Description

Indoor electrical control system and method thereof

technical field

The invention relates to an indoor electrical control system and its method, in particular to an intelligent control through a message center and without circuit wiring.

Background technique

Traditionally, the only way to use switches or electrical appliances at home is manual switching, and users must move to the side of the switch or electrical appliances to operate. However, with the development of humanized technology, many more convenient and intelligent operation switches or electrical appliances are available. It is gradually invented and introduced into the lives of users.

In addition to the improvement of human operation, the non-traditional system of operating switches or electrical appliances with physical lines can greatly reduce the dependence of lines on interior decoration, especially when maintenance and repairs are required, it will save the trouble of wiring on many house structures. It can also provide another layer of protection for home safety on line fires. Therefore, the operation of non-physical lines can provide humanization, simple installation, beautiful home and another layer of security.

The most common way at present is the way of remote control or console. First of all, use the remote control method. This structure usually adopts a one-to-one mode. The remote control can only control the switch modules in the same area or within the information range of the same room. Therefore, the remote controls of different modules cannot be used interchangeably. If each module is equipped with A remote control is also a big problem in management, and it is impossible to control all switch modules in a specific area. Another way is to use the console control method. Generally speaking, the console must be installed in a specific area or room. It is difficult to assemble and set the console, and it is not easy to change the location in the future because of the wiring configuration problem, so only It is possible to control and check the status at a specific location, and it is impossible to control all switch modules in any area.

Further, combined with the control method of the above-mentioned console and remote control, although this structure has the advantages of the remote control and the console, the remote control can only control the switch modules in the same area or within the same room information range, so it still cannot control all the switch modules in any area. There are switch modules, and there are too many remote controls, and there is still the problem of inconvenient management.

Therefore, the traditional non-physical circuit operating switch or electrical system can only control the operation within the same area or within the same room, and it is difficult to realize one-to-many operation; in view of the above-mentioned technologies, it is hoped that the existing problems in the existing technologies can be solved. A control system capable of realizing indoor control switches or electrical appliances is provided, so that the switches or electrical appliances at home can be more conveniently and humanized to use and operate.
