A&S SMAHOME #11 Nov./Dec. 2015 by Messe Frankfurt New Era Business Media Ltd. Taiwan Branch

EDITOR’S NOTE

MOVING TO A NEW GOOD YEAR Earlier in November, we have moved our Taipei office to a new location. Although we attached many sentimental values to our old, crammed office, the brand new office complex promises a new beginning and many new developments – especially at this year-end timing. Whether or not 2015 has been a fruitful year, IoT in the home – the connected home or smart home – is no longer filled with vague opportunity, as thousands of smart home devices have been launched. I received the latest survey report of Deutsche Telekom. Holger Knopke, vice president of Connected Home at Deutsche Telekom mentioned that: “to ensure we really start to experience growth, the industry needs to put aside its differences and start to collaborate.” To forge a win-win partnership, along with this November issue, we published the world’s first “2016/17 Smart Home Sourcing Guide” by compiling more than 200 smart home manufacturers’ info and their business status. Please refer to sourcing guide contents on Page 28 and 35. For the 2015 year-end issue, we previewed crucial smart home techs to watch for in 2016 and have shared several enthusiasts’ perspectives on upcoming developments. What I like the most is Insteon’s comment that demystifying IoT for consumers will build confidence amongst customers. For details, turn to the Exploration Section. CES 2016 is merely few weeks away. Without a doubt, major players are expected to demonstrate their next “big things” there. In this issue, we are shedding some lights on Asian makers’ new launches at the show. Do not miss these gadgets for better home security, control convenience and environments in the Focus Section. Last but not least, we have talked with Eaton, Control 4, Ihiji, ELAN, Clare Control and several other home controller and platform providers about the co-competition scenes between DIY and system-integration products in the ever-changing U.S. home automation market. Check it out in the Report Section.

production all within its facility today. The company and its marvelous products are created by CEO, C.T. Marcus Yang. The founder is a successful entrepreneur and has a profound industrial background in the IT industry. Yang founded his semiconductor IC design company in California and was acquired by Realtek Semiconductor in his early 30s. As CEO at Realtek USA, he helped Realtek introducing world’s first single-chip IEEE 802.11a/b/g chipsets before he returned to Taiwan for another major venture. Yang was President and CEO at MStar Semiconductor USA managing company’s wireless communications product developments. With extensive expertise in wireless chip technologies, he leverages networking and video processing experiences into smart home robotics market in 2012. Gifted with a sharp business mind, the founder has enormous passions and commitment to innovations. “I enjoy innovation and reinvention,” Yang said with excitement. Yang has filed or received more than 100 patents himself worldwide, ranging from wireless circuit design, filter design, semiconductor physics, communications architectures, PCB layout, cloud storage management, industry design, to robotics auto tracking devices, etc. His patents are ﬁled in Europe, U.S., Taiwan, China, Japan, and Korea. As CEO, he is still producing patents on a regular basis. Yang emphasizes his design philosophy—a successful product must be something that people need it— a necessity. He believes that successful home security products have to offer must-to-have but not nice-to-have

COVER STORY

Amaryllo's FHD robotics cameras feature dynamic auto-tracking and video service.

features. He explains, “We don’t produce other IOT products but only focus on the robotics cameras for smart home because cameras are necessary and must-have items at home. That’s why we enter this market by introducing robotics home security cameras. Our robotics cameras are intelligent and they are programmed to be smarter and smarter over time.”

FIRST AND ONLY Amaryllo’s mission is to become a smart home service provider offering home care and home security services. Company launched world’s first fullycertified Skype home security cameras merely one year after its inception in 2012. Two years later, Amaryllo redefined the home security cameras with world’s first robotics camera called iCamPRO FHD. iCamPRO is a fullHD 1920 x 1080 home security robot featuring patent-pending and patented technologies in 360-degree auto-tracking and face detection. Unlike conventional tracking cameras that require remote computers or server to perform realtime image comparison to follow up movement, Amaryllo employs regular video encoders with its proprietary firmware in embedded systems to achieve auto-tracking without external PCs, greatly reducing the implementation cost. Amaryllo’s embedded auto-tracking device is now registered and recognized

by European Patent Office. “After Skype development, we are aware of the importance of interoperability in the smart home space, so we work with Google to integrate WebRTC protocol into our P2P server. WebRTC is widely employed by one billion devices today, but Amaryllo is the first company to realize in embedded home security products. We strive to lead the market with our security robots by making them smarter by the day. We believe that home security products should be intelligent and they ought to communicate, to detect, and to track moving objects even in darkness and from behind,” said Yang. Amaryllo security robots are now used by various police departments and banks to collect crime evidence and crime-prevention. Amaryllo is one of the first smart-home companies to integrate operation systems with real-time image processing to analyze images to determine object movement. To enable robots to see around then environments, Amaryllo robots are built-in with sensors—one at the front and two on the sides to provide instant awareness to the CPUs to process. Using sensors to provide data allowing CPUs to guide cameras to move to spotted direction is also Amaryllo’s patent-pending technologies. “Amaryllo robots are in a completely different level of design than passive network cameras. Our robots are able to talk, to see intruders and to turn themselves to face where the intruders are from. Soon, they will be able to hear and to communicate with you. That is our goal.” said Yang. To differentiate with traditional surveillance cameras, Amaryllo robots are designed with aesthetic outlook to blend into our families. iCamPRO FHD, for instance, features special masks to hide the IR LEDs, so the IR LEDs are visual only when the environment is dark. Amaryllo’s first-generation camera, iBabi HD, resembles Rubik's Cube, making it easier to fit in your living room. As a matter of fact, all of the Amaryllo’s products have received design patents worldwide.

HIGH SECURITY AND LOW LATENCY Amaryllo believes smooth real-time video transmission and high cyber security protection are essential for network products. Many network cameras and products use standard and common IDs and passwords. If you know one, you know the rest. Amaryllo cameras were fully certiﬁed by Microsoft Plugged-into-Skype and the video latency is tested to be less than 0.5 seconds in Skype laboratory. Amaryllo products are passed Skype stringent certification with end-to-end line distortion less than 3%. The traditional cube-type cameras with fisheye ball lenses generally have an image distortion at 30%. To ensure smooth video transmission, Amaryllo establishes its own advanced dynamic P2P server to connect its devices protected by 256-bit NASA-security level encryption. Amaryllo server monitors each device’s connection activity and automatically adjusts each channel’s video format from 360p, 480p, 720p, to 1080p, every 3 seconds to ensure minimum latency. “There is a lot of hard work done in the background that our users do not know, but they sure enjoy good service that we provide to them”, said Yang. Amaryllo had recently upgraded its FHD models with the latest face detection technologies, once faces are detected, Amaryllo FHD models will dispatch urgent Face Alerts to users anytime, anywhere. Face alert is found useful as it eliminate the possible false alarms seen in popular motion and audio sensors. Face alert is a free service offered by Amaryllo and all alerts are stored in Amaryllo server 3 days at no additional charge to consumers.

THREE CORE VALUES With regards to the home security market, Amaryllo believes that the home cameras are a very competitive market. One of the major challenges in the home camera market is the fierce price competition as consumers have no idea the differences between $99 cameras and $299 cameras. This is pretty the same scenario

as the feature phones in the old days that all of the phone features are more or less the same. To ensure companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survival in the pricing sensitive market, Amaryllo has integrated 3 major core elements in the last 3 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; robotics cameras, dynamic video service and Amaryllo cloud service.

Robotics Cameras Amaryllo is the clear leader in the embedded robotics security with key patent-pending technologies filed in the last few years. Dynamic auto-tracking device patents have been issued by European Patent OfďŹ ce and the inventor is Yang himself. The patents have been filed worldwide including US, China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, etc. Amaryllo continues spending its efforts in this area exploring new applications and technologies. To run WebRTC protocol in 256-bit NASA-security level encryption, Google suggested to Amaryllo to embed quad-core 1.6GHz CPUs, which are very pricy for the market that Amaryllo is in; however, company is likely to employ even higher power CPUs in the near future for the products that it is developing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are producing a series of home security drones, and we are making them to talk to each other to communicate with each other. We are revolutionizing conventional CCTV market with our home security robots and we want to make sure that consumers can clearly see the differencesâ&#x20AC;?, said Yang. When asked about its existing entrylevel network camera product lines, Yang said that company is flexible with its business models. It welcomes all business possibilities.

triggered. In fact, Amaryllo will rewind 3 seconds prior to the event, so you can see what happened before it happened. This is a useful feature allowing consumers to "see" and “hear” what happened which were impossible before this innovation. Each snapvideo could contain as many as 2MB data depending on the video formats that consumers select. If events are triggered every minute, the cloud storage could be as large as 3GB stored in the cloud, so Amaryllo upgrades snapshots to snapvideo if Amaryllo Cloud plans are selected.

Amaryllo Cloud Service

Dynamic Video Service Amaryllo establishes a series of network servers to enhance its backbone services, which include dynamic P2P server, relay server, alert server, etc. Company works closely with WebRTC community to update its video communications technologies. For example, with the latest firmware upgrade, 2 consumers can access Amaryllo’s FHD models at the same time but each person will be optimized to have his own video quality not to be limited by the other. The conventional wisdom is to downgrade the video format to the lowest, say 360p, but with Amaryllo’s new technologies, one could be viewing at 360p because of his slow internet speed, but the other will enjoy FHD at 1080p resolution. This is a new dual-view service unseen before. Amaryllo has introduced face alert and stored faces in Amaryllo Cloud 3 days free. Consumers can opt for the best alerts among face/audio/motion alerts at their own choice. One of its latest innovation offering is SnapVideo. Unlike conventional snapshots that cameras send pictures to consumers, Amaryllo introduces this unique snapvideo alerts with 11-second video to consumers if events are Contact information Netherlands phone number: +31 20 8941387 Taiwan phone number: +886 3 6572711 Email: sales.ai@amaryllo.eu Website: www.amaryllo.eu

SMART HOME TECH TREND

PREVIEW November/December 2015 mySMAhome.com 17

2016 Smart Home Tech Trend Preview:

All-in-One and Multifunctional Design Devices becoming multi-purpose or multifunctional is a significant trend that we have observed in the 2015 industry. A surge in the number of “hybrid” products, ranging from cameras, sensors, hubs to light bulbs and more is seen in every smart home related shows such as IFA, CEDIA, and CES this year.

