Abstract:

Home automation is the systematic controlling and monitoring of everyday home devices such as lighting, heating, window blinds and appliances (both white goods and home electronics). This report describes how to control and monitor home appliances over IPv6 by using existing home automation hardware and an Internet connected gateway. There are many commercial home automation systems available. However, these are often proprietary and/or designed for limited use. This project seeks to pave the way for IP-enabling home appliances, making such devices part of the Internet. Therefore, these devices can individually be controlled both from within the home and remotely. Internet enabling each of these devices eliminates the need for special Internet connected control units, simplifying home automation and hopefully giving yet another incentive to deploy IPv6 on a larger scale. The practical goal of this project has been to create a virtual, but practically usable, IPv6 home automation system. This has been done using existing simple home automation hardware tied to a gateway relaying uniquely addressed IPv6 command messages to the appropriate device. This gateway's only function will be to translate IPv6 commands to whatever interface the device being controlled is using (this includes translating to and from the appropriate link and physical layers). Using this platform, new applications can be created by enabling the devices to interact without relying on a central control node. The report also describes the basic design ideas of a computer connected interface to also relay information from the home automation system to the Internet.
Hemautomation handlar om att styra och övervaka vanliga funktioner i hemmet såsom belysning, värme, persienner samt apparater såsom vitvaror och hemelektronik. Denna rapport beskriver hur man kan styra och övervaka sådana apparater över IPv6 genom att använda existerande hemautomationssystem och en internetansluten gateway. Det finns många tillgängliga hemautomationssystem men dessa är ofta tillverkarspecifika och/eller bara designade för väldigt specifika syften. Syftet med detta projekt är att bana väg för att få apparater i hemmet att kommunicera via IP och göra dem internetanslutna. På så sätt kan apparaterna styras både inom hemmet men även från andra platser. Genom att göra varje apparat internetansluten krävs ingen central internetansluten styrenhet, vilket skulle göra hemautomation enklare och bidra med ytterligare en bra anledning att implementera IPv6 på större skala. Målet för detta projekt har varit att skapa en virtuell, användbar prototyp av ett hemautomationssystem för IPv6. Detta har gjorts genom att använda existerande hårdvara för hemautomation och en PCbaserad gateway som översätter kontrollkommandon från IPv6 till det hemautomationssystem som används. Detta innebär att överföra data mellan olika länk- och fysiska lager. Genom att använda denna plattform kan man skapa nya applikationer där apparaterna kommunicerar mellan varandra utan att förlita sig på en central styrenhet. Denna rapport beskriver också grunderna för hur ett datorgränssnitt kan överföra information från anslutna apparater i hemmet till Internet.

Abstract:

Home automation systems of today tend to be external solutions to an existing product that enable rather complex and expensive communications equipment to be attached to existing products. This is because it would not be economically defendable to implement the communications hardware internally in the products, due to a high increase of the cost for the product. This thesis tries to solve this problem by introducing a low-cost product-embedded solution for home automation. By using the Elvin protocol together with low-cost communication solutions, such as the RS232 protocol and Open/Closed circuits, communications could be embedded into products and device interaction could be implemented without increasing the cost of already existing products too much. Furthermore this thesis will discuss an implementation of an Elvin router that will act as a bridge between RS232, Open/Closed circuits and the Ethernet network that contains an Elvin server.

Abstract:

La Home Automation è un ambito nella quale, l’IoT ha le potenzialità di fornire strumenti capaci di garantire nuove funzionalità, non ottenibili mediante l’approccio ad una visione più limitata da fattori economici ed ecosistemi proprietari. L’avvento dell'IoT e di dispositivi intelligenti, connessi ad internet, ha portato però un problema: come integrare tutti questi dispositivi, all’interno di un’ambiente domestico, permettendo il loro utilizzo simultaneo ed interconnesso? Sotto questo aspetto, Apple e Google hanno sviluppato sistemi, nati con questo obbiettivo, ma infine ristretti per motivi economici e di marchio, obbligando eventuali produttori esterni con il desiderio di sviluppare prodotti da integrare nel loro ecosistema, a rispettare determinati vincoli progettuali, aumentandone costi e diminuendone portabilità ed usabilità. Diversamente dalle aziende sopra citate, Samsung ed Home Assistant, hanno adottato un approccio del tutto contrario: adottando una tecnologia Open source viene messo a disposizione del produttore esterno di dispositivi IoT, l’intero apparato dell’ecosistema nel quale integrarsi, consentendo una maggior fruibilità del sistema con minori costi d’acquisto, maggiore semplicità e supporto a numerosi protocolli e tecnologie differenti. In questo contesto, si ambienta il caso di studio della tesi: Home Assistant, pensato e realizzato con lo scopo di integrare, con il minor costo possibile, il maggior numero di dispositivi e servizi esterni, forniti da produttori differenti, utilizzando altrettanti protocolli e tecnologie di comunicazione, fornendo l’apertura software e hardware di cui l’Home Automation è purtroppo carente.

