Power-managed smart lighting using a semantic interoperability architecture

We present a power-managed smart lighting system that allows collaboration of Consumer Electronics (CE) lighting-devices and corresponding system architectures provided by different CE suppliers. In the example scenario, the rooms of a building are categorized as low- and high-priority, each category utilizing a different system architecture. The rooms collaborate through a semantic interoperability platform. The overall smart lighting system conforms to a power quota regime and maintains a target power consumption level by automatically adjusting power consumed by luminaries in the building. Experiments with CE devices of different suppliers operating on different networks show that the semantic interoperability architecture allows device collaboration that can lead to lower power cost.
