IoT networks at home

The best practice for setting up an IoT network at home typically involves using home Wi-Fi, BLE, and Thread. When designing IoT applications for home use, such as monitoring temperature and humidity, smoke detectors, security cameras, and pathway lighting, it is important to prioritize simplicity, affordability, and ease of use for customers. Consequently, the architecture is specifically designed to meet the needs of residents, providing a friendly and enjoyable user experience.

Home Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi, short for Wireless Fidelity, is a low-cost wireless communication technology that enables devices to connect to the internet and communicate with each other without physical cables. It complies with IEEE 802.11 standards and utilizes unlicensed radio frequency bands, typically 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E). The home Wi-Fi network follows a star topology, which offers much simplicity and easier installation. In most cases, a home Wi-Fi router can serve up...
