Abstract: Policy-based management method for remote management of a home device (3), said method comprising: a triggering step wherein the operational state of the home device (3) changes under occurrence of a triggering event belonging to one of the following event categories: a device event, where the event is automatically produced by the home device (3); a scheduled event, where the event is automatically produced by a clock; a user event, where the event is produced by a user; an evaluation step, wherein a home device management (HDM) server (9) evaluates at least one device selection criterion; a policy run cycle, wherein the HDM server (9) runs a policy on the home device (3), said policy being selected among the following policies: an activation policy if the triggering event is of the device type; a management policy if the triggering event is of the scheduled type; a transient policy if the triggering event is of the user type.

Abstract: Method for remote management of a home device (3), said method comprising: a connection step wherein the home device (3) connects to a remote walled garden home device management (WG_HDM) server (10); a pre-activation cycle wherein a pre-activation policy is run on the home device (3) from the WG_HDM server (10); a transfer step wherein the home device (3) is redirected by the WG_HDM server (10) to a remote public home device management (P_HDM) server (14); an activation cycle wherein an activation policy is run on the home device (3) from the P_HDM server (14).
