碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊科學與工程研究所 === 97 === In this thesis I propose a home automation platform, which is design for Home Automation DIY users. As we all know, electronic devices produced by different manufacturers often operate under different specifications, as a result, it is difficult to make then work all together. Therefore, the DCSL has completed the MHAP (MOM-based Home Automation Platform), so that all the devices with different criteria would be able to communicate with one another seamlessly. Based on such a ideal foundation, I decided to develop a decision-making system, so that the users would be able to set up a desired home/office automation service efficiently. In brief, after building up a treasury of services, a special service called the Service Matcher will be able to gather and analyze the information of the user's environment, and provide an ideal service automatically. Further more, the Service Matcher can transform the prior service into a new workable one. The main contribution of this research is design of a device-location oriented home automation platform, which is named as MyHA (My Home Automation.) Before I began to design this platform, I had survey a group of potential users about their opinions toward intelligent devices with my questionnaires. Besides, all the set-up documents of is written in XML format, so that MyHA is perfectly portable. The XML format also makes it possible for different users to exchange their opinion and idea of home automation, and ultimately contribute to the further development of smart homes.
