“…While it is projected that the industry supporting Smart Homes is worth billions of dollars and expected to increase tremendously, yet a wide-spread adoption of the Smart Home concept is yet to take place (Smireka, Zimmermanna & Beigl, 2016). This may be traced to high cost of ownership, poor manageability, and rigidity of interconnected devices, platform fragmentation amongst others.…”

“…In addition, a major gap in today's Smart Home design lies in understanding the ever evolving consumers' behavior, accurately documenting and harnessing these behaviors and correctly using them in the Smart Home architecture. The deployment of technologies such as Universal Remote Console (URC) and the Universal Control Hub (UCH) could be successfully used to ensure that users feel comfortable and in control of home control systems (Smireka et al, 2016). In addition, the Eclipse Smart Home (ESH) offers a flexible and modularized structure with special focus on heterogeneous environments, wherein the principles of modularization and hot deployment are employed in loading new components (Smireka et al, 2016).…”

The Smart Home concept is an extensive technological concept which have seen a major resurgence in recent years. They are aimed at automating daily living activities, central monitoring and control of the home, power consumption optimization, greater security, and ensuring a healthier living condition among other things. The capabilities of the Smart Home are further enhanced when combined with the Internet of Things (IoT) and cutting edge technologies such as embedded artificial intelligence. However, the Smart Home design is beset by a number of issues including a lack of universal technical standards and platform fragmentation. This paper is aimed at generating operational guidelines and a design framework for Smart Home architecture. An extensive survey of literature is carried out to investigate the general architecture, existing models and designs of the Smart Home System in other to establish how current models impact on the operations of the smart home. We then highlight the major challenges to the smart home architecture and why these exist. Finally, we attempt to discuss what possible solutions can mitigate identified challenges. A general framework is then proposed for the design of smart homes, which helps overcome identified drawbacks to the Smart Home architecture.

“…Frameworks such as Apache Felix or Eclipse SmartHome provide the necessary tools for building Smart Home solutions based on the principles of modularity, component orientation, and service orientation. L Smirek et al 23 evaluate the Eclipse SmartHome framework to address backend technologies and personalized user interfaces in a Smart Home. These solutions, despite being very convenient for basic service composition, lack the flexibility demanded by the IoT vision.…”

This article presents an Internet of Things architecture for Smart Homes that specifically targets service composition and reconfiguration as enablers for the actuation and smart behavior capabilities. To this end, the main challenge that has to be addressed is the support to a seamless integration, composition, and reconfiguration of Internet of Things objects. Two enabling technologies are proposed here: a planning strategy based on a common-sense reasoning approach for service composition and a virtual-network protocol for Inter-Domain Messaging. The planner will identify the services that, properly connected, will cater for arisen, and therefore, unexpected needs. The virtual-network protocol will provide the support for this interconnection to take place in a transparent and orthogonal manner. This is particularly important to enable autonomous systems to instantiate composite services. To demonstrate the capabilities of the resulting framework, two use cases are presented, which under real circumstances demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach.

“…Currently, there are promising concepts for user-friendly middleware platforms, like openHAB, Eclipse-SmartHome, or Qivicon offered by Telekom, which share the same conceptual ideas regarding their technology stack. The framework used by us for the operation of the measuring and control system is openHAB 2, an open-source framework which has gained more and more attention in the scientific community (Smirek et al, 2016). As usual, for middleware platforms like openHAB, a user interface, device abstraction, and opportunities to use different Figure 2.…”

Abstract. In contrast to conventional hydronic heating systems, in which the air is used as a medium for the convective heat transfer, an alternative approach is based on the usage of infrared (IR) radiant heating foils. These foils, which are applied to the walls and the ceiling of a laboratory, can be controlled individually. This leads to the possibility of heating the room zonewise and only when a person is present in a zone. A local comfortable climate is provided only in occupied zones, with the remaining zones being kept at a lower base temperature. Consequently, the measurement system has to detect persons in each zone and to determine the putative thermal comfort at relevant locations in the room. For the first problem, we examined and evaluated different sensor types capable of localizing persons without infringing on their anonymity. For the second problem, we used the fact that the thermal comfort mainly depends on the operative temperature (Li et al., 2010; DIN EN ISO 7730, 2006;de Dear and Brager, 2002). According to Simone et al. (2007), this temperature can be measured directly by an easily producible, planar sensor. The sensors were integrated in a wireless sensor network which consists of Wi-Fi-capable microcontroller boards, wireless smart home equipment, a Wi-Fi router, and a server.
