Tiivistelmä
There exists tens of different wireless communication standards and proprietary solutions covering wide range of applications. This work focused solely on wireless standards for IoT use, and there are 20 of them. This work did not handle proprietary designs that fit things such as garage door openers, remote keyless entry on vehicles, tire pressure monitoring, or all those other unique ISM bands’ wireless devices. Finding the right wireless standard for IoT is a challenge.
This thesis aims to study different wireless standards and technologies, find out their strengths and weaknesses, and help to choose the right wireless technology for IoT projects.
The focus of the thesis was to find out how various wireless technologies are supported by home devices and how a home automation system can utilize and control their information. The study looked at four different home automation systems: IKEA Smart Home, Apple HomeKit, Arlo Surveillance Camera System, and Home Assistant software solution. The Home Assistant software was chosen, because it is an open system and supports a variety of hardware brands. The hardware platform for the Home Automation software was Rasp-berry Pi 3 Model B.
As a result, the study concluded that there are a wide variety of needs and requirements in the IoT environment. Several different wireless solutions are needed to solve these. The selected commonly used ten different techniques from NFC to GNSS can address over 80% of different needs and requirements.