By Cindy Lin

Studies have shown that potential buyers of smart home devices or systems are most interested in home security and safety. Designing devices to be multifunctional can bring greater value and more business opportunities for home security and safety manufacturers. “The trend of devices becoming multifunctional is self-evident as smart home device manufacturers want to differentiate and add value to their products. It is also beneficial for consumers and therefore the whole industry,” comments Antti Vihavainen, Business Development, Cozify.

MIX AND MATCH: CAMERA, HUB, AND SENSOR Camera is the iconic product in the multifunctional design trend. In addition to the pursuit of aesthetic design, home security camera has become more than just an ‘entry’ product in a connected home. Smart home cameras now incorporate various sensors for security and/or environmental monitoring. Motion, temperature and humidity sensors are most commonly incorporated.

With growing concerns over air quality in general and indoor health, c a m e r a m a k e r s a re adding air quality monitoring capability into cameras, hoping to make these devices even more powerful and attractive for users who wish to monitor air quality at home. “Withings Home” is one example. Besides noise and motion detection, it can also detect levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) indoors with an embedded air quality sensor. Using the app, user can see past and current levels of VOCs, and when the levels go beyond the threshold, the camera will blink red and send a notiﬁcation to the user. The combination of cameras and smart home gateways is also popular. Piper nv is one of the hottest selling smart home items. With features like motion and sound detection, customizable security modes, video

on demand, and support of a growing library of Z-Wave home automation accessories, Piper nv is able to fulfill users’ needs for home security, video monitoring and home automation all at once. For hub makers like Fantem Technologies, integrating more functionality into the smart home hub is the way to go. “If you have a hub with no functionality, then you basically have a router. The entire purpose of the hub is to communicate with the devices, but it’s no good to have it sitting in a cabinet somewhere,” says Brian Hirsh, marketing at Fantem Technologies. “By putting more functionality into a device, you’re going to bring that device into the center of the home, somewhere that it’s going to be able to speak to all the other devices in your home more clearly and have better signals.” Offered by Fantem Technologies, Oomi Cube is the brain of the Oomi smart home system, where the system encompasses a selection of products from touch panels, cameras, plugs, and bulbs to sensors. Oomi Cube has an HD camera with advanced night vision in it as well as a speaker and microphone. Despite a compact form factor, the device manages to include as many as eight sensors—temperature, humidity, noise, glass break, ambient light, UV, vibration, and motion sensors. It also supports Wi-Fi, Z-Wave mesh, Bluetooth and BLE.

For sensors, which are a critical element in the smart home, the integration of different sensing technologies such as motion, door/window, vibration, smoke, CO, temperature, humidity, light, air quality, and more has allowed them to go beyond being used for single applications, such as just for security, or just for environmental monitoring. They can now be used for multiple applications. These multifunctional sensors can be powerful yet compact in size. Offered by Aeon Labs, MultiSensor 6 is a 6-in-1 sensor that is only 42 mm wide at the base. The six sensors included are motion sensor, temperature sensor, light sensor, humidity sensor, vibration sensor, and UV sensor. Besides packing more sensors into one device, these multifunctional sensors may include additional features such as image/video capture or audio announcements. ”We see multifunctional devices aggregating multiple safety functions, such as smoke/gas detectors combined with temperature reading capabilities. We see voice being integrated into those devices, allowing them to provide announcements, and interact with the person in the house,” comments Raz Kivelevich-Carmi, vice president of Marketing and Business Development at DSP Group.

LIGHTS DIVERSIFY IN APPLICATIONS Smart lights that go beyond the single application of providing lighting have emerged in recent years, presenting an enticing offer especially for the DIY market. These smart lights may serve additional purposes such as home security, with features like embedded sensors, video surveillance, two-way communication and etc. A successful Indiegogo campaign project that raised $35,866USD, Snap by Sengled is an LED floodlight with an HD camera that combines lighting with video surveillance. With the Wi-Fi enabled Snap, users can set motion-detection zones, receive activity notiﬁcations, or set lighting schedules using the app. BeON Home offers LED light bulbs that can also be used for home security and safety. With its smart module, BeON light bulbs can learn the sounds of alarms and respond to events. They can also learn user patterns so that the lights can operate based on these patterns while the user is away. “BeON makes a very simple smart bulb, and it’s more of a home protection system. It provides emergency lighting and also acts as a burglar deterrent,” says Alexei Erchak, co-founder and CEO of BeON Home. “There’s a smart module that inserts inside the bulb, it contains a Bluetooth chip, a microphone, and listening algorithms that listen to door bells, smoke alarms, and CO alarms so that your light can respond and be there when you need it.” Packing many features into one single device brings a lower total cost of ownership, which is appealing for DIY users who are interested in smart home gadgets but with limited budgets. In addition, hybrid products often feature a simple installation and conﬁguration process to bring better user experiences. We believe there will be more innovative all-in-one devices coming out in 2016 to help simplify smart home adoption.

2016 Smart Home Tech Trend Preview:

Voice and Gesture Controls As the smart home gets smarter, can we find a more intuitive way to control the smart home other than swiping or tapping away on our smartphone or tablet? By Cindy Lin

More and more companies are now looking into using voice or gesture to control the home, hoping to make home control more intuitive and natural. These types of control can also help make life better and simpler for those with special needs such as the physically challenged or people with vision problems. With efforts directed towards developing products or applications that support voice control or gesture control, companies like Apple, Google, Amazon, Fibar Group, digitalSTROM and others are taking the smart home a step forward. While interaction via voice or gesture control is not a completely new concept, as we have seen products like smartphone equipped with voice recognition, or gaming consoles capable of detecting users’ movements, using voice or gesture to control the home has been relatively recent.

VOICE CONTROL Voice control is generally seen as a natural and intuitive way of controlling the home. It also provides the beneﬁt of allowing users to control devices in a hands-free way. This is particularly useful in places like the kitchen, where people may have their hands tied to other household chores. “Voice control is a natural input, because it can generate activity when you are in another room or if your hands are already full with something else,” says Joe Gerber, president and COO of Insteon. Amazon Echo is a popular voice command

device designed for the smart home. The Echo is always listening for users’ commands. Companies like Insteon, Philips, Belkin, SmartThings and Wink have added voice control functionality to their devices through compatibility with Amazon Echo. “From our perspective, we’ve seen a significant increase in the demand for voice control for home automation. With the arrival of Amazon Echo, Siri for HomeKit and Cortana, consumers are starting to acknowledge voice control as a normal input for automated control,” adds Gerber. digitalSTROM, a German-Swiss smart home technology provider, has also demonstrated integration with Amazon Echo to support voice control. “We think it makes sense to use voice control for giving overall commands in the house. You don’t switch on a light in a room using voice control because pressing the light switch is much faster.

If you want to close all the shades, or if you forgot to switch off the light in the kitchen when sitting on the sofa, then you use voice control,” says Martin Vesper, CEO of digitalSTROM AG. “Voice control can also be used for timing events, where it involves a series of asks to be performed, and personalization – just say your name and the system will adjust to your personal settings.” Another way for companies to add voice control to their products is through adoption of Apple HomeKit. With Apple HomeKit compatibility, devices can be controlled by users talking to Siri on iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, or other devices that support it. Philips is one example. The company has just announced the integration of Philips Hue with Apple HomeKit in early October. Besides Philips, many others like Insteon, Schlage, August, Lutron have also joined the ecosystem to add voice control functionality to at least some of their products. Integration with HomeKit allows these companies to leverage Apple’s voice control technology so they do not have to develop their own proprietary technologies.

on changes in electromagnetic field or Wi-Fi signals,” says Ewa Bujak, PR manager of Fibar Group. SWIPE recognizes six simple gestures – up, down, left, right, circle to the left, and circle to the right. One distinguishing feature of SWIPE is that it can detect gestures through various materials. “Users can place SWIPE behind art work or even a drywall. Mounting SWIPE underneath a wooden countertop can allow users to control devices in the kitchen when they are in the middle of preparing dinner when their hands are dirty,” explains Bujak.

