Automation TA

Climate

Climate is the attempt primarily to regulate the temperature and secondarily the humidity. The system that I am interested in could be described as 'leveraged' being neither active nor passive. System that can be manipulated are:

• Skylights
• Windows
• Shades
• Solar chimney
• Solar thermal

Security

Doors will lock automatically. People will be given individual QR codes for access and they will be logged. I could also do this with phones or some sort of fob. It would be nice if you could just walk up to the door and have it unlock.

Monitoring and Access

All the systems above will log their data at a central location. This will be viewable online. We will have the ability to control certain aspects online as well such as locking doors and doing a hard cut off of water, gas and electricity.

I envision a setup where the data stored locally and in a cloud VM. The VM will provide the web interface and the local machine will handle the actual automation.
