Case Study / Energy Control

Energy Control

We helped to develop a unique intelligent system providing

security and reduced energy costs. We developed software

components for an application which provides information

about actual electricity consumption, and sets up times for

switching devices on and off, communicating via GSM

modem.

Results Achieved:

Product brings dramatic savings to end users

Easy to use interface

Integrated with various hardware devices

Remote control and monitoring of appliances from one place

Client / ENcontrol s.r.o., Czech Republic

Technology / .NET, C#

Project Description

The whole system is designed to be easily adjustable, modifiable and manageable.

The client required an application for control of devices’ electricity consumption with the

help of preset selections and orders from SMS messages.

Case Study / T-Mobile

What we implemented

The application presents a listing of actual electricity consumption, sets up times for

switching the devices on and off, reacts to changes in sensor states, and creates reports

about consumption within a particular time segment.

A GSM modem, and a special modem with connected devices, provide the

communications interfaces for the application, using defined protocols.

Case Study / Energy Control

The GSM Modem communicates with cell phones, receiving orders via SMS messages,

and sending information and notifications. The special modem communicates with all

devices in the room or house.

Conclusion

Developed software components, together with ENcontrol hardware, provide comfort,

security and energy-saving capabilities to users:

Programming of switching and measuring

Controlling appliances from one place

Remote switching and measuring

Connecting various devices

Immediate transfer of pre-defined information to the user

Remote activity monitoring

Monitoring current consumption

Monitoring changes of consumption
