More affordable than analogues: a new "smart home" system was created at NovSU

The system allows you to save energy and control household appliances remotely

A "smart home" system for automating the control of household appliances and improving the level of security has been developed at the Yaroslav the Wise Novgorod State University (NovSU). This was reported in the press service of the university.

The uniqueness of this development lies in its cross-platform nature. This makes it easy to combine various devices and sensors into a single ecosystem and make decisions about performing tasks without human intervention. The development is also more affordable compared to analogues on the market.

For example, Yandex's smart home is best paired with the corporation's products and services, and Rostelecom's "Security" or AJAX StarterKit black come with their own equipment, which leads to inconvenience and unnecessary expenses. Therefore, we wanted to create our own affordable, modular and flexible solution. As a result, we got a system that will save energy, remotely control lighting, heating, household appliances and notify about emergencies, if any.

The system is highly automated, allowing you to implement complex scenarios and set presets that work in a single logic. The developers noted that it will be easy for the user to set up a smart home without spending a lot of time installing and connecting all the elements of the system from scratch.

The system includes a microcontroller, a control platform, motion, leakage, gas, smoke, opening, temperature sensors, as well as modules for smart sockets and switches. The advantage of the development is simplified integration with devices from various manufacturers.

The smart home system may be of interest not only to owners of residential premises, but also to businesses. It will allow you to automate the security system in offices, small hotels and hostels, as well as remotely monitor premises and optimize energy costs.

Earlier www1.ru reported that a state standard for a "smart home" has appeared in Russia.
