Abstract

This paper analyzes the reliability of a custom-made programmable thermostat using the Raspberry Pi miniature computer. The assembly uses RF sensors connected with thermistors in order to detect and send temperature information. The information is received by a base receiver connected to the GPIO port of the Raspberry board. Using a web framework and a simple algorithm, this allows elements such as a relay connected to the GPIO to be controlled via a web browser application. The proposed solution will be compared with one of the state-of-the-art devices in this field to expose the advantages of the approach.
