Main Controller Automation Devices Automation Devices Introduction • EZ-Access introduces a simple and secure way for students and faculty at Rutgers to control the environment around them. • From opening locked doors, to controlling the temperature, to altering students , EZ-Access provides a way for one to become more in charge of their Rutgers Experience. with any mobile device. • Hardware • Arduino Mega/Uno Microcontroller • Zbee Radios • Software • PHP • MySQL • HTML/CSS • Development Tools • Netbeans • Adobe Dreamweaver • Arduino Environment Framework Network Architecture Enhancements • The Users communicate with the server through either wired Rutgers Network or RU-Wireless. The main controllers have been provided with static IP’s, which allows them to be connected directly to the Rutgers Network. • The Main controllers communicate to the server via Rutgers network, and communicate with their attached devices via Zig-Bee. System Architecture • QR-Codes located at each automation device, redirects user to mobile site. • Sites have ability to store passwords. • Guest Twitter Access • Supervisors have ability to assign permission to other users. • Main Controller regularly updates devices status, and relays info to server. . • The EZ-Access architecture is essentially made up of series of main controllers all linking back to a centralized server, which acts as the decision maker. • The main controllers can be thought of all having control over their own little local network of devices, and main controller act as the moderators between the server and the automation devices. • Shown below is our project at a Local Scale: Lock LCD Light WINLAB
