Development of an appliances control system based on standardized architectures

Abstract

The article presents the development, on a standardized architecture, of a system capable of intercommunicating devices for open loop control and data monitoring, developing an application that allows a user to control the evolution of the system information and allow request data on it or act on it in order to control elements such as appliances, which account for a high percentage of energy consumption in homes. Thus, the existence of an appliance control system, combined with the possibility of access to it by the user, in order to monitor and / or act on the elements that compose it, not only allows to regulate household consumption, but also provides a convenient tool to its users to take part in this optimization process. The development of hardware tools and control and communications software based on oneM2M has been carried out, for the integration of loads of residential environments of variable size in a system capable of monitoring and consequent action, in order to implement improvements in the efficiency of the integrated elements and allow the supervision of the system by an authorized user. The objective of the system will be the control of resources for the optimization of their consumption, maintaining or improving their functional characteristics. For this purpose, a cost efficient system has been developed and tested. The result is a load control and monitoring system, under the oneM2M standard, with interoperability with protocols not covered by it.
