Smart Home Lab
DSU students and faculty conduct smart home and energy-management research. Project space resembles a home kitchen, with smart lighting, window shades, speakers, kitchen appliances (refrigerator, stove, washer, dryer) and a wide array of sensors/monitors to make an engaging environment for researchers and guests to easily envision the practical applications.
Students are encouraged to develop new applications of connected home technologies and study the various protocols and configurations. At the same time, they can investigate considerations for security, privacy, and reliability.
We explore solutions for monitoring electrical usage, collecting data from heterogeneous sensors, and displaying information in configurable dashboards, though sensors and controllers in the lab to facilitate data collection and visualization.
