An integrated smart lighting and connectivity solution
In smart building applications, lighting is a fundamental feature of the infrastructure. In addition to energy-saving and efficiency goals achieved through smart lighting control, Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology enables indoor positioning and data transmission, offering an integrated solution for smart lighting and connectivity. This article will introduce the development of VLC technology and the related solutions provided by onsemi.
A solution for low-power wide area network smart applications
Apart from indoor smart building applications, for outdoor IoT applications in smart buildings/cities, a different set of requirements is needed. These applications require transmission technologies with longer range, lower power consumption, and often operate on battery power with the need for multi-year battery life. In such cases, Low-Power Wide Area (LPWA) network technologies become the preferred choice for these popular applications. This article will introduce the applications and development of LPWA networks and the related solutions offered by Murata.
The KNX solution for improving energy efficiency in smart buildings
With the growing concern of energy scarcity, efficient utilization of energy for energy saving in a smarter way has become a crucial element in smart building applications. KNX is an open standard for commercial and residential building automation. In this article, we will introduce the development of the KNX standard and its applications, along with the related solutions that support KNX technology.
An optical sensor solution for minimizing false activations in smoke alarms
Smoke alarms are essential devices in buildings to detect fires early and mitigate potential risks to life and property. However, false alarms from smoke alarms can be a nuisance in daily life. Being able to differentiate between smoke from cooking or bathroom steam and smoke indicating a real fire can significantly reduce false alarms. This article introduces the testing requirements for smoke alarms and how optical sensor modules, such as those offered by ADI, can be applied in smoke alarm designs.
