#smarthomealivehome | What are the advantages and disadvantages of smart home appliances？

Smart home appliances can realize remote control, security, security and other all-round control and management, so as to realize the one-key control of all home appliances and household equipment in the home through mobile phones. At that time, its disadvantage was that the price was high, and many product operations were not user-friendly enough, which caused many users to experience a bad experience.

Smart home appliances are home appliance products formed by introducing microprocessor, sensor technology, and network communication technology into home appliances. At the same time, as a component of smart home, smart home appliances can be connected with other home appliances, homes and facilities in the house to form a system to realize smart home functions.

Smart home appliances are not mysterious at all. Recalling the early electric irons and rice cooker thermostats, they actually have the characteristics of intelligence. But at that time, the characteristics of intelligence were relatively low, and the concept of intelligence was not formed. With the development of sensing technology, chip technology, RFID technology, and network technology, smart home appliances in the true sense have begun to enter our lives.

1. Advantages of smart home appliances: Smart home appliances can realize remote control, security, security and other all-round control management, so they are highly praised by many people. Nowadays, many companies that produce smart home appliances will install communication networks inside smart home appliances, so as to realize the one-key control of all home appliances and household equipment in the home through mobile phones. Just imagine, before you get home, you can turn on the water heater at home through your mobile phone, automatically boil the water, and then turn on the air conditioner, creating an atmosphere like the owner is at home. This can not only upgrade the user experience, but also prevent thieves from entering, which is a lifestyle that many modern people dream of.

2. Disadvantages of smart home appliances: high price. Because of their advanced technology, smart home appliances are much more expensive than traditional home appliances. In addition, the operation of smart home appliances is not user-friendly. It is not as seen in the movie that all devices can be turned on with a wave of the hand, resulting in a bad experience for many users. As people's demand for smart home appliances increases, major manufacturers also want to enter the market, which leads to the lack of guarantee of product quality. After all, smart technology is not that simple.

Features of smart home appliances:

1. Network function. All kinds of smart home appliances can be connected together through the home local area network, and can also be connected with the manufacturer's service site through the home gateway interface, and finally can be connected with the Internet to realize information sharing.

2. Intelligent. Smart home appliances can automatically respond to changes in the surrounding environment without human intervention. For example, smart air conditioners can automatically adjust their working status to achieve the best results according to different seasons, climates and user locations.

3. Openness and compatibility. Since the smart home appliances in the user's home may come from different manufacturers, the smart home appliance platform must be developed and compatible.

4. Energy saving. Smart home appliances can automatically adjust working time and working status according to the surrounding environment, so as to achieve energy saving.

5. Ease of use. Since the complex control operation process has been solved by the controller embedded in the smart home appliance, users only need to understand very simple operations. Smart home appliances do not just refer to a certain home appliance, but should be a technical system. With the continuous development of human application needs and intelligent home appliances, its content will be more abundant, and the functions of smart home appliances will also vary according to the actual application environment. There are differences, but generally should have the following basic functions:

(1) Communication function. Including telephone, network, remote control/alarm, etc.

(2) Intelligent control of consumer electronics products. For example, a microwave oven that can automatically control heating time and temperature, an intelligent air conditioner that can automatically adjust temperature and humidity, a TV/VCR that can automatically search for and record TV programs according to instructions, etc.

(3) Interactive intelligent control. The voice control function of smart home appliances can be realized through voice recognition technology; the active action response of smart home appliances can be realized through various active sensors (such as temperature, sound, motion, etc.). Users can also define different responses of different smart home appliances in different scenarios.

(4) Security control function. Including access control system, automatic fire alarm, gas leakage, electricity leakage, water leakage and so on.

(5) Health and medical functions. Including health equipment monitoring, remote diagnosis and treatment, elderly/patient abnormal monitoring, etc.

The rapid development of intelligent control technology and information technology also provides the possibility for home appliance automation and intelligence. Smart home appliances are home appliances that have the functions of automatic monitoring of their own faults, automatic measurement, automatic control, automatic adjustment and communication with a remote control center.

Traditional household appliances include air conditioners, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, rice cookers, washing machines, etc. New household appliances include induction cookers, disinfection cupboards, steamers and stewers, etc. Regardless of new household appliances or traditional household appliances, the overall technology is constantly improving. The key to the progress of household appliances lies in the adoption of advanced control technology, so that household appliances have changed from a mechanical appliance to an intelligent device. Smart household appliances embody the latest technological features of household appliances.
