Abstract :
A prototype platform was designed, implemented and tested to act as the foundation of a novel intelligent home energy management system which can manage the overall consumption of a house while taking into account user preferences and dynamic tariffs. In order to reduce the implementation cost and to increase the platform stability, the system was designed to employ independent stand-alone devices based on microcontrollers.
