Residential Control of Infrared Devices and Lighting Using a Low-Cost Central Module
Abstract
Home automation aims to simplify the activities of the individual at home and provide independence for people with disabilities. However, professional equipment is expensive, limiting access to technology. To solve this problem, a low-cost module was designed to control infrared devices and lighting through smartphone apps and voice commands. In addition to the low cost, the module aims for an easy-to-use interface and uncomplicated implementation, utilizing Open Hardware control boards, an application with a good User Experience (UX), and a modular structure to facilitate installation. The goal is to make technology accessible to lower-middle-class people.
