Smart homes use automatic control systems as the main body, connecting safety, air conditioning, electric power, and lighting to create a comfortable living environment.
The use of automation technology in industrial manufacturing has gradually matured, and hardware and software suppliers have gradually shifted their sights to other fields. At the same time, construction companies have begun to look for elements of value-added products in order to highlight the market segmentation of their own projects. In the situation where there is consensus at both ends of supply and demand, the smart home market is rapidly formed. In terms of the global market, according to market analysis agency Strategy Analytics, the global smart home market has reached US$17 billion in 2014, and IDC predicts that it will be smart home in 2020. The IoT market is expected to reach a market size of 51.77 billion U.S. dollars.
Smart home is different from the digital home pushed by Intel in the past. They belong to different areas. Digital homes connect home entertainment in a network through various communication technologies, while smart homes The automatic control system is the main body, connecting safety, air conditioning, electric power, lighting and other equipment in series to create a comfortable living environment.
The development of smart homes in Europe and the United States has been relatively long. In these regions, “automation systems†have been regarded as home appliances, not just technology products. Its relationship with buildings is inseparable from lighting, kitchen utensils, and air conditioning. In terms of things, automation systems are part of the basic building materials.
In Asia, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea have taken a faster pace. Japan started in 2000 as the earliest country to start, while Korea and Taiwan started to promote in 2004 and 2005 respectively. Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea all There are policies behind the support and promotion. Looking at the Taiwan region, the government has listed “intelligent living space†as an important issue for the SRB conference in the past few years and has formulated a series of policies to promote industrial growth.
Although China was slow to start, it was recognized as the fastest growing smart home country. China classified smart homes into the overall development of the Internet of Things and included it as a plan for the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, according to the China Communications Network. According to statistics, in 2012, China’s total value of the Internet of Things reached RMB 365 billion, of which smart homes accounted for about 30%, and the converted output value was about RMB 120 billion. China’s most important advantage comes from its past foundations. The lack of construction, under the thinking of one step, most new buildings will directly import the latest technology, so the market demand is quite large.
Although the market has grown at different speeds, the type of automation technology used in the home is quite consistent, and is selected from four fixed types including fire and safety, energy monitoring management, environmental control, alarm security, etc. The hardware architecture of these application types, Nothing more than sensors and communications equipment, and then through the management platform unified control, the concept of this type of technology has been a period of time, in the past called the sensing network, the first two years of application to expand again, changed the name of the Internet of Things However, although the concept of architecture is not new, the application and performance of sensing, communication, and software platform technologies are not comparable to those of previous systems.
In addition to the above four types of functions, there are a number of automation technologies such as remote care, which have also been applied to homes and buildings. However, in terms of breadth and depth of application, these four categories are still dominant, as well as audio and video entertainment. The integration of digital home systems, the current trend is still not obvious, the introduction of the application of automation technology to the family is still basically consistent with Maslow's demand theory, in the early days of development, physiological needs and safety functions are the first In one step, after these two types of needs are met, social, respect, self-realization, and other related functional designs will emerge. This also represents a significant growth space for smart home market development. The future market potential is still worth looking forward to.
