Smart Home and Smart Life: Wireless Connection and Interoperability
In our daily life, we use a variety of smart home devices and integrate them into our family, becoming "more intelligent". However, while using these smart devices, we also see many competing wireless network technologies.
Now we will discuss various wireless technologies and explain where and why they should be used in smart homes.
Wi-Fi
WiFi technology is the fastest transmission technology at present and the cost of products is low. WiFi technology is more popular in the current life. The most convenient thing is to buy components and connect to WiFi network. So at present, the smart home products based on WiFi technology account for the largest market share. The disadvantages are poor security, weak stability, high power consumption and limited connectable equipment. The actual size of WiFi network will not exceed 16, and in the development of smart home, the number of switches, lighting, household appliances will certainly be far more than 16. So WiFi has its advantages, but its limitations are also great, which limits its development.
Bluetooth Low Power Consumption (BLE)
Bluetooth Low Power Consumption is a wireless technology specially designed for low energy (low power) devices. It is this function that enables to equip smart home devices of BLE to run for months or years without changing batteries.
It should also be noted that one of the main highlights of BLE technology is that it has been embedded in all mobile phones and their accessories. It is the inclusion of this technology that makes it very easy to pair smartphones with other products.
ZigBee
ZigBee technology is a kind of two-way wireless communication technology with short-range, low-complexity, low-power, low-speed and low-cost. ZigBee can work in this three frequency bands of 2.4 GH (global), 868 MHz (Europe), 915 MHz (United States). The highest 250 Kbit/s, the lowest 20 Kbit/s and transmission distance between 10-75M. The security of ZigBee is well recognized. ZigBee adopts AES-128 encryption mode. In addition, the self-organizing network and self-healing ability of ZigBee network are strong.
Conclusion
For all the wireless network competitive technologies on the market (including but not limited to WiFi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth mesh and Zigbee), there is clearly no single and mainstream standard to promote the development of products for smart home and smart life applications and technologies. Although each of these unique protocols has its own advantages and disadvantages, the best way to achieve device interoperability is to use multi-protocol software and hardware solutions.
Science and Technology Change the World and Wisdom Brighten the Future.
IVOR Intelligence has blossomed everywhere.