GESTURE CONTROL

CHALLENGES AND LIMITATIONS

digitalSTROM is at the forefront of presenting interesting use cases of gesture control or recognition in the home through integration with third party products. This year, the company demonstrated a new application scenario called “Smile for a coffee”, where users can just smile to give command to their coffeemaker to make a cup of coffee. The application uses the Intel RealSense 3-D camera to optically detect hand movements, facial expressions, or room entry to trigger commands. However, as explained by Vesper, for right now this scenario is only a showcase, and it is not until standalone RealSense 3-D cameras become available that the company will start developing this kind of application. According to Vesper, the RealSense 3-D cameras are currently only integrated in laptops and PCs. The Fibar Group, a famous name in the smart home industry, introduced at CEDIA 2015 a new wireless control panel called “SWIPE”, which features gesture control. “Gesture control is a user-friendly way for controlling household appliances, also for younger users. Just look at how particular hand moves used to control touch screens were quickly adopted by people and even children. Gesture recognition technologies nowadays are based not only on images from cameras, but also

While using voice or gesture for device control seems promising for the future smart home, there are still limitations and challenges that need to be overcome or addressed. Bujak points out that one limitation of voice control might be that people are not used to this type of communication. From the technology point of view, she thinks that “there are also technical challenges like finding the best solution to capture the voice orders, differences between languages and accents. However, it is important that smart home platforms provide versatility and proper voice controlling integration.” Vesper expresses a similar view. “We’re in the early stage of voice control, and adaptation takes a while. Although verbal communication is very natural, people don’t feel comfortable right away. If you look at how people talk to the system, it’s more like using a command language rather than natural sentences. However, the system is not designed for command language but for common human parlance. After a while, customers will become more relaxed about the technology, so it’s a question of adaptation and also habit.” Antti Vihavainen, Business Development at Cozify, raises the issue that “both voice and gesture controls require the end user to be near a sensor, be it the microphone or camera. And this will be difﬁcult to arrange in a large house.” He thinks that although using wearables, such as a smart watch, can solve the problem, the dependency on wearables would make family-wide acceptance much more difﬁcult.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE As technologies continue to evolve, and people become more accustomed to the technologies, voice or gesture control may revolutionize the smart home experience by changing the way people interact with their smart homes. We also expect new use cases to emerge as the industry advances.

2016 Smart Home Tech Trend Preview:

Connected Health 2015 is the year when the smart home market witnessed an influx of connected health devices and applications. With advancements in both the hardware and software for the smart home, use cases for connected health in the home continue to expand and evolve, offering infinite possibilities unimaginable. Advanced form of telecare for the elderly or those with special needs, and smart sleep solutions, are two leading applications that are gaining momentum.

Telecare comprises assistive technologies and services tailored to individual needs. It monitors activity changes over time and can call for help in emergencies. For instance, a bed occupancy sensor can monitor when a person gets out of bed at night and raise an alarm if they do not return within a certain period.”

PERS TRANSFORMS IN FORM AND FUNCTION

By Cindy Lin

“We definitely see a lot of interest and growth in connected home and homecare solutions. Most seen use cases include eldercare and care for the disabled. Utilizing connected home devices as the infrastructure will strongly support growth of such solutions, and calls for reliable and quality build devices with non-intrusive designs have become the norm. Our device portfolio has been designed to support this type of customer demand,” comments Marco Dorjee, Director of Business Development and International Sales at CentraLite Systems. While it does not have a universal definition yet, telecare, as defined in Deloitte’s report, “uses alarms, sensors and other equipment to help people live independently longer, particularly those who require a combination of social or health services.

These alarms, or also called personal emergency response systems (PERS), are typically in the form of a system that includes a transmitter and an emergency button. The wearer can press the emergency button to seek help when accidents occur, such as falling down. The emergency button is often worn as a pendant so it would be within reach of the user. However, some users may associate wearing the pendant with stigma and would not wear it as often, thus reducing the effectiveness of such system. In recent years, a new form of emergency button has emerged. Rather than wearing the button as a pendant, users now have the option of wearing it as a watch. Companies have started to add features such as fall detection to their emergency buttons so users can seek help when they fall even if they don’t press the button. In this way, the button also becomes proactive in ensuring the safety of the user. Philips Lifeline offers three models of medical alert systems for seniors – GoSafe, HomeSafe Standard and HomeSafe

with AutoAlert – each including a help button and an in-home Communicator (hub). HomeSafe Standard offers users the option of wearing the help button either as a pendant or a watch, and both GoSafe and HomeSafe with AutoAlert feature fall detection so that the system will contact Lifeline automatically when the help button senses a fall and/or if the user fails to push the button. By leveraging location technologies including GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular networks and others, GoSafe can even offer out-of-home emergency assistance when the user is out. With the employment of advanced software and smart algorithms, users' behavioral patterns, or lifestyles, can now be learned and analyzed for detecting changes in patterns, which can be a sign of users being at risk. Many companies are also developing mobile apps to make communication more instant and convenient. Lively’s 24/7 emergency medical alert system features an emergency button in the form of a watch – the Lively Safety Watch. Users can press and hold the button on the watch to initiate a call from the Lively Care Team when needed. Besides the watch, the system also includes an In-Home Hub and several Activity Sensors. The Activity Sensors can be placed on pillboxes, the refrigerator or other locations to measure the user’s living patterns. When abnormalities are detected, alerts can be sent to select family members. With the Lively app, users can choose to receive alerts sent by email, text or mobile app. Although wearables continue to expand on their functionality to bring enhanced services for the elders, their short battery life remains a major weakness, along with other issues like limited range, as pointed out by Poul Møller Eriksen, VP - Business Development at Develco Products A/S. “I think the optimal solution for wearables for older, senile or semi-senile people is providing a device that can detect falling and also detect when you are leaving your house and your exact location [after you have left the house]. So it also needs to have online communication. But the challenge with wearables today is that battery life is very short. So until we have a wearable device that has a good battery life, preferably one week, and is capable of communicating worldwide using GPS, I don’t think it will be a success,” says Eriksen.

Technologies. “Also, by collecting data over a longer period of time, it can also create alerts for family members or caretakers if the seniors slowly change their behavior – something that is hard to identify like walking slower or having bad sleep patterns,” he adds. However, there remain challenges for the elderly to embrace connected health technology. NextMarket Insights identiﬁes several challenges for smart home technology in eldercare in its report – a technology must be easy to understand; the technology must respect the privacy and dignity of aging users; and new technologies must be convenient and not add any additional requirements on the user.

SLEEP MONITORING Trying to get a good night’s sleep can be difficult for some people, especially at times when work or personal lives become stressful. In the past, if anyone wants to ﬁnd out how well he or she has slept, the person would have to go into a sleep clinic and possibly spend nights there. Now, with the

NO WEARABLES, JUST SENSORS Companies like GreenPeak Technologies are taking a different approach that foregoes wearables altogether and just uses sensors to monitor activities of elders at home. GreenPeak’s Sensara Senior Lifestyle System consists of a gateway and a mix of motion sensors and open/close sensors that can be placed around the home. The system also learns user’s behavior pattern by analyzing data collected by the sensors. “A self-learning application in the cloud analyzes the data collected by the sensors, and after a period of two weeks, the analytics engine will have collected enough data to be able to recognize living patterns of the person in the home. For instance, what time the person gets up, how long is the bathroom occupied, and so forth. If there is a sudden change in the schedule, it sends an alert to family and caregivers,” says Cees Links, founder & CEO of GreenPeak

advent of smart sleep solutions, people can track their sleep right from their own bed and be able to sleep better. hugOne by sevenhugs is a sleep sensor designed to help improve the sleep quality for the whole family. The device records all family membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sleep behavior and can figure out when is the best time to wake users up. On top of sleep monitoring, hugOne also has environmental sensors for monitoring indoor temperature, humidity and air quality, and it will notify the user when the air quality needs attention. Aura Connected Alarm Clock by Withings features the ability to help users fall asleep faster and wake up more energized through the use of light and music. For example, Aura has light programs that simulate sunrise for a gradual wake up, or it can stream Spotify playlists or wake-up programs to help users start the day feeling refreshed. Similarly, Aura has environmental sensors. It can monitor temperature, luminosity and sound levels in the room. An optional sleep

sensor is available if users want to gain more insight into their sleep, such as sleep duration, sleep cycle variation and more, and they can view full sleep cycles on their smartphones. With integration with Nest thermostat, Aura can even notify the Nest to change the temperature to promote sleep quality.

LOOKING AHEAD Although the introduction of connected health to the smart home is relatively recent, it is nevertheless expanding rapidly alongside industries and companies that are moving fast to develop related products and applications. With the increase in healthcare demands worldwide and the fact that connected health brings clear beneďŹ ts, we expect to see more development in 2016.

What are

they saying

Z-WAVE SEES POTENTIAL IN RETAIL CHANNELS

Dr. Christian Paetz, CEO, Z-Wave Europe GmbH

“We have seen very solid growth in Europe in the last years, and we now see the technology enter the retail channel. If it’s possible to communicate well in retail channels there is a huge upside. So far most retail channels either don’t have a clear strategy or have not implemented this in the ﬁeld. It is not enough to just show the products in their packaging. The largest hurdle is still the variety of different wireless standards and the proprietary nature of most offerings (even some that claim to be open). Consumer can’t understand this and they feel helpless. Z-Wave is on a good path to present itself as an ecosystem with various vendors all interoperating together. This is something consumers know from standards like Wi-Fi – certainly the right way to go.”

AURORA HIGHLIGHTS BETTER USER EXPERIENCES

Neil Salt, Chief Product & Marketing Ofﬁcer, Aurora Group

“It’ll be a slow start, speeding up in 2017-18. Awareness, education, consumer confidence once they begin to understand the benefits will drive the growth. What hinders growth is potentially cost, not understanding the best solution and whether those solutions will work best together. User experience will hinder growth because there are not that many products on the market. Negative user experiences can be removed by manufacturers creating more interoperable products, simpler user interface, and more autonomous systems. A pervasive deployment network of educated installers and commissioners will be a critical component in expediting the adoption and give consumers comfort that everything works together as it should - and someone to call when it doesn't! It will take some large, well-known home brands to get on board with this so that it’s not some kick starter overnight success/flop.”

