According to foreign media The Verge reported, due to the advent of smart home system Z-Wave, smart sofa is becoming a reality - the sofa contains chips to get the information to other places in the home.Z-Wave company Sigma Designs Monday Announces the launch of a new chip, claiming that a button battery can be more than 10 years of battery life.
Sigma Designs hopes that extending battery life will allow more and more components in our homes to be connected, including our furniture, and the company said that in addition to long battery life, the Z-Wave 700 Series chips also have 300 feet of coverage, so it can be used outside or outside the yard placed gadgets.
These are simple, low-power chips, so they can not be used for anything particularly complicated. Sigma Designs recommends that these be used primarily with sensors - for example, one to detect water leaks or movement.
The disadvantage with this chip from Sigma is that it only works with Z-Wave systems, which means that if your home is connected using a smart home service that's easier to access (like Alexa or Apple's HomeKit), you need a platform that connects multiple platforms Hub to connect any Z-Wave device.
