Transducer Electronic Data Sheets on Smart Ultra Low PowerDevices

Besides adding semantics to sensor data, Transducer Electronic Data Sheets (TEDS) are a way to communicate capabilities of smart devices. In this work we investigate these capabilities with respect to smart energy and energy management in ultra low power wireless devices (e.g. using photovoltaic energy harvesting in indoor applications such as smart home, smart buildings or smart factory). We present an approach how to utilize TEDS and embedded actuator channels as smart system to switch between (energy-) profiles and thus how to obtain a versatile, reconfigurable and easy to access system. With the use of an HTTP based interface there is no need to install specific software and the approach can thus be used on various platforms and operating systems such as personal computers, mobile phones or embedded microcomputers.
