Overview
ISO/IEC 29341-31-1:2017 - part of the UPnP Device Architecture series - standardizes an Energy Management service for UPnP devices. Compliant with the UPnP Device Architecture 1.0, this document specifies a device control protocol (DCP) service type named EnergyManagement that enables UPnP devices and their services to expose energy-management functionality, subscription/eventing behavior, and control operations.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Service model and type: Defines the EnergyManagement service type and how it is modeled within the UPnP framework.
- State variables and actions: Specifies state variables and actions (including GetInterfaceInfo, ServiceSubscription, ServiceRenewal, ServiceRelease) plus associated argument and error code tables used by control points and devices.
- Eventing and moderation: Describes UPnP event notification semantics for energy-related state changes and event moderation rules.
- XML service description: Provides the XML schema and namespace requirements for service descriptions and schema versioning.
- Network interface modes and proxied interfaces: Covers NetworkInterfaceInfo and ProxiedNetworkInterfaceInfo concepts to represent local and proxied network interfaces.
- WakeOnPattern and operational theory: Includes theory of operations for features such as WakeOnPattern and overall EnergyManagement control point behavior.
- Security and vendor extensions: Allocates restrictable vs. non-restrictable actions, and documents vendor-defined extension rules (action names, state variables, XML elements, properties).
- Normative structure: Contains normative references, notations, derived data types and conventions for implementing the DCP.
- Patent considerations: The published standard notes patent declarations associated with various industry contributors.
Practical applications - who uses this standard
- Device manufacturers building smart appliances, meters, HVAC units, or networked power devices needing UPnP-based energy control and reporting.
- Firmware and IoT platform developers implementing UPnP services for energy management and subscription/event handling.
- Home automation and building management integrators that require standardized device control protocols to monitor and control energy usage.
- Service providers and application developers that implement control points or management consoles to discover, subscribe to, and control energy-enabled UPnP devices.
Related standards
- UPnP Device Architecture parts in the ISO/IEC 29341 series (general UPnP DA 1.0 and related service parts) - use in combination for full device and service interoperability.
