The situation needs to be changedAccording to industry insiders, smart home brands are fighting each other, products cannot achieve cross-brand interconnection, poor practicability, and price systems are chaotic, which are still headaches for smart home users.
Although the smart home ecosystems of manufacturers such as Xiaomi and Amazon have been perfected, for example, Xiaomi has launched corresponding products for every scene in the home. The same is true for Amazon. Amazon allows users to use their own brand in any scenario. Just as foreign giants such as Google are benchmarking against Amazon, so does the new domestic giant Suning, whose goals are also aimed at the smart hardware ecosystem. Therefore, when Suning released the top ten hardware products, it also released the smart brain BiuOS, announced the open smart module, OS system and IOT standard agreement, and established Suning Smart Biu+ Ecological Alliance Exhibition with industry partners.
Experts say that the vision of "Internet of Everything" in the Internet of Things should not be shattered by the reality of "divide and conquer".
Not moving forward, vivo announced the vivo IoT strategy and IoT software product Jovi IoT. Vivo stated that they hope to form a "standard that everyone abides by." It should be said that "unified standards" are not only good for vivo, but also promote the free choice of the entire industry and consumers. But experts also said that standardization is not easy. Because everyone wants to get more market pie, everyone wants to establish standards based on themselves. Therefore, the fundamental solution needs to start from the legal and policy levels, and more national standards are required.
