AMAZON LEADS SMART HOME PLAYERS BY NARROWING GAP Alexa, without a doubt, is the smart home market’s current bellwether. The question is how long it can keep its leader position. Rivals like Microsoft, Apple and Google are all strong players and own resources needed to drive innovation. While Amazon entered the market a couple of years ahead of its competitors, other tech giants are caching up fast.

T

o some, smart home is considered the next frontier of technological innovation. Today the nascent industry is dominated by Apple, Google, Amazon, etc., and each company has its own proposition on how smart devices should be controlled. For Apple, it is using the Home app via iOS devices, while for Amazon, it is using Alexa voice command via its smart speakers. For early adopters of smart home, some believe voice command is the fastest and most intuitive way to control smart devices. A user may switch the light on simply by clapping hands or saying the word “on.” Amazon is the first company to introduce smart speakers. Before Alexa hit the market, there had been little consensus on how home automation should work, or what wireless protocols (Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, etc.) should be adopted. Amazon has also made its API available to third-party developers. The open-arm policy has led to the creation of more than 10,000 skills, which are apps in the world of Amazon Alexa. This is why Alexa is currently enabled in far more applications than other voice assistants are. “Alexa is popular because it’s very user friendly, it can be applied in everyday life, and

people have not used Siri in such ways,” said Shawn Lin, senior product manager at EQL Technology Inc. EQL makes hubs that relay signals from Amazon’s smart speaker Echo to a variety of home appliances. As such, users can turn on air conditioner, TV and lighting, etc. through voice commands. The company’s solution integrates exclusively with Alexa, and Lin said EQL chose the Alexa platform because “it has existed the longest, is the most mature, and has the broadest applications.” Another strength of Alexa lies in its voice recognition ability. According to Lin, Amazon’s development team has fed Alexa with voices spoken by people with different accent to improve its ability to distinguish spoken words, and improvements are constantly being made.

RICHER EXPERIENCE BROUGHT BY THE ECHO SHOW Consumers in general gave positive feedback on using Amazon Echo and the smaller speaker Echo Dot. A larger number of the products


has been shipped, and the number is still climbing. Amazon has launched more devices, namely the Echo Look and the Echo Show, in April and May, respectively. While the original Echo speaker is like a robot with ears, the Echo look has both ears and eyes, thanks to the added camera. The visual allows the Echo Look to provide senior care, intrusion detection and distance education, among other services. “The launch of Echo Show signals the important role that Amazon now views of visual presentation. In many cases, the product aims to provide information that otherwise cannot be easily conveyed through sound,” said Brian Sun, Technical Marketing Manger in China of Ayla Networks, an IoT cloud platform provider that offers solutions compatible with Alexa, HomeKit and Google Home. With the Echo Show, numbers can be presented clearly via pie charts or other graphic representation. For instance, changes in temperature and humidity in the house can be shown visually in a graph on the Echo Show. It is true that the same can be done on the screen of a smartphone, tablet or smart watch. But using the Echo Show will be so much easier, compared with taking out a mobile phone to open the app, and to tap the right button to view the information. With the Echo Show, users can simply voice the command to have the graphs shown on the screen.

The introduction of the Echo Show enriches user experience, and Ayla Networks views the new product as a positive development for the Alexa ecosystem, Sun concluded.

SHORTCOMINGS OF ALEXA That is not to say Alexa has no demerits. Voice assistants have different ways of interacting with users. For Alexa, it is a straight “one question and one answer” interaction mode, said B.K. Liu, Manager of Product Management & Strategic Partners Division at Jazz Hipster Corp., which manufacturers smart speakers that work with Amazon Voice Service. At this stage, Alexa will only respond when being asked a question, and the question that users utter has to be framed in certain ways. In a shopping experience, for example, users have to start the process by saying their intent to buy something, before saying the exact product, and then, they need to tell Alexa the amount. Google Assistant, on the other hand, can engage with users through a more natural conversation. Different from Alexa, this allows users to place orders through a one-sentence command. “Google Home speaker gives users the sense of a having conversation with a real person,” Liu said, adding that Google appears to own more advanced artificial intelligence, thanks to the knowledge it has accumulated from its powerful search engine. The other drawback of Alexa is the range of supported languages. Although Alexa entered the market earlier, it is lagging behind in terms of the languages it can speak. The absence of a language means the absence of a localized service. Alexa is now available in English and Germany, with Japanese expected to get onboard later this year. Google, however, announced it will soon support up to six languages. Professional smart home installers may have different views of the Alexa system.

