For my final project for Understanding Networks, I want to expand my midterm project and make a network that controls and monitors events in my apartment.

For the midterm I built a Restian web service for the input to and output from devices in my apartment. I then set up a wifi-enabled Arduino to send a simulated sensor report to the internet. For the final, my goal is to build the proposed system with multiple sensors, controllable outputs, and controller devices.

I propose that the next version include the following devices and be built for the easy adding or removal of devices.

• Sensors for light, temperature, and whether a door is open
• Control for my air conditioner, at least two lights, and a radio
• Two panels to control local objects
• A web interface to the system

With this basic network is in place, I hope to have the framework well-developed for easy expansion and scaling.