Abstract:

Home Automation Systems (HAS) consist of a number of appliances (e.g. washing machine, dishwasher, oven, refrigerator, boiler) and subsystem (e.g. for heating, for air conditioning, for entertaining), which are connected by a communication network. The various elements of the system share common resources (mainly electricity, but also water and gas) to accomplish their specific tasks, according to the user’s requirements. Since resources are limited, in the sense that their consumption cannot exceed fixed thresholds (related to costs, contract’s rules or provider’s directives), competition between the elements of the system generates internal conflicts. The aim of this thesis is to describe an approach to modeling and study of home automation systems, based on the MAS theory, which allows to introduce a rigorous formalization and to define practical tools for the analysis of performances. The models consist of a switched dynamics governed by a Petri net. They are two interconnected components, one of which is basically a switched system with time-driven dynamics and the other is an event-driven dynamical system, which influence each other. The first component (called BEHAVIOR) models the functional behavior of the appliance, while the second component (called PLUG) models its interaction with the supply system of each resource (e.g. electricity, gas, water) and the environment. To optimize the functioning of the modern house we need a comprehensive study of the entire structure seen as a distributed control system. It requires a study of real load profile that is the pattern of electricity usage of a device in the home and an analysis on the skills and properties that every device owns. The entire environment is composed by cognitive and responsive agents, able to communicate its request and to respond to user requests. This communication layer is composed by a data dashboard and a web service able to share and control user behavior in order to satisfy his desire.
Un insieme di elettrodomestici (ad esempio lavatrice, lavastoviglie, forno, frigorifero, caldaia) e sottosistemi (ad esempio per il riscaldamento, per aria condizionata), che sono collegati da una rete di comunicazione, costituiscono un Home Automation Systems (HAS). Ogni sistema appartenente a tale ambiente condivide una risorsa comune (energia elettrica, ma anche acqua e gas) per raggiungere i propri compiti, in base alle esigenze dell'utente. Dal momento che le risorse sono limitate, nel senso che il loro consumo non può superare dei limiti fissati (legati ai costi, le regole del contratto o direttive del fornitore), la concorrenza tra gli elementi del sistema genera conflitti interni. Lo scopo di questa tesi è quello di descrivere un approccio alla modellazione e studio di sistemi domotici, basato sulla teoria MAS, che consente di introdurre una formalizzazione rigorosa e definire strumenti pratici per l'analisi delle prestazioni del sistema. Il comportamento di tali modelli è caratterizzato dalle reti di Petri. Essi si compongono di due dinamiche, una guidata dal tempo e l’altra dagli eventi. Il primo componente (chiamato BEHAVIOR) modella il comportamento funzionale dell'elettrodomestico, mentre il secondo componente (chiamato PLUG) modella l’interazione con la risorsa condivisa. Per ottimizzare il funzionamento della casa occorre un ampio studio dell'intero ambiente e del profilo di carico reale di ciascun elettrodomestico come suo modello di consumo di energia elettrica. Inoltre è richiesta un'analisi sulle competenze e proprietà che ogni dispositivo possiede, caratterizzandoli come agenti cognitivi e reattivi, in grado di comunicare la propria richiesta e di rispondere alle esigenze degli utenti. Tale comunicazione è realizzata per mezzo di una lavagna condivisa di informazioni e un web service in grado di condividere e controllare il comportamento dei singoli dispositivi domotici per soddisfare il desiderio dell’ utente.

Abstract:

Home Automation (HA) has emerged as a prominent ¯eld for researchers and in- vestors confronting the challenge of penetrating the average home user market with products and services emerging from technology based vision. In spite of many technology contri- butions, there is a latent demand for a®ordable and pragmatic assistive technologies for pro-active handling of complex lifestyle related problems faced by home users. This study has pioneered to develop an Initial Technology Roadmap for HA (ITRHA) that formulates a need based vision of 10-15 years, identifying market, product and technology investment opportunities, focusing on those aspects of HA contributing to e±cient management of home and personal life. The concept of Family Life Cycle is developed to understand the temporal needs of family. In order to formally describe a coherent set of family processes, their relationships, and interaction with external elements, a reference model named Fam- ily System is established that identi¯es External Entities, 7 major Family Processes, and 7 subsystems-Finance, Meals, Health, Education, Career, Housing, and Socialisation. Anal- ysis of these subsystems reveals Soft, Hard and Hybrid processes. Rectifying the lack of formal methods for eliciting future user requirements and reassessing evolving market needs, this study has developed a novel method called Requirement Elicitation of Future Users by Systems Scenario (REFUSS), integrating process modelling, and scenario technique within the framework of roadmapping. The REFUSS is used to systematically derive process au- tomation needs relating the process knowledge to future user characteristics identi¯ed from scenarios created to visualise di®erent futures with richly detailed information on lifestyle trends thus enabling learning about the future requirements. Revealing an addressable market size estimate of billions of dollars per annum this research has developed innovative ideas on software based products including Document Management Systems facilitating automated collection, easy retrieval of all documents, In- formation Management System automating information services and Ubiquitous Intelligent System empowering the highly mobile home users with ambient intelligence. Other product ideas include robotic devices of versatile Kitchen Hand and Cleaner Arm that can be time saving. Materialisation of these products require technology investment initiating further research in areas of data extraction, and information integration as well as manipulation and perception, sensor actuator system, tactile sensing, odour detection, and robotic controller. This study recommends new policies on electronic data delivery from service providers as well as new standards on XML based document structure and format.

