Smart home gateway and networking method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a smart home gateway and a networking method thereof. The networking method comprises the following steps: a master gateway setting instruction of a client side is received and an own mode of a gateway is set into a master gateway; or, a slave gateway setting instruction of the client side is received and an own mode of the gateway is set into a slave gateway; when the gateway is used as the slave gateway, the gateway configuration information of the slave gateway and the governed equipment information detected by the slave gateway are reported to the master gateway, and a control command from the master gateway to the governed equipment is received and forwarded to the governed equipment; when the gateway is used as the master gateway, the governed equipment information detected by the master gateway is recorded, the slave gateway configuration information and the governed equipment information of the slave gateway, which are reported by the salve gateway, are recorded; the recorded equipment information is displayed to the client side, a control command to the equipment from the client side is received, if the control command is a control command for the governed equipment of the master gateway, the control command is sent to the governed equipment; if the control command is a control command for the governed equipment of the slave gateway, the control command is sent to the governed equipment. According to the invention, the networking scale of a smart home network can be improved, and meanwhile the operation complexity can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of smart home, in particular to a smart home gateway and a networking method thereof. Background technique [0002] The smart home gateway is the core of the smart home. In the development process of the smart home field, solutions centered on the smart home gateway are widely adopted. The smart home gateway is an intermediary between users and terminal devices. Various device connection protocols are implemented in the gateway, and the gateway provides IP communication externally. In this way, the differences of various protocols are shielded, which is beneficial to deployment and user use. [0003] In the field of smart home, smart home gateway plays an important role. figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a typical single-gateway smart home structure in the prior art. see figure 1 , the main functions of existing smart home gateways include: smart home gateways manage and connect various household dev...

Problems solved by technology

At this time, end users need to connect to two gateways, and need to set up and manage them separately, which is very inconvenient for multi-gateway networking

[0013] c) When there are multiple gateways, it is not easy to carry out centralized management: for example, when restarting some gateways or upgrading some gateways, it is necessary to operate one gateway at a time, which is complicated to operate and inconvenient to manage
