Project Review Maestro Home Automation System Track users automatically Maintain environment Minimal installation
Status Update Acquired Hardware 2x gumstix (02/08) Infrared Sensors/ Emitters (02/18) X10 Controller/ Receiver (02/22) wifistix (02/22)
Status Update Assumptions Made User unaware of Maestro, not malicious Single user Two rooms, One door Risks Mitigated Bluetooth limitations Multi-User design
Project Status Good Infrared Sensors Motion Detector (not in demo) Bluetooth (not in demo)
Project Status Bad X10 Controller/ Receiver RFID Tags/Reader wifistix
Demo Scenario Person in room A Move to room B through IR sensors Light A turns Off Light B turns On
Future Direction Ideally… Support for multiple users Manually-configurable settings (Bluetooth phone application) Better than Bill’s house!!!
Future Direction Challenges: Working with our X10 hardware Implementing the phone application
