Sensors in smart homes

What is a smart home?

Smart home is a living environment, is a residence as a platform for the installation of smart home systems, the implementation of smart home systems is called the process of smart home integration.

Smart home integration is the use of integrated wiring technology, network communication technology, security technology, automatic control technology, and audio and video technology will be the integration of equipment related to home life. Due to the different technical standards and protocols used in smart homes, most smart home systems use integrated wiring, but a few systems may not use integrated wiring technology, such as power carrier, in either case, there must be a corresponding network communication technology to complete the required signal transmission tasks, so network communication technology is one of the key technologies in smart home integration. Safety prevention technology is an essential technology in smart home systems, which is widely used in the fields of community and indoor visual intercom, home monitoring, home burglar alarms, and home-related community one-cards. Automatic control technology is an indispensable technology in the intelligent home system, widely used in the intelligent home control center, and home equipment automatic control module, for the scientific management of home energy, home equipment schedule management has a very important role. Audio and video technology is an important technology to realize the comfort and artistry of the home environment, which is reflected in the centralized distribution of audio and video, background music, home theater, and so on.

Sensors in smart homes

Sensors in smart homes are very diverse, here is a list of some common IoT sensors:

Temperature sensor: used to detect the indoor temperature, which can realize smart temperature control and energy saving control.

Humidity Sensor: Used to detect indoor humidity, which can realize smart humidity control and moisture-proof function.

Light Sensors: Used to detect indoor light intensity, which can realize intelligent lighting control and energy-saving control.

Air Quality Sensors: used to detect indoor air quality, can monitor PM2.5, CO2, and other indicators, to achieve intelligent air purification and health reminders.

Human Sensors: Used to detect indoor human activities, which can realize intelligent security and energy-saving control.

Smoke Sensor: Used to detect indoor smoke concentration, which can realize intelligent fire alarms and security protection.

Door and Window Sensor: Used to detect the opening and closing status of doors and windows, which can realize intelligent security and anti-theft functions.

Flood Sensor: Used to detect indoor flooding, which can realize intelligent water leakage alarms and waterproof control.

Touch Sensor: Used to detect touch operation, which can realize intelligent switch and control.

Sound Sensor: Used to detect indoor sound intensity, which can realize intelligent sound control and environment perception.

Infrared Sensor: Used to detect human infrared radiation, which can realize intelligent human body detection and security functions.

Smart socket: can be connected via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to realize intelligent remote control and timer switching for electrical devices inserted in it.

The above are some common IoT sensors, there are other types of sensors in the field of smart homes, and according to the specific needs and functions, you can choose different sensors to realize intelligent control and management.
