, ā, kāore i a au tētahi. I toa te karetao Tuya i runga i te utu, ā, kāore ahau i hoko i ētahi atu taputapu.)
Mō tētahi wāhi e rēti ana ahau, ā, kāore i taea e au te whakatika i te tapahi matua, me te rangatira e kore rawa e haina i te nui o te paipa, Ehara te robot i te wāhi tuarua. Koia anake te karanga hauora.
He aha taku i hokona me te utu
Hāngai tonu ki te wae: he actuator valve atamai Tuya whānui, 125, WiFi + Nihokikou. Ko ngā tohu i whai take mai i te pouaka:
Kaha: 12Whāurutau V/1A (I tukuna atu e au me te pereki — mā ētahi mea māmā e homai e koe tāu ake)
Comms: 2.4GHz WiFi me Bluetooth mō te tatūnga. E kore tō tāhei 5GHz e takirua ki ēnei. Takiwa.
Whakatauranga pēhanga: 1.6 MPa — pai mō ngā putanga whare pūnoa
Ngā Uru: 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1.25" kōrere pōro (4Meneti / 6 inihi / 1 inihi / 1.25 inihi). Ko taku 3/4" kei te rārangi kaukau, dead center of the range
Whakatuwhera/kati: 5–10 hēkona
tōkeke: 30–60 kgf·cm — ka neke i te kakau mārō, e kore e whati i te mea whakatio
Manual override: a clutch pull-ring, nō reira ki te mate te hiko ka kumea e koe mā te ringa
He kaha te tārere o te utu e te kaihoko. Pūkawe Kore: mō $35 ki $90 puta noa i ngā mākete. Ko te "kete" me te whāurutau 12V me ngā topenga paipa: $45–$70. I paid $58 me te whāurutau me ngā clamps, i mua i te pūoko. Ko te pūoko waipuke tētahi atu $11. Karangatia ~$70 katoa-mai ki te $690 low quote for the whole-house route. Na taua tauhanga i hoko te hoko.
Kotahi te tepe pono: mēnā kua mau kē tō kakau i ngā tau o te waihotanga, mā tēnei mīhini e whawhai. E kī ana te pukapuka me kumea te mowhiti kopa me te tārere 90° mā te ringa; mēnā kua whakatio te kōrere tonu, whakahinuhinu, whakakapi rānei. Ehara i te whakatika mō ngā paipa waikura. Pānuitia hei "pupuri i ō kōrere," ehara i te "i rahua ahau."
He ngāwari kē atu te tāuta i taku wehi — engari me rārangi ngā pokapū
Ehara ahau i te paramu. Ka hurihia e au taku ake tātari oumu, ā, koia taku tuanui mō te DIY. Nā reira e rima ngā wā i pānui ai au i ngā hipanga.
Taiapa ki te taringa whakamau iti o te kōrere i te tuatahi - ā, he mārama ngā tohutohu kāore anō koe kia mau i taua tīwiri. Whakatikaina te taiapa ki te paipa, ki te pakitara rānei. Reti i te pūmana me te raweke kia noho pai rā anō te actuator ki runga i te kakau, Ngā raina tauwaenga kua whakaritea. Ko tērā wāhanga whakamutunga te wāhanga e tika ana kia tere te tangata. Mēnā kāore ngā pokapū i te rārangi, E kī ana te pukapuka e kore te kōrere e noho, ā, ka tunua e koe te mīhini. Tekau meneti i pau i a au te titiro noa. Koa i mahia e au.
Kātahi ko te whāurutau, a manual test (pull the clutch ring, tārere i te kakau, Whakaūngia te Nekeneke Wātea), kātahi ka takirua: Puritia te hiko ~5 hēkona kia tere te kimokimo o te rama, kōwhiria tō WiFi 2.4GHz, type the password, tatari kia 30–60 hēkona. Tuatahi whakamātauria e hono ana ki te tata ki 40. Te whakaaro nui o te wānanga: ki te kore e takirua, e iwa ngā wā i roto i te tekau ka peke te waea ki te 5GHz - whakapaea tērā i mua i ngā pūmārō.
Tapeke ā-ringa: iti iho i te hāwhe haora. Kāore he tapahi, no wrench on a live line, kāore he nama. Mō tētahi mea i whakahuatia e whā ngā whika hei "mahi tika," i tata ki te hara.
Te moka inihua e kore e kawea mai e te tangata kia pātai rā anō koe
I kitea tēnei e au i runga i te pokanoa. I muri i te kerēme, I tata tonu te kōrero a taku kaiwhakarite ka tapahia e ētahi kaikawe ngā utu mēnā he whakaweto aunoa tāu - ehara i te pūoho noa iho, he mea e aukati ana i te rere. In the US, Pāmu Kāwanatanga, Āhua Katoa, Kua puta mai a USAA i roto i ngā kōnae kāwanatanga e tuku ana i te 5%–10% nama i runga i te wāhanga wai o tētahi kaupapahere, he torutoru me te $50–$100 kotahi ki tētahi pūrere kua whakaaetia. He ōrite ngā whakahekenga ārai mārō o te UK me ngā moka o Uropi mā ētahi pūkenga.
Kāore au i te kī hoko mō te whakahekenga utu - he rerekē ngā pepa i te āhua me te kaiwhakarato, ā, me waea tonu koe. Ko te nuinga kāore e pānui. Engari i te taenga mai o taku whakahoutanga, ka tukuna e au he whakaahua o te pūmana kua tāutatia, te nama e pā ana ki te hipoki i te wae i te tau tuatahi. Ko te utu tōtika i tau tata ki te kore. Koia tērā te raina ka mahue i ngā pānuitanga pūnaha $800 te tūtohu utu.
Te wāhi e whiwhi ai i tōna pupuri
Pono: for the first month it did nothing. That’s the point. Ko te uara ko ngā wā kāore koe i reira ki te kite.
Taku tatūnga: he pūoko waipuke Tuya i raro i te horoi horoi me tētahi atu i muri i te whakamahana wai. I roto i te taupānga — Atamai, ētahi atu, "Ina huri te tūnga pūrere," Kōwhiria te pūoko, "Whakahaerehia te pūrere,” pick the valve, save. Ka pā te wai ki te pūoko, katia ngā kōrere kōrere i raro iho i te tekau hēkona, Ka pana ahau i runga i te tereina ki te kāinga.
I ētahi wā i koa ahau kei reira:
He haerenga e rua wiki: He puare pōturi i whakatuwheratia i te tūnga o te koki kaukau manuhiri. I mau te pūoko i te haukū, katinga takirere, he tauera te tūkino, kāore he papa.
I mahue i te tamaiti a te hoa noho o runga he pato e rere ana ki roto i te totohu kōpikopiko; Ka ngokingoki te wai i raro i te pakitara tiritahi; pūoko kua whakakāngia, kati takirere, i maroke tonu taku whare.
Ia "i waiho e au te ngongo ki runga?" Pō — Te rangimārie tūturu o te hinengaro.
Ko te raina e hoki tonu ana ahau ki, the one I’d tell a friend over a beer: the protection only truly matters when you’re not at home. Ko te kōrere e kati ana koe i a koe e kore e pai ki a koe i te taunga rererangi. The whole reason to spend the money is the five seconds after a leak starts and the nine hours before you’d have noticed.
