Group control method for home equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to a group control method for home equipment, belonging to the technical field of smart home devices. The group control method for the home equipment comprises the following steps: a main control device receives the group command configuration information sent by a configuration terminal, wherein the group command configuration information comprises a key number, a multicastIP address and a group control command to be configured; the main control device sends the group control command to the multicast IP address; controlled devices receive and execute the group control command, wherein one or more controlled devices join the same multicast group. The technical problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a group control method for home equipment which can improve the network transmission efficiency and effectively avoid the broadcast storm.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of smart home devices, and in particular relates to a group control method for home devices. technical background [0002] In the smart home system, if you want to realize one-key quick operation of multiple devices, you often use the scene function. Traditional scene functions mostly store scene control commands in the local gateway or cloud server. When a scene control request from an operation terminal such as a mobile phone or a panel arrives, the local gateway or cloud server queries the scene control command according to the scene number in the scene control request. , and send control commands to the terminal equipment in turn. [0003] The way this command is sent is unicast communication, and the core of the scene function is placed on the gateway, which is conducive to the realization and expansion of the function. There are two main disadvantages. One is that the network structure of the entire ...

[0005] However, we should note that when broadcast communication is used, all terminal devices in the entire system except the terminal devices in the scene will also receive scene control commands, which is unnecessary and will easily cause broadcast storms and affect network transmission ; In addition, for the situation of controlling multiple terminal devices of the same type, if the scene function is used, it is not only necessary to configure commands for each device, but also to use broadcast communication to affect other terminal devices not in the scene. Become inefficient and affect the network stability of the entire smart home system
