How far is the smart home from us?

The Internet is infiltrating into the central air-conditioning industry at an unexpected rate. In the first quarter of this year, the giants of the two major Chinese home appliance industries, Midea and Haier, successively released their smart home products and related strategies for the Internet to the market, and all involved central air-conditioning products. At the 2014 China Refrigeration Exhibition, Midea and Haier also exhibited their related smart home products. Among them, Midea has set up an experience exhibition area to enable the audience to experience the beautiful smart home products, including professional air and hot water. , light source, energy, security and other solutions. More importantly, Midea's M-Smart Smart Home is an open platform, not only limited to Midea's products, but also to incorporate different brands of home appliances into the system. The cloud smart center on display at Haier is also attracting attention. The Haier Cloud Smart Center, which has been upgraded again, also has great compatibility. It can be cross-branded, cross-terminal, and compatible with all brands of central air conditioners, floor heating and new fans. Other ventilation products such as ventilation, forming a 7×24-hour butler service.

In fact, smart home has entered the Chinese market for a long time. Since the 1990s, smart homes have been born in the market as high-tech applications, but the development is slow. In the past two years, major events in the smart home industry have appeared frequently, further accelerating the development of smart homes in the domestic market, especially when the current Internet mobile terminals are prevalent, as Wu Wenxin, president of Midea Air Conditioning, said that the choice of the United States The M-Smart smart home strategy is now released because of the “high-speed development and popularization of intelligent mobile internet terminals”. In fact, this is also one of the key factors in the current home appliance industry to set off a wave of intelligence. In addition, the objective future market demand is also an important factor for many home appliance manufacturers to carry out the high-profile smart home layout. According to the 2013 Smart Home Industry Research Report released by the International Internet of Things Trade and Application Promotion Association, the next three years, China The growth of the smart home market will continue to increase. By 2017, the market size of China's smart home industry will reach 8 billion yuan. Moreover, some industry analysts predict that by 2020, the ecological output value of smart homes will rise from 5 billion yuan in 2010 to 1 trillion yuan.

For the central air conditioner and even the entire home appliance industry, Haier, Midea and other home appliance manufacturers have more important significance in the layout of the smart home industry at this time. On the day of the launch of Haier Cloud Intelligent Center on April 9th, Wu Desheng, the vice chairman of the China Building Association's HVAC branch and the chief consultant of the Beijing Architectural Design and Research Institute, praised him. “The open platform that breaks through the brand barrier will accelerate the traditional air conditioner. The transformation to the era of intelligent air conditioning, subverting the central air conditioning operation and maintenance mode, is an important change for the entire industry." Jiang Feng, chairman of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, also commented on the layout of the smart home, the United States Group It has set an example for the transformation and upgrading of China's home appliance industry. It is a landmark event for the transformation of traditional home appliance enterprises into Internet thinking. It provides a new enterprise sample for the majority of the industry's existing models of relying on single products to build smart home appliances and individual combat.

However, for the smart homes that are currently being fired, some insiders believe that if the industry wants to achieve rapid development, there are still some bottlenecks that need to be broken. First, there is a need to develop uniform standards. At present, most of the smart home products on the market are self-contained systems, and there is no uniform standard, which causes incompatibilities of their respective products. If there are uniform access standards, many obstacles will be clarified. Second, a more user-friendly design that increases the consumer experience. For consumers, choosing smart home itself is to enjoy the more convenient and more comfortable life brought by high technology. However, many consumers now reflect that some smart home products are like high-tech, but practical. Poor, complicated operation, and lack of humanization in interaction design. Again, the cost and price issues of smart home systems include the price of the product itself and the cost of long-term maintenance during use. In addition, there is still a problem with the use of smart home, that is, information security issues. When a consumer controls a home product through a smart terminal such as a mobile phone or a computer, the generated data will be stored on the server, and if the information is leaked or utilized, it will cause great trouble to the consumer. If home appliance manufacturers want to achieve greater development in smart homes, they must first solve the problem of consumer safety and trust.

All in all, the problems existing in the entire smart home industry are not solved in a short time, and the entire smart home industry needs to be jointly explored and solved. And once the various "barriers" in the market are broken, China's smart home industry will usher in explosive growth.
