What are the technical features of smart home

Smart home is the specific application of IoT in the home environment, so smart home also has similar characteristics to IoT applications. From a technical point of view, there are three characteristics of smart home, the specific information is as follows.

Three technical features of smart home

1. High requirements for real-time response

Many smart home applications require real-time responses. For example, if a gas leak, fire, water pipe leak, or home invasion is detected, immediate responses and corresponding actions are required. Failure to achieve real-time responses will result in serious consequences and losses. If the response time is too long, the consumer's user experience will deteriorate, which is not conducive to the promotion of smart homes.

2. Emphasis on intelligent applications

Smart home emphasizes intelligent applications, which are reflected at multiple levels.

A lower level of intelligence, for example, can change the way home appliances are controlled. They can be controlled by mobile phone or voice. A higher level of intelligence can set the control mode, pre-set the mode through software, and control the home appliances according to the predetermined mode when the conditions are met. An even higher level of intelligence can be adaptive environmental control with learning ability, which can achieve control methods with personalized intelligent needs by learning the characteristics of the environment and the habits of the users.

3. Networked features

Smart home realizes intelligent control, which is actually the virtual digitization of objects, that is, through the perception of objects, digital information is generated, and this information must flow to generate control value. And what realizes the flow of information is networking. Therefore, smart home is essentially the same as the application of the Internet of Things, which realizes the flow, processing and control of information through the network.

Smart homes actually use a hybrid network, which is a mix of wired and wireless networks, as well as a mix of various wireless protocols. To build a holistic smart home control system, it is necessary to solve the problem of diverse network characteristics to ensure that the information of the intelligent control smart home is reliable and smooth.