Abstract:

A modern home contains varieties of electronic equipment and systems like: TV, Hi-fi equipment, central heating systems, fire alarm systems, security alarm systems, lighting systems etc. Enabling these devices to communicate is the first step towards the long-predicted smart home, but this requires communication standards to follow. It can be anticipated that the technology must be wireless in order for such network to be feasible. Large set of standards are present for as well wired as wireless communication in between such devices, but today no standard communication interface available.

The goal of this project is to survey available standards for short-range wireless communication, and to evaluate and compare their capabilities to become a general standard for home automation. The evaluation must take such aspects as security, range, network architecture and the heterogeneous set of devices into consideration. Furthermore, this thesis proposes how to interconnect the home network to the external network for remote supervision and control.

Abstract:

Home automation systems are collections of smart devices that enable various functions within a house or building, such as light and plug control, energy monitoring, temperature metering, air conditioning and heating, etc. Usually, these devices are smart sensors, that are implemented with low power communication protocol like ZigBee and 6LoWPAN and only can be controlled from an Internet gateway. Nowadays, there are lots of home automation products on the market for customers. User can use application on smart phone to control the products they bought. The control command can go through a cloud-based server and be directed to the corresponding gateway, and finally reach to the sensor devices, which is referred to as "cloud-based mode" system. However, this single mode is not effcient under some circumstances where the Internet is not enabled or allowed. In this thesis work, a hybrid system architecture is proposed, implemented and evaluated, which include both stand-only and cloud-based mode. It offers a quick connection when user's smart phone and the sensor gateway are in the same private network. The proposed doublemode system architecture fits user's need and provides high reliability.
Hemautomationssystem är smarta enheter som möjliggör olika funktioner i ett hus eller en byggnad, såsom kontroll av ljus och uttag, energiövervakning, temperaturm ätning, luftkonditionering och uppvärmning, etc. Dessa enheter är vanligtvis smarta sensorer, implementerade med lågeffekt kommunikationsprotokoll som ZigBee och 6LoWPAN som endast kan styras via en Internet-gateway. Numera finns det era hemautomationprodukter på marknaden. Användaren kan med sin smarta telefon styra sina produkter. Kommandot går via en molnbaserad server och vidarebefordras till motsvarande gateway, kommandot når slutligen till sensoranordningarna, även kallat "molnbaserat läge". Detta "molnbaserade läge" är inte effektiv under vissa omständigheter där internetanslutning ej är tillänglig. I detta avhandlingsarbete föreslås, genomförs och utvärderas en hybrid systemarkitektur som inkluderar både stand-only och molnbaserade läget. Detta erbjuder en snabb anslutning när användarens smartphone och sensor gateway är pår samma privata nätverk. Den föreslagna systemarkitekturen passar användarens behov och ger hög tillförlitlighe

Abstract:

