Introduction to the Technologies
Automation System mechanization and automatic
control of various residential/industrial/official activities

Internet of Things (IoT) an infrastructure of
interconnected and recognizable devices and systems

Project Objectives
Research: Study and discuss the Internet of Things
approach for different aspects of control and automation

Design: Conceive a general approach for a mesh of
interconnected devices that can communicate and take
orders from users smartphone via a central hub

Implementation: Create the working prototype and user
applications for demonstration purposes and implement
them to a variety of daily-life devices
Proposed Architecture
Daily-life user devices and systems (e.g. HVAC, locks,
lighting control, power management) connected to the
hub via wireless modules (Ethernet shield, ZigBee etc.)
connected to the internet via Hub (e.g. Router)

User applications to control the devices using different
connectivity options
