smart-window

This is a Client/Server IoT project, Smart Window.

This project:

• Automize the window shades to open and close automatically based on the outside sun light.
• Contain a Dashboard (visualize the sun light lux value, and the shades position history).
• Add the ability to the client to command the shades from any place all over the world.

Notes:

• Due to the lack of Hardware, we simulate the hardware by a .txt file, for actuators we write in a file, and for sensors we read value from the file.
• You can modify the file manipulation parts by the code of ur hardware based on hardware reference.
• Make sure to change the absolute paths in the project before deployment.

Hardware

• Raspberry pi
• LDR
• Stepper motor (In the file .txt i named "servo-moter" but it should be a Stepper motor 😶 )

Server (Raspberry pi)

• Written in C, python and shell.
• Get data from sensors and command actuators.
• Save sensors values and actuators action to the database.
• The database contains two tables:
  • ldr table: contain values and time of saving.
  • motor_hitory table: contain time of changing position, direction (up/down, open/close) and type (manual/automatic).

Client (Web Application)

• Written in php, javascript, html, and bootstrap for styling.
• Dashboard is mobile friendly.
• Dashboard for visualizing the system history and command the shades.
