現今時代中，許多高科技家電問世，讓人們的生活過得十分便利。但越高科技的家電相對消耗的能源也就越多。因此能源消耗速度加快，能源問題也越來越常被各界提出討論。近幾年，國內更是因為發電廠問題而爭論不休。除了能源來源問題，如何去節約能源也變成一個重要課題。 針對節省能源的目的，本論文設計了智慧家電節能管控系統。這系統透過智慧家庭的概念，使用低速率無線個人區域網路ZigBee，對家中各個家電設備進行互相連接。並且使用近年來流行的Android系統，在其系統下設計家電節能管控APP。並將此APP安裝在智慧型手機上，成為整個系統的中央控制中心。之後將中央控制中心與ZigBee無線傳輸網路使用USB OTG傳輸媒介連結，中央控制中心便可透過ZigBee操控家電設備。並且本文也使用WSN (Wireless Sensor Network)概念。在ZigBee無線傳輸網路中，加入Sensor進行環境品質數據偵測，並將量測到的數據回傳給中央控制中心。中心可以依據數據進行家電節能管制動作，減少家電設備在不必要時後啟動工作。讓家電達到高效率與節約能源的目的。 In these days, many high technology home appliances are available to make people quite convenience in daily life. On the other hand, high technology home appliances also consume large amount of energy. As energy consumption gets its speed up, it draws people to worry about the energy resources. In recent years, it has also brought in keen and controversy arguments in Taiwan whether to continue or to stop on the construction of nuclear power plant. How to save energy, in addition to find new energy resources, is also an important issue. For the goal of energy saving it is in this thesis to consider the design of a smart home appliances energy saving management and control system. It is through the smart family concept to interconnect all home appliances through the use of low-rate wireless personal area network (LR-WPAN) ZigBee . It considers the design of APP under the popular Android system for the system. It also installs this APP onto the smart cell phone to make the cell phone as the central control terminal for the whole energy saving and management control system. It uses the transmission medium USB OTG (On-The-Go) to connect the central control terminal with the ZigBee wireless communication network and then the central control terminal is through the ZigBee network to control the home appliances. In this thesis it also considers the WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) concept to use the sensors that are installed in the ZigBee wireless communication system to monitor the environment quality and then to feedback these measured data to the central control terminal for further analysis. The terminal then bases on the received data to make proper energy saving management and control action to reduce the unnecessary home appliances operation times so as to attain high efficiency and energy saving goals in the running of home appliances network.
