Why is the domestic smart home original?

From the smart home perspective, the Internet of Things can be described visually through an example. On the morning of the weekend, when you are still asleep, your scheduled alarm sounds. If you press the alarm, the alarm clock will send a message to the coffee machine and say, “First time, this guy is again. Lay on the bed, and cook coffee after 15 minutes.” The coffee machine will send a message to the toaster at the same time it receives the information for 15 minutes and then bake the bread. Through this exchange of things and things, our home life will change. Smart and fun. Today, smart homes have become the main force in our country's market. However, smart homes have not been popularized in China. What are the reasons?

Smart home decoration market force

From the beginning of this year, smart homes have gone all the way, becoming a new force in the home market. According to a person in charge of a large-scale decoration company in Beijing, since the home decoration has been hot in April, customers are not only simply pursuing luxury grades, but also focus on comfort and convenience, while smart homes have intelligent control and security alarm functions, just to meet people's quality of life and improve their lives. Security protection needs. This year, the proportion of customer requests for smart home installation has increased by 50% over last year, and it still maintains a strong momentum.

The warming of the property market this year has also helped smart homes to a certain extent. Since March, the prices of commercial housing in large and medium-sized cities in the country have begun to rise quietly, and the situation continues into November. It is expected that prices will continue to rise moderately early next year. Different from previous years, many real estate developers have not only played conventional environment and school district licenses, but also played smart home brands. Many real estate developers launched 400-500 smart homes at an early date and were booked early.

Zhang, a person in charge of a real estate developer in Shanghai, said that people’s living standards have improved, and the choice of home purchases has also become wider. Hopefully, life in the future will be more pleasant, comfortable, fast, and convenient, and security is also very important. These are smart The strengths of home. According to him, the company’s sales of commercial homes equipped with smart homes have increased by 70% compared to last year and is expected to increase even more in the next year.

Why Smart Homes Are Not Popular in China

First, although China’s telecommunications-led China Communications Standards Association (CCSA), Lenovo-led domestic IGRS Information Resource Sharing Service (IGRS) and Haier-led e-jiajiao have all submitted their own National standards for smart home agreements, however, have not been well followed in the industry. Because the product communication protocol is not uniform, all manufacturers produce according to different interface standards and protocols. Therefore, interconnection, interoperability, and interoperability between products cannot be realized. Information between subsystems cannot be exchanged. These make many households The service became a mirage.

Second, the smart home industry has been developing in China for 10 years. The smart home product market is also concentrated in two areas: security alarms and intelligent controls, and limited product types. The research and development of smart home system-related products mostly adopt high-tech technology, and the replacement is fast and risky. Many companies do not want or have enough funds to invest in R&D.

Third, the market acceptance is low. At present, most ordinary residents still do not realize the convenience of smart homes. Among those who are concerned about smart homes, they are only concerned with some functions related to daily life, such as security, property, and household services. Advanced control functions, such as information appliances, are too far away. In addition, the immaturity of new technologies, problems, and higher costs also deter ordinary customers.

Fourth, the smart home system will be a multi-industry cooperation platform in the future. At present, China’s socialized cooperation system is still not sound enough. Various industries rely on traditional business concepts and huge market competition pressures and want to be in their own industries. Even other related industries seize the opportunity to expand their market share rather than open their own product interface technology and related agreements. In addition, the slow development of industries related to smart homes and the imperfect industrial chain are also reasons for the difficulties in cross-industry cooperation.

Application of Internet of Things in Smart Home

Most of the traditional methods are to form a smart home system through a wired method. This method requires not only the participation of professionals but also the maintenance of specialized companies. It also has a long construction period and poor system flexibility. The IoT smart home is an organic integration of wireless Internet of Things technology and smart home, so as to build a smart home system that is easy to install, easy to use, easy to maintain, and expand as you like. According to the industry-wide IoT architecture, the Internet of Things can be divided into perception, network, and application layers.

Perceptual layer

Comprehensive perception is a feature of the Internet of Things technology. It uses information such as radio frequency identification (RFID), two-dimensional codes, GPS, cameras, and sensors to sense, capture, and measure information, and collects and acquires information from sensing objects anytime, anywhere. In smart homes, the perceived objects are divided into the family environment in which people live and the people themselves. The eight major subsystems in the traditional smart home can be used as the implementation device of the perception layer. In addition, the Internet of Things smart home system also uses many typical sensing technologies, such as wireless temperature and humidity sensors, wireless door sensor, window magnetic, wireless gas leak sensor and so on.

Network layer

The Internet layer in the Internet of Things includes a converged network formed by various communication networks and the Internet. In addition, it also includes the intelligent processing of mass information, such as the home Internet of Things management center, information center, cloud computing platform, and expert system. In the smart home, the network layer must not only have the ability to operate the network, but also improve the ability to operate information, such as the application of the database. In the network layer, especially the two issues of reliable transmission and intelligent processing are handled.

Application layer

The application layer is a set of solutions that combine the Internet of Things technology and smart home professional technology to achieve intelligent home applications. The IoT finally realizes the deep integration of information technology and traditional homes through the application layer. This is mainly reflected in smart grid applications, home medical applications, multimedia entertainment applications, home security applications, and home control applications. In addition, the application layer also provides home service providers with third-party excuse to provide services that facilitate people's life.

Extension: IoT technology for smart home perspective

In 1999, the concept of the Internet of Things was first proposed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. The concept of the Internet of Things was expanded in the 2005 annual report of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and the Internet of Things is considered to be radio frequency identification (RFID) and infrared. Sensing devices such as sensors, global positioning systems, and laser scanners connect any item to the Internet and exchange information and communications in accordance with the agreed protocol to achieve intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring, and management of items. A network. In this way, in the Internet of Things era, all objects in the world can exchange information through the Internet by embedding a short-range mobile transceiver in a variety of everyday products.