Sun Woo Yoon, marketing manager of South Korea-based smart home solution provider Commax, said, “Amazon has a device that can win, if I make products that work with these devices, I can get good profit.” In regards to the new Echo Show, Yoon said it is a good product, but nothing more than a tablet PC. To Yoon, the Echo Show is like a secretary equipped with artificial intelligence, which he thinks is not very different from an iPad with added capabilities.

AMAZON WON BATTLE FOR THE DAY Alexa, without a doubt, is the smart home market’s current bellwether. The question is how long it can keep its leader position. Rivals like Microsoft, Apple and Google are all strong players and own resources needed to drive innovation. While Amazon entered the market a couple of years ahead of its competitors, other tech giants are caching up fast. In last month’s Google developer conference, the company announced an array of companies – including name brands like LG and GE – that will soon make products compatible with Google Assistant. Alexa may see its frontrunner position threatened as more device makers add Google Assistant compatibility. “The differences between Alexa and Google 10 mySMAhome.com 2017

Assistant are bound to narrow,” EQL Technology’s Lin forecast. While Amazon has the first-mover advantage, the world of technologies are constantly changing, and nothing stays the same for long in the consumer electronics sector. There have been tech firms that succeeded in dominating the market, only to lose it later. In the end, it’s about user experience, said Desmond Chan, Field Marketing Manager – APAC at Silicon Labs’ department of IoT Products. The semiconductor company makes systemon-chips to enable data transmission via zigbee, Thread, Bluetooth, etc. “The Alexa ecosystem has integrated many more devices, such as Phillips Hue, connecting them to the cloud,” Chan said, adding that Alexa is a comparatively more open system. Its cloud will do the computation, and it’s somehow different from Apple’s HomeKit system, Chan noted. Jim Yuan, Director of Hardware Engineering at home automation company Securifi, said, “As long as Alexa continues to offer language support, update its database, have support measures ready and bear consumers’ needs in mind, it is likely to maintain the leadership position in the next three years.”

Nightingale Sleep System

D

esigned by acoustics experts and audio engineers, Nightingale produces comfortable ambient sounds, called sound blankets, specifically tuned to mask unwanted noises. These sound blankets take into account user room’s acoustics – wood floors, windows, carpet – and sleep conditions like tinnitus, or snoring from an adjacent room. With Alexa integration, users will be able to tell Nightingale to launch a goodnight scene, or to adjust the brightness of the nightlight. Nightingale utilizes the walls to reflect sound blankets into the space from two different units, each with two speakers for maximum sound diffusion. This creates uniform and even coverage – and means the brain can’t perceive where the sound is coming from, making it blend into the background. Nightingale can also play a range of nature sounds to ease users to sleep. With 15 different sound blankets, Nightingale can reduce wake occurrences by masking common outdoor and indoor noises. Nightingale can be controlled via the mobile app and send weather and traffic alerts. • Nightingale • www.meetnightingale.com

TAIWANESE MANUFACTURERS WELL POSITIONED TO REALIZE SMART HOME AND IoT OPPORTUNITIES

The IoT is an opportunity for Taiwan because it is about integrating different ecosystems and different industries. The question is how to integrate solutions offered by gateway, platform, sensor, Bluetooth, ZigBee and app providers. Taiwan can be the source of technical expertise, while broader smart home applications can be realized overseas.

