Movie Theater and Home Automation APP walkthrough

Sorry, I cant share the code for this yet, I'll have to clean it up some before I share it since a lot of stuff is hard coded and the App is custom design for my house and my needs. But I used Google App Inventor to write it, very simple.

can i download somewhere the android code to see how it works? :D

very nice project!

How do you control de temperature in the ac?

Please make a blog with your project and share with us

@viniciusspolo

THe temperature is controlled using an Arduino, TWO 220V Solidstate Relay, and a couple temperature sensor. The arduino read in the temperature, check the high and low, and turn on the heat or AC appropriately.

@vinhtvu2 Clever. So You just turn on and off the AC. You dont set the temperature in the AC, right?

@viniciusspolo

The unit in the room is just a standard Window Unit, it does have a thermostat built into it if I want to use it, but I bypassed the thermostat in the unit, and wired the ON/OFF for AC and HEAT both directly to Solid State relays, and then use the Arduino to read the temp from sensors instead, so it actually get a better temperature reading for the whole room instead of just wherever the sensor for the thermostat is.
