Design and Implementation of an Internet-based Remote Controlled Temperature Controller

Abstract

The Internet is a telecommunications network for connecting a computer to any other computer anywhere in the world. It's approximately available in anywhere, so its accessibility is high and it's suitable to link industrial application over the grid. In this thesis a remote control system has been implemented to control a room temperature remotely through Internet by using client/server technique. The main purpose of the system is to remote control and monitor environmental parameter for example temperature degree. The system composed of two main parts, the first part is the Arduino control circuit which can be controlled through Internet. The second part is the software system which contains graphical user interfaces, which was linked with the Arduino control circuit which connected to Internet through the server computer. The server computer receives commands from the user computer to enable the user to control and monitor the room temperature. The overall power consumption is not high and can be spared by using rechargeable or portable voltage source, and the response time is considerably by the connection type and its speed.
