即将到来的2 月 2(February 2)日星期日(Sunday)，旧金山 49 人队(San Francisco 49ers)和堪萨斯城酋长(Kansas City Chiefs)队将在超级碗 LIV(Super Bowl LIV)中为荣耀、吹嘘的权利和文斯·隆巴迪奖杯对峙(Vince Lombardi Trophy)。对于全美(America)的球迷来说，这是一年中最重要的一天。举办无拘无束的派对。球迷们将争夺最好的派对，就像两支球队为获胜的达阵一样激烈。
如果您想在超级碗(Super Bowl)派对的狗咬狗世界中脱颖而出，请让您的智能家居为您服务。本文将指导您打造终极超级碗(Super Bowl)智能家居，让您的所有朋友和家人羡慕不已，而您则在最凉爽的环境中观看一年中最盛大的比赛。
第一步：(Step One: )电视(The TV)(The TV)
电视是任何以超级碗(Super)为重点的智能家居的中心点。您希望能够以清晰、清晰的细节查看每一位球员和每一场比赛。不言而喻，屏幕应该足够大，让散布在房间里的客人也可以不用眯眼就能看到。
像LG 75英寸超高清 4K(” UHD 4K)电视这样的电视机就可以解决问题——而且因为它内置了Alexa，你可以在没有遥控器的情况下控制电视的各个方面。只需(Just)让Alexa调整音量、从您最喜欢的流媒体服务(streaming service)中流式传输游戏等等。如果Alexa不是您首选的智能助手，这款电视还可以与Google Assistant 配合使用并支持(Google Assistant and supports) AirPlay 投射(AirPlay casting)。
即使您选择不同的电视，也要选择智能的。虽然您可以插入Chromecast或Fire Stick为其提供智能功能，但自动嵌入这些功能要方便得多。
第二步：(Step Two: )声音(The Sound)(The Sound)
超级碗(Super Bowl)派对很吵。您最不想看到的就是因为欢呼而错过任何动作或评论(action or commentary)（或者如果您的团队不那么幸运，那就是呻吟）。强大的条形音箱(sound bar)可以将声音传遍整个房间，而无需昂贵且难以做到的- 设置环绕声系统(surround sound system)。
Sonos Beam是超级碗(Super Bowl)的最佳选择之一。它结构紧凑，但有四个全频低音扬声器和一个高音扬声器，可覆盖整个声音范围。它还可以与Amazon Alexa 和 Google Home(Amazon Alexa and Google Home)配合使用，因此当游戏完成并且您准备好听一些音乐放松一下时，您可以将您喜爱的音乐直接传输到条形音箱(sound bar)。
最重要的是，设置很简单。Sonos Beam只需要两根线即可正常工作并自动检测遥控器。无需经过漫长的配对过程(pairing process)。
气氛几乎与电视和声音一样重要。您需要确定灯光以代表您最喜欢的球队，为此，没有比LIFX Z-TV Strip更好的选择了。
该条带适合您的电视背面，并将环境光投射到其后面的墙上。很标准(Pretty standard)，对吧？它将是，除了LIFX Z-TV Strip允许您“绘制”每个片段。您可以从一个条带中显示十几种不同的颜色。用你最喜欢的球队颜色涂上它，以展示你的团队精神(team spirit)。
由于LIFX(LIFX doesn)不需要集线器，因此您无需使用路由器上的任何额外空间——只需将每个灯直接与您的Wi-Fi配对即可。
为了增加效果，您可以将一些LIFX 的 A19 尺寸灯泡( LIFX’s A19 size bulbs)放入您家中的其余照明设备中。
关于照明的最后一点说明：如果您想知道当您的球队得分时闪烁您的智能灯，这里有几个选项。最初的方法涉及ESPN 应用程序(ESPN app)，但它已经停止使用它的API，原来的IFTTT 配方(IFTTT recipe)不再有效。我们尚未测试任何其他选项，也无法谈论它们的功效。
第四步：(Step Four: )食物(The Food)(The Food)
任何超级碗派对(Super Bowl party)中最好的部分之一就是大量(sheer amount)美味（通常非常不健康）的食物。好消息是食物没有必要不健康。使用空气炸锅(air fryer)，您可以用最少的油 烹制普通的超级碗小吃。(Super Bowl)
虽然他们不会在最好的时候赢得任何营养奖，但你可以避免食物中一些最不健康的部分。Cosori 空气炸锅(Cosori Air Fryer)让您不仅可以煎炸食物，还可以做更多的事情。有 11 种不同的预设可用于不同风格的烹饪，只需通常所需时间的一小部分。
清理(Clean-up)也很容易。空气炸锅篮是洗碗机安全的，因此您只需将它们从炸锅中取出，然后将它们扔进洗碗机，让机器完成工作。
第五步：(Step Five: )饮料(The Drinks)(The Drinks)
没有饮料，任何超级碗派对都是不完整的。(Super Bowl party)当然，没有人愿意站起来错过比赛的片刻来再喝一杯。这就是Sobro 智能咖啡桌(Sobro Smart Coffee Table)的用武之地。
这张咖啡桌(coffee table)虽然价格不菲，但里面有一个内置冰箱。它还配备了两个内置蓝牙(Bluetooth)扬声器、USB充电器、4 个 110V 插座，甚至还有LED灯。
咖啡桌(coffee table)确实需要自己的电源，(power source)因此您必须将其插入墙壁插座。让电缆不碍事的最好方法是把它放在地毯下面或使用电线遮瑕膏(cord concealer)。否则，设置桌子就像插入并让它冷却一样简单。
How to Build the Ultimate Super Bowl Smart Home Setup
This coming Sunday, Februаry 2, the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas Citу Chiefs will face off іn Super Bowl LIV for glorу, bragging rights, and the Vince Lombardi Trophy. For football fans across America, this is the biggest day of the year. No-hоlds-barred parties are thrown. Fans will compete to throw the best party, jυst as fiercely as the two tеams will for the winnіng touchdown.
