The technical characteristics of smart home

Smart home networks continue to improve as integration technologies, communication technologies, interoperability, and cabling standards are implemented. It involves the operation, management and integration of all smart furniture, devices and systems in the home network. Its technical characteristics are as follows:

1. Build a smart home platform system through home gateway and its system software

The home gateway is the core part of the smart home LAN. It mainly completes the conversion and information sharing between various communication protocols in the home internal network, as well as the data exchange function with the external communication network. At the same time, the gateway is also responsible for the management and management of home smart devices. control. .

2. unified platform

Using computer technology, microelectronic technology, and communication technology, the home smart terminal integrates all the functions of home intelligence, so that the smart home is built on a unified platform. First, realize the data interaction between the home network and the external network; secondly, it is necessary to ensure that the instructions transmitted through the network are legitimate instructions, not illegal intrusions by "hackers". Therefore, the home intelligent terminal is not only the transportation hub of home information, but also the "protector" of the information-based home.

3. Interconnection with home appliances via external expansion modules

In order to realize the centralized control and remote control functions of household appliances, the home smart gateway controls household appliances or lighting equipment with the help of external expansion modules in a wired or wireless manner and according to a specific communication protocol.

4. Application of Embedded System

In the past, the vast majority of home smart terminals were controlled by single-chip microcomputers. With the increase of new functions and the improvement of performance, the embedded operating system with network function and the control software program of the single-chip microcomputer with greatly enhanced processing capability have been adjusted accordingly to organically combine them into a complete embedded system.
