Home smart lighting overview

1.1 Market space

Home smart lighting is in the promotion stage, and its application can be described as a hundred flowers and a hundred birds contend. In the next few years, China's lighting market is expected to exceed 100 billion US dollars, while the penetration rate of the home smart lighting market is currently less than 2%. Through the integration and promotion of intelligent control technology and high-efficiency LED, modern home lighting will be the field of “smart”. Intelligent lighting is also an inevitable trend of market demand, and its market segmentation prospects will be immeasurable.

The intelligent lighting system has a centralized intelligent management mode to provide a better quality light environment for people's home life. The application of the system greatly enhances the intelligent management level of the entire home. In addition, people's demand for lighting has been upgraded from single pursuit of light efficiency to higher requirements such as light quality and comfort. Intelligent lighting systems can adjust the light environment and set typical models according to the corresponding requirements, which is more in line with the needs of modern life. The essence of intelligent lighting system is the combination of electronic and networked, which not only realizes the intelligent control, automatic adjustment and scene lighting functions of the lighting system, but also is a window into the Internet, thus generating more high value-added services.

1.2 Application and promotion

1.2.1 Application effect

The controllable performance of LEDs gives the designer unlimited imagination. Through intelligent control technology, it can meet the needs of people's various lighting environments to achieve energy saving and control energy saving. Compared with the single control of manual, group or voice control of traditional home lighting, the intelligent control system has a diversified management mode, and uses sensors to monitor environmental data. The management center realizes wireless connection and network management for lights of home lighting. Brightness adjustment, light color change, soft start and multi-scene settings create a comfortable, energy-efficient and safe atmosphere to meet people's needs.

The system can also implement intelligent management of the entire home lighting according to the distribution pattern, and realize remote wireless management through mobile devices such as mobile phones or IPADs, to improve the management level of the intelligent system and remotely control the application experience, and to consume and operate the energy consumption of each terminal light. Real-time monitoring of the situation, reducing maintenance costs and achieving more energy-efficient operation, creating a simple and warm and comfortable home living atmosphere.

1.2.2 Promotion barriers (breakthroughs)

Although the home intelligent lighting has positive induction of market demand, the corresponding technology still needs to be improved. Moreover, the technical specifications of the industry are not clear, and the standard norms without system are used as the benchmark, which causes the current application confusion and becomes difficult for the home intelligent lighting. The biggest obstacle to rapid and comprehensive promotion. No matter whether the authoritative organization, industry alliance or enterprise has systematically standardized the home intelligent lighting, the most typical reasons are:

(1) The wireless protocol is not uniform. The wireless LAN protocol adopted by the intelligent lighting system is mainly divided into two camps of North American IEEE and European HiperLAN. The commonly used wireless network protocols such as IEEE 802.11 series, HiperLAN, IrDA, HomeRF, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ZigBee form their own. The ecosystem is not fully compatible with each other. Manufacturers are unable to reach a consensus in the process of research and development, production and promotion, and consumers are also very one-sided in their understanding, and it is difficult to gain public recognition.

(2) The existing home lighting adopts multiple interfaces to realize the dimming and color adjustment of the lighting. Most of the wall switches are the mainstream, and the control points are dispersed to make the use of the elderly and special groups inconvenient, and the centralized control operation cannot be performed simply and conveniently.

(3) The market positioning is too high, far exceeding the consumption expectations of ordinary consumers, and it is difficult to be accepted by the market. A set of Philips Hue is more than 1,000 yuan, and the Yeelight bulbs launched by Xiaomi are also more than 100 yuan each. This price positioning can only be accepted by a few experienced people, and ordinary consumers can only look at the flowers.

The development prospect of home intelligent lighting

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the individualization requirements for home lighting are getting higher and higher. The intelligent control technology is constantly upgraded and improved, and the level and level of intelligence are getting higher and higher. The application is gradually operated and the functions are more colorful. Innovation is the driving force for technological progress. Innovation has a profound impact on all walks of life. The innovation trends of intelligent lighting mainly include the following aspects:

2.1 Personalized needs

As the function of intelligent lighting systems becomes more and more diverse, future home lighting will no longer be controlled by lights, switches, and adjustments. While paying attention to external fashion sense and personalized design, the appetite will pursue more functional needs. While paying attention to the quality and health of the light environment, it will incorporate more emotions and preferences for personal transformation (do it yourself, DIY ). DIY can directly and accurately express and realize the most realistic lighting effects of the application. Systematic DIY for intelligent lighting will become a fun life for enthusiasts.

2.2 Data Mining Technology

The intelligent lighting system can not only set according to environmental changes and the predetermined pattern of the application, but also systematically collect various information, and use the data mining technology to perform corresponding logical analysis and calculation judgment on the collected information, and the conclusions of the analysis can be determined according to the demand. The information is stored, displayed, and transmitted, and then the work status information feedback and control settings that meet the requirements are made to achieve the intended purpose.

2.3 Linkage and intelligence

Intelligent lighting systems are widely distributed in homes and involve a large number of control nodes. It is not simply to add lighting devices to intelligent programs to achieve intelligent lighting. Instead, it must have a complete control system, innovative technology and practicality. The products are combined. The system will be developed from a single lighting intelligence to linkage control with other household appliances through a seamless network connection to achieve a comprehensive networking of home intelligence systems.

2.4 Wireless remote control

Mobile devices such as smart phones and IPADs have been widely used, and users can flexibly manipulate various programs on the terminal devices without any professional training. The terminal equipment is the most convenient and practical control terminal for home intelligent lighting, and also accumulates a large number of potential users for the promotion of home intelligent lighting. The hardware is to realize the intelligent control carrier. In the future, the competition of home intelligent lighting will focus on the three aspects of “software, service and cloud”, and rely on software to add value-added services. At the same time, there will be more interaction and innovation between people and lighting, which will perfectly reflect the humanization and personalization of home intelligent lighting.

2.5 Marketing

With the mature application of intelligent control technology, integrators and agents who mainly operate wired products will increase the promotion of wireless intelligent lighting products as market demand changes. Similarly, high-end smart lighting integrators will also increase the compatibility of wireless products, broaden the scope of business and increase the flexibility of market sales.

Conclusion

The core value of home smart lighting is based on technological innovation, to meet the diversified choice based on people's requirements for light, and to get a new experience and recognition of the application.
