Microcurve Automation System
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryMicrocurve automation system is an additional layer over Wi-Fi based automation with addition of antenna-based mechanism attached to the router that will increase the operational range of appliances up to 1km (LOS). It consists of:
- Microcurve android application
- Microcurve box (attached to Wi-Fi router)
- our own antenna-based modules
The user will face the same experience as that of Wi-Fi based automation.
Project ObjectivesThe objective of Microcurve automation system is to provide cost-effective yet comprehensive solution by designing a proprietary software and hardware that will benefit:
- Large scaled smart buildings
- Commercial market
- Helpful for large scale irrigation systems
- Intelligent fire fighting
- Logistics tracking
In this project, we will build an antenna-based automation system. MAS is an additional layer over Wi-Fi based automation with addition of antenna-based mechanism attached to the router that will increase the operational range of appliances up to 1km (LOS). If button is clicked to switch on an appliance from Microcurve app, data sent by the device reaches the Wi-Fi router. Data includes the destination address with the IP address of Ethernet shield attached to the router. Router then routes the data towards micro-controller via port forwarding. Then data is accessed by the controller and sent towards the specific appliance via antenna transceiver. The transceiver attached to the appliance then converts incoming analog data to digital form and then that data is executed, and appliance is turned on via relay. Same process happens for turning off the appliance.
Benefits of the ProjectThe project will benefit:
- Large scaled smart buildings
- Commercial market
- Helpful for large scale irrigation systems
- Intelligent fire fighting
- Logistics tracking
by providing 1km (LOS) operational range. The appliance will be operated through an android application.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableThe final deliverable will have:
- Microcurve SmartApp
- Microcurve box (attached to Wi-Fi router)
- our own antenna-based modules
