| ABOUT The Smart Homes project aims to implement and test electronic gateway technology in pilot studies within four European countries. Amongst its objectives are: To demonstrate homes acquiring and transmitting high frequency data. To derive services of interest to home occupiers, utilities and local authorities. To these ends the project requires the development of robust and user-friendly Internet energy information services. Eventually it is hoped to provide a unified and rigorously proven service which will encompass many new and innovative e-services.
