2. Motivation Energy costs continue to rise Energy independence is an important national issue, with energy conservation as a key component With the advances in mobile technologies, people want increasingly more access and control over all aspects of their lives

3. Goals Create a prototype for a “Smart House” that will: Reduce energy consumption Increase energy efficiency Allow for home automation Allow for remote access via a user friendly GUI delivered through an internet browser

4. Objectives The objectives of the “Smart House” will be to: Reduce wasted energy consumption by automatically shutting off nonessential appliances and lights in unoccupied rooms. Allow the user to adjust blind settings in each room so the blinds will open/close automatically, adjusting appropriately to help reduce energy consumption Allow the user to remotely view and adjust statuses of various lights and electronics in each room

5. Objectives Wireless communication: The prototype will be coordinated by one main microcontroller, which will wirelessly communicate with the other components throughout the house via RF. Design Contests: We hope to be able to enter this project in both UCF’s and Texas Instruments’ contest.

6. Requirements Communicate to electronic devices through a webpage Automated lights turn on and off as user enters/exits a room Electronic devices and lights time out to save power Blinds open/close according to amount of incoming light & user request User has control over multiple electronic devices within the household from one source

7. Specifications (User End) Lights & Electronics time out 5 minutes after doorway sensor is tripped & no activity (Power Savings) Web interface accessible to user at all times (User Accessibility) Web interface reports back status of all lights, blinds & electronics on the network (User Accessibility)

8. Specifications (Design End) Spend at least 90% of time in sleep mode External 4 bit dip switch on all devices to set unique address Devices in sleep mode until external interrupt wakes them up RF communications operate on 900 MHz frequency USB, Ethernet connections for data transfer Light Controllers are tied directly to doorway sensors

28. Graphical User Interface Once the user pulls up the IP address of the Server in their browser, the GUI will appear in the user’s web browser. The GUI will display the status of the lights, electronics, and blinds in each room allow the user to turn a light on or off by clicking the appropriate button allow the user to open or close the blinds in each room

30. Remote Access

31. Remote Access-Routing The Stellaris LM3S8962 will be on the PCB fitted with an RJ45 jack that will connect to the home’s internet connection through the Linksys WRT54G router via an Ethernet cable. Since we are assuming that different people would have different routers, the choice of which router to use was fairly arbitrary, as the prototype would need to be compatible with a wide range of routers. The Linksys WRT54G was chosen since it is a popular router which is reasonably priced The main requirement for the router to be compatible would be that a user would be able to properly configure the router’s port forwarding

32. Remote Access Configure HTTP forwarding: Application: HTTP External port: 80 Internal port: 80 Protocol: TCP IP Address: 192.168.200 Configure HTTPS forwarding: Application: HTTPS External port: 443 Internal port: 443 Protocol: TCP IP Address: 192.168.1.200 Configure RWW forwarding: Application: RWW External port: 4125 Internal port: 4125 Protocol: TCP IP Address: 192.168.1.200
