Status Update

● Develop system to automatically control lights and audio/video inside a home based on the user's movement.

● Have IR Sensors and Gumstix/Robostix. Have ordered WiFistix and also X-10 controllers/receivers.

● First step is to detect directional breaks of the IR beam, and use that data to turn on/off lights.

Architecture

Use Cases

● Turn on/off lights as a person enters/exits rooms.

● Change settings remotely (level of lighting intensity/sound volume) from a cell phone.

● “Follow Me” audio/video (television and stereo systems that stream content to the users location in the house).

● Person tracking. Find a child or pet's location within the house.

Risks & Mitigation

● Bluetooth Communication/ID.

● Data/Information Transfer.

● Identification.

● Integration of a wide variety of components.

● Use RFID to identify, use WiFi for comm.

● Decrease amount of information shared.

● Only allow single user.