S

ince the notion of smart home first surfaced years ago, many businesses have dived into related development in the field, investing much resource and believing that smart home and the Internet of Things (IoT) will be the next big thing. However, the industry seemed to get off to a slow start, as market response has not been as warm as expected. Nevertheless, the IoT’s importance was never played down by the government, as countries around the globe, including Taiwan, have written smart home or IoT development into national development policies. After years of tepid growth, the industry might finally begin to take off, based on surveys conducted with Taiwanese exhibitors at SMAhome Expo 2017, the only trade show in Asia dedicated to the smart home industry. Howard Yeh, President of G-Light Technologies Co., said he has been in the industry for 10 years, and it is not until the last 2-3 years that the smart home industry started to garner momentum, because many “big shots” in the IoT industry, in raw material and system industries, for example, have stepped up. “I think it is undergoing rapid development,” Yeh said. G-Light has been an original design manufacturer working with large IoT companies based in the U.S. After seeing many mergers between service and IT companies in the U.S., Yeh believes the smart home market is gaining traction. There is also unmet demand. G-Light works with construction firms in Taiwan, and Yeh said many light-current systems in old apartments are in need of replacement. The company provides smart switches that can turn

20 mySMAhome.com 2017

on (and off) multiple lights for a “scene.” G-Light’s strength lies in combining electrical engineering expertise with lighting effect design. Home automation needs to create comfort while conserving energy, and this is what G-Light’s smart switches aim to accomplish. Its customers comprise of local distributors and foreign buyers.

STILL MUCH UNFULFILLED DEMAND Jack Lien, President & CEO of WFE Technology Corp., said he is “very optimistic” about smart home development in the future. WFE Technology Corp. is one of the main electronic lock providers in Taiwan, and about five years ago, the company started to install smart locks in new home projects. Its products are sold under the brand name of Waferlock, mostly in Taiwan.


The company works mostly on new home projects and is more confident about the potential in Asia. DIY products are more popular in western market due to local regulations.

TAIWAN MAY LEVERAGE ITS INFORMATION AND COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY

About three years ago smart home application turned more popular with the arrival low-power Bluetooth 4.0 and 4G, Lien said. Faster transmission is necessary to render user friendly experience, Lien said. “We decided to jump in (smart home) because 4G can provide more inclusive services.” There were hurdles of smart home implementation, including software and hardware issues and the high cost that are simply not acceptable to average consumers. However, the market became more mature in recent years, as the value, benefits and functionalities of IoT are now more relatable to everyone. “Consumers feel that smart home can bring real convenience, and perceive it not just a gimmick,” Lien noted. “Smart home implementation, especially in Taiwan, grew rapidly over the past two years. It is similar to 10-20 years ago when we pushed for electronic locks,” said Lien, who expects smart home adoption to grow as fast as electronic lock adoption in the early years. Lien says he personally believes smart home will be a norm in the future, largely because the new technologies’ feasibility and usefulness have outperformed the old ones.

James Su, President of Amroad

Charles Yuan, Senior Manager of IoT Business Development Dept. at Connection Technology Systems

Many local companies also believe Taiwan is well positioned to take advantage of the emerging IoT industry. Charles Yuan, Senior Manager of Connection Technology Systems Inc.’s (CTS) IoT Business Development Dept., said “Taiwanese companies are actually suited for the IoT industry, which ultimately is about providing services.” It requires collaboration between IT firms and professional service providers who possess the domain knowledge, in healthcare or security industries, for example. The know-how accumulated overtime is not something that traditional IT firms can copy, and their role is to help companies provide services better, faster and more effectively, Yuan said. IoT is an opportunity for Taiwan because it is about integrating different ecosystems, or different industries. The question is how to integrate services provided by gateway, platform, sensor, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and app companies. Taiwan can be the source of technical expertise, while broader applications may be realized overseas. CTS is a gateway provider that help platform clients – like cable operators and telecom companies – provide various smart home services, in security, healthcare and energy management applications, among others. For the past couple of years, the company has targeted Sweden and Norway markets where local governments have actively pushed IoT development. This year CTS is eying

Taiwanese companies are a good fit to the IoT industry which is about providing services. The IoT requires collaboration between IT professionals and service providers with domain knowledge in healthcare, security, banking and other industries.

MANY LAYERS OF TECHNOLOGIES REQUIRED FOR SMART HOME IMPLEMENTATION

opportunities in Japan, Taiwan and the U.S. Its IoT gateway has enhanced security mechanism built-in, uses the Z-Wave wireless protocol, and is designed with 3G/4G backup as well as backup battery to ensure continuous data flow.

