Abstract
An approach is presented for flexible support of devices in smart homes, meeting the needs of both home automation and telecare. Device services are introduced as a generalisation of sensor fusion, allowing ready customisation of how sensor inputs and actuator outputs are mapped to each other. Low-level management of devices is supported, but integrated with the high-level use of goals and policies. A range of typical device services is used to illustrate the approach.
