Internet based smart home automation application using microcomputer

In this study we deal with design, development and management of a smart home automation application using microcomputers and control cards. The automation system is designed to control many systems such as home appliances, air conditioning, water, electricity, natural gas. But, this study focused on the control of the lighting system and motorized curtains. The system, which automatically decides and applies according to the light intensity of the outdoor environment, can also be managed with user commands. Data logging, use of Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) communication protocols, server design and web application development are the tasks utilized constituently. Local and internet-based communication protocols are both employed. In the realization of application in the study, Internet of Things (IoT) architecture and the Open Platform Communications - Unified Architecture (OPC-UA) protocol to assemble IoT concept on industrial systems are utilized.
