There are a lot of discussions about the Internet of Things and a lot of experiments, but so far there is no "killer application" that has caused demand to soar, prices have dropped, and a series of applications have been spawned. But there are signs that, although it may seem strange, connected lighting may be such an application...
There is a saying that by 2020, the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to cover 2 to 5 billion devices. People believe that the Internet of Things will be everywhere, affecting almost every aspect of modern life. So far, the Internet of Things application is very interesting, but it has not been predicted by professionals, and it has exploded in the market. There are currently not enough use cases with obvious economic benefits to start the IoT self-reinforcing market growth.
The industry has made progress in reducing the cost of linking, but progress is not fast enough for the growing demand and the corresponding decline in mass production prices to drive the actual market take-off. It is expected that tens of billions of devices will serve such a wide range of applications, so that a single-handed solution cannot achieve the amount needed to achieve significant production cost efficiency. What is needed now is a single application that itself can generate the needs of billions of devices.
Let's look at the network lighting.
Artificial lighting has been used for thousands of years; electrical lighting began in 1880. Today, every continent, every country on the planet, almost every city, town and village has some form of electrical lighting, but traditional incandescent lamps consume a lot of electricity, and energy costs are gradually rising, prompting the industry and the government to seek low-power Consumption of alternatives. The compact fluorescent bulb (CFL) is the first result, but it turns out that LED is the logical successor.
But Daniel Cooley, senior vice president and general manager of Silicon Labs IoT products, pointed out in an interview that the growing success of LED lighting technology is paving the way for connected lighting. The key is that LED manufacturers have to learn how to integrate electronic components in the bulb and how to reduce costs. “Once that's it,†Cooley said, “adding more chips makes it easier to create a smart, cost-effective, yet illuminating electronics.â€
Will connected lighting be an IoT killer app?
Cooley added that adding the IoT link technology to the lighting business model has a positive return on investment. The government's mandate to reduce energy consumption is a factor, and if you can control the bulb itself, it will be easier to meet the standards. If the light itself can be turned off when no one is in the room (or even the hallway), or can be remotely controlled through the mobile app, it can significantly reduce energy consumption.
Networked lighting eliminates the need to connect the light switch directly to the luminaire. This not only reduces most of the required wiring, but also simplifies building electrical design while providing installation flexibility for fixtures and switches.
But low cost is not the only potential benefit of connected lighting. Lamp suppliers can integrate Bluetooth beacons and the like into the light bulb, providing a quick and easy way for retailers to simply set up location services by replacing the light bulbs. The color and brightness of the connected lighting can be set, allowing retailers such as homeowners and car dealers and restaurants to control their environment.
