The concept of intelligent home appeared as early as a decade ago. In 1998, Bill Gates built an intelligent mansion for himself. The early smart homes were wired, which to a large extent limited their own development: first, the wiring problem, the need to open the wall and holes, so that most of the renovated houses are reluctant to join in; secondly, the line cloth Well buried in the wall, maintenance and maintenance is very inconvenient, once there is a problem, it means to open the wall again; in the end, it is expensive, so that the early smart home is only suitable for high-end people, not civilian consumer goods.

Wireless solutions bring the dawn of home automation, cutting off these cumbersome lines, and eliminating a lot of trouble. For the moment, wireless smart homes are mainly divided into Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zwave and ZigBee according to the technology used. Wireless technology enables people to remotely control the home.

WiFi technology

Smart home wireless technology analysis and solution comparison

The smart home products based on WiFi technology are the most common, and the advantages are that the transmission rate is fast, the product cost is low, and the life is also the most popular. For the user, the WiFi-based smart home combination is the most trouble-free, and the purchase device can be directly networked.

Everything has two sides. Although WiFi is fast and widely popular, it also has its own technical disadvantages: its biggest problem is security is very low, wireless stability is weak; power consumption is also one of its weaknesses, which will lead to its Limited application in the home field, such as smart door locks, infrared forwarding controllers, various sensors, etc. are not suitable for use; in addition, WiFi networking capabilities are relatively low, the current actual size of WiFi networks generally does not exceed 16 devices In the actual home environment, only the number of switches, lighting, and home appliances has far exceeded 16. It is obvious that the development space has been limited.

Compared with the popular WiFi technology, the ZigBee technology mentioned below has a relatively high threshold for R&D and application. It is not something that anyone can control, such as Schneider, Siemens, Sony, General Electric, Panasonic, etc. The top 500 companies have joined the ZigBee camp, and domestic companies such as Huawei and IOT are also in the ZigBee camp.

First of all, the security of ZigBee technology is very high, and there has not been a cracking precedent in the world. Its security stems from its systematic design: AES encryption (advanced encryption system), which is 12 times more rigorous than bank card encryption technology. Secondly, Zigbee adopts honeycomb structure networking, each device can pass multiple directions. Communication with the gateway, the network stability is high; in addition, its network capacity theoretical node is 65,300, enough to meet the needs of home network coverage, even smart communities, intelligent buildings, etc. can still fully cover; Finally, Zigbee has the ability of two-way communication, not only Can send commands to the device, and the device will feedback the execution status back, which is very important for the terminal experience, especially the security equipment. If you click to close the door, but don't know if the door is really locked, it will bring In addition, Zigbee uses a very low power design, can be fully battery powered, in theory, a battery can be used for more than 10 years, energy saving and environmental protection.
