REMOTE TRACING OF IN-HOUSE EVENTS IN HOME AUTOMATION
Abstract
Measurement and control systems are essential in industrial applications. They are used to control and automate all kinds of processes during production. Their use in private homes is not so obvious due to the fact that the requirements are totally different. Although there are systems to connect sensors and actuators inside buildings using fieldbus technology they are only used for simple tasks like switching light and controlling the heating installation.<BR /> Through a gateway it is possible to build tele-services that allow any kind of maintenance by the inhabitants or service personal. The service personal will be able to run diagnostics on parts of the system as far as allowed (heat control, failure analysis on certain devices, surveillance, etc.). The access has to be restricted to prevent unauthorized persons to intrude the system.<BR /> This work will describe the gateway and the concepts used to share well defined services that are provided to users remotely and locally.
