Abstract

In the present paper we investigate one of the emerging applicability fields of pervasive computing, that is, energy management and saving. We exploit innovative technologies to define a brand new system architecture for (i) centralized monitoring and (ii) real-time energy saving in distributed sub-networks of power consuming electric appliances. The architecture allows the definition of reactive and intelligent systems that take autonomous courses of action on electric devices. We also introduce a prototype which is an embodiment of such architecture, called \(\textit{MyElettra}\).

Notes

  1. 1.

    We deliberately excluded cloud integration from object abstraction, where the idea of “local” is predominant and high performances are not required.

  2. 2.

    The protocol of choice has been the ZigBee protocol.
