Development of Smart Home Applications Based on Arduino and Android Platforms: An Experimental Work

Abstract

The ideal smart home could be automatically controlled using a variety of electronic tools and devices to perform everyday tasks. Smart home automation is crucially beneficial for human life, particularly when considering those with disabilities, inpatients, and elderly populations. In this paper, applications and systems for smart homes are investigated. During experimentation they were controlled via an Android mobile phone and the Arduino platform. Bluetooth Module HC-06 was used to connect the Arduino Uno R3 with the mobile phone. Five smart home applications were developed to control the lighting and electrical sockets, fan speed, temperature- and humidity-meter display/controls, as well as the fire-alarm and toxic-gas alarm systems. Herein, the definition, the graphical user interface, the required main components, and the control circuit connections are prepared and presented for each application. The graphical user interface was created using the RemoteXY website, which is a reliable website for this purpose. The developed applications were tested, and they were found to work efficiently and correctly. Additionally, this innovative system is both cost-effective and affordable (total cost at the time of development was 110 USD).

Modbus Extension Server Implementation for BIoT-Enabled Smart Switch Embedded System Device

“…It integrates various appliances and devices around the building via the Internet [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. The communication of these devices within larger system networks, e.g., with the Internet, can be achieved via wired communications such as RS485 with or without proprietary protocols (Modbus, KNX, BacNET, LonWORK, M-Bus or Meter-Bus, other local industrial networks such as CAN, CAN-FD, XL, Profibus/Profinet, or Ethercat, or wireless ones such as Wi-Fi [ 9 , 10 ], Bluetooth [ 11 , 12 ], ZigBee, LoRaWAN, SigFox, and 6LoWPAN). With the exception of Wi-Fi, the other networks need a gateway or controller with a connection to the local network or the Internet.…”

“…When the current device sends the response on the bus, if the slot address does not match the device's ModbusE address for the corresponding response slots, the myTaskServerMBEcycle task moves the data from the application memory organized by Modbus data and addressing model into the slot with the function "void vexecuteRecvSlotWriteRegs(uint8_t SlotIndex)" given the Modbus read functions 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 11, 23 based on the information in the MY_SLO_PARAM slot structure. For slots with Modbus APDU, i.e., when the slot address matches the Modbus address of the device, the myTaskServerMBEcycle task moves the data and responds if necessary according to the Modbus specifications for functions 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,11,15,16,22,23, directly using the information in the request with the function "void vModbusExecuteFunctions(void)". As the highest priority task, it will perform atomic read/write operations.…”

Pelatihan Simulator IoT untuk Siswa SMK Nasional bandung

“…Definisi Smart diarahkan di awal pada antisipasi terhadap penularan Covid yang walaupun tidak seramai di awal munculnya tapi penyebaran dan penularan Covid dengan berbagai varian masih berlangsung. Secara garis besar Smart Class room adalah kelas yang memudahkan saat proses belajar mengajar, memberikan kenyamanan dan juga keamanan pada fasilitas yang ada di kelas[7].…”
