The current smart home product market is showing a hot scene. However, the phenomenon of “pseudo-intelligence” appears frequently and has become an urgent problem to be solved in the development of the industry.
Some products, such as sweeping robots and smart washing machines, have exaggerated functions. Consumers experience a significant gap in actual use, and may also encounter equipment incompatibility issues.
Faced with “smart” products with different claims on the market, consumers are becoming increasingly cautious when purchasing.
In addition to checking reviews, they also began to pay attention to whether the manufacturing company behind the product is reliable.
In order to select truly high-quality products, consumers can quickly understand its business scope and existence status by querying the company’s industrial and commercial information.
The Sky Eye risk function can be used to further check whether the company has administrative penalties or consumer legal litigation records caused by false propaganda and product quality problems. This provides an additional layer of protection for avoiding “gimmick” products and choosing honest manufacturers.
The “pseudo-intelligence” of smart homes is mainly characterized by gimmicky functions, fragmented experience, and hollow technology. These problems are undoubtedly stumbling blocks to the high-quality development of the industry.
However, what is exciting is that the new national standard for smart home appliances will be implemented on May 1, 2026.
The new national standard clearly defines smart home appliances and delineates five intelligence levels and nine typical application scenarios.
The implementation of the new national standard means higher requirements for corporate R&D capabilities, quality control systems and talent reserves.
To comply with standards and achieve a truly “smart” experience, professional R&D and product teams are indispensable.
Whether it is a company introducing top talents or a partner evaluating each other’s technical strength, through employment information and key personnel inquiries, understanding the background, past project experience and network of the company’s core technicians and product managers, as well as their network of contacts in the industry, has become an important reference for evaluating whether they can keep up with standards and achieve true innovation.
Data from the professional version of Tianyancha shows that as of now, there are more than 118,000 smart home-related companies currently operating or existing in my country.
Among them, more than 4,800 related companies will be newly registered in 2025.
From the perspective of regional distribution, Guangdong Province ranks first in the number of smart home-related companies, with more than 35,000 related companies, accounting for 29.97% of the national total.
Followed by Jiangsu Province, Shandong Province, Zhejiang Province and Anhui Province.
This also reflects the differences and characteristics of smart home industry development in different regions.
With the implementation of the new national standards, I believe that the smart home industry will usher in a major change, gradually get rid of the dilemma of “pseudo-intelligence”, and move towards a healthier and higher-quality development path.
