The objective of this study is for students to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in the other UPs of the Major. Students will need to deploy a network of nodes connected to a single gateway for communication to the cloud. Each node will be in charge of actuators (controllers, motors) and sensors (temperature, humidity, motion). These cyber-physical nodes will have to be fully operational in the sense of what will have been seen in the other UPs: serial and Bluetooth communications, data reliability, actuator effectiveness, energy efficiency. The gateway will have to interface properly in LoRa with an already operational computer network, which will allow the data collected to be processed and the actuators to be controlled.
| On completion of the unit, the student will be capable of: | Classification level | Priority |
