Smart Home and Energy Gateway Reference Design

Texas Instruments

The Smart Home and Energy Gateway Reference Design provides example implementation for measurement: management and communication of energy systems for smart homes and buildings. This example design is a bridge between different communication interfaces: such as WiFi: Ethernet: ZigBee or Bluetooth: that are commonly found in residential and commercial buildings. Since objects in the house and buildings are becoming more and more connected: the gateway design needs to be flexible to accommodate different RF standard: since no single RF standard is dominating the market. This example gateway addresses this problem by supporting existing legacy RF standards (WiFi: Bluetooth) and newer RF standards (ZigBee: BLE).
