TAHI INTEROPERABILITY STANDARDS

1. TAHIINTEROPERABILITYSTANDARDS PCA: The Industry Conference Blunsdon House Hotel 30th October 2008 Stephen Pattenden – Telemetry Associates Limited / TAHI / CENELEC

2. INTEROPERABILITY: A KEY TO INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS : WARSAW - 6-7th February 2008 TAHIINTEROPERABILITYSTANDARDS a look at how the home environment is creating business opportunities for the IT industry and TAHI’s role in making this happen

3. CONTENTS FUTURE SCENARIO CONVERGENCE & INTEROPERABILITY A/V & ENTERTAINMENT’S ROLE COMPLEXITY & CHAOS INTEROPERABILITY REQUIREMENTS AN INTEROPERABILITY FRAMEWORK AN INITIATIVE TAHI

4. SCENARIO FOR THE FUTURE • THIS IS WHERE WE SHOULD BE IN 20 YEARS TIME……

5. Smart Homes with home electronic systems have become the “must have” in the market – everybody has one!

7. Multiple manufacturers supply the market

8. Everything has a processor in it, everything can communicate and multiple systems and protocols can be used

9. We have entertainment systems (a/v, multi-media etc.) and they all work together and link into the Future Internet and you can have whatever entertainment whenever you want it

10. We have Energy Management systems saving energy by monitoring everything that uses energy Telecare and Health systems looking after the elderly at home Physical security systems keeping us safe

11. We have Home Automation systems running the house and looking after lighting, windows, doors .. PC and IT Systems linked to A/V and helping us work from home Domestic Appliance Systems being monitored for optimum working efficiency

12. potentially 450 Million Smart Homes across Europe with multiple systems, multiple devices - maybe 1 Billion World-wide

13. So what’s the problem? • we have a €600 Billion per annum market • we have a digital society • every entertainment source is at our fingertips Well ………

14. Any home will have multiple systems that will share the same physical media

15. No two homes will have quite the same mix of systems, services, networks, media

16. Installers, vendors and consumers fit equipment on an ad-hoc basis

17. 0.1% of consumers may know what is installed 0.0001% may understand how it all works together

18. 90% of homes will have some sort of home electronic system Worldwide there may be up to 1 Billion of such homes by 2027

19. Multiple interoperable systems need management and it is not trivial

20. potentially 450 Million Smart Homes across Europe with multiple systems, multiple devices - maybe 1 Billion World-wide

21. Smart Home systems will be much more varied than your offices. In the office you have skilled IT specialists who keep the office working . . . . . . . . . ?

22. In the home you

23. Checking the integrity of the security system Fault in the security system - house closing down System error the house will reboot in 20 seconds Ring 08 70 33 34 44 4 for support services (calls cost €15,00 per minute) Communication systems closing down Don’t panic! Don’t panic! Don’t panic! Don’t panic! Don’t panic! Don’t panic! Don’t panic . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . help!

24. In the home you DON’T have any IT support If we don’t have real INTEROPERABILITY making everything work together This will be a major BARRIER to market growth

25. We have to find ways to use automatic systems to manage Smart Homes – we do not have the people to do it

26. We need Interoperability and Management Frameworks that allow existing systems to interoperate

27. We need self healing software, firmware, hardware, networks and devices

28. We have to have totally reliable systems or systems that degrade gracefully – some applications will be life critical

29. We are not there yet! We simply cannot have the Smart Home “crashing”. How do you reboot the house?

30. We have to get it right now before the mass market gets under way And we don’t have much time left.

31. So what does the A/V, Networked Media, Entertainment sector have to do with all this? We have DLNA, UPnP, HANA, DVB, ITU, ETSI IGRS, KNX, LON, Zigbee, Providing all the answers … . But lots of other stuff in the home such as assisted living, energy management, etc..

32. ENTERTAINMENT is not the ONLY system in the digital home • it uses energy • so we may need to measure and control energy use • community and telecare systems may need to use it for communicating with people. • other systems use the same media • we may need to link with entry and security systems

33. The Entertainment system has a key role in providing the information conduit to and from all the other smart systems in the digital home

34. Entertainment Systems

35. A Telecare system will need to use A/V systems to provide communication between carer and patient

36. Telecare Sector

37. A Home Control system will need to have an easy to use interface for setting the environment.

38. A door entry system will need to show who is at the door and have controls to open the door to welcome visitors – displayed on the TV, PC or even the Mobile phone

39. Security Sector

40. Domestic Appliances will be monitored to keep them working in perfect condition and it will be possible to send alerts to the A/V system

41. Appliances Sector

42. An Energy system will need to use A/V to show energy used, tips for saving energy and what all the devices in the system use

43. Energy Management

44. A key requirement is they may all need to work together there may be necessity for priorities between applications.

45. Interoperability between Sectors A typical application may check the window open sensor and turn off the radiator and report to the TV or PC Or the Smart Meter may tell the fridge the current demand for energy and get it to switch off temporarily • IT and Home Network • Security (physical) • Energy Management • Entertainment • Smart Metering • White Goods PC Window open sensor Room occupancy sensor Smart Electricity Meter Radiator control

46. More than just Entertainment • As we have seen the Entertainment sector is more than it seems • it entertains – and that is complex enough • it will provide information • it will display information • it will be one of a number of interfaces for providing control to systems in the Smarthouse • other sectors need it as an interface • This convergence leads to complexity

47. Complexity and Chaos • Each sector is working on interoperability • many applications need to use resources from many sectors • every home will be different • different stakeholders will provide / pay for / “own” different components. • (permissions, priorities, micro payments etc.) • (knowing what is already installed – what it does and who owns it)

48. Complexity and Chaos • The net result is a situation of • multiple systems in the home • Very high levels of variability and complexity • No visibility of available systems, applications and components • No guarantee of QoS or integrity of information • In other words unless we can do something about the situation – CHAOS • We need standards for Interoperability that apply ACROSS sectors

49. Potential chaos is a market opportunity Integrating, managing, diagnosing and repairing systems in the home is a new service. What is this service worth?

50. TAHI Interoperability and Standards • Most standards for equipment in the SmartHouse standardise within that equipment type • Interchangeability rather than interoperability • interoperability between similar equipment in networks and communication • Most Standardisation in the Home does not cover interworking with different product types or sectors • Some sectors have specified Interoperability within their sectors (DLNA, HANA, DVB, ETSI/ITU, CECED, KNX) • However, convergence is requiring that devices and systems in different sectors work together
