Automação residencial de baixo custo para casas já construídas

Abstract

With the advancement of technologies and the growing demand for solutions that promote greater convenience, security, and energy efficiency, home automation has been gaining prominence in the technological landscape. However, one of the main challenges for the widespread adoption of these technologies is still the high cost and complexity of integrating devices into pre-existing homes. This work aims to address these challenges by proposing a home automation system that is not only functional and efficient but also affordable and easy to implement. This work presents a study on the implementation of a home automation system using the FlutterFlow platform and the Firebase cloud database. The focus is on developing a low-cost, easy-toimplement solution for the integration of IoT devices in existing homes. Incremental innovation, as defined by Schumpeter and Freeman, serves as the theoretical basis for the project. The proposed system uses the ESP-01 microcontroller to automate common devices such as switches and sockets, integrating them with virtual assistants like Alexa. The methodology adopted includes theoretical analysis and practical development of a functional prototype. Compared to other similar tools, the cost was significantly lower, and the system offers room for future improvements, including the integration of new tools and the facilitation of connecting new devices, thus expanding the possibilities for accessible and practical home automation.
