China's new smart home standard will be implemented

As the smart home industry, which is expected to achieve twice the growth in the next five years, how to standardize development is the most important issue facing practitioners. Accelerating the formulation of standards will provide a better foundation for development.

In the next five years, the global smart home equipment market will grow by a factor of 2, from less than 20 million nodes in 2012 to more than 90 million nodes in 2017. One of the major driving forces is the increasing influx of service providers into the area of ​​hosted home control. So far, ZigBee and Z-Wave have been favored by a large number of hosting providers. With the opening of the market, the development of smart homes in China is widely expected. The development of the smart home market focuses on the brand and market positioning. Future developments generally demand improved cost performance.

In China, smart home is not a separate product, nor is it a traditional concept of “smart community”, but a multi-level home intelligence solution based on community. It integrates the use of computers, network communications, home appliance control, and integrated cabling technologies, and effectively integrates home intelligence such as home intelligence control, information exchange and consumer services, and community security monitoring, and realizes the foundation of traditional “intelligent communities”. The extension of the home creates an efficient, comfortable, safe and convenient personalized residential space.

From 2005 to 2007 - Popular Years: The gap between China's smart home technology and European and American countries is not large. It is estimated that it lags behind only 2-3 years. In the next few years, China will fully popularize smart home network systems and products. That is, they begin to walk into the homes of ordinary residents. During this period, the entire market will be based on China's own research and development of systems and products; foreign products will occupy a place in high-end system products. The big market for truly intelligent home networks will be formed in 2004-2007. It will be difficult to accurately predict and imagine how the people of our country will be watching and participating in the 2008 Olympic Games held in our country. However, one thing is certain: It will be a kind of sports competition that is now completely watched. Different ways and mindsets.

"2013-2017 China Smart Home Industry Analysis and Forecast Report" introduces the overview of the smart home industry, the overall domestic and international smart home industry, etc., smart home integration market development, smart home integration market size and forecast, and the Internet of Things. Smart home integration application development. China's smart home key companies have done a business analysis, analysis of China's smart home industry trends and investment prospects.

The global smart home previously mentioned above will develop rapidly in the next five years, but the formulation of relevant standards has not kept pace with its development. The current standard seems to be only the "Home Automation System and Communication Standards" developed by the United States in 1988. As one of the major markets for smart homes in the future, China’s related industries also need to improve their home smart home standards as soon as possible under the guidance of the market, and provide standardized reference opinions for the subsequent orderly development to avoid disorderly development.

Smart home industry standards to establish the conditions of the country's smart home standards in the 21st century, the hottest technology keywords, cloud services, Internet of things, IPV6 are closely linked between the three, and their smart home and what is the relationship? Smart home is a terminal of the Internet of Things, and effective communication between various terminals requires the technical support of cloud services and IPV6, because I believe that the establishment of smart home standards is inseparable from them.

The establishment of an industry standard also requires the following two conditions:

First, effective and feasible technical standards: The gradual establishment of cloud services, the Internet of Things, and IPV6 have made technical standards clear but still have many uncertainties.

Second, enough industry influence: At this stage of the smart home solutions and product manufacturers still stay in the physical control layer, no one has enough industry influence.

So now there is no standard for smart homes, but the emergence of this standard will be inevitable.

At this stage, the two most typical technical standards for smart home control system standards are zigbee and Z-wave. The zigbee protocol is used for the architecture of the Internet of Things. Z-wave is specifically tailored for smart homes, but these standards are now used. The enterprises are still in the early stage of development because of the constraints of the surrounding facilities, costs, and technological perfection. Looking at the smart home products on the market, smart home products such as Control4, Siemens, Honeywell, ABB, Crestron and other international companies are still in the initial stage of physical control, regarding information, cloud services, and the Internet of Things. There was no obvious connection between the two.

The development of smart home systems in China has been very rapid in recent years. It almost followed the pace of international development. Early Haier, Suo Biao, Kai Chuang, GKB, Perfect Life, Juhui, and Jiji Smart also had very good after the first round of reshuffle. In the big changes, smart home technologies in China are now mostly RF 315 and 433 wireless RF 2262.1527 standard protocols. This technical standard has a low threshold and low development costs. It plays a very good role in the early development of the market, and with the market's Mature, technical defects gradually exposed, those who did not make a technical transition are dismal.

After the first round of reshuffling at the present stage, there are also some new technologies emerging, which are most representative from the intelligent and reconfigured 2.4G and 433 carrier carriers of Jifu Intelligence, and refer to the mature TCP/IP as the protocol. Zigbee's networking technology has great advantages in terms of cost. It also adheres to the development of the cloud service architecture, and combines voice and voice control functions created by the two company's technologies, including XFee and Wormhole, to make control from the physical control. Into the content control, has been effectively integrated with the Internet of Things and cloud services.

In terms of marketing, adopting the way provided by the OEM program to accelerate the occupation of the smart home market, it is not difficult to see from these two points that the Shenfu Intelligence Company is also running away from the standard, and through the feedback from the market, the integrity of the agreement is continuously improved to the technology. The method provided is to reduce the development risk of other smart home brands and gain market share. The direction is correct, and the method is good, but I do not know how far I can go.

Conclusion Although there is no standard for smart homes at the moment, as the market matures, and after several rounds of market adjustments and reshuffles, the technology used by companies that eventually stand on the market will be the standard. I believe that market standards are absolutely impossible. It is a group of experts who can discuss and must be eliminated through the baptism of the market. I hope that in the future the establishment of international standards, we can see the presence of Chinese companies.
