Smart users have Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) combined with Home Energy Management System (HEMS) to offer the information immediately. The Intelligent Home Display (IHD) remotely controls and sets smart appliances to make the home more comfortable, and can also achieve energy-saving purposes. For users who use more than 900 degrees, Taipower will actively install smart meters. This year, 200,000 smart meters have been installed. It is expected to be installed 400,000 next year and 3 million in four years. The smart meter has a black module A and a gray module B. The black module A will return the power information back to Taipower, and the gray module B will transmit the information to the home display. However, the installation of the smart meter only displays the power consumption information, so that the user can perceive the increase in power consumption, and actively save power, such as raising the set temperature of the air conditioner, or turning off the light at will.

Home displays and mobile phones can control smart appliances such as lights, fans, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers. If you forget to turn off the light or air-con, you can turn off them by your smartphone on air. ASUS developed a new system which is Smart Home app. to connect every gateway and home appliance. However, users need to consider all different kinds of smart home appliances made from different countries because they might not connect to each other by different countries. For example, only MIT home appliances like TECO, SAMPO, and Tatung could connect to Smart Home. app, but Japanese home appliances couldn’t.

Another system is through the phone's LINE operation interface, as well as home appliances with infrared and Wi-Fi functions. Most home appliances could be used in this system, even some of them like smart door locks (smart security), smart curtains, and smart sphygmomanometers could be controlled when you are not home. In case a thief comes into your house, the monitor will record it and transit images back to your phone. If the elderly wear the Mi bracelet with the function of gyroscope, when they fall down, you will know it immediately to take care of them very well. After the smart curtains can be automatically adjusted according to the sunshine, the smart sphygmomanometers can transmit the information to the doctor for remote consultation.

If Home Energy Management System (HEMS) goes with solar panels, electric vehicle charging, and energy storage equipment to save power by themselves. Even user will become the “prosumer”. Everyone can not only use power, but also generate power. The smart grids also develop Building Energy Management System (BEMS) and Community Energy Management System (CEMS) step by step to make the world with energy better.
