Description
Summary:	The number of electronic devices found in home environments is increasing, leading to an increase in the energy consumption in users' premises. Introducing a Home Energy Management System (HEMS) into user residences might provide the necessary tools to reduce and optimize the energy consumption in home environments. However, this is not an easy task as devices can use different communication technologies and be manufactured by different producers which can lead to interoperability issues. This paper presents a home gateway designed for a HEMS system that offers interoperability between the different devices at the service level and provides the necessary tools to apply energy management strategies.
