　　无线连接使智能设备能够在家里和因特网上与其他设备进行通信。选择正确的无线协议，你将有一个良好的开端。

　　在厨房或浴室角落里闲置的单调乏味的家用电器的日子已经一去不复返了。今天的家电都是圆滑的，这是创新性和形式的最现代的家庭的主要功能设计。近年来，家电设计的一个重要发展趋势是智能家电。这些设备具有领先的技术，包括在家中和网络上与其他设备进行无线通信的能力。

　　智能设备制造商看到巨大的经济机会，不仅直接与领域的设备交流，而且与这些设备的用户进行交流。远程诊断和固件升级等服务可以使用户更加无缝。消费者也能获得经济上，通过去除重装家园通过无线连接的成本和障碍。

　　In today’s marketplace， green applications for smart appliances have begun to emerge that are centered around energy usage and monitoring. Services such as Google PowerMeter have enabled consumers to gain instant access to their energy usage data. In turn， having this information has provided consumers with the impetus to undertake measures such as signing up for cost-saving energy usage plans that are offered by their utility companies. Utility companies are rapidly deploying wireless-enabled smart meters that connect to Home Area Networks （HANs）， which allow them to provide load-control features to the smart appliances. The benefits are that the utility companies can better regulate their energy demands， collect valuable real-time usage data， and offer more suitable tiers of services to their customers. Using all this information， utility companies can more precisely predict and plan their future infrastructure expansion.

　　Manufacturers are able to bring wirelessly enabled smart appliances quickly to the marketplace by integrating two key building blocks into their products — wireless technology and advanced microcontrollers.
