Smart Home: Architecture, Technologies and Systems

Abstract

The smart home service is a key part of the smart grid consumption. It is a real-time interactive response between the power grid and users, and enhances the comprehensive service capability of the power grid, also realizes the intelligent and interactive use of electricity, further improves the operation mode of the power grid and the users’ Use patterns to improve end-user energy efficiency. The smart home is a residential-based platform that uses IoT, computer technology, control technology, image display technology and communication technology to connect various facilities through the network to meet the automation requirements of the entire system and provide more convenient control and management. This paper analyzes the characteristics of smart home, gives the smart home composition and the application of key equipment; and smart home key technologies to illustrate the design of smart home electricity service system and related communication systems.