FOCUS IN THE SOUTHEAST ASIAN MARKET James Su, President of Amroad, a provider of smart door entry and intercom systems, also believes the smart home trend will not stop. “The trend is bound to continue and the question is in what way do you intend to enter the market?” Su said. Given its information and computer technology expertise, Taiwan is an important base for smart home development, Su stressed, adding that there are many innovative ideas here. Amroad provides a comprehensive video-based system that includes intercom and access control designed for residential communities. The company works mostly with home builders and 80-90 percent of its clients come from abroad, mostly from India, Vietnam and Thailand. With 12 years of experience in the industry, the company is looking to expand its international customer base. The company will focus on Southeast Asian countries first, given these countries’ similarity in lifestyle to Taiwan’s. Deals can actually be made in an exhibition like SMAhome Expo, Su said. This year’s show is better because there were more visitors from overseas. However, there was much preparation beforehand. Over the years the company has made much investment on products’ aesthetic and technical improvement.

Howard Yeh, President of G-Light Technologies

Jim Shen, Executive Assistant to General Manager at Klacci

Jim Shen, Executive Assistant to General Manager at keyless lock provider Klacci, also believes that there is demand in the market. “Visitors to our booth consist of professionals from construction companies. They are very clear about their requirement,” Shen said. Shen is somewhat more conservative in his view on smart home development. “Every company has its own idea, but implementation is not as easy. There are many required technologies, which somewhat constraints what can actually be achieved. The concepts are there, but the implementation is not yet available.” “That’s why we want to differentiate ourselves from others, making products that are easy to install,” Shen said. The company aims to turn today’s everyday product, smartphones, into keys. The company makes door locks that can be unlocked through facial recognition, passcodes and/or fingerprint stored in a smartphone. The confidential information is stored in the cloud. Entry into the property is possible only after home owners have granted access.

he UK smart home M2M market will grow 24% annually between 2017 and 2021, according to a report released by market research company Technavio. Smart Home M2M is defined as a technology that has an intrinsic network, intelligent control system and home automation system as its basic components. The six major application segments in the UK, according to the report, are energy management and climate control systems, home appliances, lighting control systems, home entertainment systems, security and access control systems, and healthcare systems. Three market drivers are highlighted for contributing to the growth of the smart home M2M market in the UK. They are increased installation of smart meters, rise in the use of thermostats, and adoption of cloud-based technologies. A smart meter combined with an in-home display (IHD) offers real-time data about the use of gas and electricity. These smart meters help the consumer to monitor and control energy devices effectively using energy management systems (EMS). Therefore, peak demand rates and blackouts can be avoided by installing these devices instead of the traditional systems.

oughly one-third of U.S. broadband households are familiar with smart home devices, and there are even more people who see value in smart home devices, according to a research done by Parks Associates. There are more people who see value in smart home devices – including smart door locks, video door bells and networked cameras – than the number of people who are familiar with the products, indicating a robust opportunity for broader adoption and usage, says the research institute.

“More than one-fourth of households own at least one smart product, but only 12% own a smart home system,” said Tom Kerber, Director of IoT Strategy at Parks Associates. Smart Home: Quest for Compelling Use Cases from Parks Associates shows that nearly 70% of smart product owners own a device that is not connected to a smart home system and only 35% of smart product owners have the product integrated into a smart home system.

he smart home market is experiencing strong growth and is preparing the transition from “early adoption” to “the early majority,” says Tom Kerber, Director of IoT strategy at Parks Associates. “Natural language control and analyticsbased automation are simplifying the user experience and together act as a catalyst for the smart home market,” Kerber said. More than 100 million households out of the total 117 million in the United States

don’t have any smart gadgets at home, according to a report recently published by research firm Parks Research. While the rate of smart home adoption may seem slow, the research firm also pointed to the potential. Smart lighting will be the most common smart gadget at home since lighting is already the second-largest energy consumer at home, just behind HVAC. The report predicts that about 50 million U.S. households will have at least one smart light bulb by 2020. Consumers

are looking for easier ways to control the light while conserving energy.

oice-control technology is getting traction among smart home applications, and consumers have taken notice of it. According to research firm Park Associates, 55% of U.S. broadband households would like to use voice command to control smart home devices and entertainment gadgets. The report found that the positive response towards voice control showed

up more often among households which already have smart light bulbs, programmable thermostats, smart smoke or carbon monoxide detectors and smart garage door openers. Digital voice assistants have seen greater adoption among U.S. households than other new consumer electronics. According to a report released by Park Associates in March, voice assistant

adoption rose from 5% in U.S. broadband households in Q4 2015 to 12% in Q4 2016. The growing awareness and adoption of digital voice assistant, such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, heralded a rush of app development and product introductions by vendors, states the research.

