Consumers face unacceptable performance as nodes are increased and network bandwidth is consumed in physically constraining environments. Various network types and use cases, thus, are explored to determine current failure points in common IoT home smart devices. 2. Introduction At the time of this report, there has been an unprecedented uptake in the use of ‘smart’ devices in the home. The introduction of voice recognition platforms such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa has fueled the use of small, inexpensive, connected sensing and control devices. Controls for Heating and Air Conditioning have been popular, as well as various sensors for doors, windows, etc.. Perhaps the most pervasive has been the acceptance of these types of systems for lighting control. Due to the sheer number of nodes available in a home, lighting nodes to be controlled is very large. This research will focus on various types of network technologies with the goal of physically simulating small to large sets of devices to determine acceptable response time.

  • Required Submission Information for Each Award
    I. Market Overview The network system protocols market closely follows the trends in home and building automation markets. Home and building controls can effectively be performed through wireless and powerline platforms. In addition, several manufacturers produce systems based on proprietary protocols. Any changes in the home or building automations markets have a direct impact on the market demand for these platforms. The residential segment forms a major portion of the application for these platforms, driven by a growing awareness about the benefits rendered through home automation. In 2005, revenues for the North American home automation market were estimated at $1,268.9 million and the market is expected to witness steady growth in the future. As a result of this, the protocols market is also experiencing healthy growth. Another crucial trend in this industry is the developing shift from proprietary platforms to open ones, which offers interoperability and more flexibility to end- users. The industry is also witnessed an increasing interest in wireless solutions, which in turn has driven the markets for radio frequency (RF) platforms. Although wireless solutions have been able to make some headway in the home automation market, some critics remain unconvinced of their effectiveness in terms of reliability. On the other hand, powerline communication offers more reliability and an extended reach. Hence, there is a need for simple and affordable protocol that can offer the benefits of both RF and powerline platforms. Moreover, the use of this open platform is likely to enable end-users to choose from a range of products, which is not feasible when using native or proprietary platforms.

ISBN: 978-981-07-6184-4 doi:10.3850/ 978-981-07-6184-4_60 A Comparative Study of Wireless Technologies: Zigbee, Bluetooth LE, Enocean, Wavenis, Insteon and UWB *Ms. Harneet kaur, #Ms. Sukesha Sharma Abstract-The major design challenge of home automation is to powered and battery less with low power radio frequency choose best standard for controlling devices in existing home (RF). Radio frequency having a biggest advantage over environments without any changes in infrastructure. In recent infrared (IR) that new devices can easily be added or removed years Zigbee was the promising technology for home from the network. Individual devices forming a network and automation. But, nowadays there are some other standards all are working together in harmony. After forming a network which give their best for controlling home devices. This paper presents an overview of different wireless communication there are certain events that takes place like manual events, standards by comparing their main features in terms of various timed events and triggered events. All devices are connected metrics such as range, frequency band, maximum node count, to common network and controlled by a central regulation security, and cost. and control unit. There are three types of controls systems such as: -Individually control system: Only one appliance or function Keywords: Wireless technologies, Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, is controlled in these systems. For example a remote control Enocean, Insteon, Wavenis, UWB. unit. -Distributed control systems: Controller elements are not in Introduction central location in these systems, they are distributed In today’s life because of huge amount of standards available throughout the network and controlled by one or more in the market choosing the best one is the biggest challenge.

  • Lighting Control White Paper
    Lighting Control White Paper A Brief Technology Overview of the Lighting Control Marketplace X-10, Insteon, Z-Wave, ZigBee, RadioRA2, Universal Powerline Bus (UPB) Fuchsia Research Corporation August 2014 Introduction When considering lighting control and home automation, there are many options in the marketplace, to include selection of a supplier, technology, company’s breadth of product line, ease of use, ease of installation, and service and support. Doing a Google search for ‘home automation’ or ‘lighting control’ can many times lead to confusion, resulting in head scratching ‘chaos’, given the information provided blogs, trade publications, hobbyists, and DIYers, many times provides incomplete and sometimes incorrect information. If you have a multi-million dollar primary or vacation home, working with a high-end/cost architect, have a $50,000-$100,000+ budget for home automation and/or lighting control, this White Paper is probably not for you. This White Paper is for the rest of us, objective, to provide a general overview of the market, technologies, and assist in your selection of a home automation lighting control solution to best meet your needs – and budget. X-10 X-10 was developed in 1975 by Pico Electronics of Glenrothes, Scotland. It uses primarily power line wiring for signaling and control, the signals involve radio frequency bursts representing digital information. X-10 has led the way using powerline communication over the past 40 years and could easily be considered the father of home automation. Some thoughts considering X-10. Select X-10 if you have a very limited budget, no more than $10-$15 per device.
