An Effective Approach for Home Services Management

Domotic systems aim to offer functionalities like energy management, security, conveniences, and much more. Many domotic networks exist to provide a subset of these applications, but these networks are not necessarily compatible due to different communication mediums or protocols. Literature presents different studies that introduce high-level systems that solve the lack of incompatibility, but it does not explore how to create a network behavior. This paper concentrates on studying how to model the unit behaviors of home devices and a global behavior of a network of these devices: the automated living area. The global behavior is set-up with rules and constraints. The behaviors are modeled with an extended automaton input-output symbolic transition systems. To finish this paper, a use case shows the interest of building global behavior with unit behaviors.