INSTEON: DEMYSTIFYING IOT FOR CONSUMERS BUILDS CONFIDENCE “The industry will be stable with a slight movement from single solutions to multiple solutions Joe Gerber, President and COO, working together. Insteon The customer is getting smarter about the IoT and beginning to understand some of the differences in solutions. The industry has taken a hit with some competition going chapter 11. This hinders conﬁdence from the consumer due to the limited longevity of companies in the space. We need to continue to demystify the IoT for consumers and grow our ecosystem to multiple partnered brands. This will build conﬁdence in the consumer about the industry’s growth capabilities, and will make IoT a reality for the everyday shopper.”

OOMI: WE’RE RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF A BIG CHANGE

Brian Hirsh, Marketing, Fantem Technologies

“We’re right at the beginning of a big change in people's lives at home. We’re going to see adoption of smart home technology expand rapidly in the next few years. The devices are ﬁnally catching up with the average consumer. People were testing them out before, and they were designed too much for engineers or people who want to spend a lot of time and effort learning these systems to create their smart home. We are ﬁnally seeing technology coming out that is easy enough for the average consumer to use, and also affordable enough. I think that’s the combination that will really inspire the growth of the smart home industry.”

COZIFY: THE INDUSTRY NEEDS COMPANIES THAT CONNECT EVERYTHING TOGETHER

Antti Vihavainen, Business Development, Cozify

DSP: SMART HOME WILL SEE SIGNIFICANT GROWTH

Tali Chen, CVP of Corporate Development, DSP Group

“We believe that the smart home will present a signiﬁcant growth in the coming years. The smart home market is still in very early stages, there are a few issues that are delaying the mass adoption – ease of use, cost, reliability and multiple standards with no interoperability. Ultra-Low Energy (ULE) solves a big portion of these hindrances. ULE-based systems are easy to use and built to be self-installed. With its range, DECT can provide full home coverage so there is no need for repeaters, making the system cost attractive. The spectrum of the DECT is interference free so the system is more reliable. When adding voice to the picture as the means to manage the system, we will see more people picking up IoT services.”

“The market will grow at an increasing speed due to several factors. One is the availability of innovative solutions that will be able to cater to the needs of new customers. Another one is the entries of internet giants into the scene – they will attract a lot of publicity and thus increase the awareness in the general public. Factors that are possibly slowing down the growth include immature products and the resulting consumer disappointment and bad publicity. Furthermore, industry standards are very heterogeneous and causing end-users a lot of confusion. To use the smart home applications, the end-user is forced to learn UIs and choose from multiple technologies. To overcome this, the industry needs companies that connect everything together and drive UX uniﬁcation forward.”

SHARP: GOVERNMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE PLAY IMPORTANT ROLES IN DRIVING THE MARKET

Linda Lim, Marketing Manager, Marketing Department Digital Visual Systems, SharpRoxy Sales & Service Malaysia

“Depending on the region in Southeast Asia, the government and infrastructure, such as broadband, can play important roles in driving the smart home market. Smart home adoption can be very fast especially for Malaysia as we are only at the introductory stage. With broadband penetration in Malaysia around 70%, faster data speed at lower cost would provide the impetus for growth. We see more competitors coming into the country, and with more competitors and government initiatives, we can see very fast growth.”

ECOA FUEGO SENSOR DETECTS HAZARDOUS GAS LEAKAGE AT EARLY STAGE

o ensure the air quality and safety at home, many sensors are required to detect the potential threats before any damage is done. However, with ECOA's FUEGO sensor, which can monitor up to nine kinds of environmental/ air status, users are able to gather the integrated information about his/her home environment with great efficiency. Multi-functional Compared with general sensors which often provide only one or two environmental indicators, the FUEGO sensor is cable of gathering multiple data at one time from nine kinds of sources: temperature, humidity, pressure, VOC, CO, CO2, LUX, Gas and PM2.5. It helps SI and users simplify the installation process and reduce costs. Besides, the FUEGO sensor is housed within an IP50 dustproof and comes with a LCD display which enables real-time monitoring. When the PIR inside of the gadget senses any human presence, the screen would light up and display the data instantly. As for installation, this sensor can be mounted on a wall of any room where air quality is a concern, via the RS485 MODBUS RTU protocol. It can be installed in the kitchen to detect

gas leakage during cooking cooking, or it can be settled in a living room to provide useful environmental info. Early Detection The wide range of the FUEGO sensor allows an early detection and alert once hazardous gas leakage happens, before gas density reaches the dangerous level, giving users more time to react and greatly reducing harms. As soon as the sensor detects potential threats, it would immediately warn users with sound alert. If the sensor is integrated on ECOA's smart control system, more interactions between the sensor and other devices would be available. For instance, as soon as the sensor sends alert, the alarm system would be activated and the gas shut-off valve would be turned off. About ECOA ECOA Technologies has specialized in building management system (BMS) technologies since its establishment in 1993 in Taiwan. In 2014, the company started to recognize the flourishing smart home market as its new playground. With its specialty in both automation and energy management, ECOA has applied its smart control system and products to improve the living environment in homes or residential communities.

Undoubtedly, audio and video equipment has been U.S. homeowners’ favorite when they consider purchasing home electronics at home. Recently, there have been more and more affordable and easyto-use home automation and security add-ons released and promoted to the masses. When the end users ﬁnd that controlling their home devices can be as easy as swiping on their smartphones, they will be more likely to upgrade to a connected home and be able to enjoy the beneﬁts it brings. Moreover, new entrants and offerings have expanded the market scale and lowered the price level. In this uprising market, we can see more and more new technologies being deployed. For example, there are multifunctional devices or voice and gesture controlled products for more intuitive operation. It is essential to reduce installation cost and effort for the price-sensitive masses. Hardware suppliers and platform providers are making it easy and affordable for users and system integrators by utilizing wireless technology.

FIVE MAJOR TRENDS U.S. HOME AUT ALL-IN-ONE All-in-one or so-called multi-functional devices are getting popular. There are more DIY-like devices that connect with the whole-home systems. According to Richie Scholl, President of Worthington, “All-in-one systems are getting popular because of lower-cost of the system, and that the one device can reduce the three separate items.” For example, LUCIS NuBryte is an all-in-one smart home system that combines smart lighting, intercom, security camera, energy and household management into one device. The Novi Security 4-in-1 home security sensor provides HD camera, motion and smoke detection along with a siren. Gavin Tanner, VP of Marketing of Novi Security said, “You can adjust the motion sensor’s sensitivity. When you or your pets are at home, you can decrease the sensitivity of the motion detectors to avoid the false alarm.” Oomi Cube is a wireless home hub integrated with network camera and eight kinds of sensors. Brian Hirsh, Marketing at Fantem Technologies said, “We take different approaches. We focus on user simplicity, making smart home accessible to everyone with our useful and smarter system. We simplify the pairing process with our tapand-touch technology by using NFC technology.” Users can just use the Oomi Touch controller to tap the accessories and then conﬁrm the pairing by touching the icon.

a touchscreen display, iPhone, iPad, smart watch, or PC. Homeowners have more flexibility in controlling their home automation devices with schedule setting, personalized system scenes, and notiﬁcation creation with DIY-like ease without asking system integrators for help. At the same time, integrators can see the changes made and remotely view, add, delete, reconfigure, and recover previous versions. Remote controller have expanded its functionality, and becomes connected as well. For example, URC and RTI released remotes with built-in color touchscreen LCD displays for audio intercom, monitoring surveillance cameras, and other functions that are found in the smartphone. When someone rings the doorbell, the homeowners can switch the screen to the surveillance camera or front door to see what’s happening on the TV. The suppliers think the dedicated touchscreen displays and remote controllers are still important. Suppliers such as Remote Technologies Inc. (RTI) think that dedicated remote controls are important elements of any control system. Brett Stokke, Director of Communications at RTI said, “Relying

ECURITY, LIGHTING, ENTERTAINMENT IN HIGH DEMAND AMONG SYSTEM INSTALLERS Safety and security applications have led demand in the home automation market besides the entertainment. Lighting control, security systems like video surveillance and alarm sensors, thermostat, safety sensor, automated door locks are popular categories. Amy Jalili, Director of Marketing at On Controls said, “Security continues to be in big demand, as does lighting control. We're seeing more and more homeowners integrate lighting solutions into their control and automation plans for their home, it's right up there with

Remote controls offer the simple, tactile control users are accustomed to, making it important to always include a dedicated control in any installation.” Platform suppliers are trying to make their customers' homes smarter, not just connected. Control4’s new OS 2.8 includes new features that exhibit this fact entirely. Added with this recent software release are a whole host of user-interface updates for smart home entertainment and security solutions that not only give the customer control over their smart devices, but also orchestrate events and

audio and video.” Core Brands Senior Brand Manager Chris Bundy indicated that the growth in lighting automation is huge, with estimated 25 percent YoY growth, mostly coming from the international markets like Asia Paciﬁc. Tim Dinkel, Lighting Controls Specialist for Wiring Devices at Eaton also pointed out that the company’s lighting control and wiring devices have tremendous growth. Paul Williams, VP of Lighting & Comfort Products at Control4 said, “With this OS 2.8 release, we have focused on security and multimedia because those are important areas that consumers want to integrate into their smart home. People want to make sure their home and family are secure, and we see the need for providing this peace of mind to our customers. Entertainment is also a major smart home entry point due to the simple control that consumers want, and the great solutions we deliver.” The wireless smart lock is believed to be one of fast-growing sectors. Nolan Mondrow, President of LockState said, “The smart lock is among the fast-growing and a must-have for smart home because it’s the ﬁrst thing homeowners touch to enter the

The door lock opens the door to the home automation in the house.” James Hsieh, Chief of Staff of CEO Ofﬁce at Mivatek believes elderly care will experience high growth in the IoT market, followed security systems and automation/energy management. “The aging baby-boomer population provides us with a unique opportunity to create easy-to-use products that serve their speciﬁc needs.” Besides home security and entertainment, environmental control is also significant for home automation. Minkin of Border States Electric indicated that energy management and automation have been driving growth of controllable thermostats and temperature/humidity sensors. The introduction of sensor technology is creating a new market demand. Stokke of RTI said, “More and more sensor technology is being introduced into the home. From an energy management standpoint, sensors can detect when a person arrives at home or enters the room, allowing the lighting and temperature to adjust accordingly.”

