1. 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; and
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; and
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; and
a transient policy if the triggering event is of the user type.
