BASIC ASPECTS OF SELECTING AND USING COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS FOR A SMART HOME SYSTEM

The article considers SMART technology, in particular smart house and basic communication protocols used for data exchange. Smart house technology additionally bears the name «home automation». Home automation in modern conditions allows the user or consumer to flexibly manage and independently configure the system, depending on the requirements of the user. One of the stages of customization of smart home technology is the selection of communication protocol for data exchange within the smart home system. To implement data exchange in smart home technology, it is necessary to properly approach the choice of communication protocols. Smart home technology uses several types of devices: controllers, sensors, acoustics. Since not all devices support existing protocols, there are also unique devices that support several of the existing protocols. There are several protocols used in smart home technology: ZigBee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi. In this article the analysis of two main wireless protocols operating at high frequencies, namely ZigBee and Z-Wave. Correctly selected protocols implement fast data transmission without loss. In addition, it will be possible to realize the needs of the user or user, which are set by the system.
