AB - This article presents an integrated framework for the development of homeautomation systems following
the model-driven approach. By executing model transformations the environment allows developers to generate  executable code for specific platforms. The tools presented in this work help developers to
model  home automation systems by means of a domain specific language which is later transformed into  code for home automation specific platforms. These transformations have been defined by means of 
graph grammars and template engines extended with traceability capabilities. Our framework also allows the  models to be reused for different applications since a catalogue of requirements is provided. This framework enables  the development of home automation applications with techniques for improving the  quality of both the process and the models obtained. In order to evaluate the benefits of the approach, we  conducted a survey among developers that used the framework. The analysis of the outcome of this survey shows which conditions should be fulfilled in order to increase reusability.
