The article focuses on the design and implementation of an intelligent building.
Several companies deals with the realization of such home, that offer their own products and solutions to simply and efficiently build a new or rebuild the old house into an intelligent building. Companies that offer solutions in this area have a higher quality and sophistication, but its price is higher. Our effort was to create a smart home that would be more affordable. For the management of the intelligent system is necessary the „heart“, which controls the whole house. We decided to use the Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller in our project. We connected the house to the Internet using ethernet shield. This link allowed us to create a web page that can be used to control individual systems and also inform us about the different states of intelligent elements. Our model includes intelligent lighting controlled via the Internet, button or by motion. Other systems are intelligent blinds controlled aically by external lighting or manually. Opening and closing the garage door can also be via the Internet or via the RF remote control. As a safety element we used a sensor to capture dangerous gases in the room, and in case of danger an audible alarm sounds. Another system is an intelligent roof that comes out or slides when it is raining. Each room has a temperature sensor that records the temperature and these values are displayed on the website. The use of Arduino in this model was sufficient to control all intelligent systems.
