DOMOTICS -Control your home devices from anywhere and

everywhere

Domotics is the application of computer and robotics technologies to domestic appliances.

Most modern houses have appliances that allow some degree of remote control. Domotics aims to integrate and extend this throughout the house.

We see Domotics system as a new way of thinking about contemporary living.

Domotics the complete integration solution giving you total…CONTROL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

…a technological science which studies all devices in the house or the building, facilitating

the work and increasing the comfort of people. is focused on the integration of all automations within the

house.

Domotic-installations consists of the following The signal transport. The programmability of the functions. The user-interface The standards The certainity of communication. The integrated components.

LCU provides two or more ports to different communication devices:The primary port The secondary port

The main hardware components are a connector to the IP backbone,one or more secondary ports for the Domotic devicesa microcontroller.

In contrast, the software is relatively complex. It has to provide the communication protocol, various device drivers, and the control logic.

Our solution uses the JAVA programming language to implement device drivers and control logic.

X10: It primarily uses power line wiring for signaling and control, where the signals can involve short radio frequency bursts representing digital information.

ZigBee: published specification set of communication protocols designed to use small, low power digital radios for WPANs.

Z-Wave: wireless communication protocol for low-power appliances.

This example consists of three separate communication cycles:

We propose a technical solution, taking its benefits of relying mainly on main stream components while being able to integrate existing domotic systems and devices. The control logic of the domotic system will be run distributed by embedded JAVA platforms, the Local Control Units. Drivers for specific devices can be implemented in JAVA; the logic behind the domotic system will be configurable by a graphical user interface.