ELDERLY CARE COMES IN GREAT DEMAND AMONG IOT APPLICATIONS:

FULL ENTERPRISE

I

n the innovative field of Internet of Things (IoT), healthcare related applications will be most sought after in the consumer market, according to Taiwan-based IoT solution company Full Enterprise Corp., which forecast the demand will surge between the third and fourth quarter of 2017. Speaking about the IoT, most countries in the world have not fully grasped the smart concept. Awareness grew from like 1 percent last year to 3 percent this year, according to James Yih, General Manager of Full Enterprise Corp. For this reason, companies are advised to enter the IoT market or the smart home industry from a different vantage point. “I don’t talk about smart home, but smart life, which encompasses every aspects of life – food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, entertainment and health care,” Yih said in an interview at SMAhome Expo 2017. Smart home is not a necessity, but smart life is, especially senior home care, he said. Founded 33 years ago, Full Enterprise initially focused on shipping hardware accessories used in telecom, LAN, media and computer industries. But has lately shifted focus to IoT and smart solutions. The company aims to establish a comprehensive system platform that includes hardware, software and backend systems, instead of focusing on hardware production. “How can you solve problems with just a few hardware devices?” Yih said. Full Enterprise has chosen to cultivate the healthcare niche. The company’s baby monitoring system, for example, measures infant health, body temperature, breathing, etc. to gauge babies’ overall health in the back-end system. All the data can be passed to a mother’s smartphone. The company also supply wearable devices to prevent old people’s accidental falling, which could be fatal or resulted in serious injuries. The devices, which can check the wearer’s state of health and location, are embedded in the clothes or shoes. A SOS button is included in the device which senior citizens can use to get help in an emergency. As mobile phones might not be accessible all the time, the device provides one additional layer of protection, Yih said.

CHINA WITH THE LARGEST POTENTIAL Internet has facilitated the spread of smart home knowledge across the world. And the adoption is currently determined

42 mySMAhome.com 2017

Humans have been seeking better life since the dawn of time, and “smart life” is bound to be the new trend. Full Enterprise has chosen to cultivate the healthcare niche. Many research institutes predicted the market will pick up in 2019-2020, but Full Enterprise believes the momentum will grow in the second half of 2017.

James Yih, General Manager of Full Enterprise Corp

by a key factor – the state of the economy. It’s usually people with deep pockets that can afford the new technology. In fact, some in Taiwan, China and Southeast Asia are very aware of the smart home concept and can also afford it. “But most importantly, they need it,” Yih said. The European market has stalled thanks to the recession and the migrant crisis it is experiencing right now. Parts of the Asian market looks promising. Full Enterprise’s booth received many potential buyers from Vietnam and Thailand, Yih noted. But the largest market is still China, given its population size and Beijing’s clear intent to launch smart facilities and senior care services across the country, Yih stressed, adding that the government has written the policy into laws to ensure its realization. Government policy and leadership play critical roles. The government of Taiwan has been advocating IoT development, while in China, the government’s push is even more obvious, especially in the field of senior care. “The government must have clear rules, so as to encourage R&D investment, innovation and transformation by the private sector.” When the government provides direction and sets the right policies, many companies will join in this endeavor, Yih added. The IoT discussion has been around for 3-5 years. Humans have been seeking better life since the dawn of time, and ‘smart life’ is bound to be the new trend, Yih said. Many research institutes predicted the market will pick up in 2019-2020. For Full Enterprise, the demand could surge earlier, between the third and fourth quarter of 2017, Yih predicted.

