Abstract |
Our project Test automation tool for smart switches is concerned about software tools. Which is used to know about the specific hardware device (switches and dimmers) by using adapters i.e. build in interface. We connect our adapter to the external hardware device and make connection between external hardware and our software tool. An adapter is an intermediate interface which extracts data which is needed for developer. Once the connection got established the developer can access all information about the hardware device like serial no, port no, temperature etc. Developer can add new products like switches, dimmers and add the description about the particular products. The switches are made using sensors called capacitive touch sensors .This capacitive touch sensors functions as wheels, buttons and sliders. It supports self-capacitance and mutual measurement without any help of external hardware. Capacitive touch sensors give good sensitivity and self-calibration and increase the tuning efficiency of user. The sensors are connected to the analog charge integrator of the capacitive touch sensors using the device input output pins. Once the connection has been done the user can access all the information about particular external hardware device. When our software is connected with the an hardware device like ex: switches or dimmers It gives the count that number of times the switch was on and off and also it gives the information like to what period of time the switch was on. Our switches and dimmers are connected through a router or gateway .The switches and dimmers are reinvented with a high scope which are of having capacitive touch sensors, these switches and dimmers which gives rich user interface. Only admin can add the products and he can give the description about the products like switch id, switch type dimmer id, dimmer type, connectivity type and the description about each products. Any end user can retrieve the information of the switches and dimmers. The information would be like type of switch, switch id and end-user can also know the temperature of the room for every five minutes and where the switches and dimmers are located by using the port number. And these switches and dimmers are made with wide range of backlit icons wand designs are exquisite. Our switches and dimmers are loaded with and without connectivity options like Zigbee,Zwave,WIFI,Bluetooth.so that user can operate these switches and dimmers from anywhere in the home. |
