abstract = {This master thesis deals with smart metering in the context of smart home. Smart metering is the approach to equip households with electronic meters that provide additional features beyond the consumption measurement. The major application is the monitoring and transmission of energy consumption data. The aim of this thesis is to explain the integration of smart metering in a smart home environment and to present the benefits and features of such an integration. Smart meters can measure the energy-consumption in a household and the evaluated data is stored for further processing and functions. This data can provide a reliable energy supply and efficient energy savings in combination with smart home applications. Further aspects of this work are the advantages and disadvantages of smart meters compared to traditional electric meters. This comparison shall show if smart metering can prevail in the near future. The biggest interest in the integration of smart metering into smart home is the communication and the transmission of energy data in a way that it is suitable for smart home applications. The storing and transmission of such data requires efficient data management. Practical examples and experiments in a lab with a constructed Smart Home environment illustrate the technical specifications and aspects. A smart home environment can be built easily with a bus coupler, sensors and switches. Using the right equipment, the power supply can be integrated into the smart home network and the smart metering functions can be enabled. Some examples of applications and functions shall describe the possibilities of Smart metering in Smart home.}

year = {2013},
month = {May},
abstract = {{Smart Homes are an upcoming trend seen in the last couple of years in company facilities as well as private homes. The benefits of using home automation are usability and expandability which more than compensate for the higher installation costs compared to standard technologies. Security concerns are not yet considered in actual technologies and installations. As soon as an attacker has physical access to the home network he can read out information from the Smart Home and use all the possibilities provided by automation system. If the Smart Home installation provides the possibility to open the main entrance door it is obvious that it is necessary to protect the access of the home automation bus system. This paper tries to apply strategies and technologies used by firewalls in current internet installations to the home automation space where such techniques are not used yet. For this master thesis the Smart Homes system KNX was chosen since its usage increases every year and it could become the target of attacks. Initially the master thesis describes the KNX bus, its protocol and how messages are transmitted within this environment. In addition it gives an overview of the currently used firewall techniques to provide different solutions for a KNX firewall. A theoretical chapter combines the used technologies in the internet world with the world of home automation. It shows the similarities, and shows opportunities by the use of KNX. Additionally it describes existing used SW libraries and how to port them to additional platforms. The practical chapter shows the Proof of Concept and describes the approach taken to port the KNX firewall as well as its configuration. Also shown are how to install the firewall, how to configure it and how to extend it. The last chapter provides a summary and conclusion. It summarizes the main topics from the paper and shows the drawn conclusions. Possible improvements and a range of application are described at the end. }}

month = {May},
abstract = {{Nowadays the installation of different networks and network devices is still increasing. An Ethernet based network for different devices like computers, laptops, mobile devices, printers and even television sets is installed in many private households. This is done to increase the possible functionalities making our homes and living environments more comfortable. This development also influenced the standard electrical installation in homes. Different bus systems have been developed for increased comfort and functionality. With such systems it is possible to connect different sensors and actuators via a standardized network and combine them to useful functions for the users. Such networks make it possible that even devices from different manufacturers are capable of communicating and interacting with each other in order to fulfill the required functionality. In Europe the KNX standard for home automation is the most commonly used home automation network. If this network is only installed inside the building the security risks of such a network are very limited. Security is of a great concern on the other hand if network devices are installed outside a building. Everybody can access the internal bus system and its devices by connecting to the outside cable. The same problem can happen when a wireless network access is installed in the home automation bus to give devices with a radio interface the possibility of accessing the network. This situation is comparable to wireless local area networks (known as WLAN) where it is possible to enter a network by connecting to the WLAN access point. Based on this technical development this thesis deals with the question how such home automation bus systems can be monitored and observed with techniques known from Ethernet based networks. The currently used architectures of Ethernet based intrusion detection systems (shortly named as IDS) will be explained and the parts needed for a KNX IDS will be extracted. The theoretical fundamentals of IDS and KNX are explained in the first chapters. Following these explanations an architecture for a self implemented KNX IDS is developed. Based on this a prototype software is developed and explained in a proof of concept. The results of this practical work will be summarized and presented in a final conclusion. }}

