Design of an Energy Efficient IOT Enabled Smart System based on Dali Network Over MQTT Protocol

Abstract

This project aims to harness the Internet of Things (IoT) to develop an energy-efficient network through the DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) protocol. The DALI network utilizes the MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol to provide robust security. We are employing compact, cost-effective controllers such as the Raspberry Pi, which can monitor sensor data and transmit it online. DALI is a state-of-the-art method for controlling electrical devices, and its integration with a web server or PC enhances the capabilities of a smart grid. The project involves overseeing a network of lighting fixtures with a Raspberry Pi as the controller and using MQTT for communication, thereby implementing IoT concepts seamlessly. Furthermore, web-based control methods are employed to manage various switching devices effectively.
