Domotic House

Introduction

Our working group has contemplated how the house of the future should be like if it were based in Andalusia, the area we live in the south of Spain. The characteristics considered are the following ones:

- It should be respectful with the environment and take advantage of the solar energy and warm temperatures that the region provides.

- It should be accessible for every person presenting reduced mobility.

- It should be furnished with all the technology available to ease the livability.

Thus, our group has tried to capture in a miniature all the features above mentioned in order to simulate the technology that a real home should have. Even if the house is referred as home automation, we consider that we have tried to go a little further than that.

- Firstly, our miniature works with real photovoltaic energy. To do so, we have incorporated a solar panel, a voltage regulator, a power inverter, and a little accumulator.

- Secondly, our miniature shows a very simple house with only the necessary to comfortably live in. Thus, an open area is designed on the ground floor where the living room and the kitchen are shared (also thought for disabled people). Besides, a first floor is designed with a bedroom and a bathroom.

- Thirdly, a lift is used in order to reach the upper part of the house. Hence, we facilitate accessibility for people with disabilities.

- Fourthly, an attempt has been made to build with open and glazed areas to make the most of the solar hours and warm temperatures of our area.

- Last but not least, it is remarkable that technology has been tried to be integrated as much as time and deadlines have allowed us, using the oneM2M protocol.

INCORPORATION OF THE oneM2M PROTOCOOL TO OUR PROJECT.

The technology used to implement the oneM2M protocol is:

a) Devices:

o 4 NodeMCU.

o 1 Arduino Mega 2560.

o 2 Arduino Uno.

o A 7-inch touch screen.

b) An ACME Server.

c) An App made with Phyton.

The main blocks of our project are:

1- NodeMCU connected to a 7-inch touch screen which provides full access through ACME to our app and let the user control the entire home automation such us house entries, lighting, lifts, and alarms.

2- NodeMCU connected to an ArduinoMega2560 which control the actuators based on the orders received from the Python app through ACME. Arduino Mega has in its outputs several blocks of relays to manage lighting and linear actuators.

3- Sensors connected to NodeMCU and Arduino Uno. In charge of sending the information from the sensors to the app thanks to ACME.

4- Lift connected to NodeMCU and Arduino Uno. Together with the touch screen form the block in charge of the lift’s control.

We are aware of the noncompletion of the project as well as the several parts that are still yet to be improved. We tried to meet all needs as complete as possible and fit into the time that this incredible Hackaton has lasted. We finally keep with all that we have been able to evolve in our knowledge of the oneM2M technology.
