Abstract

Embodiments of this application disclose an intelligent electric appliance and a control method. The intelligent electric appliance includes: a first controller, where the first controller is configured to: receive a first instruction of a user, and convert the first instruction into a second instruction; and a second controller, where the second controller is connected to the first controller by using a communication interface. The first controller is further configured to send the second instruction to the second controller by using the communication interface, where the second controller is configured to control, based on the second instruction, the intelligent electric appliance to run. The first controller is configured to be independently upgraded when the intelligent electric appliance is connected to a network.