ASRCOK INTRODUCES ALLAROUND IOT ROUTER TO ENABLE HOME AUTOMATION ASRock believes a satisfactory digital life should be built on a well-connected and user-friendly environment. That’s why ASRock created X10, an all-rounder Wi-Fi router which also integrates IR and Zigbee connectivity. It allows users to manage, control and monitor smart devices of different brands with the X10 smart home app. The smartphone can be turned into a universal remote control for home appliances. For instance, users may turn on air conditioner or audio amplifier with the X10 app before arriving home. X10 can also carry out IFTTT-like remote control to enable home automation. Thanks to the broad range of sensors it supports, X10 works with devices like Philips Hue bulbs, GE smart bulbs, Securifi door sensors, ACEXP motion sensors and Swann siren. ASRock X10 provides four working modes, and can be turned into an access point or bridge network card easily. The ROUTER mode enables NAT and DHCP server capabilities besides serving as the Wi-Fi router. ACCESS POINT mode works with another SOHO router and provides W-Fi AP capability. The REPEATER mode sets X10 as a W-Fi repeater to enhance Wi-Fi connectivity. The BRIDGE mode works with another SOHO router and provides wire forwarding capability. ASRock

www.asrock.com

Even when the user is located in a foreign country far away from his home, X10's "machine to machine" (M2M) connecting technology enables secure and hassle-free connectivity across multiple NATs. Forget traditional setup methods such as fixed private IP, fixed public IP, DDNS, port forwarding and firewall rules. With X10, it is as simple as signing up for a new account and registering the router. The M2M direct connection is also much faster than traditional relay servers. Through users’ mobile devices, X10 IoT router enables geo-fencing and locationbased trigger command. The app will link users’ location information with relevant sensors which can be automatically triggered to send notification messages. For instance, when users leave home (if the coordinate of X10 router was set as home), the door sensor and alarm siren will be automatically set as "ON." When uses approach home, all the sensors will be automatically disabled. X10 supports multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output technology (known as MU-MIMO), allowing the Wi-Fi router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously. This decreases the time each device has to wait for a signal and speeds up the network. Considering that the average household has upwards of eight devices battling for bandwidth, MU-MIMO will improve users’ Wi-Fi experience. ASRock X10 also builds into isolate SSID, which enhances parental control by limiting Internet access. This can be done through schedule, key word or URL filters. Meanwhile, adults will be able to surf the Internet without filtering through the original SSID. ASRock X10 also provides another SSID for visiting guests. By isolating specific SSID, filter or schedule limitation imposed on one group will have no impact on another group. To facilitate integration with more potential partners in the market, ASRock is planning to make available the X10 API for sensor manufacturers. 886-2-28965588

HOME AUTOMATION TO BECOME UNIVERSAL WITHIN 2-3 YEARS: DOME

M

any exhibitors at SMAHome Expo 2017 have expressed confidence in the prospect of the smart home industry. One of them is U.S.-based Dome, whose co-founder Felix Chan believes smart devices will be as universal as smartphones within 2-3 years. Dome sells sirens, door sensors, motion detectors, leak sensors, etc. A more popular product, named the Water Main Shut-Off, is a valve that connects to leak sensor as well as smartphone. It allows users to close the valve from their phone when leak is detected. Users can do this when they are in the office, instead of coming home to a scene of water pool. This product also features easy installation. It mounts on an existing water pipe and no complicated dissembling is required. Dome entered the smart home industry 3-4 years ago. “We work with Z-Wave, and utilizing this platform to enter the market,” Chan said, adding that the company’s product marketing is still at an early stage. Besides common devices like sensors and siren, Dome also offers a unique product called Mouser, a smart mousetrap that is the first of its kind in the market. Mice that enter the cage will be instantly electrocuted. The trap connects to a smartphone so that users will be notified whenever a mouse is trapped and users can go on-site to remove it. Mouse cages are usually placed in hard-to-reach locations, and Mouser saves users the hassle to constantly go check if any mice have been caught on-site. All the Dome products showcased at SMAHome Expo are made in China; however, the company is not ruling out working with partners from other countries in the future, “given reasonable prices and amiable cooperation relationship” Chan said. “We will not constrain production to one country,” he said, adding that manufacturing in Taiwan or Eastern Europe is also possible. As Dome is based in the U.S., the company’s target market has been North America mostly. But after nearly four years in the industry, Dome wants to explore opportunities in other markets. The reason it was exhibiting at SMAHome Expo is to test the waters in Asia, Chan said.

