The Smart home energy consumption represents much of the total energy consumed in advanced countries. For this reason, the main objectif of this paper is to study the energy consumption profile by day for each home appliances: controllable appliances for example Washing machine, Tumble dryer and Air conditioning and uncontrollable appliances for example TV, PC, Lighting, Refrigerator and Electric heater. In this paper, we start with presentation of a smart home energy management systems. Next, we present the modeling and simulation of controllable appliances and uncontrollable appliances. Finally, concludes this paper with some prospects. The modeling and the simulation of a Smart home appliances is based on MATLAB/Simulink software.

SMART home is one of the most popular applications of Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies, which is expanding in terms of range of applications. SMART home technology provides convenience at home by connecting household appliances to a single network, control, and management. However, many general home appliances do not support the network functions yet; hence, enjoying such convenient technology could be difficult, and it could be expensive in the beginning to build the framework. In addition, even though products with SMART home technologies are purchased, the control systems could differ from device to device. Thus, in this paper, we propose a SMART home framework, called an S-mote that can operate all the IoT functions in a single application by adding an infrared or radio frequency module to general home appliances. The proposed framework is analyzed using four types of performance tests by five evaluators. The results of the experiment show that the SMART home environment was implemented successfully and that it functions appropriately, without any operational issues, with various home appliances, including the latest IoT devices, and even those equipped with an infrared or radio frequency module.

There have been vigorous studies on smart home appliances with ubiquitous technologies overseas as well as in Korea. Kookmin university has provided a one-room type test bed as one of many experienced-type test beds and has applied many smart home appliances with ubiquitous technologies to the test bed to examine their interrelations and usability over a year. This article scrutinize applied situations and their problems of the appliances and based on the findings we suggest smart home appliances with ubiquitous technologies in various housing types.

The applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are progressively adopting for various smart home services such as home automation, controlling smart home household appliances, constrained application services in a smart home, etc. However, enabling a seamless and ubiquitous WSN communication between the smart home appliances is still a challenging job. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a smart home control system using an Actuator based ZigBee networking (AZNET). The working of the proposed system is further divided into three phases, 1) an interference avoidance system is adopted to mitigate the effect of interference caused due to the co-existence of IEEE 802.11x based wireless local area networks (WLAN) and WSN, 2) a sensor-based smart light control system is used to fulfill the light requirement in the smart home using the sunlight with light source, and 3) an autonomous home management system is used to regulate the usage time of the electronic appliances in the smart home. The smart is tested in real time environment to use the sunlight with light sources in a various time of the day. Similarly, the performance of the proposed smart home is verified through simulation using C# programming language. The results and analysis revealed that the proposed smart home is less affected by the interference and efficient in reducing the energy consumption of the appliances available in the smart home scenario.

This paper presents that TD method is applied to the human adaptive devices for smart home with context awareness (or recognition) technique. For smart home, the very important problem is how the appliances (or devices) can adapt to user. Since there are many humans to manage home appliances (or devices), managing the appliances automatically is difficult. Moreover, making the users be satisfied by the automatically managed devices is much more difficult. In order to do so, we can use several methods, fuzzy controller, neural network, reinforcement learning, etc. Though the some methods could be used, in this case (in dynamic environment), reinforcement learning is appropriate. Among some reinforcement learning methods, we select the Temporal Difference learning method as a core algorithm for adapting the devices to user. Since this paper assumes the environment is a smart home, we simply explained about the context awareness. Also, we treated with the TD method briefly and implement an example by VC++. Thereafter, we dealt with how the devices can be applied to this problem.

The ZigBee network has been considered to monitor electricity usage of home appliances in the smart grid network. ZigBee, however, may suffer from a coexistence problem with wireless local area network (WLAN). In this paper, to resolve the coexistence problem between ZigBee network and WLAN, we propose a new protocol constructing a cognitive smart grid network for supporting monitoring of home appliances. In the proposed protocol, home appliances first estimates the transmission timing and channel information of WLAN by reading request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) frames of WLAN. Next, based on the estimated information, home appliances transmit a data at the same time as WLAN transmission. To manage the interference between WLAN and smart grid network, we propose a cognitive beamforming algorithm. The beamforming algorithm is designed to guaranteeing zero interference to WLAN while satisfying a required rate for smart metering. We also propose an energy efficient rate adaptation algorithm. By slowing down the transmission rate while satisfying an imperceptible impact of quality of service (QoS) of the receiver, the home appliance can significantly save transmit power. Numerical results show that the proposed multiple antenna technique provides reliable communications for smart metering with reduced power comparing to the simple transmission technique.

일인 다기기 시대에 맞추어 스마트 기기로 다양한 가전제품과 전자기기를 스마트 디바이스를 이용하여 제어 가능하게 출시하고 있다. 또한, 청소로봇과 냉장고, 에어컨, TV 등의 제품 수가 빠르게 증가하고 있으며 이러한 기기들을 이용하여 DLNA(Digital Living Network Alliance) 시스템을 구축하고 있다. 그리고 국내외에서 IoT(Internet Of Things)나 Alljoyn 같은 기술들을 개발 및 제공하고 있다. 하지만 현재 사용하고 있는 가전제품이나 전자기기들은 운영체제가 설치되어있는 제품보다 설치되어있지 않은 제품이 많다. 또한, 스마트 가전제품을 사용하지 않는 사용자는 스마트 가전제품 보다는 기존의 전자제품을 구입하는 경우가 더 많이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 기기를 사용하여 사용자가 원하는 데이터를 수치화하고 아두이노 보드에 전송하여 운영체제가 없는 기존의 가전제품도 스마트 기기와 같은 제어를 할 수 있도록 하는 시스템을 제안하고 구현한다.

오래 전부터 홈 네트워크 컴퓨팅을 위하여 많은 스마트 홈 생활기기의 개발과 함께 지능형 개인화 서비스 연구가 진행되어왔다. 그러나 실제 일상생활에서는 이미 구매한 생활기기의 긴 수명주기 때문에 건축물 신축 시 스마트 생활기기 및 관련 시스템이 설치되지 않으면 사용자는 홈네트워킹을 위한 지능형 개인화 서비스를 이용하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 기존(legacy) 생활기기를 사용하면서 지능형 개인화 서비스를 이용하기위해 가전기기에 부착시킬 수 있는 인에이블러(enabler)를 사용한다. 다양한 센서가 내장되어 있는 인에이블러는 각 센서로부터 취득한 데이터들을 사물웹 게이트 웨이로 전달하며 게이트웨이는 사용자의 간섭 없이 입력받은 정보를 통하여 사용자의 상황을 명확하게 파악하여 필요한 서비스를 제공한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 인에이블러의 센서를 활용하여 사용자의 다양한 상황을 자동으로 추론하여 실시간으로 적합한 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 상황인지 온톨로지 모델을 제시한다.

Home appliance manufacturers have recently been trying to provide smart products capable of various Internet services. For example, one health care manufacturer provides a Wi-Fi-capable scale. Once users register their information with the manufacturer's server, their weight and body fat records are automatically uploaded to the server whenever they measure their weight. The users can then watch and check their weight log easily using a smart device, such as a smartphone or tablet. One of the biggest problems, however, is that the initial configuration of the appliances and the user registration process may be quite complicated to typical users who are unfamiliar with such IT devices. This paper proposes an autoconfiguration system structure and protocol for Internet-capable home appliances, which supports the initial configuration and remote maintenance service of the device with only little user effort. Manufacturers can develop their own information appliances and provide differentiated services using the proposed system and protocol.
