System Architecture and Project Functionality

On the embedded part, this project includes mainly three parts, and they are:

• Temperature Module
• monitor and adjust the home temperature
• Dimmer Module
• monitor and adjust the density of the lights
• Camera Module
• take pictures when motion is detected

The system architecture can be illustrated using this graph:

To gain a more detailed understanding, here are 10 main functionalities we aim to implement:

• User can see the recent temperature information
• User can see the most recent image which is detected
• The user should be able to put the system into a "stand-by" mode
• User can set a threshold of temperature to control the motor automatically
• User can get notification message on the phone 
• User can control the speed of motor to control temperature
• User can control the intensity of lights
• User can control the camera when to take a picture
• User can view graphs of history
• System can trigger the light when motion is detected
