Millet ZigBee gateway can successfully break it

Author: xiaozhen, e-commerce expert, Nanjing University business school part-time tutor, Shanghai boat technology company CMO. Shun Zhou science and technology is a traditional household appliance manufacturers to provide intelligent solutions for Internet companies.

Millet has recently introduced "smart home kits", including multi-function gateway, human sensors, window sensors, wireless switch, and so on. Millet multi-function gateway uses millet intelligent modules, Zigbee device can be connected to the small Mijun and other smart devices.

The smart family package is for Smart Security home security system also means millet from 2014 push rings, sockets, lamps, air purifiers and other unilateral market strategy of intelligent items to the items and the parallel system of intelligent home strategy. Combine millet investment home business a while ago, "love space", enter the smart home of the upstream industry chain reconstruction heavy traditional home improvement industry, this can be seen in its determination to build a smart home system-level.

Lei January 20 tweets claimed that millet introduced "to mobile phones as the Center, connecting all smart devices" strategic design "intelligent module + universal control center + cloud service" smart home solutions and intelligent modules only 22, greatly reducing the difficulty of the intelligent! Clearly shows that millet 2015 layout strategies for smart home ecosystem.

General control center referred to Lei, obviously refers to the smart home smart home of the Giants coveted entrance. In 10 years, smart home solutions now had a dream to build your own smart home centers, its physical form is a gateway. Which is an existing home network network devices that are not in the chain as a whole, rice noodles are out to brain repair, Baidu "ZigBee gateway" this keyword also became a hot word, rice noodles are asking what does it artifact, especially what is ZigBee technology, and compared to known WiFi have any different?

In the current WiFi wireless communication is absolutely the mainstream intelligent single market in 2014 in the limelight. As the ZigBee technology, there are clearly advantages although many lighting furniture giant's favor, but is not much progress at the market level. Why millet launched the smart home kits based on this technology? Talk about ZigBee technology several advantages here:

1, high security

Security due to its systematic design of ZigBee technology, so far, break precedent with ZigBee technology in the world has not yet happened, and wireless technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Z-Wave of safety accidents. Thus its short-range wireless communications in the field of security.

2, low power consumption

ZigBee technology uses extremely low-power design, theoretically, a battery can be used for more than 10 years, and practical application of a battery in 2 years or so, this low-power technology in the smart home applications, including intelligent door lock, infrared Repeater, temperature, humidity, and other sensor applications with ease.

3, strong networking capability

In theory, a ZigBee gateway may be connected to more than 65,000 more equipment, has current practical application can form a stable network of more than 100 devices, such a network is already well over WiFi, Z-Wave, Bluetooth technology, in the foreseeable future would be enough to be able to bear the smart home of the future demand.

ZigBee Alliance (ZigBee Alliance) was announced last November, to wireless standards ZigBee single standard 3.0. The standard for all smart device interoperability using ZigBee technology, will enable consumers to access to seamless collaboration and to bring convenience to people's daily lives of innovative products and services.

ZigBee 3.0 covers the broadest range of device types, including home automation, lighting, energy management, intelligent home appliances, safety devices, sensors and medical healthcare monitoring products. It supports both system-easy to use DIY equipment and professional installation. Based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and operating frequency of 2.4 GHz (global frequency) ZigBee 3.0 using the ZigBee PRO network in order to provide reliable communications for the smallest, lowest power consumption devices.

ZigBee 3.0 is currently in the testing phase. Kroger (Kroger Co.), Legrand (Legrand), NXP (NXP), Philips, Schneider (Schneider Electric), Silicon Labs (core laboratory), TI (Texas Instruments), deliduofu (Wincor Nixdorf) and V-Mark (fashion marks) and many Union members have been actively involved in the development and testing work.

ZigBee technology's biggest weakness is that it has no direct connection to the Internet must be converted through a gateway. This is the ZigBee technology in the consumer goods field has struggled to be an important reason for popularity. As of ZigBee technology more in industry, energy, agriculture for wireless communications systems, as well as in luxury villas in the application of the intelligent home system.

Can be seen from these features, ZigBee technology is suitable as a smart home system-level applications, especially intelligent security systems and intelligent lighting system. This is millet launched the smart home kits using ZigBee technology reasons. ZigBee, gateway must be configured for it to connect to the Internet, so when the rice in order to configure Intelligent Home system, will need to pay extra. OtterBox iPhone 4 Case

Millet is the new smart home kits are nothing new in the market, both at home and abroad already have such products. But have not been able to form a market impact, only luxury villas and has applications in intelligent buildings. User group is too small, mainly due to high prices and gateway settings for trouble. As the pursuit of the Internet flat and representative of the spirit of decentralization, Google launched the thread of the agreement certainly represents the ultimate direction of smart home, but how change remains to be seen.

Understands the fans and the economic way of thinking of the Internet team of millet, do this really successfully break through? This reminds us of 2014 millet launched the intelligent router program's goal is to become the entrance to the smart home, enough preparation for sales of 5 million, but has so far failed to break 1 million. Millet can capitalize on their brand and price advantage of successful breakthrough, is also dug a pit for yourself, let us wait and see.

Based on Microsoft's years of accumulated technology and development, the HoloLens did for real-world scenarios and natural gesture tracking, understanding and modeling, and real-time rendering of virtual worlds and overlay (at least). Once this step is achieved, is to subvert his Phone's core competencies.
