Internet of Pi Home Automation System - Alex Strandberg
A video showing my Raspberry Pi-powered home automation system that uses a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino Mega, along with other components to control appliances in a room from an iOS app and act as an alarm clock.
Four PowerSwitch Tails turn appliances in a room on or off.
The signals to control the PowerSwitch Tails are sent over 3.5mm audio cables.
The appliances are turned on or off manually or based on a schedule or external sensors.
For example, when the room is too warm, a fan can be configured to turn on.
When a person enters the room, a light can be configured to turn on.
The RGB LED Matrix shuts off when the room is dark.
A reed switch and foot switch notify when a door is opened and when a person leaves the room, respectively.
A Pimoroni Display-O-Tron HAT connected to the Raspberry Pi allows the user to manually control appliances and interact with the system.
The system acts as an alarm clock by playing music at a scheduled time to wake up the user.
