In a method for controlling a dishwasher, a user preference is captured for a cleaning cycle of the dishwasher. Parameters associated with a cleaning cycle of the dishwasher are read over a plurality of cleaning cycles, and a user input that indicates satisfaction by the user with one of the cleaning cycles is captured. An optimization is determined of a parameter of the parameters on the basis of the user input and the user preference.

A monitoring system for monitoring and setting at least one air parameter in a room includes at least one sensor and at least one monitoring unit, which is provided separately from the sensor. The at least one monitoring unit is connected to the sensor by a wireless communications link of a communications network. The communications network has at least one mobile terminal device on which at least a part of the monitoring unit is provided.

A household appliance includes a controller operating on an energy supply network having a data network for exchanging data via the energy supply network, wherein the network may include smart metering. The controller has a first control component embodies as a computer, a second control component for settings data, a third control component for operating data, and a fourth control component connected with the first control component and including a graph algorithm. The first control component determines data for controlling actuators from the settings data and the operating data. Through cooperation of the first control component, the fourth control component and the graph algorithm, the data from the data network for the household appliance are taken into account so as to allow operation of the household appliance always to continue. A corresponding method for operating such household appliance is also described.

A method and device for controlling a domestic appliance connected to an electric grid so as to allow smart metering, wherein electric power consumed according to different consumption tariffs is measured and the domestic appliance receives information about the availability of a currently applicable consumption tariff or a switch-off condition for preventing peak loads in the grid. The domestic appliance is operated as follows: a) when an inexpensive consumption tariff is available, the appliance is put into operation as intended, and the history of the cleaning process is continuously recorded; b) when an inexpensive consumption tariff is not available or the switch-off condition is met, the appliance is not put into operation or a previously started operation is interrupted; and c) when information about an inexpensive consumption tariff is available, the domestic appliance resumes operation, and a component of a detergent is added based on the recorded history.

Method for controlling a domestic appliance, using smart metering

A system of domestic appliances is provided, wherein the domestic appliances are operated from a branch of an, in particular public, supply system for electrical energy at a customary system frequency, wherein, in particular, the consumed energy which is supplied to the branch can be detected, and wherein a display and measurement unit is present, allowing the energy consumed by an individual domestic appliance to be displayed and measured. In this case, the functioning thereof for determining the consumption of the individual domestic appliance is based on the analysis of a characteristic structure, which can be assigned to the individual domestic appliance, of current and/or voltage profiles within system period time intervals during operation of the individual domestic appliance, wherein, for individual domestic appliances of which the inherent characteristic structure is small, the characteristic structure can be formed or added to by a structure generator.

Energy consumption determination for domestic appliances in a network of several domestic appliances which form a system

A domestic appliance includes an internal electrical load, a controller for controlling the internal electrical load, and a communication device coupled with the controller. The controller is configured for transmitting via the communication device data to additional domestic appliances, wherein the received data include information about a time of an impending startup of the internal electrical load, and/or for receiving via the communication device data from additional domestic appliances, wherein the received data include information about a time of an impending startup of an electrical load of an additional domestic appliance. The internal electrical load is controlled based on the received information, preventing an overload of the power supply system.
