Abstract

Home automation systems represent the front-end of smart grids, where the energy monitoring and control operations are enabled through smart devices installed in households and residential buildings. There are many home automation technologies available in the market, and the users are left to select their choice of best technology. Proper guidelines to their selection currently remain low. Therefore, in this paper, a comparison of popular home automation technologies is presented from user perspective to fill this void in the research literature, and to empower the users with more details based on the current home automation market. X10, Z-Wave, ZigBee, INSTEON, and EnOcean are the home automation technologies compared in this paper. Two indices are developed as the outcome of this paper to represent the performance and affordability of these technologies, as a guideline to the potential users. We find these technologies fit out a tradeoff of higher performance and price (Z-Wave) down to lower performance and price (X10). With this understanding, appropriate choices can be made.

流行的家庭自动化技术的比较

家庭自动化系统代表智能电网的前端，通过安装在家庭和住宅建筑中的智能设备实现能源监测和控制操作。市场上有许多家庭自动化技术可供选择，用户可以选择最好的技术。目前，正确的选择准则仍然很低。因此，本文从用户的角度对目前流行的家庭自动化技术进行比较，以填补研究文献的空白，并根据目前的家庭自动化市场，为用户提供更详细的信息。本文对X10、Z-Wave、ZigBee、INSTEON、EnOcean等家庭自动化技术进行了比较。作为本文的研究成果，我们制定了两个指标来代表这些技术的性能和可承受性，作为潜在用户的指导方针。我们发现这些技术适合在更高的性能和价格(Z-Wave)与更低的性能和价格(X10)之间进行权衡。有了这种理解，就可以做出适当的选择。
