Smart Home

All kinds of different devices communicate in a smart home and provide additional domestic comfort, safety and flexibility. The applications range from intelligent heating controls and surveillance cameras capable of remote control via the Internet to smart lighting technology. The different smart home devices and their versatile areas of application pose numerous challenges for manufacturers, which have to be taken into account at the production design development stage.

"Smart home" is a generic term for technologies and devices that automate processes in apartments or houses. The different devices and components communicate via cable-based or wireless network technology and exchange information. Central controls can be used to operate the devices or configure automatic processes. Applications can often be directly controlled via the home network and Internet with a smartphone app, voice assistant or smart speaker. The automation of processes relieves the residents of many tasks. Intelligent heating and ventilation technology, lighting technology, entertainment electronics, surveillance and security technology, automated Venetian blinds and roller blinds or large and small household appliances are typical fields of application in the smart home.

The smart home market is growing rapidly across the entire world. The technical progress in computer and network technology is constantly creating new application possibilities and devices for the smart home. According to a study by Research on Global Markets, the smart home market should grow by almost 25 percent globally by 2023.

In general, almost all devices and systems used in a household can be integrated into the processes of a smart home. As far as household technology is concerned, these are heating systems, smoke and fire alarms, presence detectors, smart sockets, lighting, ventilation systems or Venetian blind and roller blind controls. Window and door security systems, surveillance cameras and locking or alarm systems form part of the equipment of a smart home in the field of security and surveillance technology. Entertainment electronics also offer a multitude of different devices, like multi-room audio systems, smart speakers or smart TVs. Household appliances both large and small, such as washing machines, fridges, coffee machines, robotic vacuum cleaners and much more can likewise be integrated into the smart home.

Every smart home device consists of different components. Typically, they often include batteries, FPCs, PCBs, sensors, antennas and other communication technologies, touch keys and displays.
