Abstract

This work aims to develop a smart LED lighting system, which is remotely controlled by Android apps via handheld devices, e.g., smartphones, tablets, and so forth. The status of energy use is reflected by readings displayed on a handheld device, and it is treated as a criterion in the lighting mode design of a system. A multimeter, a wireless light dimmer, an IR learning remote module, etc. are connected to a server by means of RS 232/485 and a human computer interface on a touch screen. The wireless data communication is designed to operate in compliance with the ZigBee standard, and signal processing on sensed data is made through a self adaptive weighted data fusion algorithm. A low variation in data fusion together with a high stability is experimentally demonstrated in this work. The wireless light dimmer as well as the IR learning remote module can be instructed directly by command given on the human computer interface, and the reading on a multimeter can be displayed thereon via the server. This proposed smart LED lighting system can be remotely controlled and self learning mode can be enabled by a single handheld device via WiFi transmission. Hence, this proposal is validated as an approach to power monitoring for home appliances, and is demonstrated as a digital home network in consideration of energy efficiency.

Summary

Introduction

As an increasingly popular issue, the field of digital home services appeals to plenty of high tech companies. Digital home network technology is being developed with focus on six aspects, namely, central control systems, security monitoring, heath care, residence monitoring, information appliances, and energy saving. The field of central control covers system control, management authority, etc. Health care covers patient location tracking, bed management in hospitals, etc. Information appliances cover home automation control, and energy saving covers efficiency improvement, power management, etc. Many companies have put a great effort into the development of central control and information appliances, while they do not pay as much attention to the field of health care. This study is devoted to the applications of residence monitoring and information appliances
