Home Automation, Auto-rem & In-Home Display Solutions
 |
|
The home area network (HAN) refers to the
ecosystem of devices within the home that are
connected to the smart grid through a smart meter,
through a home energy gateway, or directly in
some cases. Some examples of these devices are
in-home displays (IHDs) for power-consumption
monitoring (see block diagram), smart appliances
that respond to time-of-use pricing signals,
smart thermostats that cycle the air conditioning
in response to peak-load-reduction signaling
from the utilities, or smart plugs that can monitor
power consumption and control appliances.
Activities in the HAN can be broadly split into three
categories: Measurement, communication
and control. TI has comprehensive solutions
to address each of these three categories.
Measurement refers to the metrology or powermeasurement
piece that is addressed by a
suite of our solutions based on the MSP430™
microcontroller. Communications between the
smart meter and devices can be via a wireless
standard such as ZigBee®. Devices in the HAN
might communicate with each other via power line
communications (PLC), ZigBee or other wireless
standards such as Wi-Fi®. TI has proven software
and hardware solutions supporting each of these
communication interfaces. The last piece of the
HAN is controlling the components based on the
measurement and communication. This can be done
by using IHDs or via a web portal. It can also be
done by sending signals directly to load controllers
or smart plugs.

In-Home Display System
An IHD is essentially a display, portable or in a wall (for new homes), that can communicate with utility meters (electric, gas, water) and others communication enabled in-home appliances (using ZigBee, Wireless MBus for instance). When ZigBee enabled, it can be set up to act as a coordinator or router. Thanks to these communication features, it can receive custom real-time messages from the utility companies regarding billing, energy prices and more.