INTUITIVE OPERATION – VOICE, GESTURE CONTROLS With the proliferation of smartphones, consumers now feel comfortable with smart technologies. Beyond mobile apps, manufacturers are trying to develop solutions that support more intuitive operations. This year, we see new offerings supporting voice and gesture control to make the home control easier. For example, the Savant Remote features voice command function that users can activate their own Savant scenes. When they say "RELAX," the system will dim the lights and play music. When they say "GOODNIGHT," the system will turn everything off. Fibaro Swipe is a Z-Wave wireless gesture-control panel that allows users to control home automation devices through gestures without touching any devices or using a smart phone or tablet. It can recognize six simple gestures—up, down, left, right, circle to the left, circle to the right for users to perform home control activities like turning lights on/off, lowering and raising blinds, dimming and brightening lights, running complete automated scenes and more.

WIRELESS INSTALLATION Z-Wave, ZigBee and Wi-Fi are three major and popular communication standards for smart home. For system integrators and installers in the United States, Z-Wave and Wi-Fi are popular. Scholl of Worthington said, “Z-Wave is a popular technology for system installers because most control panels are Z-Wave based so far.“ Easy to install, and reliable systems are important factors before the system integrators and end users make a purchase. Tim Dinkel, Lighting Controls Specialist for Wiring Devices at Eaton, said, “At the moment, we focus on Z-Wave only. One advantage is its interoperability with different devices. If you want to integrate a system with door locks, thermostats, lighting control, the protocol allows you to do that in a very structured manner. The customers may want to the control the door lock with the system that controls the lights, and Z-Wave does that.” Eaton’s Anyplace RF batteryoperated switch enables homeowners and contractors to install a switch anywhere in the home without additional wiring. Although Wi-Fi dominates Internet connectivity and home network infrastructure, there are attractive protocols on the horizon. “Customers tend to shy away from products that are difficult to install, which also results in a lot of product returns,” said James Hsieh, Chief of Staff at MivaTek. “We chose Wi-Fi and RF433 protocols for our products. RF433 allows us to pre-pair our devices at the factory, so they’re easy to install. We’re also looking into incorporating ZigBee and Z-Wave into our DIY kits next year.” LockState provides Wi-Fi smart locks. Nolan Mondrow, President of LockState said, “We did this because everybody has Wi-Fi in the home and business. With Wi-Fi, users don’t need any smart home gateway. The

infrastructure has already built. They don’t have to worry about the network, and can have long range of coverage.” He indicated that the Wi-Fi enable devices are popular for installers. Mohan Vellanki, Co-Founder of Orvito indicated, “If you get all the products with Wi-Fi, it would be easy because you’ve got the consistent interface and experience.”

MORE AFFORDABLE, MORE ACCESSIBLE For the mass market, the price point can be a crucial factor for a wider adoption. From the HomeAdviser, the average amount spent on home automation systems is around $1,188 in the United States. The report shows most home owners spent between $623 and $2,052. The market base contains 64 million potential clients. From the CEDIA Expo 2015, we could see the systems have been lowering down to less than $1,000. Clare Controls offers the new CLIQ.mini controller with a MSRP of just under $400 to its dealers. In addition, its products support Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) featuring auto-discover capabilities for Clare cameras, Sonos, and Sony products, requiring no additional equipment or licensing fees. Kwikset’s Signature Series with Home Connect is priced at $149, available in security and consumer electronics professional distribution outlets. The smart lock is operated on 4 AA batteries that will last for approximately one year. The lock utilizes a single-cylinder deadbolt as its foundation, and it features easy installation, targeting ﬁrst-time homebuyers or homeowners. Smartphones and tablets provide a more affordable interface than dedicated control panels. It creates a new market segment and lowers the barriers to the mass adoption. Amy Jalili, Director of Marketing at On Controls said, “iOS and Android tablets have become more accessible to the mass market which deﬁnitely gives consumers an incentive to consider this kind of a solution. In the past we relied on a dedicated control panel and/or remote. But now we want to provide a solution that is available to the larger public. By allowing individuals to leverage the familiarity and convenience of their personal iOS or Android device we've created a far more attractive and user-friendly solution.”

U.S. Home Automation Market Update By Weili Lin

The U.S. leads the pack in the smart home market in terms of market maturity and penetration. According to Statista’s Digital Market Outlook, the United States is the world largest market for smart home technology in terms of revenue and household adoption. There are currently 4.6 million smart homes in the United States, a number that is expected to increase fivefold by 2020. The other research firm Technavio forecasts the smart home market in the US to grow at a CAGR of 38.02 percent over the period 2015-2019. In the United States, there are mature network facility, numerous innovative companies and products, strong ecosystem, and robust market demand. DIY systems are easily -accepted and fast-growing. The country has a long history of homeowers fixing their own household items. Also, with more and more new entrants into the field, the consumers have a better understanding and more choices of the smart home systems.

Home controller and platform providers like Control4, Crestron, Savant, ELAN, URC and RTI have led the home automation industry for decades. With regards to the smart home market, they dominate the luxury and mid-range segments by offering custom installation systems. With the evolvement of the Internet of Things and proliferation of smart mobile devices like smartphones, entry barriers are lowered. The existing companies thus face the threat from new entrants who target at the mass and entry-level market. The new entrants provide more affordable solutions with low-end disruption, satisfying mainstream customers who are price sensitive. The cost advantage makes the suppliers competitive since their entrance in this decade. Paul Williams, VP of Lighting & Comfort Products at Control4 said, “Home automation at one point belonged exclusively to the upper market. We feel we have been successful over the last decade because we are driving home automation into the mid-level market.” Brett Stokke,

Director of Communications at RTI said, “Satellite and cable companies are now moving into the home automation market along with big names like Google and Apple, which are generating a lot of buzz and helping the segment grow.” Nolan Mondrow, President of LockState commented, “If you look at the CES four or ﬁve years ago, home automation was a very small portion. Now, the market is exploding. Everything now becomes mainstream and people are aware of that. It’s a long curve when we talk to the next ﬁve to ten years. If you manufacture anything without using IoT, you could risk failure.” When talking about new entrants, there is a new group of installers in the United States called DIY installers. Mondrow of LockState said, “It’s almost like a handy man, but they are more trained. They tend to be small companies or individuals.” Steve Ipson, VP of Commercial Care at White Rabbit indicated the driving force of growth will be cost and simplicity. He said, “The product needs to be affordable, not only providing security, but also the modern conveniences that home owners want at a price point that more people can afford. Many people don’t have a security or home automation system because it’s too expensive. So by bringing the cost down and making it effortless to use, we will see an increase in market penetration.”

Amy Jalili, Director of Marketing at On Controls said, “We definitely see a growing demand. The consumers in the middle-class market are budget-conscious, but still desire automated technology in their homes. With the increase in availability of such solutions we've seen the connected home trend become far more commonplace with today's homeowner.” Lucas Funes, CEO and Founder of Webee thinks the consumers still need a lot of education for the mass adoption. He said, “The cost of a truly smart home is an important driver, but the main barrier to become mainstream is that consumers don't understand what type of system they need. System integrators, security and telecom companies play a key role in the education.” He added that the installer’s role is critical to let users understand what they need and where to start.

have made the connected home come true. Distributors who sold products to them believe that the professional installation market is still larger than the DIY market in the United States. The distributors like Worthingtons and Border States Electric promote customized and semi-customized systems. Darryl Minkin, DataComm Product Manager of Border States Electric said, “DIY products are certainly not as highly functioning as those professionally installed systems. The consumer could beneﬁt from installation, conﬁguration, functions, after services from professional installation.” Funes of Webee said, “System integrators and installers that already are in the homes make the truly smart home become real and educate consumers. We think the smart home and IoT market will be mainstream, but it will take a couple of years since people need to understand even more the power and benefits of a truly smart home and how easy is to install and setup by itself.” Stokke of RTI said, “With the increased interest in home automation by consumers, it’s not surprising that they initially look to cheaper DIY products. However, many times they become frustrated with the performance of these products and turn to our dealers for help. The majority of consumers simply don’t have the time to learn the software and setup procedures needed to successfully install and troubleshoot these systems. A professional integrator has the proper knowledge and experience to select and install the automation solution that will meet the user’s expectations.” In the competitive market, it’s necessary to enhance the market penetration and presence as soon as possible. The companies make an all-out effort to support as many third-party devices as they can. For example, ELAN has released an open API to make it easy to create two-way drivers for third-party devices. “We have one of the best interfaces on the market. We develop most of our drivers in-house, so we can create better interfaces for third-party devices,” said Bundy. He continued “Because our controllers have no fans or moving parts, they never need to be reset. Once you plug them in, you never need to reboot. We try to make our system easy to use, while not compromising the experience. ELAN also focuses on privacy as an important issue. “We have 256-bit

encryption on every single log-in. It would take around ten years to brute force hack an ELAN system," said Bundy. The new entrant from Comcast, one of the U.S. largest service providers provides Xfinity Home system. It works with Nest, Chamberlain, August lock, Lutron Caséta and other popular residential DIY solutions. The users can use their cable box to connect to those smart home devices they already have at home without purchasing a speciﬁc home hub or gateway. Furthermore, the integrators are looking for consistent method for creating service contracts and want to make sure which clients are covered for various levels of service. From Ihiji’s research, they had no centralized place for all customer and site data and an effective method for sending monthly bills. Ihiji launched a new SaaS solution ServiceManager for integrators, security monitoring firms, and other companies that offer technical support or services to improve and profitably expand their businesses. It gives professionals the tools they need to set up and maintain bottom-line-boosting recurring monthly revenue service plans. Steve Muccini, Director of Marketing at Ihiji said “The new product is going to allow the integrators to deliver not only this remote service, but also charge their customers, and set up multi-tiers of services. It helps the integrators to make money." He explains that the integrators use its products because they want to reduce support cost and dazzle their customers. “They want to reduce the time that they sent the technicians to the remote sites. That costs money. Also, they can use our system to solve the problem before the problem happens,” added Muccini.

