Design principles of Smart Home
5 Big Principles need to follow while design Smart Home Line
Measuring the success of an intelligent system in a residential area does not depend only on the number of intelligent systems, the advanced nature of the system or the degree of integration, but on whether the design and configuration of the system is economical and reasonable and whether the system can operate successfully, whether the use, management and maintenance of the system is convenient, whether the technology of the system or product is mature and applicable, in other words, how to exchange the least investment and the simplest way to achieve the greatest effect and achieve a convenient and high-quality life.
In order to achieve the above goals, smart home system design should follow the following principles:
1. Practical and convenient
The most basic goal of smart home is to provide people with a comfortable, safe, convenient and efficient living environment. For smart home products, the most important thing is to take practicality as the core, abandon those flashy, can only be used as decoration functions, the product is practical, easy to use and humanized.
When designing a smart home system, the following most practical and basic home control functions should be integrated according to the user's needs for smart home functions: including smart home appliance control, intelligent light control, electric curtain control, anti-theft alarm, access control intercom, gas leakage, etc., and can also expand value-added functions such as three-table cc, video on demand and other services. The control methods for many personalized smart homes are very rich and diverse, such as: local control, remote control, centralized control, mobile phone remote control, induction control, network control, timing control, etc., the original intention is to let people get rid of cumbersome affairs, improve efficiency, if the operation process and program settings are too cumbersome, it is easy for users to have a rejection psychology. Therefore, in the design of smart homes, we must fully consider the user experience, pay attention to the convenience and intuitiveness of operation, and it is best to use a graphical image control interface to make the operation what you see is what you get.
2. Reliability
The intelligent subsystems of the entire building should be able to operate twenty-four hours a day, and the safety, reliability and fault tolerance of the system must be highly valued. For each subsystem, corresponding fault-tolerant measures are taken in terms of power supply and system backup to ensure the normal and safe use, quality and performance of the system, and the ability to cope with various complex environmental changes.
3.Standard
The design of smart home system solutions should be carried out in accordance with the relevant standards of countries and regions, to ensure the expansion and scalability of the system, and to adopt standard TCP/IP protocol network technology in system transmission to ensure that the system can be compatible and interconnected between different manufacturers. The front-end device of the system is a versatile, open, and scalable device. For example, the system host, terminal and module adopt standardized interface design to provide an integrated platform for external manufacturers of home intelligent systems, and its functions can be expanded, when it is necessary to increase functions, there is no need to excavate the pipe network, simple, reliable, convenient and saving. Systems and products are designed to enable interoperability with future evolving third-party controlled devices.
4. Convenience
Whether the wiring installation is simple is directly related to the cost, scalability, and maintainability of the problem, we must choose a simple wiring system, and the construction can be wired together with the cell broadband, simple and easy; The equipment is easy to learn, easy to operate and maintain. The convenient design of the system in engineering installation and commissioning is also very important. Family intelligence has a remarkable feature, that is, the workload of installation, commissioning and maintenance is very large, which requires a lot of manpower and material investment, and becomes a bottleneck restricting the development of the industry. In view of this problem, the system should be designed to consider the convenience of installation and maintenance, such as the system can be remotely debugged and maintained through the Internet. Through the network, it not only enables residents to realize the control function of the family intelligent system, but also allows engineering personnel to remotely check the working conditions of the system and diagnose the failure of the system. In this way, system settings and version updates can be carried out in different places, which greatly facilitates the application and maintenance of the system, improves the response speed, and reduces maintenance costs.
5. Lightweight type
"Lightweight" smart home product, as the name suggests, it is a lightweight smart home system. "Simple", "practical" and "dexterous" are its most important features, and it is also the biggest difference between it and the traditional smart home system. Therefore, we generally call smart home products that do not require construction deployment, can be freely combined with functions, and are relatively cheap and can be sold directly to the end consumer as "lightweight" smart home products.
