The concept of smart home has been heated up in recent years, and the control of home devices through wireless networks such as WIFI, Zigbee and Bluetooth has become a new trend in market development. At the 2014 Shanghai Electronics Show in Munich, the editors of Electronic Enthusiasts discovered smart home solutions from companies such as Microchip, Murata, STMicroelectronics and Roma. Microchip: Building a collectively controlled home In a typical smart home product, it is usually the case that a product uses a terminal control, such as air conditioners and lights, respectively, using different terminals. In Microchip's booth, we saw an intelligent platform built by the company to collect data from home devices into a concentrator and then intelligently control the devices at home through a home networking console. According to Microchip, its HMI is a WQVGA display, which is driven by Microchip's PIC and incorporates various components such as a touch screen controller. On this control interface, we can see the LED and temperature of the network connected to the home. Various data such as humidity, smoke sensing, energy consumption, etc., and can monitor these devices on the controller. Murata: Building a smart society with wireless modules and sensors As Murata said, the Energy Management System (EMS) is used to perform precise control of lighting and air conditioning, and sensors used throughout the home are used to detect power consumption and environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and light. This smart home sensor network system makes EMS easy to set up. Sensor technology, wireless communication technology and software are available, and Murata's smart home is poised for growth. At the electronics show, Murata showed its DEMO system for intelligent lighting, which will connect the LED lights of the Murata wireless module to the mini gateway, and then through the APP designed by Murata itself, using the Android or Apple device installed on the APP to the intelligent lighting terminal. Switch and measure. This is the smart lighting inside the smart home. Among them, the connection with the gateway and the device, according to Murata's introduction, which can be connected by WIFI, Zigbee or low-power Bluetooth module. The electronic enthusiast network Xiaobian saw the low-power Bluetooth module and embedded WIFI module on display at the scene. Murata also exhibited its various sensor products at the exhibition site, and was able to match it with smart home applications, such as thermoelectric infrared sensors, which can be installed outside the house to achieve home security monitoring. Similarly, ultrasonic sensors can also be used as home security. These are combined through the gateway, which can become an important part of smart home. In addition to the control of smart homes in the LAN, Murata also provides cloud server services, which allows users to monitor the home status through the WAN. This is what we call the true meaning of smart home. ROHM joins EnOcean: Pushing a battery-free wireless communication module to help smart home We know that smart homes must use wireless communication modules for wireless control. The general wireless communication modules generally need power supply. At the 2014 Munich Shanghai show, ROHM demonstrated a batteryless wireless communication module to help smart home. . Here we need to introduce the EnOcean Alliance, a group that promotes the development and reference of battery-free, maintenance-free sensor networks. The group applies communication specifications for ultra-low-power wireless solutions that utilize energy harvesting and battery-free, wireless communication technologies that utilize energy harvesting. ROHM became the first promoter in Asia. In the solution shown by Roma, when the customer presses the control terminal, the energy collector inside the switch collects energy. Since the entire wireless sensor network requires less energy, it is this energy. Used for the sensor network, it can control the LED light and fan light equipment on the other end of the wireless network. This method not only saves energy, but also has advantages in terms of convenience. It can save maintenance costs when drinking, and it is a new way of smart home.
