The smart home market is often seen as being dominated by\nAndroid and Alexa, but Windows has carved its own niche in the competitive\nmarket. CNET recently noted that many manufacturers were actively working towards Microsoft capability<\/a>.\nHowever, a Windows-powered home will require good connectivity.<\/a> Making\nthe effort towards achieving that will bring dividends, however, as Windows may\nbe the best platform for monitoring your devices and controlling your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connectivity is key<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\ngreatest time to set up a smart home is when its new. Mortgage lenders,\nreal estate agents and banks are taking to the internet<\/a> and espousing new\nsmart homes. These new homes are being built either with connectivity-geared\nwalls or wide connections that enable mesh networking, according to USA\nToday. All wireless gadgets will require good connectivity, but if you\u2019re\nusing a Windows PC as a central hub, then it will be key to have good\nconnectivity feeding back into that spot. This is the starting point for any\nWindows-based smart home configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining up your devices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A\nlittle more difficulty presents in actually joining up your devices. This is\nthe main difficulty with having many different strands of technology, made by\ndisparate manufacturers. One great way around this is with Raspberry Pi, which\nsupports Windows 10 and, according to Futurism, is currently moving to release a comprehensive starter pack<\/a>. This\nwill allow both laymen and seasoned professionals to get involved with\ndesigning and deploying their own home control system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advantage Windows offers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smart\nhomes are a huge area of debate when it comes to data privacy. The data\ngathering and loose security undertaken by many major producers of smart\ngadgets has led some groups to rightly question their suitability for release\nat this time. This could be set to change. As TechCrunch outlines, Princeton has developed software<\/a> called\nan IoT Inspector which will soon be released for Windows. The potential for\nWindows users here is great; Windows has telemetry, but is considered to be the\nmost customizable and most transparent service. This makes a Windows-based\nservice best placed to monitor and dictate data gathering in the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows\nmay be seen to have lagged behind in the smart home, but the truth is that the\nplatform has a small but well refined place in the market. New technology and\ntechniques will boost this place further. Ultimately, this should elevate\nWindows to a premier smart home platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