Smart home is akin to a budding industry in comparison to other consumer electronics industries As such, there is still much room for development and growth. “The industry could still shine and we have much expectation,” said Felix Chan, co-founder of Dome.

Smart home is akin to a budding industry in comparison to other consumer electronics industries. “As such, there is still much room for development and imagination,” Chan said. “The industry could still shine and we have much expectation.” Consumer acceptance is the key to wider public adoption. “Since the notion of home automation is still very new, we need to do some education to the market,” Chan said. Chan said he has noticed that more and more people are entering the market. Innovation becomes critical to stay ahead of the game; as such, the products need to be improved and updated “every day, every month and every year,” he said. Compared with North America and Europe where people are more open to try new products, Asia has different lifestyles and more conservative attitude, which may be the reason for the region’s slower adoption of smart devices, Chan noted. He is still confident, however. “I believe smart home products will become more popular in 2-3 years, just like smartphones,” he said.

FLEX AUTOMATION EYES ASIAN MARKET IN ITS INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION

B

razil-based total smart home solution provider Flex Automation showcased its smart gateway and control panels at SMAhome Expo 2017 in Taipei, aiming to establish larger presence in the Asian market. Founded 13 years ago, Flex has installed complete home automation in the high-end market. Its installation includes lighting, air conditioning, door lock, blinds, biometric access door and home theater. Basically, the whole floor will be automated, in the living room, dining room, balcony, bedrooms, kitchen and toilet. Flex solutions have been installed in thousands of homes in Brazil. The company has offices in many countries around the world and is looking to introduce its services in Asia. What sets Flex apart in the smart home sector is that it aims to offer easy-to-install and flexible products and services, said Flex’s

Flex has an extensive experience with Z-Wave, since the company adopted the technology 12 years ago. Z-Wave is developed from the ground up for smartphone applications. The technology is known for its low radio frequency and low power consumption, says Flex.

Pascal Nathan De Simone, Co-founder of Flex Automation

46 mySMAhome.com 2017

Jean Pascal Nathan De Simone, in an interview with SMAhome. The company employs the Z-Wave protocol, a wireless standard widely adopted in smart homes because of its transmission reliability, security, low-power and interoperability features. In fact, Flex has an extensive experience with Z-Wave, since the company adopted the technology 12 years ago, even before Z-Wave Alliance was formed. Z-Wave is developed from the ground up for smartphone applications. Due to its low radio frequency and power consumption, radiation is negligible, says the company. Flex’s Jean is upbeat about the industry’s future development. There is potential for smart home in multiple parts of the world. He thinks some of the oil-producing countries in the Middle East present great opportunities. China is a big market too. Korea is not a market to ignore either. Its government has set the policy to have smart devices installed in every home in the country, according to Jean. Every country is different. While it is possible to install complete home automation in Brazil, it’s not as easy to do so in the United States, where DIY products are leading smart home implementation. Nevertheless, the U.S. is still a sizable market, Jean noted. Commenting on his experience at SMAhome Expo, Jean said from his perspective, this year’s exhibition is better than last year’s and that he has been busy talking to visitors at this booth most of the time. Flex provides sustainable solutions for both residential and commercial environments. The company’s mission is “to offer products that are easy to install, with intuitive, elegant interfaces, coupled with low-cost and flexible features.”

NETWORK OPERATORS EAGER TO ENTER HOME AUTOMATION MARKET:

DSP GROUP

D

SP Group, a provider of chipsets for voice activation and connectivity solution based on ULE for IoT , believes that in the future, smart home standards will be dominated not only by tech giants, but also telecom operators. While big names like Apple, Google and Amazon have all rolled out smart home platforms, such as HomeKit and Alexa, telecom operators also want a piece of the pie. Operators do have an edge in the field. They have a large number of subscribers that are used to purchase services from them, and therefore, expansion into the smart home business is a natural step. In addition, many subscribers already own a potential IoT hub, as more than 50 million home gateways are already installed worldwide with the DECT chipset embedded inside. Operators can simply upgrade the software running on the DECT chipset to turn gateways into home control centers. Regarding DSP Group’s target market, while Western countries have a larger smart home adopter population, the company is not ruling out the Asian market including Taiwan. In fact, DSP Group is trying to connect with local operators to explore opportunities to implement home automation. DSP Group has a huge presence in the DECT phone & gateway markets and the VoIP market. It also has a growing presence in the IoT and voice activation sectors. The company has been working closely with Taiwanese companies across all product segments. Tali Chen, DSP Group’s CVP of Corporate Development, said Taiwanese original design manufacturers have strong innovation and technical capabilities, allowing DSP Group to leverage its technology and facilitate broader implementation. Fast response and turnaround from the manufacturers, according to Chen, is another advantage of working with Taiwanese partners. “Together we can move really fast.” DSP Group wants to find more partners and it is a main reason for coming to SMAHome Expo 2017, Chen said.

