Abstract
The EC funded 'Smart Homes' project commenced in 2001 as a 3 year programme. The primary objective is to
establish Internet-based energy services and test these within field trials in Sweden, Greece, the Czech Republic
and the UK. The tasks include the prototyping and testing of energy services for citizens and professionals, and
the establishment of cable and wireless approaches to Internet connection. The implementations are based on
residential gateway, or 'e-box', technology. Users, for example utilities, citizens, local authority energy
managers and health care providers, can access the information through standard Web browsers and, depending
on the particular energy service, may transmit information or control requests back to the originating homes.
This paper sets out the overall structure of the SmartHomes system and reports on progress to date.
