The evolution and development of the Internet of Things has promoted the rapid development of many different terminal market segments, and also brought great opportunities. As consumer demand for home automation monitoring continues to rise, analysts predict that the home automation market will reach $16.4 billion by 2019.
In today's smart homes, we can remotely control a range of different equipment and systems, such as lighting, heating, air conditioning, security systems, and household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers. With the home wireless network, remote control of these systems allows us to quickly understand the health of all home devices, easily manage home energy consumption anywhere, and adjust the functionality of home appliances.
In the early stages of the booming IoT market, many product innovations came from the whimsy of startups, but these startups faced human, capital and capacity constraints. To help new businesses thrive and keep up with market demands, smart home technology also needs many elements to support, including a vibrant smart home ecosystem, powerful components, well-designed hardware and software platforms, and most importantly – Interoperability between different devices.
Behind the development and promotion of smart home appliances, wireless connectivity technology is the biggest driving force. It enables the connection of smart devices to the home network, so that home appliances can be monitored anytime and anywhere. With proven technology support such as Wi-Fi, Smart Bluetooth, NFC and Power Line Communications (PLC), efficient design solutions continue to reduce the processing power requirements of smart appliances. In turn, its high efficiency can help manufacturers design, produce and market low-cost products to promote consumption on a large scale.
Proprietary hardware is not conducive to the further promotion of the smart home market because it can only cover a limited area. Proprietary hardware can cause incompetence between products and disappoint consumers. Therefore, the development of the smart home market is inseparable from the general software and hardware industry standards.
To help build a common platform for smart home systems, Apple previously launched Apple HomeKit at its 2014 Global Developers Conference. This is a new universal framework that communicates with, and controls, connected devices. Developers who want to develop electronic accessories for iPhone, iPad or iPod can join Apple's MFI program to get a license.
Several leading technology companies, including Atmel, Broadcom, Dell, Intel, Samsung and Wind River Systems, have recently formed an industry alliance, the Open Interconnect Alliance (OIC), to promote seamless connectivity between devices. Help the development of the Internet of Things market. OIC is committed to developing a communication framework based on industry-standard technologies that is not limited by different terminals, operating systems or service providers, enabling wireless connectivity and intelligent information flow management between personal computing devices and emerging IoT devices.
In addition to common industry standards, online collaboration forums help developers work together to meet the challenges of connected devices. Social engineering of online resources provides a collaborative environment that can share ideas and solve problems, thus promoting the overall development of the Internet of Things, especially for the development of smart homes.
While wireless connectivity, interoperability and online collaboration are important factors driving the development of the smart home market, high-security broadband networks are also indispensable. For example, China has launched a broadband China strategy and plans to expand broadband coverage in urban and rural areas by 2020. At the same time, China also encourages developers and entrepreneurs to work together to develop outstanding products for the rapidly growing smart home market. According to a recent survey by the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, as many as 97% of Chinese consumers want to buy more smart home appliances.
In the future smart home, we will enjoy the better life and convenience. Take the garage door as an example. When the owner enters the private lane and presses the button inside the car, the radio signal activates the door opening device a few meters away. But smart garage doors can also perform better. Suppose you are far away from home, not sure if you forgot to close the garage door due to negligence. Then, with the built-in MyQ technology Chamberlain garage door opener, you can switch the door operation through your smartphone, no need to be like the traditional way The garage door must be opened and closed at close range.
Large consumer electronics (CE) manufacturers such as General Electric, Haier, Midea and Samsung are all cultivating smart home-related consumer awareness, so this demand will continue to grow. CE manufacturers are counting on their unique interconnectivity to differentiate themselves from their competitors. As with any emerging technology, the cost of this technology will continue to decline as it matures. With the continuous decline in the price of smart home appliances and the rapid increase in consumer awareness, demand will continue to grow.
In addition, the smart home will go out of the house and enter the courtyard. For example, the innovative technology of the Droplet robotic sprinkler, which uses real-time data from more than 10,000 weather forecasting stations, as well as millions of square miles of soil sampling information and comprehensive and comprehensive plant biological information, intelligently based on this Decide when to pour how much water to where. This innovation uses an integrated, advanced embedded processing technology that is expected to reduce water consumption by half. Especially in areas with severe droughts, it is worth considering introducing this technology.
From smart garage door openers to smart air purifiers, smart refrigerators and smart sprinklers, the possibilities for smart home innovation are endless. However, the success of the market still depends on a dynamic ecosystem: powerful and efficient processors, well-designed hardware and software platforms, networks with sufficient bandwidth, and, above all, interoperability. If all of the above elements are available, consumers will soon be able to enjoy the benefits of smart homes.
