Overview
Automation system to be put into operation at LVL1 Space. The automation system is a hybrid system that acts as a central point for connecting various hardware devices as well software and internet related information. The ideal configuration is that all hardware devices connect to this system so that it can use the information to trigger other related actions on other systems. Just like any other A.I. system, the more information you give it, the smarter it becomes. Types of attached devices can include environmental sensor, occupancy sensors, penetration sensors, or any other type of sensor that provides either a digital, analog, or serial output. Other information such as weather, emails, time, etc can be obtained utilizing internet resources or databases. Any action, sensor value, or data from any system can trigger and action or event on any other attached system. The possibilities are endless.
Hardware Map:
Terms to Know
- Sensor = any device that monitors an event,action,or hardware status
- Trigger = An event that causes an action to occur
- Scene = a set of actions that are triggered together to create a specific enviroment
General Automation Event Ideas
- Auto lights on/off based on occupancy
- Occupancy status view from web page
- Auto arm space upon no occupancy
- Phone calls to members upon "Critical" conditions (server down, alarm system trigger, building left unlocked or open)
- Access control, user tracking/logging of equipment usuage
- Space "Scene" trigger for specific events
- Routine events reminders and checks
Specific Automation Ideas
Trash Day Announcement and "Trash Out" check
- Sensor located on trash cans
- Scheduled trash days in event calendar
- Checking to see if trash can is present or away
- Alert Notification if trash is not taken out by specific time
Meeting Scene
- Pause and/or Mute Media Server
- Announce meeting 15min prior
- Announce meeting start 5min prior
- Suspend all low-level voice alerts until meeting closed
People Present Logging
- log and be aware of when specific people are present
- Greet people with random greetings
- Set "personal" scenes if no other members present
Severe Wheather Announcements
- Voice notification of sever wheather conditions
Areas Needing Assistance
- VB Script for parsing serial data into device status
- Arduino sketch for sending all sensor values out through serial
