#smarthomealivehome | What are the characteristics of smart home wiring？

The wiring feature of smart home is mainly to use wifi, bluetooth, zigbee and other wireless signal transmission protocols to link and control smart devices. Compared with traditional integrated wiring, cable lines are reduced, and wiring becomes more convenient and faster.

Smart home wiring should be said to be a small integrated wiring system. It can be used as a part of a comprehensive integrated wiring system for intelligent communities, or it can be completely independent as a comprehensive wiring system. The smart home wiring system is the basis of the smart home system and its transmission channel in terms of function. Many large integrated wiring manufacturers at home and abroad have launched solutions and products for the smart home market.

Wired smart home has strong anti-interference ability, long transmission distance, stable signal and low price. However, with the maturity and development of wireless signal transmission protocols such as wifi, Bluetooth, and ZigBee, wireless smart home is the trend of the future smart home industry. The complicated wiring is eliminated, and the automatic networking is in line with the concept of modern green environmental protection, and it also provides convenience for maintenance services.

The smart switch is currently the most widely acclaimed smart home with a very high penetration rate. It supports all the functions of the traditional switch, and at the same time can use remote control or mobile phone for remote operation, and can change the color to adjust the brightness and darkness.

The traditional lighting wiring method is that the neutral line (that is, the N line, represented by blue, when the neutral line is intact, the voltage between the ground and the ground is 0) is shared by the lamp head, and the live line (that is, the L line, represented by red, the voltage to the ground 220V) into the 86 bottom box on the wall. The switch realizes the switch of the light by mechanically connecting or cutting off the circuit. As for the switch of wireless smart home, because there are electronic modules and chips inside, it needs to receive the on or off signal first, and then control the circuit on and off through the circuit module.

The advantage of the single live wire is that families who want to change to a smart home can directly replace the traditional switch with a smart switch without re-arranging the neutral wire. But its biggest disadvantage is that the load of the switch cannot be too large or too small. If it is too large, it will burn out the internal electronic components, so generally it cannot exceed 100 watts, and high-power electrical appliances such as rice cookers and range hoods cannot be loaded; if it is too small, the lights will flicker, and it should not be lower than 15 watts, and energy-saving lamps with lower wattage And LED lights, there is no choice.

The zero-fire switch has no requirement on the load, and the single circuit can carry more than 1000 watts at most, even the power of the air conditioner can be loaded. There is no limit to the minimum single channel, and users can choose energy-saving and green energy-saving lamps, whether it is 3W or 5W, there will be no problem of flickering lights. Its biggest disadvantage is that it needs to be connected to the neutral wire and the live wire at the same time, while the blank room is usually a single live wire.