It is the first time that DSP Group comes to the exhibition, and Chen said she expects repeat participation in the years to come. The show is very focused and relevant. “It’s not very big, but it’s good in our perspective, because then we are not talking to irrelevant visitors,” Chen said, adding that “We truly believe we’ll find long-term partners here.” In regards to the prospect of smart home, Chen remains upbeat. “From my perspective, I see a lot of opportunities in the smart home market. All the ones exhibiting here, including me, talk about very big numbers, and I think there is a lot of potential.” Chen pointed out, however, that there are still uncertainties, like who will be the right partner to work with and there are also many standards. It not very clear if there will be one standard, multiple standards, or interoperability between different standards, she said However, all these questions will be answered in the near term, Chen said. The reason is that consumers are starting to see the benefit of smart home and adoption is growing at a rapid pace. For example, there has been a huge increase in the adoption of Amazon Echo. “People really want to adopt such solutions,” Chen noted.

TAIWAN POISED TO TAKE CHARGE IN THE HOME AUTOMATION INDUSTRY:

DIALOG SEMICONDUCTOR

T

here are many opportunities for Taiwan in the emerging field of home automation since the country already possesses computer and networking expertise, which are critical in smart home implementation, said Ralf Kilguss, Dialog Semiconductor’s Sales Country Manager based in Taiwan. Kilguss made the comment in an interview at SMAhome Expo 2017, a smart home exhibition organized by Messe Frankfurt New Era Business Media. Smart home is not just about simple things like automate light switching, Kilguss said. There are also medical and senior care applications, and many Taiwanese companies have begun the endeavor, making devices that track blood pressure and blood sugar levels, for example, Kilguss said. The notion of Internet of Things (IoT) and home automation were not commonly known in Taiwan, due to the lack of wellknown companies investing heavily in the industry. This is starting to change, however, in the last 2-3 years, Kilguss pointed out, noting that there are even “companies that we never heard of” starting to study home automation. Even big players like Quanta Computer and Foxconn have established R&D centers that focus on home automation study. Asked what has fueled the change, Kilguss said industry standards play a big part. “There was home automation since I was little, but without a common standard, every company just establishes their own.” But with standards like Apple HomeKit, Thread and those of other alliances, home automation can be enabled relatively faster, he said. Given Taiwan’s strength in computer knowhow and its close tie to smart home applications, Kilguss believes home automation presents a great opportunity for Taiwanese businesses. Taiwan has many original design manufacturers

Given Taiwan’s strength in computer knowhow, home automation presents a great opportunity for Taiwanese businesses. Taiwan has many original design manufacturers and their advantage lies in making valueadded products, which are developed based on established standards.

(ODM) and their advantage lies in making value-added products, which are developed based on established standards. Dialog is aware of this development, of course, because all the OEM from Taiwan are its potential customers. Dialog wants to be ready to supply its turnkey solutions when Taiwanese companies decide to jump in automation manufacturing. Dialog offers single-chip solutions that support Apple HomeKit and the Thread protocol, while the former capability has been certified by Apple. Since Dialog specializes in power management, its system-onchip boasts the lowest power consumption feature, according to Kilguss. Kilguss believes Dialog’s solution will lower the barrier for smart home device development. The company’s DA14681 HomeKit Development Kit supports all Bluetooth low energy profiles and provides wireless connectivity to a variety of battery-powered devices. Dialog’s SmartBond DA14585 is the smallest, lowest power and most integrated Bluetooth solution available. Possible applications include remote control, connected medical devices, wireless charging, just to name a few.
