Abstract

In recent times, developments in home automation systems have given way to the construction of smarter infrastructure. Such systems offer an easy way for users to control devices in a building. Commercially, there are several technologies that are currently being implemented for home automation purposes namely Z-Wave [1], ZigBee [2] and X10 [3]. The proprietary Z-Wave technology has various advantages and hence is used in this experiment. Research in this field has extended the capabilities of the technology into areas such as remote monitoring and control, power management, tracking & security systems and disaster warning systems. Power management has been of particular interest as it allows for a greener future and is added advantage to users as a cost-cutting measure. This paper analyses the power consumption in a standard home taking into account commonly used appliances and other devices and shows the management capabilities of a home automation system as well as an estimation of the savings in terms of power consumed and cost. The aim of the study is to measure the energy conservation across 4 homes using a Z-Wave home automation system. It is found that there is an 18.70% decrease in energy consumption when the home automation system acts to manage the power consumption of the devices in the home.

智能家居中的节能

近年来，家庭自动化系统的发展已经让位于更智能的基础设施建设。这种系统为用户控制建筑物中的设备提供了一种简单的方法。商业上，目前有几种用于家庭自动化目的的技术，即Z-Wave [1]， ZigBee[2]和X10[3]。专有的Z-Wave技术具有各种优点，因此在本实验中使用。该领域的研究已将该技术的功能扩展到远程监控、电源管理、跟踪和安全系统以及灾害预警系统等领域。电源管理一直受到特别关注，因为它可以实现更环保的未来，并作为降低成本的措施为用户带来额外的优势。本文分析了标准家庭中常用电器和其他设备的功耗，并展示了家庭自动化系统的管理能力，以及在功耗和成本方面的节省估计。本研究的目的是测量使用Z-Wave家庭自动化系统的4个家庭的节能情况。研究发现，当家庭自动化系统对家庭设备的功耗进行管理时，能耗降低了18.70%。
