=Domos Project=
+
The domos project aims is to provide a global, low cost and open source solution for home automation.<br>
+
A first proposition can be found here: [http://www.armadeus.com/downloads/assos/domos.pdf]<br>
+
Three developpers are actually registered.
+
 
+
Subprojects:
+
* Endpoint / controller communication (LS_Link)
+
* Controller/controller/server communication (HS_Link)
+
 
+
==1. LS_Link==
+
===Zigbee===
+
A zigbee solution is foreseen for the wireless communication.<br>
+
A presentation concerning Zigbee can be found here: [http://www.armadeus.com/downloads/assos/zigbee_slides.pdf].<br>
+
This has to be evaluated.<br>
+
In order to be able to benefit from the complete Zigbee services, two Microchip ICs will be used (PIC18Fxx and the MRF) as the Zigbee stack is provided for free [http://www.armadeus.com/downloads/assos/domos_zigbee_stack.pdf].<br>
+
 
+
MRF24J40 Transceiver [http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/39776a.pdf]<br>
+
 
+
<strong>Next steps:</strong>
+
* 2 zigbee prototype boards with a PIC and the MRF. One will be used for the endpoint and the other will be connected to the APF through the RS232 (TTL) interface.
+
* Specification of the communication protocol between the APF and the endpoint (datagram based ?). Evalution of the actual solutions.
+
* Developpment of a small application on the APF side to communicate with the zigbee board by using the communication protocol previously defined.
+
* test of the Zigbee stack provided by Microchip. A simple program has to be written. Default Microchip environment has to be used.
+
 
+
===RS485===
+
Wirelless communication is the best way to connect Endpoints and controler. But sometimes wired connexion will be need for direct or faster access. We could considerate RS485 connexion.
+
With RS485 nom we can connect up to 32 controllers on one bus.
+
 
+
<strong>Next steps:</strong>
+
* APF with RS485 transceiver with a PIC and the same transceiver.
+
* Needs to connect APF to a RS485 bus : Linux driver developement? UART driver ?
+
* Schematics for connecting a pic to RS485 bus
+
* Specification of the communication protocol between APF and endpoint. Application protocol can be share with Zigbee high level protocol or, must we developped new protocol ?
+
* Developpment of a small application on the APF and on the PIC to test communication.
+
 
+
===Endpoint prototype board===
+
In order to develop and test endpoint protocols, a prototype board is under-developement. This board must allow connections between boards, PC to proto-board and APF to proto-board.
+
 
+
<strong>Hardware</strong>
+
* Microcontroller PIC 18FXXX
+
* Transceiver IEEE 802.15.4 (to implement the zigbee stack)
+
* Transceiver RS232 (to connect to APF or PC)
+
* Transceiver RS485
+
* USB connectors (and adaptor USB-RS232 if hardware choice)
+
* Buttons and LCD
+
=> A description of the hardware can be found here : .
+
 
+
<strong>Software</strong>
+
* Stack Zibgbee
+
* RS485 protocol to develop
+
* Program of test modes
+
* Stack USB (if PIC-USB and software choice)
+
 
+
==2. HS_Link==
+
 
+
This high level of the home automation allows transfer of large data packets like audio/video streams. It can be centralized by a main supervisor to configure more easily the whole network or access to other ways of communication like Internet or phone.
+

===Wired===

===Wireless===
