Abstract:
The constantly increasing energy consumption requires to make people aware of energy and the trend towards the smart home makes it possible. Every manufacturer of so-called smart products uses its own application to display the data obtained. However, this makes it difficult for users to see a connection between individual devices. Even if people are using a smart home hub to collect data from multiple devices, the data is still separated in different charts or tables and hard to compare. To offer them more transparency in their smart home, an application was developed for electricians that want to offer their customers added value without great effort. This app makes the data of the devices available in a central location and provides an overview of the energy flow users can easily interpret.
