碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 自動化科技研究所 === 100 === In recent years, global warming and climate anomalies have caused serious impact on the survival of mankind and the ecology of the Earth. Therefore, how to manage energy effectively has become a critical issue. With the rise of the Internet, the uses of smart home appliances and home network have grown up rapidly. It extends a variety of home-oriented services to meet the information sharing within the home appliances, communication and automation control requirements. Home gateway based on OSGi is can integrate heterogeneous network standards in home environment and also become the communication media of external and internal network. Due to OSGi have the characteristic of multi-platform, so can provide a diverse and consistent user interface. The primary objective of this thesis is to develop a home automation system based on OSGi open information platform. For solving heterogeneous technologies that are incompatible with each other, developed a home automation system which is built on an embedded system which integrates with Linux operating system and OSGi framework. The home automation system is established as a system management server providing home appliances load control, real-time information regarding the consumptions of electricity and historical information. By developing the system, users can instantaneously monitor home appliances load and examine the entire loads or a single load regarding electricity consumptions through Smart TV. Also, the system can control the switches through cable or wireless communication modules and simultaneously monitor home load appliances through browsers. The home automation system intends to assist users in understanding home electricity consumptions in order to save energy by adjusting living habits, and ultimately in accomplishing the environmental protection.
