Abstract
The parallel growth of intelligent home automation and small-scale DC distribution has presented new opportunities to improve the functionality and performance of residential spaces. A “smart home” of the future will feature advancements in two essential layers of the house infrastructure: the power distribution layer and the information technology (IT) layer. This paper will discuss implementations of these two layers and present technologies that can conveniently and safely unite them, reducing expense and accelerating the adoption of smart home concepts.
