Major manufacturers continue to make breakthroughs and expand the smart home field

More and more manufacturers are also joining in and expanding their smart home portfolios. For example, Samsung SmartThings, Amazon Echo, Google Home and Apple HomeKit   . We continue to develop home automation systems to meet different application areas within the home, such as energy saving, water saving and safety, so as to penetrate the European market.

As we all know, convenience is the primary factor that makes smart homes popular. Smart homes such as electric curtains, sensors, home appliance controllers, mobile smart sockets, TVs, air conditioners, and sweepers can meet people's needs in different scenarios, connect life with technology, simplify things, and give people conveniences that traditional homes cannot provide.

Home is a safe haven. Another important reason why more and more people choose smart homes is security performance. In addition to the performance of light sensing and automatic curtain opening and closing, smart homes can also perform relatively complex tasks such as real-time streaming monitoring, intrusion warnings and rapid updates. People's emphasis on security has also made it increasingly popular in the home market.

Smart homes have, to a certain extent, realized the need for interconnection between people, objects and the Internet, and their future development space is unlimited.
