Mesh Networking， the Critical Open Sesame for Smart Lighting Success

　　家庭和小建筑物的業主接受智能技術的好處，如自動光激活和調光，提供更好的舒適性和便利性以及公用事業法案。家庭自動化市場預計將超過160億美元，由2019。易以最小的中斷或昂貴的重裝升級，非常可行的一種DIY項目或使用本地安裝程序，不需要專家或智能建筑知識，將廣泛采用的關鍵。標準機構已經認識到簡化過程，如建立網絡和增加新設備的重要性，并引入標準，盡量減少調試和維護所需的技術知識

　　ZigBee?聯盟為例，介紹了ZigBee光鏈路（ZLL）剖面提供了一個標準的關注更入門級智能照明的機遇和比其他公司如ZigBee家庭自動化更容易安裝和使用（閘）。所有的執行協調員不調試簡化初始網絡設置和添加額外的節點。常見的照明設備和控制器的支持，如可調光燈，彩色燈，顏色或場景控制器，而擴展到ZigBee集群庫支持行動，如建立場景和控制顏色。在一個可信的協調裝置的情況下，通過交換網絡關鍵節點保持與所有的主密鑰加密的安全。

　　Like the Home Automation profile， ZLL runs on top of the ZigBee PRO wireless network protocol， which has important strengths for home automation and smart lighting. These include low power consumption， as well as support for peer-to-peer mesh connectivity that enables robust fault-tolerant wireless communication throughout networks that extend over large distances.

　　While low power consumption and the robustness and extended range inherent in mesh networking deliver obvious advantages for smart lighting in homes or offices， another feature that is increasingly expected is the ability to adjust settings using a mobile phone either from within the premises or from a remote location via the Internet. This is not only convenient for users， who tend to carry a smartphone easily to hand， but can also save product vendors the additional overhead of having to build and ship a dedicated controller.
