智能家電中的微控制器和無線連接

　　無線連接使智能設(shè)備能夠在家里和因特網(wǎng)上與其他設(shè)備進(jìn)行通信。選擇正確的無線協(xié)議，你將有一個(gè)良好的開端。

　　在廚房或浴室角落里閑置的單調(diào)乏味的家用電器的日子已經(jīng)一去不復(fù)返了。今天的家電都是圓滑的，這是創(chuàng)新性和形式的最現(xiàn)代的家庭的主要功能設(shè)計(jì)。近年來，家電設(shè)計(jì)的一個(gè)重要發(fā)展趨勢(shì)是智能家電。這些設(shè)備具有領(lǐng)先的技術(shù)，包括在家中和網(wǎng)絡(luò)上與其他設(shè)備進(jìn)行無線通信的能力。

　　智能設(shè)備制造商看到巨大的經(jīng)濟(jì)機(jī)會(huì)，不僅直接與領(lǐng)域的設(shè)備交流，而且與這些設(shè)備的用戶進(jìn)行交流。遠(yuǎn)程診斷和固件升級(jí)等服務(wù)可以使用戶更加無縫。消費(fèi)者也能獲得經(jīng)濟(jì)上，通過去除重裝家園通過無線連接的成本和障礙。

　　In today’s marketplace， green applications for smart appliances have begun to emerge that are centered around energy usage and monitoring. Services such as Google PowerMeter have enabled consumers to gain instant access to their energy usage data. In turn， having this information has provided consumers with the impetus to undertake measures such as signing up for cost-saving energy usage plans that are offered by their utility companies. Utility companies are rapidly deploying wireless-enabled smart meters that connect to Home Area Networks （HANs）， which allow them to provide load-control features to the smart appliances. The benefits are that the utility companies can better regulate their energy demands， collect valuable real-time usage data， and offer more suitable tiers of services to their customers. Using all this information， utility companies can more precisely predict and plan their future infrastructure expansion.

　　Manufacturers are able to bring wirelessly enabled smart appliances quickly to the marketplace by integrating two key building blocks into their products — wireless technology and advanced microcontrollers.
