Title
Zombee: a home automation prototype for retrofitted environments
Abstract
As home automation systems become more and more present, we propose a new solution by addressing some of the shortcomings of current solutions. We are developing an open system specially built for existing environments which need flexible automation functionalities. Our solution has the advantage of seamless integration in the existing home structure without important changes such as wiring when installing our system. The system is easy to operate and offers great flexibility in regular monitoring and controlling home automation tasks. Zombee brings a new approach by supporting the user to create complex automation programs, which are orchestrating device interactions tailored to the user's needs. These programs are run in background without any assistance from the user. In this manner, the user sets its own use-cases and can change the behavior of the system programmatically.
