1 – The Home Automation market is a new
world of applications

What is Orange Home Automation ?
A bunch of services and smart devices installed at home that allow
• an always-on system that watches over your home and alerts you if something goes wrong (Serenity)
• an easy management of actuators with well
designed and rich interfaces (Comfort)
• the optimisation of electricity and gas
consumptions (Energy)

Home Automation and Smart Home
• Other services can be met by the Home Automation
infrastructure • Health: The care of elderly or handicapped people at home
(Ambient Assisted Living)
• Wellness: A coach at Home
• Multimedia : Content sharing
• A new world of applications will emerge with the variety
of sensors, actuators, and devices that become
available

2 – The Home Automation market just slowly emerges
Orange Open Home Automation Infrastructure - J.M. Ortholand, A. Bottaro, D. Schellhoss Page 8
A slowly emerging market
• The Smart Home Market is fragmented into niche markets • Proprietary protocols, APIs and solutions
• Expensive solutions with a professional installation
• Numerous partnerships on vertical applications
Weak ecosystem structure
Weak infrastructure for sharing applications
Multiple standards = weak integration

Opportunity : Catalyze the market through the
share of a common technical infrastructure
• Leverage a common ICT infrastructure • Standard sensor networks
• Advanced Home Gateway or a box dedicated to home automation apps
• Remote Device/Network Management platform
• To lower the barriers and make the market emerge • Lower installation and maintenance costs of each service
• Go beyond quadruple play, accelerate service delivery
• Enlarge the Home Automation market

OSGi and ProSyst
• Sharing and isolation
• Java
• Embedded solution
• Main provider for embedded OSGi
• Industrial approach (licensing,
standardization)
• HDM abstraction layer

5 – Challenges remain for the infrastructure to
be open to 3rd party applications
Orange Open Home Automation Infrastructure - J.M. Ortholand, A. Bottaro, D. Schellhoss Page 18
An advanced state of the art, however incomplete Embedded service software platform Partial solution to be improved
Resource sharing and isolation on a common embedded software
platform
OSGi is the technology reference on the market before .NET and
Androïd but it addresses only code sharing and isolation
Robustness, adaptation to constrained devices, transactional
guaranties
OSGi Micro Edition – specified by Orange and IS2T, maintained
by IS2T – shows promises, however demands testing and tools.
Security – management of the access rights to applications, to
hardware functions and to deployed sensors
Dynamic and distributed application programming, data mediation
infrastructure
Device and software management platform and application
shops
Partial solution to be improved
Modular validation of applications Tools are needed to bring guarantees before deployment
Openness of device management platforms and application shop
tools to 3rd parties
Secure and scalable tools remain to be developed.
Modular application deployment and administration Protocols exist (TR-69) and need to be adapted and integrated.
Sensor network management Protocols (TR-69) need to be adapted and tested against concrete
use cases based on new low rate sensor networks (ZigBee).
Hardware box platform and sensor networks Partial solution to be improved
Low power and low cost technology requirements
Technology interoperability The promise of ZigBee and IPv6 must be guaranteed.
Consistent integration of sensor network technologies on a
hardware platform

6 – Open the box!
Orange and ProSyst ambition
Application designers (bundles & services) Platform administrators & application stores Techno providers (SW part of the platform) Hardware providers (HW part of the platform)
• Create a dynamic market of applications with Home players:
• Standardize the infrastructure: OSGi, HGI, BBF, UPnP … and ZigBee
• Keep in touch for the using of Orange APIs !
