Barrett

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is term used to refer to the billions of Internet connected, embedded devices that communicate with one another with the purpose of sharing data or performing actions. One of the core usages of the proverbial network is the ability for its devices and services to interact with one another to automate daily tasks and routines. For example, IoT devices are often used to automate tasks within the household, such as turning the lights on/off or starting the coffee pot. However, designing a modular system to create and schedule these routines is a difficult task.

Current IoT integration utilities attempt to help simplify this task, but most fail to satisfy one of the requirements many users want in such a system ‒ simplified integration with third party devices. This project seeks to solve this issue through the creation of an easily extendable, modular integrating utility. It is open-source and does not require the use of a cloud-based server, with users hosting the server themselves. With a server and data controller implemented in pure Python and a library for embedded ESP8266 microcontroller-powered devices, the solution seeks to satisfy both casual users as well as those interested in developing their own integrations.
