Intelligent household appliances have the following traits:

I. Networking function: Various intelligent household appliances can be connected together through home WLAN. You can also connect to the producer's service site through the home gateway interface. Finally, it can be connected with the Internet to realize information sharing.

II. Intelligence: Intelligent household appliances can naturally respond according to different surroundings. It does not require human intervention. For example, smart air conditioners can naturally adjust their working status. It is adjusted according to different seasons, climates and users' regions to achieve the best results.

III. Openness and compatibility: Users' smart home appliances may come from different manufacturers. So, the intelligent home appliance platform must be open and compatible. 

IV. Energy saving: Intelligent household appliances can be naturally adjusted according to the surrounding environment. It adjusts working time and working state to realize energy saving.

V. Ease of use: People have solved the complicated control operation process. This is solved with the help of a controller embedded in smart home appliances. So, users only need to know very simple operations. 

In the future, intelligent home appliances will change from complexity to simplicity. It will move from high-end to mid-range. And from pure technical intelligence to humanistic intelligence. It will be more intelligent, information and networked. The functions of "human-machine dialogue, intelligent control, and automatic operation" will be realized. It will meet the needs of users in terms of safety and security. And it is closer to users' consumption habits and usage habits. Provide users with a more convenient, comfortable, energy-saving, and green intelligent home appliance life. In the future, smart home appliances will be one of the social individuals. It will provide us with super-intelligent intelligent services.

Solve the problems existing in the period of non-smart appliances.

Perfect the standard and standard system. The concept of household appliance intelligence is relatively chaotic. Many businesses use intelligence as a publicity stunt. However, the technology is far from reaching the level of publicity. There are few unified and standardized national guiding standards for intelligent household appliances in China. Each producer has different technical routes, communication protocols and usage standards. This affects system compatibility, information sharing and interconnection. It is urgent to formulate standards in combination with actual needs. It has wide coverage and deep guidance accuracy.  

It integrates multiple functions into one. The intelligence of household appliances generally includes two aspects. They are single intelligence and multiple intelligence. Single intelligence has only one function that simulates human intelligence. The latter is a function that simulates as much as possible the intelligent thinking or activities of many people. This is based on its unique work function. For example, the multifunctional rice cooker has many functions that simulate human intelligence. Conclusions can be drawn from users’ feedback on smart home appliances. Multiple intelligence is a direction for the development of smart home appliances in the future.