SURGING DEMANDS Overall speaking, the DIY solutions are simple to use and affordable; while, the custom home automation systems

are more complicated and expensive. However, professional installed systems are viewed as more reliable and customizable. It is a trend to find a balance between ease of use and customization. Also, the average users want one app to control all devices. Delia Hansen, Director of Distribution at Clare Controls indicated that the mainstream expects balance of luxury and DIY solutions. "Mainstream home owners expect quality and reliable products at lower price points, highly personalized but simple-to-use systems, app-based solutions to work with the devices they already have, sophisticated capability set with an intuitive user experience, and professionally selected and installed solutions that allow the homeowner to retain control and ownership,“ Hansen said. For the ultimate ease of use, it’s important that a control system allows a high degree of customization. Stokke of RTI said, “For instance, having five to ten different apps cluttering up smart devices can be just as confusing as having a table full of remotes. RTI is the glue that holds a system together, taking all of these different elements and bringing them together into one app that is completely customizable. It cuts through the confusion, eliminating the need to explain to family members and guests which app controls each aspect of the home.” Mohan Vellanki, Co-Founder of Orvito said, “Users in the U.S. ask for simpler and an integrated solution. In that direction, we have launched Orvito Nucleo with the vision of making the physical space smarter by giving the users ability to connect, monitor, control and automate any device in home, office or building in a single, integrated IoT network." The company creates Spindle. It is a cloud-based universal smart home controller that lets users control any IR based device and host of third party smart devices like Nest, Yale locks, Philips hue and many more. Expanding sales territory has been a major development directions for either DIY or professional installation solution providers. LockState joins Airbnb Host Assist Program to allow Airbnb hosts to utilize its cloud-controlled smart locks like its RemoteLock 6i for access permission and easy entry management. Also, LockState partners with Kozo Keikaku, one of Japanese leading engineering system solution providers, to jointly create cloud-based smartphone applications that combine data from Internet connected sensors like motion detectors with controllable devices like door locks. They are designed for customers in the vacation rental, property management and healthcare markets in North America, Southeast Asia and Japan. Vellanki of Orvito explained the challenges nowadays. “The IoT is booming up, there are new players every six months. The quality of the players becomes an issue right now. Consumers will start to wonder if it really works. Once they have the bad experience, they won’t try it anymore. In the marketplace, smaller and bad quality players will fall away, consolidation will happen and then there will only be good products at the end.” From the industry experts’ viewpoints, we see that the DIY and retail markets have been growing faster than the professional installation market in terms of the number of new companies and products. The professional installation market players head towards leveraging the two markets by either partnering with leading DIY platforms like Nest or open their API to add more thirdparty devices. The consumers will benefit from the balance of simplicity and customization with more affordable price. For the industry players, the competition will become more intense but the market will expand even larger. Look into the future, they have to keep competiveness and find a profitable way. That’s essential.

AllSeen

Ecosystem Targets on Software Developers and Supply Chains

By Veronica Chen

SMAhome has had the pleasure to sit down with Dr. Philip A. DesAutels, senior director of AllSeen Alliance at IFA 2015 to talk about their latest offerings for the interoperability of connected home and his perspectives on the ecosystem expansions.

What are some of AllSeen Alliance's highlights at IFA this year? Besides the software update, our highlight at the show is the HAE, or Home Appliance and Entertainment framework. The HAE allows devices to talk back and forth, and it is a communications protocol for smart connected devices. For instance, AllSeen's Gateway Agent allows you to connect local devices to a cloud or external services, whereas the HAE sits on top of AllJoyn and gives "meaning" to devices such as a refrigerator, washing machine, and

so forth. It provides a semantic layer so that devices can talk to each other without an interpreter, such as devices from different brands can interoperate as long as they adopt the HAE framework. The HAE provides more meaning for developers. The people who are working on HAE are all big brand manufacturers, including LG, Sharp, Electrolux, Panasonic, Lowe's, Honeywell, and so forth. Although they are competitors with one another, they understand that it is important to have a shared understanding of appliances so that they come together for device interoperability.

It seems that more and more new members are joining the AllSeen Alliance, what are the reasons behind their motivation? The AllSeen Alliance is a big open source community. Whether you were a product manufacturer or a software company, you could either be looking to build your own hardware device or software, whereby spending a huge amount of time and capital on infrastructure software. Hence, the greatest attraction of our software is that it can be easily downloaded to run your devices. Our services enable manufacturers to cut the

down the time to develop the required software to run. Since our introduction, our members have come to see the real value by being part of the community and contributing to AllJoyn so that they can add more and more to the community and to be part of this big ecosystem.

What companies are you targeting to join the AllSeen Alliance? We have all the usual big brand companies, but there are two groups of members that we are interested in working with in the future: one is software companies who build apps and firmware; the other being those in the supply chain, such as OEMs. Not only do these companies represent only one product, they represent hundreds of customers. And so I think it's important that they get into the Alliance and to make sure that we are building the pieces that can help them.

Coming from Asia,ASUS also joined the Alliance. How is their membership valuable to AllJoyn? ASUS is a great contributor to AllJoyn. As a huge manufacturer of Intel-based PCs and selling Windows 10 machines shipped with AllJoyn, there are currently 75 million Windows 10 machines in the market today all natively running AllJoyn. The Internet-of-Things is a big thing in terms of its reach, so I believe ASUS has an opportunity to expand their market share based on the Windows 10 side down to their service devices. In June, we released the AllJoyn Device System Bridge (DSB). Microsoft Corp. contributed the open source DSB code to AllJoyn. It allows companies like ASUS to extend their existing Internet of Things (IoT) interfaces into AllJoyn as a common language for applications spanning consumer, healthcare, industrial and governmental sectors.

For example, using the AllJoyn DSB, developers can connect BACnet-based devices for building automation or Z-Wave smart home products to AllJoyn-enabled devices locally or remotely, depending on the design conďŹ guration.

Lowe's joined the Alliance in August.As a retailer giant, what are the Similar to the majority of OEMs and ODMs, Lowe's and retailer giants such as Arcelik, Euronics, Howdens, etc. are communicating directly to a lot of customers on a day-today basis. On the other hand, their supply chains are representing the customers, so they need to be part of the Alliance to represent their customers in order to make sure we are delivering the right thing for end-user customers. The supply chain is really important for them to be represented with us.

How about telecommunications companies? Will AllSeen be interested in their participation with AllJoyn? We currently have Vodafone, LGU+, II Net from Australia, and AT&T. Telecommunication companies have a big role to play within the community. About a third of our members are involved in services, and the remaining are either producing or selling devices. From a consumer's perspective, we want to ensure that devices will work and interoperate with one another after purchased from the store.

What is the AllJoyn 15.09 update? The latest AllJoyn 15.09 version adds in a second layer of security that caters to policy, rather than underlying or fundamental security. The new functionality builds on AllJoyn's existing end-to-end data encryption and message-based security, adding rich semantics that extend familiar security models from the cloud and app domain to the devices that make up the IoT. This new update will facilitate services for users, groups, roles, relationships, and how they interact with things. It's basically a business layer, or social layer on top of underlying security, and that is what the 15.09 version is all about. With these updates AllJoyn minimizes development time and complexity, providing key management, permission rules, and certificates when managing IoT applications and devices. When most people talk about low-level of security protocol, this is the next level up. This update is especially useful if you are a product manufacturer because you need that level to make it work.

Not only do these (OEM/ ODM) companies represent only one product, they represent hundreds of customers. Dr. Philip A. DesAutels, senior director, AllSeen Alliance

So, what is the biggest difference between the 15.09 update and the previous version? This update is a big addition to the previous one. Most people think of additions as technology pieces, but this is more about policy and the social ecosystem around AllJoyn. It provides the infrastructure to have service technicians, sales people, and all kinds of users to acquire the different layers built into the software of AllJoyn.

And we will have over 33 partners with over 64 connected devices in 2016. Haejo Chae, manager of strategy and planning division, Smart Home TF at SK Telecom

By Veronica Chen

SK Telecom Looks to Create Synergy through Intelligent Service Platform After having successfully formed the collaboration with Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics in early September, SK Telecom is looking further to expand its Smart Home open-source ecosystem by working closely with companies of diverse industries. SK Telecom, South Korea's leading telecommunications company, is a new entrant in the connected home space after making its initial debut in May 2015. The Smart Home Platform by SK Telecom has since attracted over 30 partners, and is showing no signs of stopping as it seeks to drum up interests elsewhere outside of South Korea. “SK Telecom is looking to further expand our presence in the market, not only at home but also internationally,” said Haejo Chae, manager of strategy and planning division, Smart Home TF at SK Telecom. The company’s connected home solution is currently based on the Wi-Fi protocol and includes devices like dehumidiﬁers, boilers and air conditioners. However, there are also devices based on Z-Wave protocol, including door locks and gas stoves. These devices can communicate with other devices via the app.

