Energy Management in Smart Home

Abstract

This thesis aims to illuminate possibilities of increasing efficient energy use by creating visualization of measured energy consumption for end-user with respect to KNX technology. The motivation of creating system of KNX devices for monitoring and controlling energy consumption was reasons of increased demand of usage mobile devices and promotion of energy saving by visualization and using renewable energy. In this thesis are described and considered several ways for energy management, first and the most important is visualization, as consumer is able to monitor and manage energy and electricity consumption via mobile device and PC that makes possible to motivate user for smart use of energy and set alarms of over limit energy consumption. By the other hand remote control is flexible, comfortable and the idea that they can manage lighting and heating via mobiles attracts people. Mobile control is best solution to avoid paying extra money for buying touch panels.
