WIRELESS COMMUNICATON OF SENSOR COMPONENTS WITH iGORENJE HOME SERVER

V diplomskem delu opisujemo razvoj modula, ki omogoča komunikacijo med hišnim strežnikom iGorenje in poljubno senzorsko napravo. Komunikacijski modul temelji na mikrokrmilniku PIC in omogoča pošiljanje ter prejemanje podatkov in kontrolnih sekvenc senzorske naprave preko brezžičnega modula ConnectOne. Najprej predstavimo programsko opremo in orodja, ki smo jih uporabili za razvoj in testiranje komunikacijskega modula. Podrobneje opišemo zasnovo komunikacijskega modula, ter programsko opremo njegovega mikrokrmilnika PIC. V nadaljevanju podamo analizo komunikacijskega protokola s hišnim strežnikom iGorenje ter analizo meritev kvalitete signala za brezžično komunikacijo v testnem stanovanju. V realističnih testnih razmerah je naš modul dosegel hitrosti prenosa do 2,67 Mb/s. Diplomsko delo sklenemo z diskusijo o nadaljnjih možnih izboljšavah predstavljenega komunikacijskega modula.This thesis addresses development of a communication module that is based on PIC microcontroller and supports the communication between advanced sensor components and Connect One wireless module in the iGorenje architecture. The latter connects intelligent household appliances with iGorenje home server and supports remote control of domestic appliances. First, the employed software and programming tools are briefly introduced. Next, the design and development of the proposed communication module and the required system software of PIC microcontroller are described in details, along with analysis and tests of communication protocol between iGorenje home server and household appliances. In our tests in a typical home environment, the introduced module achieved a transfer rate up to 2.67 Mb/s. We conclude the thesis with a discussion of further possible improvements of the presented communication module
