With the continuous development of technologies such as the Internet of Things, China's smart home development process has accelerated, and the market has gradually transformed itself from a single smart home entrepreneur to the three forces of smart home entrepreneurs, Internet companies, and home appliance makers, forming a dynamism. However, whether it is a smart home appliance company such as IOT Sensing, or an Internet company such as Baidu and Xiaomi, or an appliance giant such as Haier, Midea, Gree, etc., they are all involved in the process of getting involved in and developing smart homes. Open two modes: zeroing for integers and zeros.

Mode one: Turn zero into a whole

Zero is the main mode for Internet companies and home appliance companies to get involved in the smart home industry. Internet companies and home appliance makers have a common lack of smart entities, so the first step they have to make is to develop corresponding smart hardware, but there are minor differences between the main hardware. The advantage of Internet companies lies in the network, which is the basis of the IoT smart home. Therefore, the perspectives they choose to enter into smart homes are mostly network-related smart hardware devices. For example, Internet companies such as Baidu, Thunder, Xiaomi, and Shanda all use smart routing as a “tribune” for entering the smart home market: Baidu has “small” routings, Xiaomi has smart wireless routing “MINIWIFI”, and 360 also has smart security routing. Shanda uses Husk routing to move with everyone.

Different from the Internet company's smart network equipment, home appliance business in the smart home market can be described as a necessary "turn." The intelligent development has caused traditional home appliance merchants to make a transition to smart home appliance merchants. However, they are relatively easy to use compared to the internet companies. They mainly add intelligent functions to the original products, and do not need to “rise flats”. From domestic Haier, Midea, to foreign Siemens, Samsung, LG, smart appliances have gradually become their flagship product. At the 2014 China Household Appliances Expo (AWE 2014) held in Shanghai in March, what was most noticeable was smart home products such as smart TVs, smart refrigerators and smart washing machines.

It is not difficult to find that starting from scattered smart home items is the main common point for Internet companies and home appliance manufacturers to develop smart homes. Internet companies mainly focus on smart routing, smart shadow sticks, smart TV boxes and other products, and appliance companies are only independent smart TVs, smart refrigerators, smart washing machines and other home appliances, these products do not form a system, but the independent operation, Can not be interconnected. However, with the inconvenience of the operation of scattered smart home products, they are gradually shifting from single products to integration. For example, Haier, Samsung, etc. have begun to focus on the creation of a smart home system platform, all with the goal of achieving interconnection and mutual control among various household products.

Mode 2: Divide to zero

Divide to zero is the reverse operation of zeroing, and it is also the second stage of the operation of zero-turning. The development of smart home control system enterprises is mainly applicable to this mode. Compared with Internet companies and home appliance companies, the biggest advantage of these companies is that they do not start from the "big" products such as smart lighting and smart laundry, but focus on the smart home control system from the very beginning, through the application of control systems. Users use smart phones or other terminals to manage various home devices so as to enjoy the security, comfort, efficiency, and health that smart homes bring.

From this point of view, IOT Sensing starts from the "entire" on the road of smart home development. According to the relevant person in charge of IOT Sensing, as a smart home company, IOT Sensing’s main products are smart gateways, smart switches, smart sockets, smart lighting, smart security, smart health, smart watering, etc. A complete system formed by the product, and other devices in the home use the system to achieve remote, linkage, timing and other ways of control.

Since smart home control system main products are gateways, sensors, and controllers, intelligent home control systems are not perfect. Compared with some smart home products, it is more abstract and not as smart as smart home appliances such as smart TVs. In addition, in the process of smart home from the single product to the system, the smart home system must also highlight local products and form its own characteristics. Therefore, on the basis of the overall system, the integration into zero, highlighting one of the products or features, is the path that the smart home control system has to go through during the development of the manufacturer.
