The application of IoT technology has brought opportunities to the traditional home appliance industry. Major home appliances manufacturers have invested in the research and development and manufacturing of IoT technology products, and competition in the Internet of Things (IoT) appliance market has become increasingly hot. For example, Gree Electric Appliances and China Mobile have launched comprehensive cooperation in product development, technology innovation, application promotion, etc. of the “Internet of Things”, making the “Internet of Things” concept from reality to reality: without going home, you can input instructions through your mobile phone. The home air conditioning switch, mode, wind speed, temperature and other functions for all-round remote control.

With the Internet of Things technology, home appliances can form an unimpeded network with home appliance manufacturers, security terminals, business platforms, and mobile phones. Through remote control, home appliances can be easily and conveniently delivered. Appliance manufacturers can also provide better after-sales services by monitoring the status and data of each appliance during use. With the promotion of Internet of Things technology, the degree of intelligence in home appliances will undoubtedly be qualitatively improved. The integration of information technology and traditional home appliance industry will profoundly change people's lifestyle. For the home appliance industry, the appearance of the Internet of Things has allowed home appliance manufacturers to see new development opportunities and growth points, which will provide a significant boost to the slower development of the home appliance industry.

The management of various Internet of Things (IoT) appliances continues to emerge, but the current Internet of Things (IoT) appliance industry still lacks a unified standard. It is still some time before the Internet of Things (IoT) appliance products will be used for large-scale commercial applications and will enter thousands of households. To realize the interconnection of the Internet of Things and the realization of electrical appliances, home appliances must have standardized and mutually connectable information interfaces. At present, China's various standards for IoT home appliances are still at the initial stage. The inconsistency of standards directly restricts the layout and promotion of the Internet of Things home appliance industry. In addition, the R&D technology and capabilities of China's IoT devices need to be further enhanced. The cost of most IoT home appliances is much higher than that of traditional home appliances, and it is also a constraint factor that needs to be broken through. Relevant departments should promote the gradual establishment of a unified industry standard, and strengthen the core technology research and development, informatization and other aspects.
