Task:
‘Global-Technologies' is a system engineering company that develops systems to support a wide range of applications.
You have been asked as an engineer in the ‘Global- Technologies' company, to design and develop a Smart Home System ‘SHS'. The SHS usually includes several sub-systems such as renewable energy sub-system, security sub-system, lighting control sub-system, gate control sub-system and other sub-systems that you may include in your SHS design (see an example in Figure 1).
Provide a detailed, professional report for your director that contains the following: 1- A review of different SHS and sub-systems including their main elements.
2- A design of a typical SHS system that incorporates at least two sub-systems. The system design should include DAQ/ microcontroller and any other required elements for SHS operation.
3- Select one of the subsystems discussed in (2) and develop a proof of concept. 4- Validate the operation of the subsystem developed in (3) and comment on the
result.
5- Proposal for the next phases of development to include the following:
A. Using of a low-cost controller instead of the current one
B. Using industrial networks of data transmissions; wireless or wired data transmission and Internet of Things
