Abstract

Denne afhandling undersøger, hvordan mobile løsninger kan give brugere fjernadgang og automatisering på tværs af heterogene hjemmeenheder. Arbejdet bygger på HomePort-projektet, der adresserer interoperabilitet mellem domotik-enheder fra forskellige leverandører, og udvikler Domotics On-The-Go 2.0: en Android-baseret applikation, som kan forbinde til en HomePort-server og styre en bygning på afstand. Afhandlingen omfatter analyse af kommunikationsstandarder, valg af platform (iOS versus Android), samt design og implementering af et REST-baseret og SSL-sikret system med kommunikationsmanager, persistens, automatiseringstjeneste og en brugervenlig grænseflade. Applikationen henter og fortolker enhedslisten, giver kontroladgang til enheder og understøtter profiler og scenarier (fx vind, regn, tilstedeværelse, lys- og temperaturstyring), så hjemmet kan reagere efter brugerens ønsker. Rapporten beskriver implementering og grundlæggende tests; detaljerede resultater fremgår ikke af uddraget, men løsningen demonstrerer mulighed for fjernstyring og automatisering via HomePort.

This thesis explores how mobile solutions can provide remote access and automation across heterogeneous home devices. Building on the HomePort project, which addresses interoperability among domotic devices from different vendors, it develops Domotics On-The-Go 2.0: an Android application that connects to a HomePort server to manage a building remotely. The work covers analysis of communication standards, platform selection (iOS versus Android), and the design and implementation of a REST-based, SSL-secured system featuring a communication manager, persistence, an automation service, and a user-friendly interface. The app retrieves and parses the device list, enables device control, and supports profiles and scenarios (e.g., wind, rain, presence, light and temperature management) to make the home respond to user preferences. The report describes implementation and basic tests; detailed results are not provided in the excerpt, but the solution demonstrates the feasibility of remote control and automation via HomePort.
