EN 50090
EN 50090 is a European standard for Home automation systems, also known as the European Home Systems (EHS) protocol. It is part of the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) standards and is designed to ensure interoperability and compatibility among various home automation devices and systems.
Overview[edit | edit source]
EN 50090 provides a framework for the design and implementation of home automation systems, which include the control of lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, security, and other home appliances. The standard aims to facilitate the integration of different manufacturers' products, ensuring that they can work together seamlessly.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The EN 50090 standard is divided into several parts, each addressing different aspects of home automation systems:
- EN 50090-1: General Requirements - This part outlines the general requirements for home automation systems, including definitions, abbreviations, and basic principles.
- EN 50090-2: System Overview - This section provides an overview of the system architecture, including the communication protocols and network topology.
- EN 50090-3: Application Specifications - This part specifies the application layer protocols and data formats used in home automation systems.
- EN 50090-4: Media and Medium Access Control - This section covers the physical media and medium access control methods used for communication between devices.
- EN 50090-5: Installation Requirements - This part provides guidelines for the installation and configuration of home automation systems.
- EN 50090-6: Conformance Testing - This section outlines the procedures for testing and certifying the conformance of home automation devices to the standard.
