THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A MOBILE APP TO REMOTELY CONTROL A TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM

A temperature control system is one of the most widely used control systems nowadays. It is used in many environments, including people’s houses. The advantages of such a system in a house are plenty, a couple of them being an increased comfort and long-term energy savings comparing to other temperature control systems. Another technology which is really gaining traction in the last years is the Internet of Things (IoT). This technology aims to connect every device to another one through the internet. The present paper aims to present a temperature control system, designed for home use, which can be controlled remotely, by a mobile phone app and using the Internet of Things technology. The main advantage is that the heating system can be turned on or off pre-emptively, so that the user reaps immediately the benefits. As an example, the user can turn on the heating system in his home long before he comes home, thus having from the start the desired temperature. The proposed solution can be adapted and customized, according to the user’s wishes.
