4、Smart Scene Switch Advanced Applications
4.1 Cross-space dynamic scene (follow-up lighting system)
The cross-space dynamic scene of a smart home, especially the follow-up lighting system, is an important application to improve living comfort. The system can automatically adjust the brightness and color temperature of lights in different spaces according to the user’s location and activities, creating an intelligent living environment.
1. Implementation principle
The follow-up lighting system relies on the positioning function of position sensors and mobile devices. When a user enters a space, the system detects the user’s approach through sensors and automatically triggers the preset lighting scene. For example, when the user moves from the living room to the dining room, the system automatically dims the living room lights, turns on the main lights in the dining room, and adjusts the brightness and color temperature of the lights according to the user’s activity mode.
2. Technical details
① Sensor installation: Install position sensors, such as infrared sensors or ultrasonic sensors, in each space that needs to be linked. These sensors can detect the user’s approach and movement trajectory.
② Mobile device integration: Integrate the user’s smartphone or other mobile device into the system, and use the device’s GPS or Bluetooth signal for more accurate location positioning.
③ Scene programming: Preset the lighting scene mode of each space in the smart scene switch, including brightness, color temperature, and lighting combination. Set scene trigger conditions through programming, such as “when the user enters the living room area, turn on the living room lights and adjust to a warm color temperature”.
④ Data processing and communication: The system needs to process sensor data in real-time and send instructions to the corresponding lighting equipment through wireless communication protocols (such as Zigbee, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth) to achieve rapid response.
3. Practical application
Home theater mode: When the user enters the home theater area, the system automatically dims the main light, turns on the atmosphere light, and starts the projector and sound system.
① Night mode: When the user approaches the bedroom, the system automatically lowers the light brightness to create a lighting environment suitable for rest, and links the smart curtains to close.
② Emergency lighting: When abnormal movement is detected (such as getting up suddenly at night), the system automatically turns on emergency lighting to ensure the safety of the user.
4. Advantages and challenges
Advantages:
① Improve living comfort without manual operation of lighting equipment.
② nergy saving and environmental protection, reasonable allocation of lighting resources according to actual needs of users.

By combining these biometric technologies with smart scene switches, more intelligent and safe scene triggering can be achieved.
1. Fingerprint recognition application
Fingerprint recognition technology is a mature and widely used biometric technology. Ina smart home, fingerprint recognition can be used in the following aspects:
① Smart door lock control: Through fingerprint recognition smart door lock, users do not need to carry keys, just need to verify the fingerprint on the door lock to open the door. The system can record the time and user information of each door opening, which is convenient for subsequent queries and management.
② Scene mode triggering: When the user enters the home, fingerprint recognition can be linked to the smart scene switch to trigger the preset scene mode, such as turning on the living room lights, adjusting the air conditioning temperature, etc.
③ Visitor management: Provide temporary fingerprint authorization for visitors, allowing them to enter the home within a limited time, and the system will record the visitor’s activity track to ensure family safety.
2. Face recognition application
Face recognition technology is more widely used in smart homes, not only in the field of security but also in triggering and personalizing smart scenes.
① Family member identification: By pre-entering the facial features of family members, the system can identify the identities of different family members and automatically adjust the status of smart home devices according to their preset preferences. For example, when a child is recognized to enter the room, the system will automatically lower the TV volume and adjust the light brightness.
② Visitor management: The system can record the facial features of visitors and set visitor permissions as needed, such as allowing visitors to use certain smart devices within a limited time.
③ Abnormal behavior detection: By continuously monitoring the facial features and behavior patterns of family members, the system can identify abnormal behavior, such as when a stranger tries to enter the home, trigger the alarm system, and notify family members.
3. Linked security system
The linkage of biometric technology and smart scene switches can realize more complex security scenes.
① Multiple authentication: Combining fingerprint recognition and face recognition, the system can provide a higher level of authentication. For example, users need to pass fingerprint and face recognition at the same time to trigger a specific scene mode.
② Scene linkage: When unauthorized persons are detected entering the home, the system not only triggers the alarm device but also links the intelligent scene switch to turn off all power devices in the home to prevent potential safety hazards.
③ Personalized security settings: Set personalized security scenes according to the different needs of family members. For example, set a specific safety area for children. When they leave the area, the system will issue a reminder and trigger corresponding security measures.
