8. INTRODUCTION TO
INTRAHOUSE SYSTEM
?Who had experience with similar systems?
?¡
?Automation systems have wide variety. they can be
classified according to control method for such
structures:
? Decentralized
? Centralized
? Mixed
? Hierarchical
9. INTRODUCTION TO
INTRAHOUSE SYSTEM
?Decentralized Structure: can be applied to create
automation system for controlled objects which are
informationally and physically independent
?Centralized Structure: one Main Control Unit is
responsible for control all objects. It collects and
processes information on operated objects, analyzes this
information and generates operating signals according to
set of rules
?Mixed Structure: preserve Centralized principle, that is
objects are controlled by one Master device taking into
account the condition of all the objects within the
system. However the system also involves other control
devices. They can control their own salve devices.
10. INTRODUCTION TO
INTRAHOUSE SYSTEM
?Hierarchical Structure: intended for control very complex
object systems. Tasks will break into groups, and
specific requirements are assigned to each group. So it is
necessary to create an hierarchical control system, to ad
a new control level which will coordinate operation work
of all groups and parts of system.
11. INTRODUCTION TO
INTRAHOUSE SYSTEM
?We are interesting in specific area of automation
system. This area is ¡°Building Automation¡±
?Smart home system is aimed to provide comfort, safety
and resources to all home residences.
?It should be able to recognize specific situations that
occurs in the home, and appropriately respond to them;
one system can control others¡¯ behaviors
?Example:
? heating system never works against AC
? Heating is carrying out by weather, and also taking into account a set
of factors: (wind strength, weather prediction, date and time)
12. INTRODUCTION TO
INTRAHOUSE SYSTEM
?So how to eliminate the need of using multiple remotes
while watching TV, dozens of switches in controlling the
lights, individual blocks in management ventilation and
climate systems, video surveillance, alarm systems,
motorized gates and other systems
?Here let me present to you intraHouse system: a
specialized software for building automation systems
and developing smart house solutions. This system can
be as main part of control systems. It is highly scalable
and designed in such a way that it can simultaneously
work with various connectable devices having different
protocols.
13. INTRODUCTION TO
INTRAHOUSE SYSTEM
?intraHouse system comes with iHServer, which is a
miniature computer.
?We can say that the intraHouse system +
iHServer can server as central control element
for the utility system of building, as
visualization of their operation, and link
between devices
?intraHouse system is very flexible system.
According to structure, it can be centralized
and mixed. It effectively combines wired and
wireless technologies. It is built in such a way
to ensure simultaneously operation of
connected devices from different manufactures
with different protocols
?The range of the equipment compatible with
intraHouse system is theoretically unlimited.
The line of the equipment supported by
intraHouse is continuously growing
14. DESCRIPTION OF INTERFACES
?intraHouse system interfaces are web-based
applications, and are fully compatible with any operating
system, and can be operated using any computer or
smart devices
15. DESCRIPTION OF INTERFACES
?There is no need to purchase separate license for each user
?intraHouse system interfaces are very user friendly to both
user and configurator. What makes it so friendly? let¡¯s look
at its structure ¡
16. DESCRIPTION OF INTERFACES
?The system executive
components:
?UI SERVER: the visualization module,
which allows user to see current
situation and system operation status,
and draw them using any computers
or gadgets (PC, iPad, SmartPhone)
?SCEN ENGINE: provides system
operation logic. Thus, creating
scenarios for it, will define how the
smart house system will work
?UNIT SERVER: interacts with hardware
devices. Drivers are used; they
correspond to USB or Ethernet devise.
Modules enables communication
through protocols between iHServer
and control devices, which send
commands and accept data from
sensors and devices. Thus it is
possible to integrate with
comportments of different
manufactures and protocols
17. DESCRIPTION OF INTERFACES
?In this figure we can see example
of process flow
? An event is reported by UNIT SERVER
? KERNEL saves device status
? SCEN ENGINE dictates the rules
? UI SERVER displays devices status
20. DESCRIPTION OF INTERFACES
?Project Structure -> Software (Levels)
?Software Database is empty! (No Devices, even
physically they are existing however we can not operate
them)
?So, our task to fill System Database:
?Control Units
?Actuators
?Scenarios
?Service Notifications
22. DESCRIPTION OF INTERFACES
USER INTERFACE HOUSE
MANAGER
For daily management of Smart
House system
To adjust system settings,
structure and the logic of
Smart House system behaviors
Very friendly and intuitive The main purpose of this
course
