A construction revolution underway. But faced with the rise of the intelligent home, in the end who “pay”? Who must be prepared to “react” mean?
See TV Asleep, TV will automatically turn off; middle of the night on the toilet, do not worry even the dark lights; about to return to their homes ahead of air through the phone open, and automatically adjust to the preset temperature. Unlike traditional construction, “Smart Home” stresses the use of a variety of information and communication (ICT) sensor Technology For housing have their own nerves, ears, or even take the initiative to determine, in response to human needs, and then, through automation, reducing human action, and to meet people Security, Health, comfort, convenience and energy saving needs. However, most developers and housing may be asking, how much to pay the price? Some people really need it? Better able to sell you a house?
Smart Home is an inevitable trendMay present for many developers, both smart home seems a distant and expensive “dream.” However, in the housing marketing point of view, when the prime location, luxurious decor, a full range of public facilities, tight security, have been increasingly unable to significantly stimulate consumer demand, the line “technology always comes from human nature” of the intelligent home, perhaps is a worthy case to create added value built a new choice. In fact, including the Far Glory Building, the World and development, productivity and construction industry, both as main high-speed Internet, integrated services, intelligent home, not only becomes a topic also related to the effect of attracting consumers to buy, even if the unit price per ping more high, is still selling.
Smart home technology mature enough right?However, although some developers find the value of intelligent home, but still subject to some technical problems affecting the investment confidence.
Integration not get it working? Integration is the most commonly heard question. Here the so-called “integration”, including “equipment integration between the communication interface” and “the integration of pipeline systems” and other two levels. Architects Qiu Yong standard that when ICT ICT equipment to be connected into the smart home’s weak lines, if the system interface can not be connected, it will create integration problems, leading to a complete intelligent system function or operation is not effective. In addition, the consortium executive director of the building construction inscriptions Xu said that as the cooperative attitude between the various manufacturers are not enough positive results of their own way, willing to provide Communicate Control agreements to SI integrated firms, little did I also limit the development of smart home. Schneider Electric Terminal Control Division, Deputy General Manager of the left Siu Yan also said the new building have generally been present from the fixed network operators deploy fiber-optic network to all buildings by the letter E, then CAT5 or CAT6 network cable distribution to all households. If you build wisdom Control Equipment No way to take this communication interface and network connection, you lose residential intelligent “integrated control” meaning.
In addition, Qiu Yong standard that is currently in the build of new residential Monitor, Fire and communication systems, because most of the contractors responsible for different, often a different build time, the pipeline route fragmentation of the situation is usually the final approach for the construction of intelligent systems makers, faced with complex pipelines, often increase the difficulty of construction, but also prone to signal interference, the future Chaxiu will take great trouble.
Device does not considerate? Zhangfang Min, general manager of productivity development, said that when ICT Product When to intervene in family life, with friendly and attractive design interface, it becomes very important. However, the number of intelligent home control product manufacturers, it seems not really useful from the surface to think about life, nature is difficult to narrow the distance with the user. In addition, the technology city has hidden chang, general manager, also said the current intelligence services to home systems integrators sophistication, in fact, are generally not satisfactory, most of the practice, or allow customers to pull on the device, rather than fully understand the user’s habits and demand, “tailored” to really meet the customers equipment. Also the industry that many construction companies build smart home equipment early, the lack of good planning, nor prudent to find a suitable, professional construction firms, the results over the years, many devices because of maneuver or back-end logistics services poor households to be shelved, useless.
Price of hard driven forces? Wisdom about many developers for the construction of the first impression is “expensive”! Friends of the electric company, general manager of Xinjian Yue said that at present the greatest challenge to promote the intelligent home, in fact, buyers and users is different. He pointed out that the developers build smart home devices, many are just focused marketing effectiveness, not really interested in promoting the smart home, they are able to penny saved, if there is no obvious underlying consumer demand for support, the build state of mind on, naturally not the same as the user.
Service thankless? In addition, the follow-up to the responsibility of maintenance and operation, but also afraid to put some of the key developers of late, because the slightest mistake could “throw good money off soldiers.” Some developers noted that the use of smart home devices over time, inevitably fails, but then who is responsible for maintenance, you become a big problem. Since this is the responsibility of developers, or the responsibility of equipment suppliers is sometimes difficult to clarify, with follow-up maintenance costs difficult to estimate, there are companies around the service contract negotiations and billing services, and other issues, many developers to the trouble, or worried about input costs are too high, the result would rather keep their distance.
Improvements – Equipment Modular Order to improve the integration and installation, wiring problem, Schneider Electric Terminal Control Division project manager Huang? Blair said some of the industry is already in the home equipment products related to the wisdom of modular, such as introduction of the RF (RadioFreqency) RF controller module, simply replace the original power switch behind the switch with this module, you can through the built-in transmitter, RF receiver, the direct control of home appliances, no longer need to pull another line of control. Thus, in addition to the new building to replace equipment more convenient with the wisdom of old buildings to enjoy life, no longer deploy to pipeline problems suffered. Xu inscriptions also added, according to statistics, a smart home system, just the integration of space and decoration costs, may be as high as five percent, other 3 percent is the information flow of the integration costs, and follow-up software and hardware procurement costs actually only 2 percent of the cost. Therefore, to make room for the building design and cabling, with expansion
