10minutes to know Smart Home Technology
What is smart home technology?
Smart home technology is a collective term for information and communication technology used in houses, where the mutiple components are communicating via a local network through technology such as ZigBee, Zwave, Wifi, KNX, EIB, X10 and so on. It is widely used to monitor, warn and alarm, regulate condition and carry out directive ordered by users. Smart home technology also makes item have automatic communication with the surroundings to have linkage and joint performance via the Internet.
Smart home technology can bring you a totally different experience and convenience than does conventional home devices and appliances, because of wire or wireless high-tech base. Traditional home products are signle and secluded, cannot be controlled by a controlling device, thus people should operate them manually as well as at the scene. However, smart home technology allows one center terminal to control your home appliance remotely. Even you are thousands of miles away, smart home can also give you a positive support to help you regulate house conditions. For example when friends visit your house but you are absent, you can use your cellphone or tablet PC to open your door lock remotely.
Smart homes technology can not only offer you great convenient living standard but also support to build a safer and secure house condition. Smart home contains fields of security protection items, such as camera, smoke detector, IR motion detector, etc. Good physical protection is guaranteed in smart home so as to help you no longer to worry about any hidden security risks. Therefore, your family members can enjoy a high-caliber lifestyle.
Sensor
Sensor is used to monitor and measure activities in the surroundings. It can collect surrounding data in the house. For example, temperature and humidity, light, sounds, movement, gas, air, smoke, water and so on. These sensors work as body capillary to sense change and transmitter data to center controller.
Controller
Controllers make choices based on programmed rules and occurrences. Controller can change the scene condition manually or automatically. They turn on or off one or more items to reach a satisfactory effect users’ needed. For instance, smart switch can be turn on by itself or user and smart curtain can also be opened when ambient light outside is enough strong.

How Do You Think About Smart Home and Security?
Recently there were some articles discussed safety issue related to smart home. Some even provided examples of situations where “computer experts” can break into our smart homes via the internet and take over control over basic functions. Now, a hacker flushing your toilet maybe a nuisance, but unlocking the front door to let uninvited guests in may be really nasty. So, clearly some work to be done as a lack of security would be really a showstopper for rolling out the smart home.
The good news for ZigBee is that in articles and their examples there was no mention of any ZigBee compromised system. ZigBee has many methods for making sure that the network is kept secure. It has 128-bit AES link encryption, making it virtually impossible to casually listen in to any exchange. It also uses encrypted key exchange for commissioning of new devices and frame counters to avoid replaying of messages (“to open the door again”). ZigBee has learned a lot from WiFi and probably the best news is that the ZigBee Alliance has a system in place to stay alert to emerging issues and to address new and “out of the box” ways to compromise security of a smart home system.
Wulian smart home, as an advanced ZigBee Alliance and the Headquarter of ZigBee Alliance China, thinks ultimate security does not exist, and only when technologists and marketers work together closely to keep exploring new solutions can smart home achieves security without compromising users experience. Wulian smart home considers today’s ZigBee as a relatively secure networking method, but it doesn’t think there is nothing to improve. In wulian smart home product system, solutions for future potential problems have been prepared in advance.
Today the smart homes is a set of more or less independent applications, whether for consumer electronics, security, energy management, lighting or home care. Product developers in the different application spaces are developing products independently and these products have a large variety of user interfaces and security solutions. Over time the security protocols for these networks will start to converge and standardize. Wulian smart home has this great vision for the industry and thus participate actively in standard developing and establishing.
