Abstract
In the last years energy consumption in the home
environments has increased considerably. There is an interest to
provide users with means to reduce their energy consumption.
Introducing a Home Energy Management System (HEMS) into
user residences might provide the necessary tools to reduce and
optimize the energy consumption in home environments. The
main element of HEMS is the home gateway. In this paper, a
home gateway suitable for HEMS is presented. The home gateway
proposed uses rules to implement the home energy management
system. The rules can be downloaded though web services from
a rule server. Furthermore, web services are used to provide
modularity to the home gateway by enabling the deployment
of the different logical components into different devices, if
necessary.