Avec le développement des technologies de l’information et de la communication, les logements individuels et collectifs sont de plus en plus souvent équipés de solutions domotiques dont le coût décroît, augmentant ainsi le niveau de confort des habitants. Il en résulte de nombreux challenges mais aussi opportunités concernant les soins de santé et les services d’assistance pour les personnes dépendantes, qu’elles soient handicapées ou âgées. La domotique est une technologie simple d’utilisation et par ailleurs nous observons que la maîtrise des technologies de l’information progresse rapidement parmi les populations âgées. Les personnes dépendantes peuvent donc bénéficier de ces technologies pour compenser leurs handicaps et ainsi continuer à vivre mieux et plus longtemps chez elles. Outre l’intérêt économique, les statistiques montrent que le maintien à domicile est un critère favorisant l’autonomie et l’espérance de vie. Il en est de même pour les personnes handicapées qui souhaitent augmenter leur degré d’autonomie à travers l’utilisation de systèmes domotiques. Les services d’aide aux personnes en situation de handicap deviennent dès lors l’objet d’enjeux économiques et sociaux importants qui imposent de faire évoluer les systèmes de santé pour répondre à ces besoins grandissants. Dans ce contexte, les travaux de cette thèse visent à apporter une nouvelle contribution à l’assistance technique des personnes dépendantes à domicile. L’idée originale de notre approche réside dans le fait que les systèmes domotiques et multimédias existants apportent des informations suffisamment pertinentes pour être utilisées en tant que capteurs pour une télésurveillance, légère et peu intrusive, d’une personne à domicile. À travers l’analyse des habitudes de l’utilisateur, notre approche comprend deux étapes originales. Dans une première étape, nous réalisons une identification automatique de scénarios. La solution proposée repose sur une combinaison d’algorithmes de fouille de données (data mining), d’intelligence artificielle, de théorie des graphes et de recherche opérationnelle pour proposer des scénarios d’usage qui soient adaptés à la capacité motrice de l’utilisateur en lui facilitant l’accès aux services. Un scénario d’usage est une suite d’activations automatiques (ou pas à pas) de services multimédias et domotiques. Dans une deuxième étape, les informations de ces capteurs fictifs sont utilisées pour la gestion d’alertes qui s’appuie sur la détection automatique d’anomalies. Une anomalie correspond à une déviation par rapport à certaines habitudes de vie de la personne, ces habitudes sont une suite d’activités domotiques automatiquement identifiées comme très fortement probables et clairement caractérisées. Ces deux étapes permettent de proposer une télésurveillance à domicile non intrusive, simple à mettre en œuvre et peu coûteuse. Elle permet aux personnes en situation de handicap d’une part de retrouver un certain degré d’autonomie à travers la proposition automatique de services et d’autre part de gagner en confiance au sein d’un environnement plus simplement contrôlable et qui en quelque sorte peut veiller sur elles au travers de la notification d’alertes détectant les anomalies. Un simulateur, intégrant tous les modèles élaborés, a été développé dans une première phase pour la génération de la base de données de l’utilisateur, évitant ainsi l’attente de quelques mois d’observation. Ces données de simulation nous permettent de développer, régler, tester et évaluer différentes stratégies pour notre approche, avant de l’appliquer dans un contexte réel. Ensuite, une expérimentation, sur le site de Kerpape, a été mise en œuvre via l’enregistrement des signaux infrarouges et sur l’utilisation de systèmes domotiques et multimédias. Les résultats de ces données réelles nous permettent d’évaluer la performance ainsi que l’efficacité de notre solution. Une méthodologie simple de mise en œuvre a été proposée. Elle inclut dans la boucle l’utilisateur ainsi que les ergothérapeutes et le personnel médical qui doivent valider les scénarios ainsi que les alertes proposées et évaluées par le système. Le déploiement simple est aussi un point fort de l’approche dans le contexte de l’assistance à domicile. Le capteur étant le système domotique lui-même, l’installation est uniquement logicielle. Elle repose sur la définition de services Web génériques avec un nombre limité de paramètres à destination des différents utilisateurs. Ce travail s’inscrit dans le cadre de la collaboration entre le Lab-STICC, l’UBS et le centre de Kerpape, il se prolongera par la mise en œuvre de l’approche au sein des futures installations domotiques
With the development of technology and information, there are more and more opportunities and challenges for healthcare and assistance services for disabled people as well as the elderly. In this context, this PhD work proposes and demonstrates a new solution for home monitoring. Our approach is based on the idea that existing home automation and multimedia services provide some relevant information to be used as available sensors for remote monitoring. Through the analysis of user habits, our work includes two steps. In the first step, we automate a scenario identification, based on a combination of data mining, AI, graph theory and operational research algorithms to offer scenarios self adapting to user capabilities, while facilitating user access to the services. In the second step, this sensor information is used for alert management based on the anomaly detection, meaning a deviation of usual habits. These two steps provide a low level and non-intrusive personal monitoring while giving people more autonomy and confidence in their environments. A simulation model is developed in a first stage for the generation of user database without waiting for months monitoring user activities. This simulation data allows us to develop, tune and evaluate different aspects of our approach, before being applied in a real context. Then an experimentation through the IR recording is realized to monitor the user activities. The results of these real data allow us to evaluate the performance as well as the efficiency of our solution

Abstract:

As a result of developments, domestic usage of smart appliances by homeowners is increasing drastically. Clustering these appliances together and making them function as an efficient system defines a new place to live or new way of living called a “smart home”. While a smart home provides comfort to homeowners, realizing a smart home involves many technical and business oriented hurdles to be crossed. The primary goal of this thesis work is to design and evaluate the design of a residential gateway. This gateway should be designed as a standardized, secure, open source, hardware independent, and interoperable Residential Gateway. A service-oriented architecture is proposed using the OSGi framework to design the residential gateway and its individual components. These components include an access control component for homeowner authorization, a resource management component for managing connected devices, an automation component to realize an automation service, and finally a context component to provide context aware services to the homeowner. The final design proposed tries to solve the issues faced by some automation systems that are available in market. The evaluation of the design includes whether the design satisfies the basic requirements for a home gateway. This is followed by a comparison with existing systems with an emphasis on the improved features. The components proposed in the design could be used to construct a residential gateway that supports multiple services and multiple users. The proposed design will be taken into consideration during the design of Acreo’s home automation system.
Som en följd av utvecklingen inom vetenskap och teknik så har användningen av smarta lösningar i hushållen ökat drastiskt. Att samla dessa apparater och få dem att fungera tillsammans som ett effektivt system, skapar ett nytt hem och ett nytt sätt att leva: ett smart hem. Å ena sidan så ger smartare lösningar ett bekvämare boende, men å andra sidan innebär det också många tekniska och affärsinriktade hinder att ta sig över. Det primära målet med denna avhandling är att utforma en bostadsgateway som är att utforma en standardiserad, säker, open source, maskinvaruoberoende, interoperabel Residential Gateway. En serviceorienterad arkitektur föreslås med hjälp av OSGi-ramverket för utformning av bostadsgateway-komponenter. Komponenterna innefattar behörighetskontroll för husägare för tillgångskontroll, resurshanteringskomponenter för hantering av anslutna enheter, automationskomponent för att inkludera automationstjänst och slutligen kontextkomponent för att tillhandahålla kontextbevakad tjänster till husägaren. Den slutliga designen som föreslås försöker lösa de problem som vissa automationssystem som finns på marknaden står inför. Utvärderingen av konstruktionen med grundläggande krav för att bygga hemgateways och med befintliga system ger information om de improviserade funktionerna. De komponenter som föreslås i konstruktionen kan användas för att bygga en bostadsgateway som stöder flera tjänster och flera användare. Den föreslagna konstruktionen kommer att beaktas vid utformningen av Acreos hemautomatiseringssystem.

