TIDH

Tez In Da House


The System

"Tez In Da House" is a system for controlling and monitoring mostly everything in a house.

Systemoverview

TIDH-Bus

The TIDH-Bus has two tasks to accomplish:
  • data-transmission
  • supply the nodes with power
therefor the bus is a 4-wire line. 2 wires for RS485 and 2 wires for power. For the Layer-1 I chose RS485 because its cheap, easy to handle and robust. The Layer-2 communication is based on the ROBIN protocol conceived and discussed on the TheRoboticsClub.
At the moment these devices can be connected to the system:

Master-Gateway

The Master-Gateway has to perform these tasks:
  • RS232-Gateway
  • Bus-Power-Controller
  • Storage (MMC)
  • RTC

Control-Terminal

The Control-Terminal is a simple graphical LCD with 8 capacitive-sensor-keys, it is used for displaying and/or changing values from other nodes on the network, eg. display the temperature from the weather-sensor.

Weather-Sensor

The Weather-Sensor is able to measure:
  • Temperature
  • Rain
  • Windspeed
  • Pressure
  • Humidity

Rainwater-Controller

The Rainwater-Controller is responsible for
  • measuring the water-quantity in a cistern
  • control the system-waterpressure
  • control the sprinkler in the garden
  • alert if somethings wrong (eg. pump not working)
