Design and Implementation of a Modular Sensor Node Based on the Smart Home Standard Matter
Type of work:
Bachelor Thesis
Assignment:
In this work, modular sensor node based on an ESP32 microcontroller shall be developed and implemented. The aim is to support several standard interfaces for sensors and thus make the node flexible and expandable. The sensor node shall be able to be integrated into a smart home system using the standard protocol Matter. The final implementation shall be evaluated in terms of power and energy requirements, costs, flexibility, and expandability.
Skills:
- C/C++ programming
- Network and bus technologies
- Electronic design
Background:
Currently, smart home systems become more and more popular. However, many systems are proprietary and cannot be combined with components from other vendors. Matter is a new, vendor independent, and open standard for smart home applications based on modern technologies like IPv6, Ethernet, WiFi, and Thread/Zigbee. With matter, cost-efficient and vendor independent smart home systems become available. Cheap and expandable platforms for sensor nodes are the basis for tailored and affordable implementations
