The Digital Home of the Future
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT?
The purpose of this project is to introduce students to building automation through the use of smart home technologies. By integrating various IoT devices such as smart doorbells, energy meters, smoke alarms, smart lighting, and sensors, we will make the teaching more intuitive and playful for the students.
The project will focus on both practical work and digital control via apps and voice control, giving students a thorough understanding of modern building technologies. This will strengthen their skills in automation and give them insight into the installation and maintenance of smart systems that are relevant to the future job market.
