1. Indesit as player of INERTIA Team
Indesit will provide a Free Standing Smart Dishwasher connected to the Home Area Network (HAN) with a Zigbee communication interface, using the public protocol defined by the association.
This specification will be also submitted by the Zigbee Alliance into the new version of the “Home Automation Profile v.1.2”.
Indesit is not in charge for the development of the Gateway and of the Remote Graphical User Interface.

3. The content of Indesit Smart Dishwasher 1/3
Within the INERTIA Project, we have to add new content to have a SMART Dishwasher and implement the use cases related to the energy awareness and energy usage flexibility.
The details of these use cases must be shared soon in order to avoid mismatching between the dishwasher implementation and the INERTIA requirements.
Indesit forecasts the following requirements for its Smart Dishwasher:
1) Energy and Cost Awareness
The Indesit Smart Dishwasher will display the consumption forecast (according to the Appliance Power Profile concept, see next slide) of the selected cycle and/or the related cost, if this information will make available by the gateway.
Therefore, an estimation of the energy consumption for the selected cycle could be provided and sent to Home Area Network (HAN).

4. Appliance Power Profile Introduction
The Appliance Power Profile (APP) is a data structure aiming to give an estimation of the power footprint of the smart appliance’s cycle over time as well as an estimation of the relevant energy consumption. The energy estimation is computed considering the mean power consumption of each power phase (a calibration of the electric loads of the Dishwasher is performed in the plant).
An high approximation naturally arises in giving an estimation of power footprint of a cycle “a priori” (i.e. in programming mode, before starting the cycle), being the cycle effectively performed influenced by several unpredictable factors.
Moreover the APP is described by means of a prefixed structure that, even if endowed with some flexibility in adapting to the real cycle, cannot completely cope with the high variable dynamics of the cycles and relevant conditions defined by the environment as well as by the user settings.
The APP is fw prefixed and partially flexible structure which is able to only partially model the cycle dynamics, especially in programming mode*.
The cycle dynamics are characterized by some unpredictable factors.

2) Energy Monitoring
The Indesit Smart Dishwasher will measure and display the actual Energy and Power Consumption of the product. This information could be dispatched on HAN.
3) Events Sending
The Indesit Smart Dishwasher will send:
statistics and other info (e.g. type of cycle, options and regulations, cycle duration, end cycle time)  via the gateway the statistics could be sent and elaborated by the back-end tablet
notification of following events: start/stop running, end of cycle, door opening, …
notification of fault/warning

4) Short Messages on Dishwasher UI
Any message received from the gateway and/or back-end could be displayed by the Dishwasher.
5) Overload Management
In case of Overload, the Smart Dishwasher accepts remote pause command.
The remote resume after Overload could be provided.
6) Scheduling
Scheduling of the start time according to different system criteria (optimal start when the energy is cheaper or greener) and according to the user’s constraints (finish by…).
