Abstract

A wireless switch for use in internet of things comprises: a control unit, provided with a display installed with an application program; a switch unit, one end thereof is coupled to the control unit through a wired network or a wireless network, and the other end thereof is provided with a first wireless module; and a termination unit, disposed in a patch board and coupled to a switch or a socket, the switch or the socket is coupled to a computer or a household appliance, and the termination unit is provided with a second wireless module for being communicated with the first wireless module; through the application program of the control unit, the switch unit and the termination unit are enabled to control the computer or the household appliance to be turned on or turned off.

Claims

1. A wireless switch for use in internet of things, comprising:

a control unit, provided with a display installed with an application program;

a switch unit, one end thereof being coupled to said control unit through a wired network or a wireless network, and the other end thereof being provided with a first wireless module; and

a termination unit, disposed in a patch board and coupled to a switch or a socket, said switch or said socket being coupled to a computer or a household appliance, and said termination unit being provided with a second wireless module for being communicated with said first wireless module;

through said application program of said control unit, said switch unit and said termination unit being enabled to control said computer or said household appliance to be turned on or turned off

2. The wireless switch for use in internet of things as claimed in claim 1, wherein said control unit is a hand-held device, said display is a liquid crystal display, and said display is able to show the power consumption information of said computer or said household appliance.

3. The wireless switch for use in internet of things as claimed in claim 1, wherein said switch unit further comprises:

a network module, coupled to said wired network or said wireless network; and

a first controller, one end thereof is coupled to said network module, and the other end thereof is coupled to said first wireless module, and said first controller is provided with a USB port for providing a parameter setting function.

4. The wireless switch for use in internet of things as claimed in claim 3, wherein said network module is an Ethernet module or a Wi-Fi wireless network module, and said first controller is a microcontroller.

5. The wireless switch for use in internet of things as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first wireless module is a Zigbee wireless module and further provided with an antenna.

6. The wireless switch for use in internet of things as claimed in claim 1, wherein said termination unit further comprises:

a power module, used for outputting a 3.3V DC power source;
