Intelligent lighting on the smart home trends

With the progress of technology, "China made", "smart home", "smart city""...... A time of "smart" flowers, "brought new opportunities for the Big Dipper", has become an important direction of enterprise competition for a new round of competition system. Intelligent lighting on the tuyere, but also to explore the future development of thinking, and as a part of smart home, the development of smart home is no doubt affects the hearts of the people. This article from the smart home the current pattern of the development of intelligent lighting, I hope to be able to discuss, and industry colleagues to explore.

In my opinion, the current smart home has not yet been developed to the extent of the division to the camp, at present, all types of enterprises are basically in the self built platform or around attack, exploratory alliance stage.

First, Samsung, LG, Haier, the United States, for example, the traditional home appliance enterprises not only in the formation of their own smart home system, is also seeking to form a unified alliance with other related industries. Samsung Smart Home smart Home Furnishing platform of their own equipment, this platform contains basically all Samsung's own products, they formed a relatively closed system, because the relationship between competition, home appliance basically not other manufacturers to join this platform when, of course, such as Tizen Samsung mobile phone operating system both the Android system has also developed its own, Samsung in the development of intelligent Home Furnishing own at the same time, also to form an alliance with the outside world, which joined the AllSeen alliance open source Alljoyn framework technology based by Qualcomm contribution, joined Google's Nest, Labs ARM, Silicon Labs, fly think of Carle and other members of the formation the Thread alliance.

Haier in developing their Haier U+ intelligent Home Furnishing platform, but also to open up and welcome other products access attitude, at the same time, Haier also joined the AllSeen alliance, and also in support of the active layout for Apple Homekit; LG and other traditional home appliance manufacturers, Haier and Samsung strategy is basically the same, to build their own platform at the same time also actively seek outside help, actively accounted pit, do not want to be excluded from the mainstream technology in the future possible.

The two is like millet, Meizu, 360 this kind of intelligent mobile phone or software industry and the development of intelligent Home Furnishing enterprise, due to its basic is the mobile phone products or software products of a single species started for intelligent Home Furnishing industry contains hardware and software, complex ecological chain, these enterprises take the means of acquisition, injection some small company, or to seek external cooperation and other ways to construct their own eco system. In the structure of a more open system. One way is through the wireless module, providing a unified cloud services, attract other enterprises not based wireless communication technology, cloud services, such as February of this year, millet and Ya Ming, OPPLE, PHILPS, sun, Hongyan, Linsen, Corey, Ying Hui, Bai Rui, CDH, 13 years, dangoo lighting business signed a joint statement to build intelligent lighting, millet will assist these lighting companies access to its intelligent Home Furnishing ecosystem; similar to millet 360, released in March 360 of the 360 Home Furnishing intelligent platform knilink module based on low price to the wireless module, with intelligent cloud services, 360 super APP, digital home appliances to attract hardware manufacturers more access to the platform.

Another way is to build an open platform by SDK software, such as Meizu released LifeKit intelligent hardware platform can realize mobile phone access and collaborative Meizu LifeKit platform smart socket, intelligent watches, air conditioning, air purifiers and other products. At the same time, millet, Meizu, 360 are also seeking and external form of Strategic Alliance for the common interests of the household electrical appliance enterprises and Internet companies, such as millet and beauty, Haier, Meizu and Ali, 360 and GREE (not officially announced, there are signs).

The three is to provide a unified cloud service access platform, such as Ali, Jingdong and other cloud service enterprises, the intelligent platform for Home Furnishing is basically some small and medium-sized enterprise products, system platform is open, any enterprise can access their platform, and the lower threshold, these enterprises mainly provide cloud services, cloud super APP the service, and the hardware is to cooperate with the Qing Branch, Hanfeng other wireless module manufacturers, the hope to create a unified entrance Home Furnishing intelligent equipment, at the same time through the online mall and other commercial channels to be marketing support, profit model for general access free of charge, but the equipment operation data by Ali cloud storage all, when the user needs big data analysis services need to pay for the purchase of Ali, in such a way of support, Ali intelligent life career Alibaba was established in April Department, to enter the field of intelligent life, and Haier, the United States has established a strategic alliance. In March 27th, Ali also held 2015 smart lighting intelligent cloud strategic cooperation forum, PHILPS, GE, OSRAM, many CREE, OPPLE, NVC, Linsen, sunshine lighting companies are involved in the meeting, to create intelligent lighting and other topics were discussed.

The four is Ou Ruibo to Home Furnishing Bolian, intelligent industry start-ups, these companies tend to intelligent socket, wireless switch and other single product gradually cut into the smart Home Furnishing market, in several rounds of venture capital, also began in the overall development of wireless module, SDK software, cloud services, the establishment of intelligent Home Furnishing platform of their own also, keep an open mind, to support other manufacturers and equipment access, in addition, is also actively
