With a lot of sports action in the past weeks (read cricket, formula one, moto gp) I haven’t been able to run the last mile of my smart meter marathon. Finally this would be the last post in the entire smart meter series where we would take a brief look at how smart homes are envisioned to look like.
The vision for a Smart Home is not just about installing a smart meter and linking it upto the supplier. Following diagram depicts a vision of where we want to get to with a smart home:
Every Smart meter home in the grid will have a,
Smart meter can communicate with the household devices and other smart appliances over the HAN via wireless technologies
ii. Home Display Unit (HDU)
It’s a display unit, communicating with the Smart meter over the HAN, giving consumption information
iii. Wide Area Networks (WANs)
Consumption information alongwith other metrics can be viewed over the internet on computers, hand held’s etc
So a smart home will be like a mesh of smart appliances, each interacting with one another improving consumer experience.
Please do send me your comments about the entire smart meter series…Ciao…
