with the continuous development of technology, smart home gradually maturing, many problems will be solved in 2015: High prices began to lower, wireless communication standards can be interlinked, user experience is improved, control mode more flexible .... However, in the process of solving these problems slowly, the following three problems are not easy to solve, but will accompany the smart home increasingly mature and increasingly prominent.
Security Issues Highlight
with the exposure of various security issues, it is no secret that there is a security risk in smart home. "Belkin's child monitors have been hacked into a bug," The attacker could bypass WeMo's password and encryption key checks, and sign malicious firmware disguised in Belkin's products "," a group of hackers at the Black Hat security conference, in front of hundreds of people, demonstrating how to break nest "," Xiaomi camera Application Manager has a remote command execution vulnerability, which can be described by the Web interface to execute arbitrary system commands with root privileges.
in fact, the security of smart home has always existed. Just when the entire smart home is not too much attention, security issues can almost be ignored, and when the smart home becomes the focus of attention, the slightest problem may be magnified, the original potential security problems will slowly surfaced. Therefore, in the next time in 2015, smart home will undoubtedly be more concerned about, of course, security issues will continue to be magnified, more prominent.
increased homogeneity of products
last June, in the United States, Google's well-known smart home start-up company Nest for $555 million to buy a webcam Dropcam, the result of fire Dropcam and caused a stir. However, soon after, in China, the smart home industry has emerged a lot of Dropcam "China partner", Lenovo House treasure, Baidu I eyes and ears, 360 cameras, millet Smart camera, such as "in the gun." However, they not only have a strikingly similar appearance to the Dropcam, but also have a very similar function, emphasizing that "if there is a similarity, purely coincidental" is not justified.
In fact, not just the smart camera, in the whole field of smart home, "imitation show" of the Big Curtain has been opened, more and more products in the appearance and function of the loss of self, loss of individuality, reduced to "shanzhai goods." In addition, do not expect the homogeneity of the problem will disappear with the smart home mature, on the contrary, the more mature smart home enterprises or products, "followers" and followers may be more rampant, homogeneity of the problem is more serious.
Increased chicken function
In General, smart home refers to the control of the host, equipment nodes and communication technology, including a complete set of systems, can do to the room lighting, temperature, humidity intelligent control, as well as security protection, home theater system automation, intelligent operation, for users to create more safe, healthy, efficient, A convenient living environment. However, the smart home is not always a satisfactory, immature time so, mature after the same is possible.
Many people think that the more intelligent home function, the best one product can do 10 pieces of products, so many businesses are beginning to do "add", will be a product "bigger and stronger", so we slowly see the internet can be air-conditioning, can sing the refrigerator, You can have a remote washing machine and a feeding device that can feed your pet, and so on. However, for consumers, these seemingly useful functions are in fact a chicken, basically useless, and for many businesses, but is the weight of product value-added, "rather than lack of".
