Abstract
In the present paper we investigate one of the emerging applicability fields of pervasive computing, that is, energy management and saving. We exploit innovative technologies to define a brand new system architecture for (i) centralized monitoring and (ii) real-time energy saving in distributed sub-networks of power consuming electric appliances. The architecture allows the definition of reactive and intelligent systems that take autonomous courses of action on electric devices. We also introduce a prototype which is an embodiment of such architecture, called \(\textit{MyElettra}\).

Notes
- 1.
We deliberately excluded cloud integration from object abstraction, where the idea of “local” is predominant and high performances are not required.
- 2.
The protocol of choice has been the ZigBee protocol.
