Abstract
A smart home is a promising green technology not only to save people money on their electricity bills but also to alleviate the climate change in a micro-level. In this paper we report on our on-going research project how we are developing a smart home prototype. Here we focus on the essential part of a smart home, i.e. HEMS (Home Energy Management System), by investigating how we develop HEMS using an agent framework. A model of agents for constructing HEMS based on both object-oriented and logic programming approaches is proposed. The agent model is implemented in Python. We also argue for the benefit of combining both approaches into a unified agent framework.
