Modeling and Implementation of Smart Home and Self-control Window using FPGA and Petri Net

Abstract

The function of the window is to provide comfort for the householders by regulating the indoor environment. However, most of the residence windows are still controlled manually. Although, a quite number of automated windows based on the Internet of Things (IoT) has been proposed in the literature, yet a smart windows control with multi-objectives functions related to the environmental factors remain open gap. This paper aims to contribute to this area by developing a cyber-physical system (CPS) for smart room and windows automation control (SRWAC) using set of rules generated from the Petri Net simulator for determining the system response to the inputs data sensed from the indoor and outdoor sensing units (temperature, dust, rain, and carbon monoxide sensors) in coding Atmega 328 controller. We also simulate the window controller using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in Xilinx ISE. The results of the system tested show that automated response of the indoor and outdoor conditions can be achieved spontaneously.
