Building a Smart Thermostat Part 2

This is part 2 of the Smart Thermostat project. In part 2 we add the following features to our thermostat design:

  • Bluetooth control so the thermostat can be controlled remotely so you can control the temperature of your home from the comfort of your couch or bed
  • Mount the project so it is in a much more usable and aesthetically pleasing form then the prototype form it we saw in part 1
  • A power save mode to cut down on the utility costs 

In part three we will create the Android app and add a power supply to run it off of the 24 VAC signal coming from the HVAC system. To download the Arduino code follow the GitHub link below. Please share your comments!

Building a Smart Thermostat Part 1

In this project we will build a smart thermostat with features such as high accuracy temperature measurements, customized user interface, and, best of all, wireless control from an Android device. Since this is a big project it will be presented in three parts. This is part one where we will cover the basic design and get to a working prototype. To download the Arduino code follow the GitHub link below. Please share your comments!
