Project Overview

Electronicode is an academic group project that focuses on democratizing home automation. The system allows users to easily design, configure, and expand their own smart environments via a simple and intuitive mobile app. Whether it&aposs opening a door when a recognized person approaches or automating lighting systems, users can make their ideas reality without needing technical knowledge.

Key Features

- Drag-and-Drop System Design:
The mobile application enables users to visually design their automation systems using easy drag-and-drop tools.
- Module Library and Assistance:
Users can either choose from a catalog of existing modules or request personalized support for new types of systems.
- Simplified Wiring:
All electronic components connect easily using breadboards, with no complex soldering or assembly required.
- Scalable Architecture:
Users can add as many smart modules as they want without changing the core of the system. A single central unit (Raspberry Pi) manages communication with all connected devices.

Technical Approach

- Frontend Development: React Native for building the mobile app with a focus on user-friendly interactions.
- Backend and Communication: Python APIs running on a Raspberry Pi to handle communication between the app and the system.
- Database Management: MySQL was used to store user configurations, recognized individuals, and system states.
- Embedded Systems: Arduino (programmed in C++) for terminal devices, enabling interaction with various modules (sensors, motors, etc.).
- OS and Server Management: Linux environment for managing the Raspberry Pi central unit.

My Role

I contributed to the overall system architecture design, developed parts of the mobile application, and worked on the communication interfaces between the app and the Raspberry Pi. I also helped with the database design and testing of the smart modules integration.
