BRIGHTNET IOT: NEXT-GEN INTELLIGENT LIGHTING SOLUTION

Abstract

The aim of this thesis was to use various web development, Internet of Things (IoT) and software development technologies to create a smart home lighting system prototype. System’s prototype development using more affordable hardware and software appliances to controlS home 12 Volt lighting devices without abundance of features, while maintaining the aspect of continuous common communication between devices of IoT systems. The thesis is structured into three main content parts: Part 2, background research for hardware and software components, programming languages as well as Web system and IoT system security issues, other technologies used in development of such management systems. Part 3, system’s hardware and software subsystem specification. Part 4, system’s and its components design model, results and inspection of implemented prototype. The development of the project showed that IoT systems use a vast variety of different technologies, including many variables when generating use cases for wanted results. The created smart home lighting system prototype was a successful, cheaper and simpler alternative to the current smart home management system consumer market, however, it lacks the plug-and-play nature of such expensive and less accessible systems like Apple Homekit or Fibaro.
