Estudo de viabilidade da aplicação de power line communication com microcontrolador na automação residencial

Abstract

This work presents the fundamental concepts about the data transmission technology through power grid for home automation (domotics), commonly known as Power Line Communication (PLC). A market study was made and a PLC modem was bought and tested in the laboratory on their behavior in a common grid. Taken to confirm in the viability of the use of the module, a printed circuit board is developed (PCB) with a microcontroller system that makes use of a PLC together with a Bluetooth module for making the domotics system. The entire system is designed to be controlled through a smartphone application that was developed in this project. At the end, the results were discussed upon the implementation of the home automation prototype addressing the educational aspects and application of the developed system.
