The Fanora, incorporating modern smart home technology, has been innovatively endowed with high-end home decor attributes.
Its design draws inspiration from traditional Chinese folding fans' graceful and sleek contours, featuring a golden fan rib paired with a white fan surface to create a warm and opulent visual effect. The Fanora surface equips multiple scene mode options for socialising, tea-tasting, reading, and more, subtly expressing the owner's personalised emotions and hospitality. This renders it a home adornment that records functions, showcases art, and imparts cultural heritage, creating a warmer and more personalised atmosphere within the home. Notably, the Fanora can be used as a wall-mounted or desktop display, allowing for flexible placement and application according to user preferences and spatial needs. Users can also customise the shape of the Hetian jade pendant, catering to their desires for customisation and aesthetics.
In terms of functionality, the product facilitates the control of home appliances, including switching them on and off, as well as adjusting lighting and colour temperature. It allows users to personalise device settings and save them as specific scenes, enabling one-click restoration of preset scene configurations without the need to adjust parameters for each appliance individually. Additionally, the pendant contains built-in temperature and brightness sensors that adapt automatically based on real-time environmental conditions. The button design follows ergonomic principles, offering a curvature that complements the fingertips for more effortless and comfortable operation. Users can monitor the power usage of household appliances via the panel or a mobile app and remotely control these devices' on/off status, thereby effectively utilising energy resources and promoting harmony between humans and nature.
