Nowadays there are more than ten communication standards, which are used when building smart homes: Ethernet, 1-Wire, X10, KNX, M-Bus, Mod-Bus, Insteon, Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, BLE, ZigBee, Matter. We are only going to talk in detail about the wireless ones, i.e. Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, BLE, ZigBее, and Matter, since it is mainly these systems that we use in our projects. The detailed information about them is provided below.

WIRELESS COMMUNICATION STANDARDS

WI-FI

The wireless protocol is used in almost every single home automated system. The main range of application: smart home control, using a mobile device. Wi-Fi may also be used for establishing connection with the smart home centre, a special wireless hub, which connects all of the devices of a smart home between each other and this whole system with the Internet. Its main advantages are complete compatibility of all such devices and a high speed of data transfer.

ZIGBEE

This wireless protocol has a very low energy consumption, unlike Wi-Fi. However, it doesn't provide 100% compatibility. Its main advantage is the feasibility of creating the mesh-type network, which is capable of self-organisation and self-reset. It allows to create smart home networks that cover more devices and have a larger surface area as well as higher consistency of operation. As a rule, ZigBee devices that get power from the mains, not from batteries, retransmit the ZigBee signal, thus expanding the coverage of the ZigBee network.

BLE

The Bluetooth standard with low energy consumption. It is used for transmitting data between two devices that are located close to each other. It is widely used in home automation as an additional protocol. The standard is well protected from unauthorised access. A special BLE hub is used to add Bluetooth devices into the smart home system.

Z-WAVE

The wireless protocol that is in many ways similar to ZigBee. It is characterised by low energy consumption and can form the mesh-type network. The main advantage of Z-Wave is standardisation. All devices using this protocol are based on Sigma Designs modules, which is why they are compatible with each other, but are still more expensive in comparison with similar ZigBee devices, and their range is considerably smaller.

MATTER

This connection standard for a smart home system on the basis of Wi-Fi has an open source code, which allows to connect different ecosystems into an integrated network, and which might take the image of a smart home to a completely different level, due to the safe and reliable seamless connection. Matter was developed in order to unify the control of gadgets by different manufacturers.

Unified wireless system

While designing a smart home, we use all of the wireless communication protocols listed above, uniting them into one common and stable system, which allows us to make use of all possible advantages and get rid of disadvantages of each individual protocol. The system is structured in a way that makes sure that all of its main components would carry on functioning even when there is no external Internet connection, so that you could continue using lighting and electric devices, and also to ensure protection from water or gas leakage in case of communication failure, too.

Smart home

It is not a random set of smart devices, but a skilful automation of processes and properly set scenarios, which will make your life at your home more comfortable and simple!

  • Convenience

  • Comfort

  • Safety

    • Smart locks, door and window opening sensors, motion and vibration sensors, presence sensors

    • The entire control system in one single programme in your phone, voice control as well, if you wish

    • Smart lamps and lighting fixtures, smart background lighting, lighting intensity sensors

    • Low energy consumption of wireless sensors, the service life of a battery is 1-2 years on the average or even more

    • Ventilation and humidity control, wireless humidity sensors

    • House temperature control, we will connect your air conditioning system to the smart home system, too, wireless temperature sensors
