AUTOMAÇÃO DE AR CONDICIONADO RESIDENCIAL UTILIZANDO ARDUINO E ANDROID

Abstract

This work demonstrates the development, construction and testing of an automation prototype of an air conditioner using Android and Arduino. For the prototype, a project was created and an automated system was developed using electronic components and Arduino. The automatic control system is created through a Bluetooth connection and an Android mobile application, developed on the App Inventor platform, provided online by the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Simple and reused materials were used to assemble the project prototype, creating a very simple and easy to use application. The main functions performed are to turn the air conditioner on and off, measure the room temperature and based on this temperature control the air conditioner. These functions are basic, but very useful in the automation process, since from them we can make the air conditioner save energy. The main contribution to the proposal of this project is the development of a prototype for analysis and simulation on a small scale for the automation of an air conditioning device, taking into account the high number of usability of this device and the practicality that it will give to the end user. Finally, it can be noted that the developed system is efficient, has precise operability and has low implementation and operation costs, and can be applied in a real system.
