Home automation using (raspberry and arduino)

nicolaoscon96

Hello There,

    I need some ideas for one project i've been working for a while(actually 2 year or more i change 3 raspberry until now upgrades) . I got the idea from the movie Ironman. I said to my self to built something like (JARVIS) and combine both software and hardware to make a program that will run the house. Until now i manage to connect the water boiler of the house some of the light.  I also add some led strips around the house in case of a power failure have something . . . . . I am working on now to design an alarm system (with arduino, gsm shield, and some motion detectors) the main panel is based on a raspberry pi 2B. I made also a program of my own to control anything that is connected to it by my computer or any other pc with that program installed on or by voice even when i am not front of my pc using a bluetooth headset (although it has a delay on the respond) or by using the Raspberry's default webio page in the web using the ip of the raspberry.

I need your help to suggest me anything else to make or connect to my panel. . . Any suggestions are acceptable. Or any features for my program (any kind).

Thanks a lot

  • Hi Nicolas,

     

    Interesting project.

    I think you need to address two issues.

    First, set up monitoring to see what your house environment is currently doing to meet your livability requirements.

    Then, assessing that data, look at where you would like to improve that environment.  You can look at comfort zone issues, possible problems, and set up alerts for various issues that you want to be notified about.

     

    If you look carefully at the movie, you see that Tony makes these kinds of requests dynamically of Jarvis and then the system responds as it tries to interpret those requirements.

    So if you want to mimic that capability, you need to establish a baseline of support and then look at what you really want/need for the system to provide you.

     

    After that it is just a matter of designing new threads to implement and add them to the system and assess if they do what you need.

    Make more changes and repeat.
