This project presents an overview of an automated home control system developed by Nick Atkinson, Matt Majeika, and Ungku Afiq Ungku Farid. Utilizing shell scripts triggered by cron every 15 minutes, the system interfaces with an AI Home web client that updates the schedule entries and controls the thermostat effectively with built-in safety features. The final phase includes options for a Design Day demo, featuring either a live video feed or a demo board showcasing the installation. The comprehensive system involves various elements, including hardware specifications, software components, and communication protocols.

Scheduling • Wrote a couple of shell scripts to be triggered every 15 minutes by cron • This accesses a method in the AI Home web client which looks at all schedule entries • Correctly updates next event time/day • Now has full thermostat control w/ dummy-proofing • Final step: Add Insteon control
Design Day Demo • Two main options • Live video feed from your home • Demo board on site, with photos of home installation • Need to decide which is most convincing
Design Day Poster • Operational Concept • Hardware System Overview • Home Control Server Diagram • Software Components • Insteon Control/Functionality • Communicating Thermostat Ctrl/Func • Database Schema
