Home Automation Application for the Monitoring and Control of an Electric Water Heater Using AWS Technology
The goal of the following project is to develop a mobile app for controlling and monitoring an electric water heater. To achieve this, we used some tools from the AWS cloud service platform, studied useful communication protocols for the Internet of things and chose MQ Telemetry Transport. The final architecture of the project consists of four main components: a mobile application intended to be the user interface; a server that executes continuous processes for the scheduling of changes of state in the heater, based on data created in the application; an MQTT manager or broker; and an Arduino Yun microcontroller that allows to establish communication with the water heater.
