Today’s technology provides a smart and secure ability to a home automation system. However to overcoming drawbacks and improving the system in a cost effective way needs to be done in a broader sense by paying attention to the most important purpose of a house automation system.
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss a data logger, an automatic data collecting device, extension to a home automation system to improve the performance of the system. The focus is on the data logger design and implementation. The main objective is to propose a data logger addition to be practiced by home automation vendors.
To justify the data logger addition, a prototype data logger design for an automated ventilation system is carried out as a case study. The design consists of a microprocessor which runs the designed software, a serial communication cabling and home automation system simulator. A serial communication protocol software plugin to open-source software is designed to provide a working data logger system.
The finding of this paper shows with a low cost device that a data logger can be designed and used to improve the home automation system. It is recommended for home automation system vendors to include industry-wide open standard data logger design in the system.
