IoT smart home system design application solutions, today, the smart home industry is in a very high hotspot, especially after the integration of the Internet of Things, the application of smart home is more well known. So, what does a smart home look like with the support of the Internet of Things? Let's take a look!
Smart Home:
Smart home is the embodiment of the Internet of Things under the influence of the Internet. It can be defined as a process or system that belongs to a branch of smart wearables. It mainly takes the residence as the platform and has an efficient, comfortable, safe, convenient and environmentally friendly living environment, integrating construction, network communication, information, home appliances, equipment automation, system, structure, service and management. Using advanced computer technology, embedded technology, network communication technology and integrated wiring technology to organically combine various subsystems related to home life, the concept of smart home first appeared in the United States.
The Home Automation Association defines the smart home as the process of using different methods or devices to improve people's ability to live and make the home more comfortable, safe, and effective.
The status quo of smart home based on the Internet of Things:
At the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, traditional smart homes have been widely used in some countries, including smart home appliance control, smart lighting control, smart security, smart audio-visual, etc. Based on the Internet of Things, smart home can be said to be a remote and wireless technology as the main carrier of smart home, with the explosion of the smart wearable industry. It mainly covers seven aspects: remote monitoring, home health care and monitoring, information services, online education, smart communities, and smart city joint development applications:
1. Control smart home appliances
In the traditional smart home system, smart home appliances occupy an important position, mainly through remote control, mobile phone control, computer remote control, timing control, wearable device control and scene adaptation and other controls to achieve air conditioners, water heaters, water dispensers , intelligent control of TV and electric curtains. Users can freely configure and add home appliance control nodes according to their needs. The realization of this function not only brings convenience to users, but also saves energy to a certain extent.
2. Control smart lights
The change of light and shadow is an important means to create today's home environment. The emergence of intelligent lighting adds a touch of mystery to the individual life of the home. It mainly replaces traditional switches with intelligent switches to realize the induction control of home lighting, and can create any ambient atmosphere and lighting switch scene. It can achieve any lighting scene mode, whether it is a projection light for a home theater, a romantic dinner light, a scene light for a friend's gathering, or a reading light after a quiet weekend dinner, etc. When you are out or working overtime, the lights will automatically adjust to the corresponding mode. In addition, the intelligent lighting control system will also automatically adjust the indoor lighting and automatically adjust the indoor lighting according to the lighting of the outside world throughout the day and according to different time periods of the day.
3. Smart audio and video
After talking about smart lighting, we had to talk about smart video and audio. Smart home can control audio-visual equipment including volume/channel/preset/pause/fast-forward including room audio/VCR/Satellite TV/WiFi TV. Realize all-round control anytime, anywhere, and freely convert audio-visual effects according to specific life scenarios, making family life more enjoyable. The current popular smart TV is one of the important carriers of the smart audio-visual system.
4. Intelligent security
Residential security has always been a focus of attention. Smart security is an integral part of smart home and the primary requirement of residents for smart home systems. Smart security mainly refers to the smart home through various security detectors in the security system (such as smoke detection, motion detection, glass break detection, door magnetic, etc.) and access control, video intercom and monitoring recording are equivalent to forming a three-dimensional prevention system. For example: a visual intercom can allow users to clearly observe visitors to confirm that everyone can open the door remotely. When encountering danger or discovering potential danger, the alarm system will automatically send alarm information to community property, and send alarm information to users in the form of phone calls or text messages. Smart security systems used in cooperation with wearable devices will achieve smart security for smart security to a greater extent.
5. Remote monitoring based on IoT
With the continuous development trend and improvement of IoT technology, the scope of traditional smart home has been expanded. The smart home system software is on the telecom broadband platform, based on IE or the mobile phone to remotely control the home camera to complete the remote visit. In addition, residents can also operate household appliances according to IE or smart phones, wearable devices, etc. For example, remotely control the rice cooker to cook, boil the bath water in advance, turn on the air conditioner in advance to adjust the indoor temperature, etc.
6. Information services are based on the Internet of Things
The Internet allows users to obtain and exchange information anytime and anywhere. Likewise, smart home networking, especially the integration of the entire visual and audio system, as well as the integration of head-mounted wearables and virtual reality technology, can allow users to swim in the world of networked information anytime, anywhere.
7. Online education is based on the Internet of Things
IoT-based smart homes provide new opportunities for the development of online education. Schools and parents can achieve closer cooperation through Internet-based home education tools to build bridges between families and classrooms. In a smart home, educational resources for lifelong education and learning are available regardless of age group.
In the era of the Internet of Things, smart home can be understood as a more complex, larger and more systematic home intelligent system. With the integration of various communication technologies such as bus and wireless, various intelligent and monitoring products can realize interconnection and interaction through the system platform. , to bring users a convenient smart lifestyle.
