An innovative Home and Building Automation design tool for Nanogrids Applications

The home and building automation systems evolution, creates the necessity to define new formalities for the clear and univocal description of their functionalities. To describe the operation of such a system, it is necessary therefore to add a further level that keeps in mind the logical connections among devices and their configurations. The addition of this level makes unambiguous the description of the plant functionalities. From the current state of the art it arises the demand of creating a software that allows the home automation system designer to exclusively focus on the logical functionalities of the system, furnishing to the system integrator the general details for the hardware settings. Particularly, the new network implementation details (KNX system, proprietary systems, etc.) will be completely transparent to the designer. The objective is to get a project documentation that is possible to adapt both for KNX home automation systems and for proprietary systems managed by a gateway (Xiaomi or Google Home).
