NEW YORK,
May 31,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tuya
Smart (NYSE: TUYA, HKEX: 2391), a global IoT development
platform service provider, recently launched the world's first
5-inch Smart Control Panel Solution for smart homes that features
Matter and Alexa Built-in. The solution was
launched at the Connections 2023 conference in Frisco, Texas, with the potential to help
customers launch smart central control panels for international
markets more quickly and smoothly.
The launch is targeted at the North American markets and can
address issues with ecosystem compatibility and product connection.
Due to issues like their products not functioning when the network
has been cut off and not being compatible with the mainstream
ecosystem, many smart home device manufacturers are hesitant to
approach the international market. With the Smart Control Panel
Solution, customers can create independent, controllable, and more
distinctive smart home devices under their own brands based on
Tuya's PaaS2.0, which can be connected and controlled by a central
control panel, and further develop a comprehensive software and
hardware ecosystem and expand their smart home business into
international markets.
According to Parks Associates' report "Next-Generation Smart
Home: Building for the Future", published in April 2023, 41% of U.S. internet households have
smart home devices, and more and more homes are implementing smart
home solutions. The central control panel, with its graphical
screen and capacity to handle interactions between smart devices,
has gained popularity in the North American market.
The world's first Smart Control Panel Solution that
incorporates Matter and Alexa built-in helps customers realize
software and hardware ecosystem compatibility.
To achieve seamless product interconnection, devices must meet
the various environmental requirements and usage habits of users on
various occasions. For example, in the North American market,
manufacturers need their smart devices to work with popular smart
ecosystems like Alexa to better serve local consumers, but the
barriers to entry and deployment costs can be very high.
To solve this problem, Tuya Smart
has built a more suitable platform for customers to enter the local
ecosystem. Utilizing Tuya's Solutions for Matter, manufacturers can
make their Matter devices compatible with a variety of smart
ecosystems and brands, as well as easily interact with non-Matter
devices. Additionally, Alexa Built-in enables consumers to directly
control smart devices at home and complete multiple commands, such
as setting alarm clocks, listening to weather reports and
instructing robot vacuums, through Alexa's voice commands.
Moreover, the Smart Control Panel Solution provides
multi-dimensional support for customers. First, it connects to a
significant number of Alexa devices and Tuya-enabled smart
products, resolving the issue of isolated information exchange
across different brands and various product categories; second,
customers can develop their own brand of smart home devices based
on Tuya IoT Development Platform; and all these devices can also be
controlled through the Smart Control Panel Solution. This means
customers will significantly broaden their smart hardware reach
while the Smart Control Panel Solution penetrates the consumer
market.
Customers receive more from Tuya
Smart than just a screen - they also have access to
technology and ecosystem support. Customers can quickly enter
international markets by relying on Tuya
Smart's core technology and strong ecosystem, building a
customized smart home product portfolio with integrated IoT
solutions for software and hardware and using the Smart Control
Panel Solution as an entry point to promote new business growth,
improve their competitiveness in global markets, and seize
opportunities in the vast market, according to a Tuya Smart representative.
With Tuya Smart's robust edge
computing capabilities, the Smart Control Panel Solution enables
the central control panel to function without interruption even
when a large number of smart devices are connected. Its built-in
multi-module gateways, such as Zigbee and Bluetooth, can easily
handle cross-gateway communication, enabling localized control of
smart devices even in a weak or disconnected network
environment.
In addition, the Smart Control Panel Solution allows for
simultaneous connections of 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi
signals, ensuring that users can interact with smart devices and
central control panels without any interruptions when they are
connected to networks using various protocols.
Large model design applications and other solution advantages
help customers strengthen product competitiveness.
In the past, consumers had to put equivalent function buttons on
the wall or download various apps on their phones in order to
operate devices at home, which raised cost. The Smart Control Panel
Solution greatly improves the effectiveness of smart home
interactions, making it simple for even the elderly or young
children to get started. It does this by integrating all of the
conventional function buttons on a single screen and allowing users
to make commands to the TV, refrigerator, robot vacuums, speakers,
lighting fixtures, and other networked devices at home through a
variety of interactive methods. The Smart Control Panel Solution is
designed to be in line with the aesthetic standards and practical
requirements of users for its interaction experience, interface
design, and transformation standards.
In terms of interaction experience, end-users will get a "you
get what you see and what you touch" engagement experience, thanks
to the solution's multi-way interaction that combines voice,
vision, and gesture. For example, one can directly slide the screen
to precisely open or close curtains.
In terms of interface design, the flip-clock-themed screensaver
that is integrated into the Smart Control Panel Solution creates a
stunning and useful interactive experience, following contemporary
trends and making the area more lively. The Smart Control Panel
Solution features a total of five themes. Two of the themes, Desert
and Mystery, are designed and created through Midjourney to meet
people's individualized needs amid the rapid development of
generative AI technology.
To better help customers expand into the North American market,
the Smart Control Panel Solution comes ready to meet local design
standards, and such products meet the installation requirements of
local electricians. The Smart Control Panel Solution will enable
customers to help end-users realize smart homes by changing simply
one conventional switch. The replacement is inexpensive, highly
efficient, and suitable for renovation projects.
Smart central control panel will become part of the home
infrastructure. Tuya's innovations will enable customers to achieve
growth
Due to the growing popularity of smart central control panels in
overseas markets, they are becoming part of the home infrastructure
and playing a crucial role in the smart home scenario.
Prior to the launch of this new 5-inch Smart Control Panel
Solution, Tuya Smart successfully
launched the 4-inch, 3.5-inch, and 10-inch Smart Control Panel
Solutions. Through the continued exploration of numerous scenes and
accelerated deployment of various specifications and sizes of the
central control panels in the home, hotel, and other industries,
Tuya Smart will bring customers
richer application scenarios and market channels to further promote
the smart central control panels as part of the home
infrastructure.
Smart home connectivity is currently undergoing another
transformation through generative AI technology. Humanized
whole-house active intelligence will arise from the coupling of
generative AI and whole-house intelligence due to better machine
skills and memory capacity, which can learn and observe user
habits. Tuya Smart has already
started to plan the hardware and software ecosystems, multi-scene
applications, and other dimensions in the wake of this
technological revolution. As technology development continues,
Tuya Smart will continue to support
clients, forge unique competitive advantages, embrace the IoT
ecosystem, and achieve multi-scene and cross-industry smart
business development.