The South Korean telecommunications giant is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Deutsche Telekom, whose venture into the smart home space under its QIVICON solution is testament that the subscription-based model promises huge market potential.

Devices that have been released to the market by SK Telecom include kimchi refrigerator, air washers and air purifiers. Chae added that the company plans to have over 20 connected devices to be integrated by yearend. “And we will have over 33 partners with over 64 connected devices in 2016.”

The Platform Creates Synergy "We are expecting to integrate the intelligent/ personalized service platform by year-end,” she told SMAhome during IFA 2015. “The platform will enable synergies to be created once the platform is converged with technologies and information related to the Internet-of-Things.” Combined with the IoT, the platform can pave the way for more intelligent services to serve as the basis for smart home and commerce. According to SK Telecom, the platform is designed to offer customers personalized service by collecting and analyzing users' diverse situation information. Built with an intelligence algorithm developed by SK Telecom, the platform determines daily patterns of a smartphone user by collecting and analyzing data gathered via smartphone sensors (ambient light sensor, motion sensor, barometric sensor, and so forth); and location information acquired via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or base stations, as well as data on user's smartphone app usage.

Subscription-based Service SK Telecom’s connected home solution subscription based, and despite having ventured into the IoT space in less than a year, the company has witnessed its customer portfolio expand rapidly. “Although our revenue has been relatively modest this year, our partners (device manufacturers) are paying us to have their customers use our app. We expect to garner over 100,000 subscribers next year,” said Junseok Park, manager at SK Telecom's Smart Home TF. The South Korean telecommunications giant is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Deutsche Telekom, whose venture into the smart home space under its QIVICON solution is testament that the subscription-based model promises huge market potential. “Consumers want applications that can help them cut their energy consumption, while applications that enhance comfort and security are also high on their list of priorities," Park said, disclosing that SK Telecom also plans to bring temperature and security platforms to their mix of services in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the company revealed to SMAhome.com during IFA that it plans to work with several manufacturers of small-scale air conditioners and sensor makers to further expand their open ecosystem.

integration performance. So cross-industry horizontal collaboration is very critical. Alex Hsieh, Chief Technology Ofﬁcer, Kbro By Cindy Lin/Veronica Chen

Smart Home is in the Process of Evolution 15 percent, the Magic Number “We entered the smart home market because of the opportunities in this field and the ubiquity of smart devices,” says Alex Hsieh, chief technology ofﬁcer at Kbro. According to Hsieh, the company is the second largest broadband service provider in Taiwan and has seen the number of customers double in the last 4 to 5 years. “Penetration rate is critical for MSOs and telcos,” Hsieh noted. “To launch better smart home service packages, a service provider needs to have a certain scale of the customer base. As we just promoted the service less than a year ago, only 1 percent of our total subscribers use it for now,” he said, adding that he believes 15 percent is the magic number. “When over 15 percent of subscribers utilize the smart home package, the market takes off rapidly. Even though we are witnessing only 1 percent for now, our survey found that more than 10 percent have shown interests in the package.”

Theory of Evolution Hsieh is convinced that the smart home service is in a process of evolution, because consumer demands are constantly changing. “The current demand may not be right for our life after 10 years. I would say smart home is a kind of stacking evolution. So, as a service provider, we have to master the users’ scenario deeply and clearly,” Hsieh commented. While Hsieh believes opportunities are abundant, he also admits it is difﬁcult to ﬁnd a way to monetize on these opportunities, whether the market is driven by user demand or technology advancements. In the process of smart home evolution, especially in the era of the IoT, ”the core issue (or value) does not lie in the technical functions, but the service integration performance. So cross-industry horizontal collaboration is very critical. There are four layers of horizontal collaboration in the smart home: the device, the cloud platform, the services and the promotion. Of course, you have to have good quality devices. But without the other three elements, you will not have a good smart home service.” Hsieh further gave an example of horizontal collaboration – in home security, horizontal

Kbro Co. Ltd., a Taiwan-based sed Multiple System Operatorr able that offers CATV, digital cable es, TV and broadband services, has expanded its businesss by announcing a new line of service – “HomeSecurity”” or – to allow users to monitor m their homes remotely from a PC, smartphone, tablet,, or STB (with “SuperMOD” subscription). By bundling “HomeSecurity” with its cable TV and broadband services, the service provider brings greater ers value to existing customers as well as attracts new customers. From the angle of product sourcing, Kbro does see a good technology level in Taiwan.

Healthcare, the “Long Tail” From Hsieh’s perspective, among the five sectors of smart home, home entertainment will lead the growth and give impetus for home security and automation adoption. Meanwhile, healthcare can be the “long tail,” a sector for which demands are relatively low at the moment, but it can make up a market share in a long run. “Taiwan is renowned for its high quality medical care network. With that background advantage, we are seeing a lot of potential for remote elderly care in Taiwan because such services are lacking at this moment. For example, elderly fall prevention/notification is a good start, or an online consolatory system by providing the elderly with more personalized medical consultations. Furthermore, frequent communication to achieve a healthier mental condition can also be considered,” explained Hsieh. “The consolatory system can even be designed to be similar to the Uber” network!” From the angle of product sourcing, Hsieh does see a good technology level in Taiwan, “but the island has not presented a complete value chain of IoT to the world yet. More efforts should be devoted to facilitating horizontal collaboration and integration between software and hardware specialists. Such achievement will depend on the government, the industry, and each maker.”

collaboration can be collaboration between device providers, service providers and promoters.

“HomeSecurity” has three packages available to suit different household needs, ranging from a single IP camera for the Kbro Home Security Basic+ Package, an IP camera and emergency button & receiver for the Kbro Home Security Basic Package, to a more comprehensive combo including a hub, IP camera, motion and window/ door sensors, siren, remote and energy management device (optional) for the Kbro Home Security Advanced Package. The sensors communicate using the ZigBee standard. The plans start from NT$150 (approx. US$4.6) per month. Users can add additional devices for extra monthly charges. To sign up for “HomeSecurity”, subscription to Kbro’s ﬁbre optic broadband service (24M/5M or above) is required. The company offers both Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) and Fibre to the Building (FTTB) broadband services.

regardless of whether they come in Z-Wave or ZigBee protocols. JiĢi KoneĀný, CEO, ELKO EP

By Veronica Chen/Cindy Lin

ELKO EP Sees New Limelight in Its Quest for Mass Market Having perceived the growing smart home trend almost eight years ago, ELKO EP has persisted in propelling wireless solutions with its iNELS home automation system, which has garnered fruitful results in markets in Europe, including branches in Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, Germany, Austria, Spain, UAE, USA and others 66 countries. The iNELS system, which comes in two flavors – wired (BUS) and wireless (RF) – has made a strong imprint on a global scale in terms of intelligent home and building solutions. “Our solution enables the integration of third-party systems regardless of whether they come in Z-Wave or ZigBee protocols,” Jiŉí KoneĀný said, CEO of ELKO EP. iNELS RF, which operates wirelessly and is ideal for existing buildings, solves the problem where wire installation in the walls might be an issue. The system offers a centralized, remote switching of electric devices. “Our services are growing in Germany and Austria, an addition to our already strong presence in eastern Europe,” he said. iNELS BUS system, which transform an average house into a timeless intelligent household, can take charge of heating and air-conditioning, regulation, lighting control and switching home appliances, while also providing perfect security for the home.

ELKO EP, a Czech manufacturer of modular electronic devices which has been around for over 22 years, is a renowned specialist for modular electronic items, including relays, contactors, switches, dimmers, and thermostats.

ELKO’s automated solutions can be controlled via its downloadable app, which is compatible with Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android operating system on any given mobile device. According to ELKO, the company is moving aggressively towards home solutions by unveiling slews of smart kits in an effort to reach the mass market. While the company hopes to sell these smart kits to wholesalers, these kits will also be sold through retail channels such as Media Markt and Conrad. KoneĀný told SMAhome during IFA 2015 that one of the reasons they are selling kits is because they want to show consumers that smart home is not expensive or difﬁcult to achieve. “Contrary to our competitors, we are not afraid to provide customers with constant online (live) support, as our goal is to help users achieve full connected home solution rather than just selling individual devices,” he said. Commenting on ELKO’s plan to work with telecommunications companies, KoneĀný said it is currently in talks with Orange. Should the collaboration go through, it would help ELKO add another of its existing telco partnership besides Vodafone. The company currently has branch offices concentrated in Eastern Europe, but it is also growing presence in other parts of Europe. Branch ofﬁces in the United States and the Middle East were recently opened, KoneĀný said, adding that the main driver behind its business expansion is due to growth in the smart home lineup. For the U.S. market, the company is working on including HomeKit compatibility in its products.

What we are trying to do is to use web protocols and not proprietary protocols as a way to prevent the so-called ‘fragmentation’ in the connected space. Dominique Guinard, co-founder and CTO of EVRYTHNG

By Veronica Chen/Cindy Lin

EVRYTHNG makes every product smart “We provide a platform that connects any consumer product to the Web, and manages real-time data to drive applications,” said Dominique Guinard, co-founder and CTO of EVRYTHNG. Using web protocols, such a URLs, EVRYTHNG-enabled objects will be able to have all sorts of data associated with them, whether entered manually, scanned with a mobile phone or updated automatically via sensors attached to the objects themselves. While this sort of new-fangled notion may seem futuristic, the company wants to be the platform that enables devices to communicate via identity proﬁling, thus enabling direct interactions between consumers and those objects. “Through our platform, we provide a solution that bypasses the hodgepodge of protocols dotting the IoT sphere,” he explained. EVRYTHNG is shifting the digital media landscape by creating a new understanding between consumers and products, using a real-time data platform in the cloud to piece together a digitally connected real world where every product can launch any kind of digital content, application or service experience.

