Implementación de un sistema domótico, monitoreado a través de una aplicación para plataformas Android, utilizando la plataforma Arduino

Abstract

The aim of this project was the designing and construction of a home automation prototype monitored through the Internet by an Android application. This system allows to manage the necessary means to efficiently manage the energy and economic resources of the electrical and electronic devices, using the Zigbee protocol. The system is formed by a central node and five secondary nodes communicating wirelessly. The central node uses an Arduino Mega2560 module, which coordinates the network, initiating and maintaining it active, providing a remote access over Internet. The secondary nodes will be in charge of receiving and processing the information sent by the central node, executing the requests from the user. The secondary nodes control a motorized curtain, a Dimmer, an environmental temperature control, an electrical lock and an IP camera. The devices that allow the establishing of the wireless communication in this system are the XBee Pro Series One modules, while interaction with the Internet is carries out by an Android application. The information gathered by the secondary nodes is sent to a Web server and a database applying the cloud storage concepts, facilitating the interaction between the Android application and the home automation system.
