Abstract
This work presents an architecture for the management and personalized control of devices in a domotic environment (i.e., an automated home). The architecture allows for user and profile management from mobile hand-held devices such as PDAs and cell phones. The system provides for interaction from any device fitted with TCP/IP support and a web browser, so that the specific characteristics of the access device are not a conditioning factor. We have implemented a prototype to test out the application of the architecture in domotic environments. We have used virtual UPnP devices that emulate domotic devices on PCs, a local area network interconnecting the PCs to form a domotic network, and a PDA with Bluetooth and a cell phone with GPRS connection as wireless access devices. A key design goal was that the prototype could be easily transferred to future domotic installations with real devices, possibly interconnected by the home power line.
