Sistema de automação para toldos: monitoramento e controle via aplicativo mobile

Abstract

Awnings are structures used to protect outdoor areas from direct exposure to sunlight and rain, which traditionally require manual operation, demanding time and physical effort. Automated awnings, on the other hand, utilize sensors and intelligent systems to automatically open or close according to weather conditions, providing greater convenience. This work consists of a prototype of an automated awning that employs Arduino technology combined with an ESP-01 module, a rain sensor, and the Internet of Things (IoT) via an Application Programming Interface (API) service that provides information about sunrise and sunset. The goal is to automate the opening and closing of the prototype based on weather conditions and user preferences, ensuring comfort and practicality. The adopted methodology is exploratory and qualitative, involving the careful selection of electronic and mechanical components, circuit modeling using Fritzing software, and the implementation of a mechanical reduction system composed of pulleys and gears, optimizing the prototype's efficiency. The results highlight the technical feasibility of the automated system and its potential for future innovations in the fields of home automation and IoT
