Abstract
With the increasing number of smart home devices and the widespread availability of broadband communications, intelligent products built on the computational power and scalability of cloud, have the potential to reach beyond traditional markets. Cloud-based Home Energy Management (HEM) paradigm can provide intuitive and automated services that can not only save money and energy but also improve the quality of lives of consumers. This paper provides a detailed summary of the literature review of HEM and proposes (1) a conceptual smart home model with a special integration of solar powered devices with the cloud, (2) a limited consumer survey, and (3) a Multi-Attribute Modeling (MAM) with an example application for consumer adoption of Home Energy Management System (HEMS) and allied devices. The results of literature research and an online survey point out that the surveyed consumers acknowledge the importance of energy efficiency in their daily lives and lean towards adopting cloud-based smart home devices for their needs. The bottom line for adopting HEMS is the availability of secure, robust and cost-effective solutions coupled with considerable money-saving potential.
