Módulo de automação residencial controlado via plataforma web

Abstract

Home automation has been applied in several places, houses, shopping centers and large networks of bank companies, which seek to have greater control and security over what they own. However, the home automation is still very expensive, as the companies that provide this service have their own proprietary tools. In this context, this work presents the study and the practical implementation of an home automation module controlled by a Web Platform. The study was conducted through research of existing projects and how they work, including the research of some development tools applicable to this work, like software and components for the system application. The module’s control system was developed with the Arduino platform and is responsible to read the users requests, authenticate them, validate their parameters and execute commands according to what has been previously established. It also consists of a data collection board that receives the field signs and adapts them to the Arduino. The supervision system is composed by an interface, where the user interacts with the system through a web application. This system is responsible for managing user accounts, registering the devices connected to the control system, create alarms on the module, register history logs and collect and view devices’ data read through the control system. The development of this work consisted of the definition of the requirements and the system modeling. Finally, it was implemented and practical tests were performed to analyze the behavior of the project. With these results it was conclude that the supervision system and the control system provide the functionality needed to control a residence satisfactorily and with low deployment cost.
