HGI workshop to explore home energy management
The Home Gateway Initiative (HGI), member-led organisation devoted to translating broadband service providers’ service plans into published technology requirements, will share its in-home architecture of triple-play services alongside other specific requirements for home energy management (HEM) at a workshop at Telecom Italia laboratories in Turin, Italy, between 30 – 31 March.
HGI has a membership of vendors and operators from around the world that work together to define requirements for home enablers.
“We have now established an in-home architecture for triple-play services and also specifications leading to the home gateway becoming an open application platform,” said Duncan Bees, chief technical officer of HGI. “The time has come for us to share our findings with partner technology providers and smart meter and white goods industry representatives.”
HGI has documented, through contributions by its service provider members and cooperation with industry consortia such as Energy@Home and Beywatch, a detailed view of the services required by consumers to manage energy usage in the home, together with an initial understanding of architecture elements that support those services.
