Final Evaluation Presentation

Overview of the Project
Designing and building an automation system based on
the principles of Internet of Things (IoT)

A system control and overview mechanism via
smartphone app developed for Android platform

Project Objectives
Research: Study and discuss the Internet of Things
approach for different aspects of control and automation

Design: Conceive a general approach for a system of
interconnected devices that can communicate with, and
take orders from users smartphone

Implementation: Create the working prototype and user
applications for demonstration purposes and implement
them for a variety of daily-life devices
