The home automation systems (HASs) and products market has seen significant growth over the past decade. The current HAS architecture is based on a centralized network coordinator to form, manage, and supervise the network system. Each smart home device is typically manually on-boarded onto the network through the coordinator. If the network coordinator fails or a user wishes to change the technology provider, the HAS needs to be recommissioned. Recommissioning can be a tedious task, as it involves manual on-boarding of possibly a multitude of existing smart home devices onto the new network coordinator. This tight coupling between the devices and network coordinator is seen as a significant road-block for further expansion of the HAS market. Here, we present a HAS proxy that incorporates mechanisms to eliminate tight coupling between smart home devices and a centralized network coordinator. Our HAS proxy approach enables one-touch on-boarding of existing smart home devices onto any new network coordinator with devices being oblivious of the process rendering network recommissioning unnecessary. We evaluated the concept in a simulator for HAS along with our HAS proxy.

通过一键式网络重新调试更换家庭自动化系统协调器


家庭自动化系统 (HAS) 和产品市场在过去十年中出现了显着增长。当前的HAS架构基于集中式网络协调器来形成、管理和监督网络系统。每个智能家居设备通常通过协调器手动登录到网络。如果网络协调器出现故障或用户希望更换技术提供商，则需要重新调试 HAS。重新调试可能是一项繁琐的任务，因为它涉及将可能的大量现有智能家居设备手动登录到新的网络协调器上。设备和网络协调器之间的这种紧密耦合被视为进一步扩展 HAS 市场的重要障碍。在这里，我们提出了一个 HAS 代理，它结合了消除智能家居设备和集中式网络协调器之间紧密耦合的机制。我们的 HAS 代理方法可以将现有智能家居设备一键式连接到任何新的网络协调器上，而设备无需考虑该过程，无需重新调试网络。我们在 HAS 模拟器以及我们的 HAS 代理中评估了这个概念。
