Desenvolvimento de protótipo de baixo custo para automação residencial através de Arduino controlada por Android

Abstract

The present work is about the development of a low-cost home automation prototype, with the use of Arduino Uno as the automation core. To simulate the control of a few processes in a residence, like the opening and closing of a gate, lighting and temperature control, an application was developed for the operational system Android through the App Inventor platform, where the loads above will be triggered in a model for the illustration and representation of the results. The Arduino was connected to an edge router, and the loads were connected to this has board by cables. With the IP of this device it was possible to send commands even when not connected to the same network, in other words, the model can be controlled from anywhere that has a valid IPv6 and connection with the Internet. The prototype presented a satisfactory performance, even though the response time (from the cellphone’s command to the execution in the Arduino) varied a lot and the project’s total cost was low.
