Wastewater Automation – The Development of a Low Cost, Distributed Automation System

SmallCAN - A Reliable, Low-Power and Low-Cost Distributed Embedded System for Energy Efficient Building Automation

In this paper we propose a new reliable, low-power and low-cost platform for a building automation system, BAS, which is suitable to be used as a single platform for all appliances of a building. Furthermore today’s platforms for building automation do not focus on low-energy consumption of the platform itself. The costs are also quite high and the installation has limited flexibility and needs...

Low-cost Automation and Scada:

Automating water projects makes economic sense in the western United States. But is it justified in other parts of the world? The authors feel strongly that it is. This paper discusses the experiences of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and others in developing, installing, and evaluating low-cost automation systems in the western United States. It also briefly discusses similar low-cost automati...

Cloud based low-cost Home Monitoring and Automation System

This paper presents a cloud based low cost home automation system implemented using the Digilent chipKIT Uno32 and Arduino Uno. This is a proof of concept for a home that can be monitored and controlled remotely from anywhere in the world via the Internet. A “connected” home like this can make life more convenient and also safer. The remote monitoring aspect of this project demonstrates the abi...
