  2. Presentation outline • Introduction • Smart / automated homes • Domotic technology • Proposed laboratory infrastructure • Conclusions

  3. Introduction Smart / automated homes Domotic technology Proposed laboratory infrastructure Conclusions Introduction (I) Technology evolution Smart Homes / Automated Homes (domotic devices) Remote Experimentation (Remote Lab. Infrastructures)

  4. Introduction Smart / automated homes Domotic technology Proposed laboratory infrastructure Conclusions Introduction (II)

  5. Introduction Smart / automated homes Domotic technology Proposed laboratory infrastructure Conclusions Smart /automated homes Technology evolution People lifestyles Smart Homes / Automated Homes • Comfort ; • Security; • Economy & environment; • Leisure & relax. Several technological solutions are being developed during the last years (adoption of domotic devices / technology)

  6. Introduction Smart / automated homes Domotic technology Proposed laboratory infrastructure Conclusions Domotic technology (I) 1- Reliability; 2- Devices; 3- APIs/software; 4- Support; 5- Price

  7. Introduction Smart / automated homes Domotic technology Proposed laboratory infrastructure Conclusions Domotic technology (II) • Advantages: • it is a standard; • several companies developing devices; • free software available (Calimero API); • KNX association; • Desavantage: • Price ! Gira touch panel (for controlling the entire home) Gira Web server Jung On/Off actuator But… new solutions and studies are still appearing in this domain !

  8. Introduction Smart / automated homes Domotic technology Proposed laboratory infrastructure Conclusions Domotic technology (II) Song G. et al., “A Wireless Power Outlet System for Smart Homes” in IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, Vol. 54, No. 4, Nov. 2008 Leichtenstern K. et al., “Mobile Interaction in Smart Environments”, The 4th International Conference on Pervasive Computing, The Burlington Hotel, Dublin, Ireland May 07-10, 2006 Safiyya Rusli, Mehrdad Dianati, “Mobile access to smart home network”, Adjunct Proceedings of the 4th European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context (EuroSSC), pp. 29-34, 2009

  9. Introduction Smart / automated homes Domotic technology Proposed laboratory infrastructure Conclusions Proposed Laboratory Infrastructure (I) 1451.0 Std. [defines a set of operating modes and interfaces for controlling sensors and actuators ] (I&M developed using HDL languages and following the IEEE 1451.0 Std.) BUT… the control of the physical space and the power infrastructure are usually forgotten and, if implemented, specific solutions are adopted !

  10. Introduction Smart / automated homes Domotic technology Proposed laboratory infrastructure Conclusions Proposed Laboratory Infrastructure (I) • Adopting domotic • devices enables: • 1-controlling the power infrastructure (may be turned on/off) • reduce power consumption and saves • energy costs • - avoids equipment ageing effects • technical support may be reduced • 2-controlling light and temperature • conditions • - promote the correct lab operation • some experiments may require a precise temperature/light control

  11. Introduction Smart / automated homes Domotic technology Proposed laboratory infrastructure Conclusions Conclusions Technological evolution + people lifestyles >> smart/automated homes; There are many technological solutions in the market (e.g. KNX Std.); But research community is always proposing new solutions and providing several studies in this domain. So…. devices and the remote control usually adopted for smart homes + laboratory infrastructure proposed (FPGA-based boards for replacing traditional instrumentation server + I&Ms) = easy the remote control of the laboratory conditions (experiments), namely: i) control environment conditions and ii) the power consumption.
