The open space is an important part for every working environment. It can boost employees' efficiency and make work less stressful and depressive. Moreover, there are several sustainability aspects that could be satisfied by implementing control features. The open space at LUT is not restful enough. It just has basic facilities such as coffee machine, arm chairs, a guitar and TV.
The goals of the project is:
The artificial environment should be close to the natural conditions.This can be achieved by implementing sounding (relaxing music), humidifying the air with different smells (forest, blossom flowers, etc.), smart lighting (with predefined lights for corresponding natural scenes). In the same time, control should be seamlessly embedded into open space and be user-friendly.
Automation server: FHEM (Freundliche Hausautomatisierung und Energie-Messung)
FHEM is a server for home automation tasks. The server utilizes different front-ends and Web interfaces. It is intended to automate common tasks in a household, such as controlling heating, lights, logging events (temperature, humidity, security). FHEM works with a vast number of home automation technologies and protocols: FS20, HomeMatic, KNX, ZWave, EnOcean, X10, etc.
HW platform: Digital Human Services (DHS) Computertechnik
Single-board computer with the touch screen and RF interface.
Communication protocol (Devices-Server): FS20
Non-encrypted technology that operates at sub-1 GHz band and utilizes amplitude modulation.
Sensors and Actuators:
Bluetooth Low Energy
Bluetooth low energy (BLE) was specially designed for the Internet of Things (IoT). It implements low energy functionality which makes it perfect for devices that utilize energy harvesting or batteries. Major operating systems and hardware architectures support BLE which enables its deployment for a broad range of devices, from home appliances to smart wearables and sensors. Key technology differentiators:
Insteon
Insteon is a home automation technology that enables switches, lights, thermostats, sensors, remote controls, and other electrically powered devices to interoperate.
