Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Productivity in an office space is directly affected by atmospheric conditions. With the capabilities of Internet of Things appliances, it’s possible to automate the surrounding environment and maintain optimal work conditions while, at the same time, integrating with the team’s workflow. The direct control of the environment then becomes part of any office management application used by the teams. This dissertation addresses the creation of a prototype capable of doing so. Starting with a Single Board Computer packed with atmospheric sensors, it describes the building blocks for office automation, creating a new architecture and communication protocol. Instead of implementing the code to interact with physical appliances and their own intrinsic behaviour and interfaces, this protocol is easily extensible, allowing consumers to add custom nodes responsible for bridging that gap. These custom nodes can themselves produce readings and automate physical appliances regardless of the nodes that are already taking part in the protocol. Having a protocol with those properties, the prototype to be developed can produce relevant information about the surrounding environment while leaving complex computations to a third party, which can be technology enthusiasts or even appliance vendors.
