Wi-Fi<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Do you have an existing Wi-Fi network in your house? Suddenly everything becomes easy. The smart home appliances are designed to function with the existing Wi-Fi network. However, too many appliances connected to the same network can slow down the response from those devices. Keep in mind that Wi-Fi is a power-hungry technology.<\/p>

Li-Fi<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

This relatively new technology uses light for device communication. Using the Li-Fi technology comes with some advantages such as a wider bandwidth channel, functions in areas susceptible to electromagnetic interference and has a notably higher speed. Those of you who are energy conscious, you might want to take into consideration this technology. It is also preferred over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or IR.<\/p>

Bluetooth<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

The good old Bluetooth is now used by companies that produce smart light bulbs and smart door locks. Using this technology in a wireless home automation system comes with some advantages. It consumes less power than the previous protocols and we can connect multiple products that have the same connectivity features.<\/p>

Z-Wave<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Using the same protocol as Wi-Fi, radio frequency, the Z-Wave technology is in many ways different. It is energy-saving, enhances the communication between devices and is compatible with many brands. The protocol applies to thermostats, windows, security systems, locks and even to swimming pools.<\/p>

ZigBee<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Initially built for a commercial purpose this advanced protocol is now in residential usage as well. It is a low-power, low-cost based on radio frequency protocol used to create personal area networks. The protocol is highly customizable, can operate on multiple devices at a time, uses less power and can eliminate the battery usage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
