Desarrollo de una solución de hardware y software para el control automático de puertas de garage

Abstract

The objective of this project is to design a multiplatform application that controls a garage door, through the construction of a circuit that allows a WiFi connection using smartphones. To give a solve the project through the Agile Unified Process methodology, a Node MCU and an optocoupler relay were used in the circuit to connect the garage door motor to the Wi-Fi network to which it belongs. The Node MCU was programmed with various scripts which allow interaction through electrical signals between the garage motor and the mobile application. The software solution was designed in a user-friendly interface through block programming through the AppInventor and Thunkable platform, in this way the application can be accessed on any smartphone with an Android or iOS operating system. The results are generated based on several tests made to the system, a satisfaction survey was carried out to improve the application with respect to the user's opinion, obtaining a 90% satisfaction in handling the prototype. The application was tested on the different versions of iOS and Android operating systems, the most recent versions do not present problems, but the older versions prevent its installation or its operation is defective. During a month, tests of functionality and effectiveness were carried out with results of 96.77% functionality and 98% effectiveness. Once the solution is implemented, it allows an economic saving of 53.125% compared to prices in the current market in the country, in addition, thanks to the user-friendly and multiplatform mobile application, it allows any user with a smartphone to be able to interact with the system.
