Automação de sala de home theater utilizando dispositivos móveis baseados em Android

Abstract

The use of a single room home theater can be very complicated due to the huge amount of equipment, remote controls, switches, buttons and acronyms. With the development of technology, more and more we seek solutions bring comfort, especially when the issue is home automation. The tendency is to concentrate all the controls in a single universal remote control, however often they have lots of buttons and functions unintuitive and few are able to efficiently use. The prototype developed in this study aims to use mobile devices for personal use such as smartphones and tablets that are already currently handy people, as a universal remote control, however, with a simple and intuitive interface, as well as adding other features such as control of ambient lighting. For this, we developed an application for the Android platform and a prototype electronic using a development kit with ARM Cortex M3 Stellaris EKS- LM3S6965 Texas Intruments. The application acts as an interface and communicates control via Wi- Fi with a board Ethernet control sends infrared signals (IR) for the equipment to be controlled. Objectives were achieved considering that the prototype was completed with all functional tests performed and demonstrated its operation.
