As an "imported product", the dynamics of science and technology are far more powerful than foreign countries. Explosive growth brings huge business opportunities to the market. Ultimately, smart home is a home device that enables smart, remote control, and scenario operations through networking. If (if) I drive 3 km away from home (this) then (then) Open the indoor air conditioner (that), so the concept of smart home is actually a simple understanding of the hardware version of the IFTTT (if this then that).


In 2014, a large number of domestic companies began to invest in R&D smart home products, from the most primitive smart cameras, smart sockets, and smart switches, to smart temperature control, indoor environment detection equipment, and smart home appliance derivative smart sweepers. Smart vacuum cleaners and more. The price of smart home items is decreasing, and the threshold of smart home platforms is also decreasing. Contrary to the trend, consumers are demanding smart product features.


In the rush of many traditional home appliance manufacturers and internet giants rushing to eat each other, a small hardware startup team secretly offered a smart home system that can be shipped in batches by IFTTT. The price is also very impressive, and a new round of killing will be staged.

This is the smart home system that is HOOK, the United States four hardware development team developed this product. The HOOK kit includes an RF (radio/radio)-WiFi core controller and an expandable plug converter, a bayonet converter, a USB converter, and a core controller that communicates with IFTTT in WiFi mode to the 315MHz-433MHz band. Radio mode communicates with plug converters and bayonet converters.

If IFTTT is equivalent to a command center, the core controller is equivalent to a messenger and the converter is a guard. The working principle of HOOK is that, when the IFTTT condition is triggered, the server sends an instruction to the networked core controller, and the core controller controls the plug converter and the bayonet switch to turn on or off the power through a radio signal, thereby turning on and off the appliance and illumination.

The plug converter corresponds to various electrical appliances directly connected to the outlet such as a television, and the bayonet converter corresponds to a light bulb, and the USB converter corresponds to a USB connection device such as a USB power supply fan.

Therefore, the concept of HOOK is very similar to the general concept of smart home. It is also the home intelligence operation that achieves the remote control and scene mode, except that the former uses the network operation (IFTTT) and the latter uses the local operation. Therefore, you do not need to make great efforts to replace ordinary home appliances that do not have chips installed. You only need a HOOK and an IFTTT account to experience the smart home system.


The large number of IFTTT access services means that HOOK can use a large number of Internet services in combination. For example: If the sunset (can be achieved through IFTTT's Google Calendar), then turn on the power of the ribbon lights on the porch; if someone at @feed_tess on Sina Weibo, open Tess's feeder - this game was originally designed to keep Morris from going to work. When the dog was toby starving, she invented a remote feeder. Now you can also feed your pets remotely. Don't let them grow too fat.

Let's play with some imaginations. If you have difficulty getting up, you can design an IFTTT rule. If you arrive at 8:30 everyday, turn on the table lamp, open the blinds, start the coffee machine and microwave oven (or you can learn from the introduction of the Japanese subway system. Employees automatically inflate the mattress and automatically inflate you to get out of bed by the time you get up. Under the temptation of food, you can also get rid of the efficiency gain.


Of course, HOOK still has some limitations, that is, only access to power immediately start the non-residential access power equipment is more easy to use, such as TV, air conditioning, audio, desk lamp, but the refrigerator needs to always access the power supply of electrical appliances It is very difficult to get up.

In addition to using IFTTT to achieve triggered operation, HOOK access to the Internet also supports remote active operation, through the mobile client can be completed, such as on the bus remembered after the room forgot to turn off the lights, directly through the HOOK client off the power on it .


HOOK's WiFi chip uses the more popular Particle.io solution in foreign countries, so HOOK did not intend to apply for the IFTTT API itself, but used the IFTTT service of Particle.io directly as the operation interface. Before using, HOOK needs to apply for and bind an account on Particle.io. (Author: black spot rabbit)

Optical Colored Glass Filter

Filters are designed by their manufacturers to transmit or absorb different wavelengths of light. Optical Filter is widely used in medical instrument, finance, metallurgical, photography,cameras, navigation, military, biography instrument, optical instrument and science field etc.

Longpass filters are designed to have a sharp transition from reflection to transmission, making them ideal for various applications. Available in a variety of cut-on wavelengths, these filters are designed for fluorescence and order sorting applications.

China star optics can supply a full range of filter. They are shortpass, longpass, band pass, ultraviolet, infrared, heat absorbing, and color temperature conversion filters. We use material by China to Schott, Hoya, and other manufacturers to process them. Metallic films, colored glasses and thin dielectric films filter are all available per your requirements.
