Demonstration Room and Interoperability Laboratory

The Demonstration Room and Interoperability Laboratory at the Integral Home Automation Center (CeDInt) of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid is a space dedicated to research and experimentation in energy efficiency and home automation technologies. Its primary goal is to evaluate and showcase innovative solutions that optimize energy consumption in residential, urban, and industrial environments.

Demo room

This room showcases various demonstrators that integrate technologies developed by CeDInt, such as the BatNet platform, along with other commercial solutions. Some of the highlighted projects include:

  • BatStreetLighting: An intelligent outdoor lighting system that adjusts brightness based on pedestrian presence and environmental conditions.

  • BatHome: A domestic kit that allows monitoring and control of appliance energy consumption via a web application.

  • GreenLabs: A project aimed at reducing electricity consumption in laboratories and greenhouses through monitoring and controlling devices and LED lighting.

  • IAm (Environmental Intelligence): An RGB LED lighting system that creates lighting scenes adapted to user activities and preferences, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency.

  • Bat-LED: LED luminaires with remote control capabilities via the 6LoWPAN protocol, allowing regulation of color and intensity.

  • DENISE: A residential gateway that facilitates active energy demand management, communicating bidirectionally with utility companies.

  • e-MEDICIÓN: A system that informs users of their energy consumption in real time, issuing alerts and recommendations to encourage efficient resource use.

Interoperability Laboratory

This laboratory complements the Demo Room by focusing on the integration and compatibility of different energy efficiency and home automation technologies. Here, commercial solutions and CeDInt’s own developments, such as BatNet, coexist, allowing evaluation of their interoperability and joint operation in real environments.

Both spaces are located on the UPM Montegancedo Campus and are part of CeDInt’s research infrastructure, contributing to the development and validation of advanced technologies for more efficient energy management.
