Lighting Control Using Raspberry Pi and Oblo Living Home Automation System

Abstract

Home automation systems are bringing comfort and safety into the life of a modern human. They are becoming more popular each day and most of the well-known software companies are fighting to offer their newest solution in this area. OBLO Living is a home automation system developed by the scientificresearch institute “RT-RK”. This paper presents one successful binding of the Raspberry Pi computer and the OBLO living system. The binding was made using a C++ application developed by the authors of this paper. The developed application is executed in real time on the Raspberry Pi platform. It supports a graphical user interface and its purpose is maintaining constant illumination of the room regardless of the daylight.
