Domótica via dispositivos móveis utilizando a plataforma Arduino.

Abstract

Domotics is the area of knowledge that studies the development of residential automation solutions, allowing its users to enjoy higher safety, easiness, economy and comfort along the housing experience. The origin of the term Domotica comes from the junction of the words Domus - "residence", from Latin -, and automatica - greek word that means "something that works by itself". This market has been considerably growing in the last few year, due to the advance in technology and the lower costs of hardware used to assemble residential automation system components. The objective of this project is to develop a prototype of a residential automation system using an Arduino based platform, controlled and monitored by means of mobile devices. A mockup was built to simulate a residence physical spaces. In the mockup it was used several control systems, such as lightning, irrigation, alarm, gas leakage detection, rain detection and electrical energy consumption.