Abstract:

Driven by the advancement of smart electrical grid technologies, automated home energy management systems are being increasingly and extensively studied, developed, and widely accepted. A system like this is indispensable for and symbolic of a smart home. Mixed integer linear programming (MILP) together with dynamic electricity tariff and smart home appliances is a common way to developing energy management systems capable of automatically scheduling appliance operation and greatly saving monetary cost. This study transformed an existing plain MILP model to a goal programming model with priority to better address the conflict among each single appliance cost saving objective and user time preference objective. Constraints regarding the delays between pairs of closely related appliances are either extended or newly introduced. Numerical experiments on five appliances under different situations justify the validness of the proposed framework. Besides, the influences of key parameters on model performance are also investigated.

Abstract:

The aim of this project is to use NI myRIO and LabVIEW for voice controlled home automation. The NI myRIO is an embedded device which has a Xilinx FPGA and a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9processor as well as analog input/output and digital input/output, and is programmed with theLabVIEW, a graphical programming language. The voice control is implemented in two differentsystems. The first system is based on an Amazon Echo Dot for voice recognition, which is acommercial smart speaker developed by Amazon Lab126. The Echo Dot devices are connectedvia the Internet to the voice-controlled intelligent personal assistant service known as Alexa(developed by Amazon), which is capable of voice interaction, music playback, and controllingsmart devices for home automation. This system in the present thesis project is more focusingon myRIO used for the wireless control of smart home devices, where smart lamps, sensors,speakers and a LCD-display was implemented. The other system is more focusing on myRIO for speech recognition and was built on myRIOwith a microphone connected. The speech recognition was implemented using mel frequencycepstral coefficients and dynamic time warping. A few commands could be recognized, includinga wake word ”Bosse” as well as other four commands for controlling the colors of a smart lamp. The thesis project is shown to be successful, having demonstrated that the implementation ofhome automation using the NI myRIO with two voice-controlled systems can correctly controlhome devices such as smart lamps, sensors, speakers and a LCD-display.

Abstract:

Internet of Things, has started to mark its existence from past few years. Right from its inception with a coke machine at Carnegie Mellon University, it has come a long way, connecting billions of devices to internet. This journey is well supported by the advancements in networking, hardware miniaturization and sensing capabilities. Diverse nature of applications of Internet of Things, has cut the communication barriers between the varieties of fields ranging from manufacturing industry to health-care industry. Smart Home is one such application of Internet of Things. Connectivity of home appliances, to achieve automation in living, defines Smart Home. Out of welter of applications that are derived from Internet of Things, this thesis concentrates on Smart Home. Smart Home, in practical is expected to conserve lot of energy, by achieving automation of home appliances, on par with best living experience. Existing technologies such as Z-wave, One-Net, ZigBee, Insteon, had already occupied the Smart Home communication. However, these technologies face the problem of identifying the smart devices uniquely and also exhibit security vulnerabilities. Proposed scheme exploits accelerometer fingerprinting to identify the smart devices uniquely. Security vulnerabilities of existing protocols are addressed by encrypting the data on move with CCM mode of AES encryption.

Abstract:

Home automation is maturing with the increased deployment of networks and intelligent devices in the home. Along with new protocols and devices, new software services will emerge and work together releasing the full potential of networked consumer devices. Services may include home security, climate control or entertainment. With such extensive interworking the phenomenon known as service interaction, or feature interaction, appears. The problem occurs when services interfere with one another causing unexpected or undesirable outcomes. The main goal of this work is to detect undesired interactions between devices and services while allowing positive interactions between services and devices. If the interaction is negative, the approach should be able to handle it in an appropriate way. Being able to carry out interaction detection in the home poses certain challenges. Firstly, the devices and services are provided by a number of vendors and will be using a variety of protocols. Secondly, the configuration will not be fixed, the network will change as devices join and leave. Services may also change and adapt to user needs and to devices available at runtime. The developed approach is able to work with such challenges. Since the goal of the automated home is to make life simpler for the occupant, the approach should require minimal user intervention. With the above goals, an approach was developed which tackles the problem. Whereas previous approaches solving service interaction have focused on the service, the technique presented here concentrates on the devices and their surrounds, as some interactions occur through conflicting effects on the environment. The approach introduces the concept of environmental variables. A variable may be room temperature, movement or perhaps light. Drawing inspiration from the Operating Systems domain, locks are used to control access to the devices and environmental variables. Using this technique, undesirable interactions are avoided. The inclusion of the environment is a key element of this approach as many interactions can happen indirectly, through the environment. Since the configuration of a home’s devices and services is continually changing, developing an off-line solution is not practical. Therefore, an on-line approach in the form of an interaction manager has been developed. It is the manager’s role to detect interactions. The approach was shown to work successfuly. The manager was able to successfully detect interactions and prevent negative interactions from occurring. Interactions were detected at both device and service level. The approach is flexible: it is protocol independent, services are unaware of the manager, and the manager can cope with new devices and services joining the network. Further, there is little user intervention required for the approach to operate.

