The emergence of big data and the Internet of Things has subverted people's lives. After the rise of the above-mentioned technologies, smart homes have frequently emerged in major media, and they occupy the market with smarter lifestyles as "gimmicks". However, the development of smart home is not smooth sailing. Some people say that it has unlimited potential, and some people say that it is only in name. How will smart home develop in 2018? We will analyze from seven technical perspectives, including artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, biometrics, cloud computing, environmental control, digital intercom, and intelligent security, and predict the development trend of the industry.

Internet of Things

There is no doubt that the rapid development of the Internet of Things has greatly accelerated the popularity of smart homes. Today, in China, the development of the Internet of Things has become a national strategy. The government has put forward many constructive plans to promote the rapid and sound development of the industry. As an emerging industry with "little age", smart home has just caught up with this Take a ride. As a blue ocean project, smart home has unlimited prospects, and all of this depends on the development of the Internet of Things, from wired connection to wireless transmission, from concept to practice, the Internet of Things cleverly connects several seemingly unrelated things in the home. All things are closely linked. Nowadays, the connection of things has become the minimum configuration. On this basis, major smart home manufacturers have also formed their own factions, actively developing various products, and the industry trend is imminent.

  Biometrics

Smart home systems with biometric identification are now subverting people's living habits. In addition to infrared security and remote monitoring, smart combination locks are also being accepted by more and more families and become the choice of ordinary residences. The smart combination lock not only changes the way people use the key to open the door, but the combination lock with the fingerprint identification system allows the elderly and children who do not know how to operate the mobile phone APP to easily unlock the door. As the technology matures, the price of smart combination locks will also be lowered. The convenience and safety of fingerprint locks will also bring a very optimistic market prospect, and a new round of door lock competition will also promote the rapid development of the fingerprint lock market.

  cloud computing

From the perspective of the entire smart community, through cloud computing, users can not only view the turmoil in the house in real time, but also trace the source of it. For example, if someone invades the home, even if the suspect escapes, the video record of the exact time period can be called up according to the response time of various sensors, so as to provide the police with a basis for solving the case.

Similarly, through the overall analysis of the data of various smart sockets and smart switches in the home, it is possible to realize the energy management and control of the family, and formulate an energy-saving, environmentally friendly, convenient and comfortable home appliance lighting plan. "In addition to providing users with large-capacity data storage space, cloud services also play more and more critical roles.

Environmental Control

Many smart home items make people's lives more comfortable and convenient. Environmental problems such as decoration pollution and smog are becoming more and more serious, and people's requirements for indoor environment are gradually increasing. Consumers are more willing to try smart home products with convenient performance and comfort, which will increase the demand for smart air purifiers, sweeping robots, etc., and the importance of fresh air systems will also greatly increase.

Busy work and life make the owner unable to monitor the indoor environmental conditions at all times. If the environmental control is improved to a height of intelligence, the smart home system can automatically sense and monitor the indoor temperature, humidity, air quality, etc., and make corresponding adjustments. will be more favored by consumers.
