Abstract:
With the proliferation of wireless networks and their integration in electrical equipment, the possibilities for monitoring and control of electrical devices increased lot expecting with this an increased usage of home automation systems. Nowadays, there are in the market several manufacturers that provide fairly comprehensive domotic solutions. However, these solutions are proprietary and have very high costs making it difficult to adopt. In this work, it is presented a low cost home automation system based on open hardware and software with support for a wide range of equipment. The system is based on a Raspberry Pi network and can be easily controlled via a mobile device. It’s also possible to configure alerts that notify users when certain events occur and monitor the power consumption.
