[use cases] Integrated Home Automation, Demand Response and security

Hi,

Below is Fujitsu's WOT use case contribution draft. 
I may need to update the style to fit the latest expected format.

Thank you,

Integrated Home Automation, Demand Response and security
===============================

What is the user motivation for the use case
------------------------------------------------

Many households nowadays use one or more of Home Automation service,
Demand-Response (DR) service or Securities and more. For DR subscription
and operation, a home gateway device communicates with an aggregator to
shed energy use on when asked. Home automation, typically also with
a home gateway, enables cloud-based monitoring and control of home
devices based-on pre-defined rules that perform actions based on 
conditions or triggers such as weather forecast or push on doorbells.
Security services also install sensors and provide cloud-based control
of security features such as arming/disarming and monitoring.

There is an increasing need to integrate those discrete services from
different vendors harmoniously to increase the total benefit by 
orchestrating them.


How does this translate to a technical Description
--------------------------------------------------

Clear separation of roles between home gateway through which to manage devices 
and sensors at home, and management platform that enables mashed-up, coordinated
cloud-based services. Each device and sensor connects to home gateway through
various technologies (e.g. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc.).
