Introduction

Indoor gateway is now very common and can be seen in many places like smart homes, smart cities, or workplaces. Imagine if you were out of your house, but you forgot to turn off your heater when leaving. Wouldn’t it be just great if you could check the status of your heater from your smartphone? Also, turn it off instead of going back all the way? Yes! It would be wondrous! Now this is possible with the help of the indoor gateways and the Internet of Things, IoT.

Some time ago, computers and smartphones were the only devices that had internet access. In recent years, the smart versions of practically every device have become common. This all is possible because of the indoor gateways and the IoT. The smart system is one where interrelated IoT devices are connected wirelessly over the internet that transfer and receive data from one device to the other, through the indoor gateway.

What is the indoor gateway?

A gateway is a similar-looking device to a WiFi router. It contains the hardware and application software needed to connect all the IoT devices to the cloud. The indoor gateway is like a meeting spot for all IoT devices. It is where they drop all their sensed data and information. A very large area might require more than one indoor gateway, but it depends on multiple factors. The indoor gateway connects many types of devices altogether at a time to the cloud. The cloud is where all the data is stored and the gateway is the means through which the IoT devices are connected indirectly to the cloud.

Indoor gateway smart system

A smart home is the best example of an indoor gateway smart system. Many home appliances like the air conditioner, thermostat, doorbell, security alarms, smoke detectors,  can all be interconnected through the internet to share data with the user over an app in the user’s smartphone. This way user can review all the details of the workings of all these devices. Moreover, the user can manage all these devices in a much better and less time-consuming way.

An example to help you picture your smart home created with the help of indoor gateways and IoT would be; imagine your alarm goes off in the morning, the IoT system, with the help of the indoor gateway, can open the water heater for you, and even your smart coffee machine. This way when you wake up the water will be hot and the coffee would be ready! Wouldn’t that be great? Even though all this might seem captivating to many people, there is a lot behind all of this to function seamlessly. Smart systems are a great option and are common in workplaces like companies.

How the Indoor gateway smart system work

Understand the working of a smart system is important to evolve with technology. There are two main types of IoT devices; general devices and sensing devices. General devices of IoT are the main components for data and information exchange. Home appliances are examples of these devices. On the other hand, the sensing devices include the sensors and actuators,  these measure data like temperature, light intensity, or any other types of data.

Both the general and sensing devices are connected to the network with the help of an indoor gateway. This gateway then connects these devices to the cloud.

The indoor gateway processes the information from the sensing devices and transfers it to the cloud. The cloud is a processing engine where the processed information received from the indoor gateway is further processed and stored. It is where actions are performed according to the data received. WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, GSM, and many more provide wireless connectivity.

How to choose the right indoor gateway?

There are certain things you need to consider when choosing an indoor gateway. The first thing is the power consumption of the gateway, low-power operated gateways are the ideal ones that most people are after, and that is also what all this is about. After that, you need to consider the concentrator type and the number of channels and antennas. With antennas comes range, if you use an antenna with a bigger gain then you can cover a wider area, but keep in mind that other factors also influence it. Next comes the type of power supply for the indoor gateway. You have options like PoE, battery, and solar panels. Lastly, you need to consider the operating temperature and weather resistance of the indoor gateway.

Significance of the smart system

Indoor gateways and IoT have such a wide spectrum of applications and because of the better response, monitoring, and analytical capabilities of the indoor gateway smart system, it is being adopted in many industries and domains. It lessens the burden and workload on humans. The IoT smart system is used in wearables like watches and bracelets, cars, and others like smart homes, smart farms and greenhouses, smart retail, smart buildings, smart health care, and smart cities.

Advantages of the smart system

This smart system encourages communication between devices, this way things will be able to communicate, sense, and share information. Moreover, these things will also be able to perform actions in response to the sensed changes, all while being in your control. It makes peoples’ lives easier by creating an automated and controlled environment. This smart system has several powerful sensing and monitoring features. It will help you save money.

Once set up, everything will be monitored and controlled by the system, and it will reduce a lot of manual duties. Furthermore, it will help you save precious resources by keeping track of everything, from electricity to water resources to many other things. All of this is less time-consuming and works with high efficiency. This smart system will elevate the quality of your life so you can enjoy smart living.
