Q

which type of transmission synchronization technique uses start and stop bits at the beginning and end of a data frame?

A

Asynchronous

There are three methods of performing synchronization: isochronous, asynchronous, and synchronous. When you are using an asynchronous technique, the data frame is encased within a start and stop bit, which lets the receiver know of its location within a traffic stream.

Q

For home automation hubs, what wireless communication protocol is commonly used for home automation, creating a mesh network of appliances, thermostats, and door locks?

A

Z-Wave is a wireless communications protocol used primarily for home automation. It creates a mesh network using low-energy radio waves to communicate from appliance to appliance. Z-Wave is found in devices such as lighting control systems, security systems, thermostats, windows, locks, swimming pools, and garage door openers.
