In recent years, the smart home industry has seen significant growth in the building materials and home market. According to relevant data, the scale of the smart home market is expected to reach 180 billion RMB by 2018. As the smart home system platforms gradually improve, more and more industries are joining this big stage of smart homes. However, due to various factors, the popularization of smart home products has not been smooth. Many people still confuse smart homes with smart appliances, thinking that purchasing various trendy smart appliances later is equivalent to enjoying a smart home life, but this is not the case!

Real smart homes should be accurately called smart butlers. They can learn the owner’s living habits and communicate with the owner, mastering the owner’s living patterns. Based on the owner’s schedule, they automatically turn on and off household appliances without needing remote or manual control of switches and buttons, achieving full automation. Just like TARS from Interstellar, they can promptly alert the owner in case of emergencies, automatically identify intruders, sound alarms, lock doors, turn off lights, and even call the police.

There is also a consumer misconception that smart homes have become a stereotype of high consumption and “luxury goods” in people’s minds. Some manufacturers rush products to market at high prices, leading consumers to misunderstand smart homes, thinking they are something only wealthy families can afford. In fact, for an ordinary two-bedroom apartment, installing a basic smart home system, including appliance control, smart lighting, smart security, and electric curtains, often costs less than 30,000 to 40,000 RMB.

So, what exactly is a smart home?

In simple terms, it is a product of the Internet’s influence, where various home devices are connected through IoT technology. In the physical context of the home and the cultural environment, everything is interconnected and controlled by a single terminal or sensing system. By constructing an intelligent service system solution that integrates automation systems, computer networks, and communication technologies, it ultimately makes home life healthier, low-carbon, intelligent, comfortable, safe, and convenient.

In the wave of smart homes, innovation and technology will be the key for home enterprises to win the market, and personalized customized home products will increasingly be favored by those pursuing quality living. In the environment of the Internet and IoT, these feature-rich smart terminals achieve interconnectivity and control through system integration. The powerful functions of smart home products are limited only by your imagination. Aside from the already popular products like robotic vacuum cleaners and smart toilet seats, the current trends also include fingerprint locks and smart wardrobes… A major feature of smart home products is their rich variety. Considering this year’s home fashion trends, the journalist summarized the ten most popular smart home functions among consumers.
