According to the home grid, the so-called air conditioner companion refers to a socket containing intelligent device control software, which can remotely control the wall-mounted air conditioner in the home, and can realize intelligent functions such as time switch air conditioner. It adds a Wi-Fi module to the common socket, and can control the switch of the single or integral jack power supply through the mobile APP.
At the same time, Mijia's air-conditioning companion also integrates an infrared transmitting module, which adapts the air conditioners of Gree, Midea and Oaks on the market through the infrared code library of the built-in air conditioner, and changes the operation of the original air conditioner remote control to operate through the mobile APP. .
According to its product introduction, through the air-conditioned companion of Mijia, the user can remotely control the air conditioner with the mobile phone, and realize that the home can be turned on 5 minutes in advance, and the air conditioner can be turned off remotely when leaving home. The Miya Air Conditioning Companion also integrates a power measurement module that displays the power of the air conditioner in real time and accurately counts the daily power consumption data.
At the same time, the Mijia air-conditioning companion also has a speaker on the side.

Through the Mijia APP, users can also use the speaker to listen to the network FM.
However, according to statistics, as early as 2017, the scale of smart air conditioners in China's air-conditioning market grew rapidly, with a compound growth rate of 65%, and the market share has increased to 25%. In 2018, the retail sales of air conditioners was 20 billion yuan, up 4.1% year-on-year. Among them, air conditioners equipped with intelligent systems accounted for 30% of the industry.

According to industry insiders, in many new functions of smart air conditioners, remote control of air conditioner switches through mobile APP has become the "basis of basic functions." As a product that emerged from the transition from traditional air conditioners to smart air conditioners, the product positioning of the air conditioner companion 2 generation is really embarrassing: consumers with smart needs will buy smart air conditioners, and consumers without smart demand will buy traditional ones. air conditioning. It’s a waste of time to buy a product like “smart pendant”.
"Smart" concept hype still does not stop
In the context of commercialization, hype has become a means of publicity that everyone is used to. By deliberately attracting media reports by revealing certain plausible anomalies, it is known to everyone that they have achieved some kind of fame or profit.

The term "artificial intelligence", which appeared in 1955, is now being used by people. "Smart refrigerator", "smart air conditioner", "smart TV". Some manufacturers have indeed come up with real materials and constantly improve the intelligent functions of their products, but most products, by virtue of the technology of three or four years ago, such as infrared technology, WiFi networking technology, etc., crowned " The "smart" label began to sell itself out.
Home Grid understands that Oran-B's Genius X, which was launched at CES this year, has its own "smart" ability, but in fact it gives very simple feedback on whether to brush your teeth at the right time and in the right place. . Is "artificial intelligence" limited to this?
Industry people tell the home grid that any word repeats many times, and eventually loses all meaning, like a dull organization, into a voiceless nothingness. For many consumers, the term "artificial intelligence" has collapsed in this way long ago. Artificial intelligence is a science, and people who play with science will eventually be abandoned by society. The popularity of AI this year has dropped compared to last year. And so far, there has not been a commercial artificial intelligence product that can really come out on the market.

In the academician salon held in Shanghai before May 1st, academician Xu Kuangdi asked the public about such a question: “How many mathematicians in China are investing in the basic algorithm research of artificial intelligence?” It seems that the answer to the question is that China’s labor Intelligent science is still a long way forward.
