Spring 2018 European Energy Innovation 25

COMMUNICATION

The solution had to provide excellent data security, but
at the same time an adaptable interface, which could
incorporate local languages, conditions and a wide variety
of home systems, appliances, applications and devices. The
project also had an ambitious target to create a prototype
which could eventually be mass-produced for less than
€100.

The vision of AnyPLACE goes far beyond commercial home
automation systems, and proposes that users should be
able to take part in new energy services and take advantage
of whatever opportunities are presented by the changing
energy market, not only to minimise their own costs but
also to impact overall energy consumption and efficiency of
demand and supply.

AnyPLACE2020 concludes in June of this year, and a
Public Event will be held in Dörentrup, Germany, where
the majority of the field trials are installed, in May 2018.
