摘要:Energy problem is becoming one of the toughest issues nowadays. In order to meet the increased demands regarding energy awareness, we have been developing a new way of representing and interacting with energy in electric products, specifically home appliances. The Ubi-PowerMeter is such a paradigm, which consists of hardware devices including smart meters and residential gateway, wireless communication based on ZigBee protocol, intelligent component to analyze gathered data, and interface design involving GSM module and the construction of web site. Using this full functional prototype, this paper also investigates the accuracy and stability of it, as well as the effect on reducing energy consumption.