Abstract:

Home automation systems (HASs)seek to improve the quality of life for individuals through the automation of household devices. Recently, there has been a trend, in academia and industry, to research and develop low-cost Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based HASs (Varchola et al. 2007). WSNs are designed to achieve a low-cost wireless networking solution, through the incorporation of limited processing, memory, and power resources. Consequently, providing secure and reliable remote access for resource limited WSNs, such as WSN based HASs, poses a significant challenge (Perrig et al. 2004). This thesis introduces the development of a hybrid communications approach to increase the resistance of WSN based HASs to remote DoS flooding attacks targeted against a third party. The approach is benchmarked against the dominant GHS remote access approach for WSN based HASs (Bergstrom et al. 2001), on a WSN based HAS test-bed, and shown to provide a minimum of a 58.28%, on average 59.85%, and a maximum of 61.45% increase in remote service availability during a DoS attack. Additionally, a virtual home incorporating a cryptographic based DoS detection algorithm, is developed to increase resistance to remote DoS flooding attacks targeted directly at WSN based HASs. The approach is benchmarked against D-WARD (Mirkovic 2003), the most effective DoS defence identified from the research, and shown to provide a minimum 84.70%, an average 91.13% and a maximum 95.6% reduction in packets loss on a WSN based HAS during a DoS flooding attack. Moreover, the approach is extended with the integration of a virtual home, hybrid communication approach, and a distributed denial of defence server to increase resistance to remote DoS attacks targeting the home gateway. The approach is again benchmarked against the D-WARD defence and shown to decrease the connection latency experienced by remote users by a minimum of 90.14%, an average 90.90%, and a maximum 91.88%.

Abstract:

Detta arbete tar upp utvecklingen av ett nytt protokoll för användning inom Home Automation över IP-nätverk, med stor vikt på flexibilitet och enkelhet. Vi valde att utveckla ett nytt protokoll för Home Automation då en granskning av dagens protokoll visar att dessa inte är tillräckligt öppna eller flexibla för att passa alla enheter som används eller alla scenarion som kan uppstå.

I våra litteraturstudier samlades information in som skapade grunderna för vårt protokoll och gav oss en större inblick i teknikerna bakom dagens tekniker inom home automation. Detta gav oss även möjlighet att senare jämföra vårt färdiga protokoll med redan existerande protokoll för att se om vi lyckats skapa något som kan användas. Metoden vi valde för att utveckla protokollet är en generell designmetod där vi efter granskningen av tidigare protokoll tar fram ett antal punkter som det nya protokollet skall uppnå. Det visade sig dock vara problematiskt att få fram svar om vissa protokoll så vi frångick metoden genom att istället utveckla protokollet utefter ett antal olika scenarion som det bör kunna hantera.

Resultatet av arbetet är ett protokoll som uppfyllde nästan alla mål vi satt upp för det. I de fall vi inte lyckades med att uppfylla målen har vi möjliggjort för framtida expanderingar.

This report covers the development of a new protocol for use in Home Automation over IP networks, with focus on flexibility and simplicity. We chose to develop a new protocol for Home Automation because a review of current protocols suggests that these aren't open or flexible enough to suit every device in use or every scenario that might be applicable.

In our literature studies we gathered information for use as the basis of our protocol and give us more insight into the technologies behind current home automation protocols. This also gave us the opportunity to compare our finished protocol with existing protocols. The method we chose for developing the protocol is a generic design method where after reviewing existing protocols, we establish a number of goals for the new protocol. It did however turn out to be difficult to acquire relevant information about some of the protocols. Because of this we used a slightly different approach, basing the new protocol on a number of scenarios we want it to be able to handle.

The result is a protocol which satisfied almost every goal we established. For the few it didn't, we made it possible to satisfy them with future expansions.

As cost and power consumption of wireless devices decreases, it becomes increasingly practical to use wireless communications and control in residential settings. These networks share some of the same challenges and constraints as conventional telemetry networks. This particular project focused on using a commercial, off-the-shelf router to implement a residential automation system using Z-Wave wireless devices. The router can communicate status, and accept commands over a conventional 802.11 network, but does not require a remote host to operate the network. The router was reprogrammed using open source software, so it could issue commands, collect data, and monitor the Z-Wave network.

Abstract:

In recent years, businesses have begun storing their data in the Cloud due to an increased demand for having business information accessible at remote locations. A large portion of the technology used to store company data in the Cloud is generic software with features applicable to most types of industries. However, the home automation industry does not fit this mold.

Home automation companies’ employees spend most of their time working away from the office. As such, they need to have business information - such as contacts, tasks, work orders, purchase and change orders, accessible from laptops, phones, and tablets. Most companies in the industry use D-Tools System Integrator, a Windows-based application used to generate contracts and sell home automation technologies to clients. However, not only does D- Tools System Integrator fail to provide the tools needed to manage daily operations once a contract is signed, it also fails to provide compatibility with non-Windows computers. Thankfully there is a newly developed system to help fix these shortcomings.

Automation Pro is an online Customer Relationship Management (CRM) System designed by Christopher Schleich, tailored specifically for the home automation industry. Automation Pro is built in ASP.NET and MVC frameworks using Microsoft Visual Studio. The goal of the system is to provide all of the tools that D-Tools System Integrator fails to deliver, and develop a user interface that will automatically resize based on the device accessing the system. The design and implementation of Automation Pro is the focus of this project.

