Eclipse SmartHome is an open platform for building Smart Home solutions. With OpenHab, there is even an open implementation for a Smart Home Gateway based on Eclipse Smart Home. However, setting up a custom Smart Home solution with those frameworks still requires a great deal of configuration effort, and, especially for advanced solutions, programming skills. One of the major shortcomings is, that implemented behavior and configurations, created by advanced users cannot easily be shared with common users.
Our goal is to change that, and make Eclipse Smart Home consumable for non-technical end users. Therefore, we want to enable sharing configurations and smart behavior via an “App concept”. This includes the management of dependencies between apps, states, and controlled devices.
In this talk, we show our first version of an extensible Smart Home system based on Eclipse Smart Home. It allows you to select Apps from a central directory, resolve their dependencies and seamlessly install them on a running device. The talk will include a live demo of a Smart Home system including real devices, which will be extended with new Apps during the presentation.