If you want to come out on top in the dog-eat-dog world of Super Bowl parties, put your smart home to work for you. This article will be your guide to creating the ultimate Super Bowl smart home, the spot that makes all your friends and family turn green with envy while you all watch the biggest game of the year in the coolest surroundings.
The TV is the center point of any Super Bowl-focused smart home. You want to be able to see every player and every play in crisp, clear detail. It goes without saying that the screen should be large enough that guests scattered across the room can see without squinting, too.
A set like the LG 75” UHD 4K TV will do the trick—and because it has Alexa built-in, you can control every aspect of the TV without a remote. Just ask Alexa to adjust the volume, stream the game from your favorite streaming service, and more. If Alexa isn’t your smart assistant of choice, this TV also works with Google Assistant and supports AirPlay casting.
Even if you opt for a different TV, choose a smart one. While you can plug in a Chromecast or a Fire Stick to give it smart capabilities, it’s far more convenient to have those features baked in automatically.
Super Bowl parties are loud. The last thing you want is to miss any of the action or commentary because of cheering (or if your team is not so lucky, groaning.) A strong sound bar can blast the sound throughout the room without need for an expensive and hard-to-set-up surround sound system.
The Sonos Beam is one of the best options for the Super Bowl. It’s compact, but has four full-range woofers and one tweeter to cover the full range of sound. It also works with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home so that when the game is done and you’re ready to listen to some music to unwind, you can stream your favorite tunes straight to the sound bar.
Best of all, setup is simple. The Sonos Beam only requires two cords to operate properly and automatically detects the remote. There’s no need to go through a lengthy pairing process.
The atmosphere is almost as important as the TV and the sound. You need to nail the lighting to represent your favorite team, and for that there is no better option than the LIFX Z-TV Strip.
This strip fits on the back of your television and throws ambient light onto the wall behind it. Pretty standard, right? It would be, except that the LIFX Z-TV Strip allows you to “paint” each segment. You can show a dozen different colors from a single strip. Paint it in your favorite team’s colors to show your team spirit.
And because LIFX doesn’t require a hub, you don’t need to use any extra space on your router—just pair each light directly with your Wi-Fi.
To add to the effect, you can toss in some of LIFX’s A19 size bulbs in the rest of the lighting throughout your home.
A final note on lighting: if you’re wondering about flashing your smart lights when your team scores, there are several options out there. The original method involved the ESPN app, but it has since discontinued its API and the original IFTTT recipe no longer works. We have not tested any of the other options and cannot speak to their efficacy.
One of the best parts of any Super Bowl party is the sheer amount of delicious (often incredibly unhealthy) food. The good news is that there is no need for food to be unhealthy; with an air fryer, you can cook the normal Super Bowl snacks with a minimal amount of oil.
While they won’t win any awards for nutrition at the best of times, you can avoid some of the most unhealthy parts of food. The Cosori Air Fryer lets you do more than just fry food, too; there are 11 different presets for different styles of cooking, all in a fraction of the time it would normally take.
Clean-up is easy, too. The air fryer baskets are dishwasher-safe, so you can simply remove them from your fryer and toss them into the dishwasher to let the machine do the work.
No Super Bowl party is complete without beverages. Of course, no one wants to get up and miss even a moment of the game to grab another drink. That’s where the Sobro Smart Coffee Table comes in.
This coffee table, while pricey, has a built-in refrigerator inside it. It’s also equipped with two built-in Bluetooth speakers, USB chargers, 4 110V outlets, and even LED lights.
The coffee table does require its own power source, so you will have to plug it into a wall outlet. The best way to keep the cable out of the way is to run it under the carpet or to use a cord concealer. Otherwise, setting up the table is as simple as plugging it in and allowing it to cool.