Abstract:

Machine-to-machine, machine-to-man, or man-to-machine (M2M) communications is expected to grow very rapidly over the next few years with an anticipated 50 billion devices being connected to broadband connections by 2020 [35]. To be able to plan and dimension for the expected (increase) in data traffic it is important to have a model for the traffic that will flow through the network. A concept often talked about in conjunction with M2M communications is the “Internet of things”, where billions of “smart” objects are connected to the Internet and can be easily shared and used or re-used by many applications. One sub-field of M2M communications is sensor/actuator networks that are installed in households, creating automated homes by enabling home appliances to talk to each other and to applications that can be running on hosts connected to the Internet. Such sensor/actuator networks extend the uses of home appliances into completely new and exciting applications, while also potentially making homes more energy efficient by smarter management and operation of these appliances. The thesis was proposed by and carried out at Ericsson in Kista, Sweden during the summer and fall of 2009. The academic advisor was G. Q. Maguire Jr. of the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and industrial advisor was Per Ljungberg at Ericsson. This thesis has an industrial focus, specifically to produce models and prototypes that benefit Ericsson as a company and the Ericsson Connected Home project. This thesis has evaluated the available standards and designed, buildt, and evaluated a prototype application for one of these standards to operate with this home gateway. Additionally, the thesis should also benefit the academic world by offering tractable models for M2M traffic that have a foundation in reality, rather than solutions in search of a problem.
Maskin-till-maskin, maskin-till-man, eller man-till-maskin (M2M) kommunikation förväntas växa mycket snabbt under de närmaste åren med förväntade 50 miljarder enheter anslutna till en bredbandsuppkoppling år 2020 [35]. För att kunna planera och dimensionera för den förväntade (ökningen) i datatrafik är det viktigt att ha en modell för den trafik som kommer att flöda genom nätverket. Ett begrepp det ofta talas om i samband med M2M-kommunikation är " Internet of things ", där miljarder "smarta" objekt är anslutna till Internet och enkelt kan delas och användas på nytt sätt och av många användare. En undergrupp inom M2M-kommunikation är sensor nätverk som installeras i hushåll, för att skapa automatiserade hem där hemelektroniken kan prata med andra apparater och program som körs på datorer anslutna till Internet. Sådana sensornätverk utvidgar användningen av hushållsapparater till helt nya och spännande applikationer, samtidigt som det potentiellt göra bostäder mer energisnåla genom smartare förvaltning och drift av dessa apparater. Detta examensarbete görs på uppdrag av Ericsson i Kista, Sverige under sommaren och hösten 2009. Akademisk rådgivare är GQ Maguire Jr från Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) och industriell rådgivare är Per Ljungberg på Ericsson. Examensarbetet har som industriellt fokus att tillverka modeller och prototyper för att modellera trafiken i Ericssons nätverk. Examensarbetets akademiska värde är genom att erbjuda lättgörliga modeller för M2M trafik som har en grund i verkligheten, snarare än lösningar på jakt efter ett problem.

Abstract:

As technology becomes ever more pervasive, the challenges of home automation are increasingly apparent. Seamless home control, home monitoring and home programming by the end user have yet to enter the mainstream. This could be attributed to the challenge of developing a fully autonomous and extensible home system that can support devices and technologies of differing protocols and functionalities. In order to offer programming facilities to the user, the underlying rule system must be fully independent, allowing support for current and future devices. Additional challenges arise from the need to detect and handle conflicts that may arise among user rules and yield undesirable results. Non-technical individuals typically struggle when faced with a programming task. It is therefore vital to encourage and ease the process of programming the home. This thesis presents Homer, a home system that has been developed to support three key features of a home system: control, monitoring and programming. Homer supports any third-party hardware or software service that can expose its functionality through Java and conform to the Homer interface. Stand-alone end user interfaces can be written by developers to offer any of Homer's functionality. Where policies (i.e. rules) for the home are concerned, Homer offers a fully independent policy system. The thesis presents a custom policy language, Homeric, that has been designed specifically for writing home rules. The Homer policy system detects overlaps and conflicts among rules using constraint satisfaction and the effect on environment variables. The thesis also introduces the notion of perspectives to ease user interactivity. These have been integrated into Homer to accommodate the range of ways in which a user may think about different aspects and features of their home. These perspectives include location, device type, time and people-oriented points of view. Design guidelines are also discussed to aid end user programming of the home. The work presented in this thesis demonstrates a system that supports control, monitoring and programming of the home. Developers can quickly and easily add functionality to the home through components. Conflicts can be detected amongst rules within the home. Finally, design guidelines and a prototype interface have been developed to allow both technically minded and non-technical people to program their home.

Abstract:

The thesis, Intelligent Home Automation Security System Based on Novel Logical Sensing and Behavior Prediction, was designed to enhance authentication, authorization and security in smart home devices and services. The work proposes a three prong defensive strategy each of which are analyzed and evaluated separately to drastically improve security. The Device Fingerprinting techniques proposed, not only improves the existing approaches but also identifies the physical device accessing the home cybernetic and mechatronic systems using device specific and browser specific parameters. The Logical Sensing process analyses home inhabitant actions from a logical stand point and develops sophisticated and novel sensing techniques to identify intrusion attempts to a home’s physical and cyber space. Novel Behavior prediction methodology utilizes Bayesian networks to learn normal user behavior which is later compared to distinguish and identify suspicious user behaviors in the home in a timely manner. The logical sensing, behavior prediction and device fingerprinting techniques proposed were successfully tested, evaluated and verified in an actual home cyber physical system. The algorithms and techniques proposed in the thesis can be easily modified and adapted into many practical applications in Industrial Internet of Things, Industry 4.0 and cyber-physical systems.