month = {Jan},
abstract = {In recent years, building automation has become standard practice for construction companies globally. As one of the leading technologies in this area, KNX offers a broad range of features allowing the control of many parameters of a modern building, thus improving the usability of everyday features such as lighting and blinds control, and optimising the energy consumption of the building as a whole. This paper analyses the structure of KNX TP (Konnex Twisted Pair), one of the major protocols of the KNX communication suite, and its application to simple microcontroller platforms. A comprehensive summary of the services and protocol fields of each OSI layer is complemented with function prototypes and flowcharts of their interactions. Representing a compact summary of the KNX TP specification, the paper outlines the theoretical principles required to implement a basic protocol stack executed on a microcontroller without the need for an operating system.}

month = {May},
abstract = {In building automation, the KNX TP (KNX Twisted Pair) standard is one of the most commonly used technologies to support the connection of sensors and actuators throughout buildings. This paper describes the concepts, general conditions and implementation steps required to build a KNX TP protocol stack for microcontrollers. Based on earlier papers and the KNX system specification, a basic protocol stack is implemented in C programming language. The hardware platform, consisting of an NXP LPC1758 microcontroller and a Siemens TPUART2 integrated circuit, allows the provision of the application layer services A_GroupValue_Read and A_GroupValue_Write and their lower layer peer services. In the course of implementation, a number of key prerequisites such as data type structure, buffer management and function interaction are analysed. The methods derived from this analysis are documented and verified during the proof of concept, providing a comprehensive guideline for future microcontroller-based implementations. The process of implementation highlights the importance of a clear separation of software into logical layers while also justifying the use of layer-independent services; the combination of these engineering principles appears to be essential for the efficient structuring of a KNX TP protocol stack.}

During an Embedded Systems Project at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien the mobile service robot P3AAT was developed. The mobile service robot P3AAT should be able to support elderly people in their daily life routine to detect a bottle on a table, pick it up and bring it back. The robot P3AAT shall be used as a mobile platform by further student projects dealing with navigation, object detection or object grasping. The mobile service robot P3AAT is modular in design and function, so it can easily be customized for future projects. The robot was developed by three students and was split up into three parts. The navigation part was realized by Ing. Richard Wagner BSc. and the object detection part was realized by Ing. Peter Wol? BSc. This master thesis is documenting the development of the so called object manipulation part of the robot. A robotic arm is used to manipulate the position of an object. The master thesis describes the hardware and software integration of the robotic arm in the concept of the P3AAT project. It demonstrates the architecture of the robotic arm control software, calculation of the path planning and robot kinematic.

abstract = {BACnet in its capacity as standardized protocol for building automation networks provides manufacturer-independent definitions of data types, objects and services. Using a monitoring system helps to keep the overview of complex networks. It serves for the tracing and observation of network processes, allows intervention at an early stage in case processes exceed or underrun predefined thresholds and thereby helps to maintain the stability, functionality and the accessibility of interconnected components and systems of a network. This bachelor thesis specifically delves into the topic BACnet monitoring. The possibilities to develop an open source solution that is easily integrate into existing monitoring systems will be evaluated because monitoring of building automation systems is difficult and respectively only possible with manufacturer-specific software so far. The free software called Nagios is currently one of the most widespread monitoring systems in the field of open source. Through its wide distribution and easy extensibility by plug-ins done in different programming languages, it is also predestinated to be used in the field of building automation. To enable communication between the monitoring system Nagios and the BACnet building automation network, the development of a BACnet client is necessary. For this purpose the BACnet stack BACpypes also coming from the field of open source will be used and applied. Further in the course of this thesis the applicability and the interaction of both technologies will be verified by a test environment and the feasibility of such a project will be examined closely.},

It is first and foremost about implementing a comprehensive basic monitoring of the availability of all devices and objects and their properties. To accomplish this aim hence a BACnet daemon is developed that forwards all requests from Nagios to the BACnet network and returns the corresponding answers. Using the BACnet stack "bacpypes" for the conversion - written in the programming language Python - also simplifies the subsequent integration into Nagios. Completing the BACnet daemons enables retrieving all properties of all objects in the BACnet network, this is the requirement for developing the Nagios Plugin. The strived and chosen aim of the Nagios plugin is to query parameters of predefined properties of objects, evaluated on the basis of defined limits and consequently displayed by the Nagios web interface. This thesis is specifically dealing with all steps needed for implementing the BACnet Daemons and the Nagios-Plugins, describing and keeping records of all stages of developing both components, as well as their handling and integrating into an existing Nagios system.}
