A Smart Home Visualization Tool

Abstract

Smart homes are becoming increasingly popular, and the demand for visualization in Demonstrations and daily use needs to be put on the agenda to be met. Products produced by different manufacturers use different software management for retail smart home products, often not including the visualization function. Therefore, whether for retail smart home devices or DIY smart home devices, we need a solution to connect each device and provide a visualization function to tell users what is happening in their homes. This project provides a design direction and a solution to track the direction, trajectory, position, and posture of people in the house through the information sent by smart home devices and reflect the position of people in the house in a 3D scene that is easy to personalize. In addition to the 3D scene, this project also includes a background control panel that can view the status of people in the house, record data, and provide early warning. This project contains and implements a Unity engine visualization tool, a bridge server using the NodeJS platform, and a web-based demonstration and maintenance tool. This project can be used for smart home setup testing and demonstration, personal smart home management, or in the assistance home with smart home devices installed for nursing. In the visualization software, the user can receive an alarm when the people in the house may encounter help.
