Internet of Things and Smart Home
Smart Home is an efficient, comfortable, safe and convenient home environment with home as a platform, building, automation, and intelligence. Its goal is to realize the intelligent control of home appliances and so on through the network and other information and communication technology means, so that it can operate according to people's settings, regardless of distance. Intelligence and remote control are the two major characteristics of smart homes.
With the development of network technology, especially the development of wireless networks, networked smart home systems can provide remote control, home appliance (air conditioner, water heater, etc.) control, lighting control, indoor and outdoor remote control, curtain automatic control, anti-theft alarm, telephone remote control, and Various functions and methods such as programming timing control and computer control make life more comfortable, convenient and safer.
The Internet of Things is based on the computer Internet, using RFID, wireless data communication and other technologies to construct an "Internet of Things" covering everything in the world.
In this network, items (commodities) can "communicate" with each other without human intervention. Its essence is to use radio frequency automatic identification (RFID) technology to realize the automatic identification of items (commodities) and the interconnection and sharing of information through the computer Internet. In the era of the Internet of Things, environment and status information are shared in real time and intelligently collected, transmitted, processed, and executed.
Smart home is one of the most daily applications of the Internet of Things: it is composed of various sensors, including temperature and humidity sensors, QR code tags, RFID tags and readers, cameras, GPS and other sensing terminals that are the source of identifying objects and collecting information. . The Internet of Things not only provides the connection of sensors, but also has the ability of intelligent processing, which can implement intelligent control of objects.
The Internet of Things combines sensors and intelligent processing, and uses various intelligent technologies such as cloud computing and pattern recognition to expand its application fields. Analyze, process and process meaningful data from the massive information obtained by sensors to adapt to the different needs of different users and discover new application fields and application modes.
Smart home makes the application of the Internet of Things more life-like. The smart home control system has functions such as network remote control, remote control, touch switch control, automatic alarm, and automatic timing. It can be installed by ordinary electricians, and it is very easy to change, expand and maintain. The switch panel has various colors and individual patterns, bringing a different life experience to every family.
With the rise of the Internet of Things 3.0 era, a series of innovative applications and services have emerged. Smart home, as an important part of the Internet of Things industry, its huge market potential has gradually emerged, and it has gained more and more degrees. This is both a huge opportunity and a severe challenge. Different from traditional consumer products, the "high price" of smart home products obviously has a big gap with consumers' purchase expectations.
In the Internet of Things 3.0 era, how do we make our home products more intelligent, how to combine mobile terminals with household appliances, and how to use a dazzling list of apps on the market to control air conditioners, refrigerators, and TVs...It is clear that smart homes need to be in the future. There are still many areas for development and innovation.
