Open Source Android Application developed in a party of three in 2014-2015 to a scientific research on the Information Technology Center (CTI), Campinas. The main objective of this project was to use obsolete computers in order to reuse them to control and monitor the IoT devices in a house. That is, we boot those obsolete computers with an extremely light operating system (such as Linux Lubuntu), we installed Apache TomCat with ScadaBR on them, and we used the PC as a Database to control and monitor a residence. However, to easy things to the user, we developed an Android application to communicate with the ScadaBR server through the usage of a Soap API. Therefore, we could control the Iot devices in our house using our Android Applications from any place connected to the internet. All those details can be found on the contribution to the ScadaBR forum. Also, this project was presented at the Feria Nacional de Educación, Artes, Ciencias y Tecnología, held in Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, September 21-25, 2015.
Technologies used:
- We used Arduino to control IoT devices in our house. Also, we used ModBus Protocol to allow Arduino and ScadaBR to communicate.
- We used KSOAP2 library to establish the connection between our Android App and the Apache TomCat + ScadaBR server. Some details regarding the ScadaBR API can be found here.
- MPAndroidChart to develop the Charts of resource usage on the Android Application.
