Smart switch and smart home system using the smart switch

Abstract

A smart switch applied to a smart home system is connected to a power supply and at least one electronic device. The smart switch includes a screen, a power detecting unit configured to detect real-time electrical information of the electronic device, a processor unit including a calculating module configured to calculate total electricity consumption of the electronic device and a control module configured to control the screen to display instantaneous electrical information and the total electricity consumption, and a communication unit configured to connect the smart switch to a gateway of the smart home system in wired or wireless manner, and send the electrical information and the total electricity consumption to the gateway. A smart home system is also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an intelligent switch and an intelligent home system using the intelligent switch. Background technique [0002] Existing switches are usually arranged on the wall or on the ground, and users can control the power supply of home appliances / various electrical appliances by controlling the switches. Some switches are equipped with sockets and indicator lights, and the indicator lights can be used to indicate the power status of the corresponding sockets. However, the existing switches are mainly used to control the power supply of electrical appliances / electrical equipment, and cannot obtain relevant power consumption parameter information of the electrical equipment. Although some patent documents mention that the switch provided in the smart home system has the function of detecting and displaying the voltage, current, and power consumption of the electrical equipment, but the user still cannot know the function of the electri...

Problems solved by technology

However, the existing switches are mainly used to control the power supply of electrical appliances / electrical equipment, and the relevant power consumption parameter information of the electrical equipment cannot be obtained.

Although some patent documents mention that the switch provided in the smart home system has the function of detecting and displaying the voltage, current, and power consumption of the electrical equipment, the user still cannot know the function of the electrical equipment through the switch connected to the electrical equipment. Information such as the power consumption consumed by electrical equipment, therefore, the existing switches cannot meet the needs of users