EVRYTHNG, a savvy software company based in London, New York and San Francisco, sees itself as a visionary in the emerging Internet of Things, where it manages the identity and authentication of everyday consumer products to have an online presence.

PARTNERING WITH BIG BRANDS

According to Guinard, its main target audience in the Consumer Electronics and Appliances space is the big brand device manufacturers, as those are the companies that produce large volumes of products for end-users. “In this market, our platform is really meant for large-scale device makers, as they are the ones that help us generate revenue through the sale of their products,” he said, noting that SDI Technologies, a major consumer electronics manufacturer plugged into 50 million U.S. homes and selling via major retailers in 70 countries worldwide, has selected EVRYTHNG to power its iHome smart products Control Cloud. “It really makes sense to adopt our platform when customers are able to use the solution we provide to sell a lot of their products.” By making smart product data easily shareable via open web protocols, manufacturers can easily connect with business partner systems to provide the best possible consumer experience to the mass market. This data management approach future-proofs smart products by enabling them to plug in to whatever app, interface, or service comes next in the evolution of connected products.

EASIER ACCESS VIA WEB PROTOCOL “What we are trying to do is to use web protocols and not proprietary protocols as a way to prevent the so-called ‘fragmentation’ in the connected space. While the IoT is supposed to make things easier to communicate and interoperate, the mishmash of protocols and alliances we have today will only complicate things further,” Guinard said. As the development and application of IoT accelerates, manufacturers need to create innovative consumer products that not only connect directly to the Web, but also have the ability to interconnect with a whole ecosystem of smart devices, apps and services that are now becoming commonplace in consumers’ lives, according to the co-founder.

HEAVY DEMAND IN HOME SECURITY While leading market research companies continue to reveal optimistic statistics of the growing home security and monitoring markets, a new survey published by Transparency Market Research showed that home security solutions will create US$30.3 billionworth of opportunity by 2022. This positive outlook has propelled an influx of manufacturers hoping to compete in the sector. As a speaker supplier based in Taiwan, Ozaki is transforming to make multiple mobile peripheral devices and is expected to showcase a plethora of wireless IP cameras for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Moreover, Phicomm, a Chinese manufacturer of home and professional routers, will be introducing its FC172 family care web camera to demonstrate the importance of home motoring. Besides monitoring related products, smart lock is also seeing a new limelight. Kaadas has recently partnered with Alibaba’s smart living business unit to launch its cloud smart lock aptly named the 5155 Alock. Meanwhile, ST&T will be providing its SmartLock series 1550/1560 for different protocols such as Z-Wave and Bluetooth. These products provide the anecdote on the security issue of the smart home industry.

CONVENIENCE IS ALWAYS A LURE Some products provide helpful functions of automation to simplify our daily lives. For example, Microbot Push wants to bring the button online because they think that it is the simplest method of all users’ interfaces. They hope users can control the button remotely using a smartphone or computer and can also automate Microbots-based devices. Hackey, designed by a Japanese company, is a Wi-Fi connected key switch. This conﬁgurable switch brings users a simple and easy way to control web-based services by just turning on the key. The functions include sending triggers, receiving business alerts, and opening the front door. Another concern about convenience is the integrated

function. Today, products are not just designed to serve a single purpose but are produced for comprehensive usage. FURo-iHome Robot is designed to provide four services including home view, home chat, family planner and home control to serve as a multifunctional smart home robot. Emoi Smart Aroma Diffuser Lamp Speaker integrates multifunctional features that include LED light, diffuser, Bluetooth speaker, alarm, and humidiﬁer. Not only do they provide easier accessibility, they also do not take up too much space in a room.

ENVIRONMENT-ORIENTED PRODUCTS Today, environmental awareness is becoming increasingly predominant, in particularly China, where industrial pollution often affects air quality in neighboring countries. As a result, several leading Asian manufacturers have turned to produce devices related to environmental monitoring. For example, Sooall, a Chinese company specializing in sound-related products, stepped into the smart home market by launching Sooair. Sooair is an environmental sensor designed to detect the air pollution. In addition to providing environmental data, Ambi Climate provides the learning ability to deliver optimal AC settings based on factors which affect user’s comfort. It works with any remote-controlled air conditioner via IR sensor. From the basic to complicated designs, these products are aimed to help users build up a better smart living environment.

INTERESTING IDEAS Some other products are designed with innovative and creative combinations. Mipow Playbulb provides users the liberty to customize their own indoor or outdoor fancy bulb garden by connecting different smart Bluetooth bulbs together. In addition, we never knew the relationship between cloud router and diffuser could be as close as in the Pisen Cloud Router WFR101N. Pisen Wi-Fi cloud router WFR101N is integrated with an air puriﬁer, diffuser and speaker together in one device for providing users a whole new image of a normal router. Moreover, the smart home system is still the noteworthy sector for Asian manufacturers. Grandland turingcat is the system that includes a turingcat connector, controller, sensor and smart plug. Users can link home IR, RF and Wi-Fi devices together through a turingcat connector that acts as the center of the system. With the turingcat app, people can control home devices remotely. Also, these devices can automatically adjust their learning curves based on user preference.

RWE Releases the Lemonbeat Internet of Things Protocol in North America

RemoteLock from LockState Works with Airbnb’s New Host Assist Program

RWE Efﬁzienz GmbH has extended access to the "Lemonbeat smart Device Language" (LsDL), a universal communications protocol for the Internet of Things, to developers and manufacturers of Internet-compatible devices in North America. As a common language for a variety of applications, wide adoption of Lemonbeat promises to remove the interoperability barriers that have previously hampered the development of IoT.

RemoteLock from LockState announced that it is one of the ﬁrst integrations with Airbnb’s new Host Assist program, launched at the Airbnb Open conference in Paris, France. Host Assist allows Airbnb hosts to connect with keyless entry companies, including RemoteLock from LockState, to easily coordinate guest entry by sending virtual keys/codes without the need to wait for guests, hide keys, or manually schedule times for access permission.Hosts can choose to integrate their Airbnb listings with RemoteLock. When a guest books with a listing that uses Host Assist with a RemoteLock, the booking information is automatically sent to the RemoteLock system, which then creates a code on the lock that will activate when the booking starts, and expire when the guest is scheduled to check out.

PREVIEW

DUBAI, UAE | JANUARY 17-19, 2016

INTERSEC 2016 The surge in demand for information security-related products in the Middle East has drawn the attention of international providers, many of which will be out in full force at Intersec 2016, one of world’s leading trade shows for security, safety, and ﬁre protection. The show will take place for the 18th time from 17-19 January 2016 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. Information Security is the fastest-growing section at Intersec. The new section was introduced in 2015 by organizer Messe Frankfurt Middle East in response to nearly half of the 27,000 trade buyers throughout the wider region requesting to see more information security companies at the threeday event. In response, major names such as American-based Dell Software, Infosec from France, and German players Antago, Rittal, and G Data Software are among dozens of companies in 2016 that will ensure the section will double in size over the previous year. “Government and private institutions alike understand that security is no longer just about buying decent locks, installing CCTV, and ensuring confidential papers aren’t left in company photocopiers,” said Ahmed Pauwels, CEO of Messe Frankfurt Middle East. “Investments in smart devices, cloud computing, and network connectivity, along with the increasing trend toward the Internet of Things (IoT) make organisations highly susceptible to cyber-attacks, leading them to boost spending on cyber security infrastructure. “Cyber-attacks are harder to defend against than physical break-ins, and can do far more damage, whether stealing intellectual property, leaving an organisation’s reputation in tatters, or effecting its ability to serve its customers – all of which have a big impact on the bottom line,” Pauwels added. G Data, one of the world’s oldest antivirus software providers is a debut exhibitor at Intersec 2016, and will showcase its full range of enterprise products, including Antivirus Business, Client Security Business, End Point Protections, and Patch Management. Elsewhere, Rittal, a leading international supplier of ICT software and security solutions, will be at Intersec 2016 with a full suite of physical security systems for IT infrastructure. The company will showcase a new version of its modular Micro Data Centre – a security safe for the physical protection of IT equipment from potential threats of ﬁre, water, smoke and unauthorised access. Other sections at Intersec 2016 include Commercial Security; Fire & Rescue; Safety & Health; Homeland Security & Policing; and for the first time in 2016, Smart Home and Building Automation. The dedicated annual showpiece will feature more than 1,300 exhibitors from 52 countries, spanning over 50,000 sqm at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. New features for 2016 include a Safety Design in Buildings Pavilion at the Fire & Rescue Section, and a Jobs and Careers Pavilion, bringing thousands

of safety and security professionals in touch with the right career opportunities. Intersec 2016 will also feature a two-day Fire and Safety Conference on 18-19 January, held in partnership with the Dubai Civil Defence, while Critical Infrastructure Conference, and Health & Safety Conference are also set to take place. Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Intersec is the flagship event of Messe Frankfurt’s global network of security and safety exhibitions, which include Secutech India, Secutech Taiwan, Secutech Thailand, Intersec Buenos Aires, Secutech Vietnam and Seguriexpo Buenos Aires.
