Objective
The objectives of the HOME project were to propose standards suitable for bringing products onto the market which can be used in multi-brand and multi-applications home systems, with extensions to cover small business and service premises; analyse the wiring infrastructure, with special emphasis on bus-integrated installation, requirements, and installation support; validate and demonstrate the proposals made; provide draft home and building specifications to relevant parties.
The functional standardization necessary to ensure the interworking of an expandable, self-configuring home control system has been described. The system is modelled as a set of functional elements (simple devices, complex devices and device coordinators) overseen by a controller.
Home systems (HOME) applications are emerging as an important market sector. Communications and control standards for a systems approach have to be extended and further developed. The objectives of the HOME project are to:
propose standards suitable for bringing products onto the market which can be used in multibrand and multiapplications home systems, with extensions to cover small business and service premises;
analyze the wiring infrastructure, with special emphasis on bus integrated installation, requirements, and installation support;
validate and demonstrate the proposals made;
provide draft home and building specifications to relevant parties.
The current state of the art is characterized by the fact that though only single brand applications are visible in the market at present, preparations are underway internationally for a multiapplications systems approach. Preliminary proposals for standards to support such a development have been prepared in Japan and the United States, and also in Europe. However, it is obvious that further advances are necessary, and the HOME project intends to achieve them.
The main outcomes of the project are:
user requirement specifications and scenarios for the Home and Building of the Future;
a proposition of home systems standards;
validation results;
a draft installation guide and best practice recommendation;
relevant multibrand and multiapplication demonstrations.
Home systems applications are emerging as an important market sector. Communications and control standards for a systems approach have to be extended and further developed. These standards will allow the use of multi-brand and multi-application products in the home, and will take account of extensions to cover small business and service premises. The intended target markets include the consumer electronics, white goods, brown goods, lighting, telecommunications and installation sectors. The convergence of these different sectors will create new opportunities and added value to current products. An evolutionary approach, supported by architectural integrity, will therefore be followed.
