Power Meter SW Investigation and feasibility: done
APP analysis and SW architecture: closed
APP development: closed
APP bug fix: ongoing
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.

7. Starter Kit
Now available for starting the integrating of the smart dishwasher into the Inertia
SW/HW framework.
Some Start Up Problems encountered during the set-up:
Back Up solution: connectivity via ZNM Web Access

8. ZNM Web Access ZNM introduces some restrictions:
-Water Consumption Calculation
-Remote Control & Monitoring
-Delay Start Management
It is instead useful for testing:
-Energy Monitoring
-Power Profile and scheduling
-Overload management (basic funct.)
-Statistics (log download)
