Sistemas de monitoramento e automação residencial em IoT e ESP32: pesquisa científica

Abstract

The growing adoption of digital technologies in residential environments has expanded the use of monitoring and automation solutions based on the Internet of Things (IoT). In this context, the ESP32 stands out as a versatile and low-cost microcontroller, which justifies studies evaluating its potential in smart home applications. This work aims to analyze the fundamentals of home automation, identify the main components and communication protocols used in loT systems, and assess the ESP32 as the central device of a monitoring architecture. The methodology includes a scientific literature review in academic databases, theoretical research on loT and residential automation, and a technical analysis of the microcontroller's capabilities. Additionally, a theoretical system architecture is proposed, which will be developed and validated in the second phase of the project. The expected results include a consistent theoretical foundation for the application of loT in residential environments and the definition of a coherent architecture for future implementation. It is concluded that the ESP32 offers suitable resources for monitoring and automation applications due to its integrated connectivity, flexibility, and compatibility with a wide range of sensors.