Abstract:

This project revolves around creating a home automation system prototype with the main focus being the ability to lock/unlock a door through the internet. The system consists of a central device, a server and an Android application.The central device is a microprocessor, in this case, a Raspberry Pi that connects to the Internet and receives an order to control a motor which in turn turns the lock with the help of gears. The ability to rotate the motor in both directions is achieved by the use of an H-bridge. The server manages users and devices, and handles the communication between the application and the central device. Users and devices are stored in a database on the server. The application is a frontend which presents the user with a list of devices to interact with.The main prototype where the Raspberry Pi acted as a central device was abandoned due to time and resource constraints. It was instead used to control the motor directly. This brought up some problems concerning powering the device using batteries. The software of the prototype is mostly working but due to the same time limitations not all planned features could be implemented.

Abstract:

To date, the propagation of technology has reached almost everybody on our planet. Smartphones are so widespread that they are more than the number of humans. This means that almost everyone has a small computer in his pocket. Furthermore, automation pervades our lives increasingly as the days go by. We have smart cars, smart traffic lights, smart tools and any other smart thing one can think about. Among all these smart things, one of the most appreciated by mankind is the smart house. A pleasing environment where you do not have to move from the sofa to turn off the light or check your fridge or play some music on your stereo. You can do everything with just a few touches on your phone. The drawback of all these comforts is that you need a different application for each smart component or you need to buy from a single vendor. We want to address this issue by giving a common access point for a smart house in its entirety. One of the most common application types installed on smartphones is the chat application. We want to create a chatbot that lets the user control every component of their house from a single application. This is not our only goal. We also want to extend our system to read sensor information yielded by city sensors. This lets you know, for example, the temperature of a specific city in real time or it can show you free parking in a specific area. The only limit is the distribution of sensors in the environment. We design a scalable, extensible and secure system to handle both the sensor reading and the smart house control. All this is achieved with just a chatbot and no other burdensome applications. The contribution of this thesis is three-folded: first, we analyze the application domain in order to identify the main components of the system. We then design and implement the system as a container for other sub-systems. Finally, we design and implement the connection layer between all the sub-systems.

In this thesis the application of the wireless sensor network to the Home Automation supervision and Skype automatic reporting system is investigated. The Skype communication software is based on the API (Application Protocol Interface) and to set up the remote video security system which has internet automatic reporting system capability. The Home Automation system adopts various induction components with the Bluetooth wireless sensor network module. In addition, the Bluetooth technology is one to one or to many transmission functions to transmit the unusual message feedback to supervision administrative center. The remote control center adopts the supervision system by using Visual Basic (VB) that receives message and auto-save the information into to the database. It is easy for the user and security person to enquire and the user can know what is happening at home immediately trough the message. The Skype automatic reporting system which uses charge-transfer touch sensor is fitted on the doorbell when it has different message back to the remote supervision center. The supervision system via VB operation function can initiated the internet phone call of Skype and receive remote security situation. The main function for the remote of video security system is to use the internet video camera to take images and reach security condition. On the communication server the PDA mobile or wireless LAN Card is used to connect with supervision center to monitor Home Automation state. The user can achieve communication by internet easily through the Skype platform. Besides, this platform can be used for remote video security supervision, too. This system is suitable for home or factory automation which can ensure more safety and convenient.

In the E-era, people concern about speed, efficiency, and convenience. Using network becomes an essential skill. Accessing data via Internet is a trend, and so is in the home automation field. In this thesis, we propose a seven-layer home-automation-system development architecture that is simple, modulized, and expandable. And based on this architecture, we implement an economic, centralized home automation system. It is web-based, and is adapted to some open standards such as TCP, XML, HTTP, etc. The user-operating device is a PC or a cellular phone. The user interface is a web browser or a micro-browser. The core of the system is a database. The design of replacing the ordinary human- machine interface by accessing web database allows the user who is capable of designing homepages to participate in the design and to enjoy the fun of DIY. The ultimate goal of this thesis is to let people easily control the household electric devices or appliances wherever they are, so as to provide them with a more comfortable and convenient life.

The study proposes to use an Android-based smart phone as home automation monitor, and creates on the home control server on the monitor a user-friendly interface, where users will be able to control home appliances through the user-friendly interface. The monitor would transmit control signal to Bluetooth hardware gateway for the conversion of RF wireless control signal through Bluetooth device to control lamp, door lock, electric fan, air-condition and other home appliance devices through a manner of RF wireless transmission. The study even combined temperature and door lock access sensor applications. Users would be able to set up the range of air-condition and electric fan automated temperature control and the monitor would activate electric fan and air-condition as per temperature number detected. The Monitor would ring the doorbell to notify users of visitors coming once visitors press the doorbell, while access control would able to detect whether gangsters would like to break into the house maliciously, and then the monitor will send a text message and notify user through Gmail proactively. In order to allow users to understand the status of residence anytime and anywhere, the study uses i-jetty micro web server and installed it in the monitor, thus smart phone can be used to connect to the monitor from other places through internet, to monitor situation and control home appliance devices at home anytime.
