Nowadays, the capability of rapidly designing and prototyping, simple, yet real domotics systems (e.g., smart homes and smart buildings applications) is even more compelling, due to the availability and increasing spread of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Home automation services enable the remote monitoring of indoor environments and facilities. The main advantages include saving energy consumption and improving the overall management (and users' experience) in certain application domains. The pervasive adoption and diffusion of such remote monitoring solutions is hampered by the timing required for design, prototyping and further developing applications and underlying architecture, which must be often customized on the basis of specific domains' needs and involved entities. To cope with this issue, the paper proposes the analysis and prototyping of a domotics case study, in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of proper IoT?related tools in speeding up the testing phase. |
