This thesis details the research, design, and prototyping of a Smart Tub system made for modern smart home integration. It aims to deliver an automated, sensor-based bathing solution that tracks water quality, sustains ideal temperatures, and enables seamless user control via a dedicated interface, thereby boosting safety, comfort, and efficiency.
A central focus of the project is the implementation of water quality monitoring using a combination of sensors capable of detecting pH levels, turbidity, and chemical composition. These measurements are essential for maintaining hygiene, preventing skin irritation, and ensuring overall safety during use. In addition to water quality, the system addresses the challenge of selecting and integrating a suitable heating mechanism that supports automated control. Various heating options are evaluated, including electric heaters and heat pumps, with consideration given to responsiveness and compatibility with smart control logic.
The control strategy should be analysed in terms of its effectiveness in maintaining stable operating conditions and optimizing energy consumption. The system also features real-time data visualization through a user interface, enabling users to monitor system status and data.
