A general framework for the remote control of Arduino-based domotic appliances
This app was developed as part of a joint project of DiMIE - University of Basilicata and Basilicata Innovazione (http://www.basilicatainnovazione.it/). The project, called Ardomotica, was aimed at developing a general framework for the remote control of Arduino-based domotic appliances.
Arduino-equipped devices can be controlled via Internet using the popular PubNub cloud-messaging infrastructure (http://www.pubnub.com/), and through the local WiFi network. Commands can be used to activate Arduino-controlled outputs, or read Arduino sensors, and may be executed immediately or delayed using a timer.
The framework is composed of three main layers:
- the Arduino microprogramming logic, that handles commands and generates answers
- two middleware libraries that abstract the generation and execution of commands
- client apps to actually run the commands
Client apps were developed with reference to a case of study in collaboration with GEMI Elettronica (http://www.gemimarket.it/) and refer to the control of a chimney extractor fan with 6 velocities.
