3 frequent mistakes when talking about the home«Internet of Things»

Mistake 1

IoT devices are always online, otherwise it is not the IoT

Mistake 2

The market is full of outdated automation systems which will be substituted by IoT devices from the world leaders when their time comes.

Mistake 3

A little more time and clients will not be afraid of this novelty – all systems will work on the basis of wireless protocols and via «clouds».

90% of buildings do not have any control system

Any car has 100-400 sensors and actuators

Typical control in a new home in 2015

From 10 control devices and more at the moment

Twofold increase each 3 years

About 20 control devices in 2017

4 system types in each home

Motorized units

Two approaches to the Smart home/building automation market

• Sales via installers

• Equipment, design and installation are from one company

• Installed systems will not work without involving specialists

• Prices for devices includes both distributor and dealer charges

User approach• Sales via stores

• Installation without any outside help is possible

• Prices are lower, charges for «premium-class» solutions only

• Wireless solutions only

Variant 2:

Something that users the IP protocol and can be online or work locally.

Installation concept of «Smart Home»

What lays claim to a part of the new home budget

Will the IoT «kill» the market of professional integrators?

Did IKEA «kill» the market of professional designers?

How much does a client pay for all engineer systems?

Up to 50% of the apartment/house cost

Clients will pay the money only to professionals they trust.

Considerable costs. But…

Main Rules of the Installation Market

You can survive on the market only when you have:

1. Quite expensive products2. Products which are not available for

purchase/installation without involving third parties

otherwise installers will not be able to cover their expenses

Good installers always prefer:

1. Wired devices to wireless2. Something that works well offline (not

in the cloud only)3. Devices which do not require constant

maintenance (do not update daily)

The installation market grows at a fast rate

Crestron: came to 1 billion of the USD turnover in 2014 (indicatively)

ABB, Schneider Electric: the segment of integrated control systems grows faster than other market segments

User concept of «Smart home»

Devices which can be sold via stores

Z-Wave

• Mesh net

• Unites hundreds of manufacturers

• Simple setting of devices

• Easy interaction of devices by different manufacturers

ZigBee

• Mesh net

• Standard IEEE 802.15…

• Difficulties in interaction of devices by different manufacturers

• Support of some “installation” brands

Leaders of the User Market & “Smart home”

What will happen if a leader(Apple/Google, etc.) enters the market?

Google / Samsung

• Google buys Nest for 3.2 billions of the USD

• Samsung buysSmartThings

• Google Nest, Samsung, ARM form Thread wireless platform, based on IPv6

Thread

• Must integrate advantages of Z-Wave, ZigBee, IPv6 & add its own ones

• 6LoWPAN

Apple

• Along with iOS8 HomeKit platform is offered

• Many manufacturers announce support

• Apple TV 4 can be looked upon as a controller of devices

Leaders of the User Market & “Smart home”

Apple and Google are already morally dominating the market & developing it

Conclusion: both IoT markets are growing & developing

Installation market:

Provides the basis for maximally safe work of critically important systems.

On the first stage it develops faster, then its growth slows down (but continues to grow).

User market:

Attracts new users, spreads the idea of the “Smart home” among a lot of people.

Fills homes with additional functions when the house decoration is already done.

Leaders begin to understand the importance of the installation market
