Smart home networks continue to improve with the implementation of integration technology, communication technology, interoperability, and wiring standards. It involves the operation, management and integration technology application of all smart furniture, equipment and systems in the home network. Its technical characteristics are as follows:
　　1. Establish a smart home platform system through the home gateway and its system software
　　The home gateway is the core part of the smart home LAN. It mainly completes the conversion and information sharing between various communication protocols in the home network, as well as the data exchange function with the external communication network. At the same time, the gateway is also responsible for the management and management of home smart devices. control.
　　2. Unified platform
　　Using computer technology, microelectronic technology, and communication technology, home smart terminals integrate all the functions of home intelligence, so that smart homes are built on a unified platform. First of all, to realize the data interaction between the family's internal network and the external network; secondly, it is necessary to ensure that the instructions transmitted through the network are legal instructions, rather than "hackers" illegal intrusion. Therefore, the home smart terminal is not only the transportation hub of family information, but also the "guardian" of the informationized family.
　　3. Realize the interconnection with home appliances through external expansion modules
　　In order to realize the functions of centralized control and remote control of household appliances, the smart home gateway controls the household appliances or lighting equipment by means of wired or wireless, according to a specific communication protocol, with the help of external expansion modules.
　　4. Embedded system application
　　In the past, the vast majority of home smart terminals were controlled by single-chip microcomputers. With the increase of new functions and the improvement of performance, the embedded operating system with network function and the control software program of the single-chip microcomputer with greatly enhanced processing capacity have been adjusted accordingly to organically combine them into a complete embedded system.
