This paper presents the design and source code for
developing a home thermostat that connects to the internet and
uses other communication standards to create a product with
unique features. A software overview includes the use of Arduino
platform to develop the source code. HTML, JavaScript, and
CSS are used to develop the webpage. Arduino selection is used
due to low-cost nature of open-source hardware and software.
An Arduino Yun is used to connect to the internet and provide
information of the home environment to a webpage. A Mega is
used to control many serial communication devices to give the
product real-time local temperature and humidity and to display
that information to a LCD touchscreen. The hardware overview
shows the circuit schematics of individual circuits needed to
accomplish this project
