We can see that it relates to the smart mobile phone hardware products, due to the presence, the future cannot be DIY and using the software community capacity of manufacturers, will face more and more development bottleneck.
Now some manufacturers like own R & D and the use of an internal closure standard, but its development capacity can not meet the future demand, also cannot produce the hardware.Therefore do not open interface standard, practice, perhaps more in line with the trend of the times.
To summarize the Hue to bring about some changes, the traditional home appliances and electronic products, is not only around the appearance and design competition, a large number of products can quickly become Connected networking equipment. A networking device, not only means that you will be able to complete a simple remote control in the led electronics, they will know the time and weather, know your social account and schedule, know your preferences, they can also help with your other networked devices ( such as Hue and infrared sensor cooperation serves as a warning device ).
Sensor and communication, the cloud background for further development, will greatly reduce the device manufacturing and communication cost, so that only need to spend the extra few dollars or even more than ten dollars, you can change all appliances.
Starting from Hue, I think, the most important should be Control4, this traditional meaning of ” intelligent home furnishing manufacturer “.
Why? Because we may enter the ordinary family intelligent control products, price cut directly on the back of one or two zero, so that ordinary consumers from the original dare to buy, which is intelligent mobile phone popularity to the traditional home appliances industry.
In fact, through similar LED Panel Light control system in led electronics, Nest, Wemo socket system, sound system SONOS and so on, everyone can use the smart mobile phone DIY 90% traditional intelligent home furnishing function, not only can be removed from the new decoration suffering (all wireless system ), but the money spent on just the traditional meaning of intelligent home furnishing .Then, the future smart home furnishing where to go? Venture to do forecast:
1, plug-and-play: no configuration, can be used directly to plug in the power;
2, a comprehensive mobile phone manipulation: do not use this friendly platform for interaction, too wasteful;
3, gateway lightweight: because the mobile phone computing power, gateway is not essential, if there must be, it must be very lightweight bargain;
4, expanding and upgrading ability: sales is only functional platform delivery, function but also with the use of the product upgrade;
5, open and fun: maybe next time you open App, found that the contribution of new function, put your dream of things to achieve;
6, Kickstarter models: leading personalized hardware product ideas, to giant products integrated scheme constitute the supplementary and challenge;
7, low-cost market strategy: rapid price and market offensive strategy, resulting in a large number of star products.
