Embodiment 1

[0034] like figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a USB bridge 10 for smart home, which is connected with a host computer 30 as a control host for smart home, and the smart home adopts Z_Wave network communication. The USB bridge 10 includes a Z_Wave communication unit 11 , a power management unit 12 , a first USB interface unit 13 , a storage unit 14 and a low voltage detection unit 15 .

[0035] The Z_Wave communication unit 11 of the USB bridge 10 includes a Z_Wave signal processing unit 111 and a Z_Wave data transceiving unit 112 for incorporating the control host into a Z_Wave network. The Z_Wave signal processing unit 111 includes a Z_Wave chip U2 whose model is SD3402, and communicates with the host computer 30 through the first USB interface unit 13 . The Z_Wave data transceiving unit 112 provides a Z_Wave network data transceiving channel for the Z_Wave signal processing unit 111 .

[0036] The first USB interface unit 13 is used to provide a communication int...

Embodiment 2

[0048] like figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a USB control system for smart home, including the USB bridge 10 for smart home in Embodiment 1, and also includes a lighting controller 20 and a host computer 30 . The upper computer 30 includes a second USB interface unit 31 , a signal processing unit 32 and an upper computer application interface 33 ; the lighting controller 20 includes a Z_Wave communication unit 21 connected to several lamps.

[0049] The host computer application interface 33 of the host computer 30 is used to provide a human-computer interaction interface for the USB control system, and send the input control signal to the signal processing unit 32 for processing.

[0050] The signal processing unit 32 of the host computer 30 is used to process the received control signal, and send the processed control signal to the USB bridge 10 through the second USB interface.

[0051] The USB bridge 10 receives the control signal sent by the host computer 30 ...

Embodiment 3

[0058] Different from the second embodiment, the USB control system provided by this embodiment further includes a signal amplifier. The signal amplifier is located between the USB bridge 10 and the light controller 20, and is used to amplify the transmission signal between the USB bridge and the light controller. The USB control system can effectively realize the signal amplification of sub-nodes in the Z-WAVE network, reduce the interference signal during data transmission, facilitate the signal transmission between sub-nodes or control hosts and sub-nodes, and make the smart home control system more accurate.

[0059] like Figure 7-15 As shown, the signal amplifier includes a power supply module, a z-wave signal processing module, a signal amplification module, a flash memory module, and a data input module.

[0060] The data input module is connected to the z-wave signal processing module, and the z-wave signal processing module is connected to the data input module and...
