Project Presentation
Name : Connected Aquarium
Group Composition :
- Hong Jin hong.jin@etu.unice.fr
- Nizar Boussarsar nizar.boussarsar@etu.unice.fr
- Raed Chammam raed.chammam@etu.unice.fr
Scenario :
- The user configures the aquarium via a web interface and sets the coordinates of the location that they want to simulate.
- The aquarium fetches temperature and light data from different web-services and adjusts the local ecosystem accordingly.
- When a user scans a fish's package RFID tag with the aquarium reader, the aquarium fetches different environmental data about the fish and informs the user about its compatibility with the local ecosystem.

Specifications and interface of the service on the object
The different pieces of data we are going to utilize in our project are:
- Water temperature
- Sun/Moon brightness
This data will be fetched from different web-services according to the environment the aquarium is simulating. We also implemented a service that would allow the override of these values using an UPnP Service.

Note : (including a figure on the orchestration between services on objects and information systems)
Project Files:
3D Model
Illustrative model file.
Panel and API (Node.js)
Source code (to be deployed on remote server): aqua-server. For our demo we have used Heroku as a hosting/deployment server. But any SailsJS compatible environment would work.
Python scripts on the embedded object
These scripts are executed either on startup or via a cron task : aqua-scripts
- The scripts under the directory `startups` are executed on every startup of the device.
- The scripts under the directory `crons` are executed on regular intervals.
The source code of the UPnP device
UPnP Aquarium This is a VisualStudio project, just open and build it to get the .exe and .DLL files.
. wcc of the container on the computer:
The picture below is a simple use-case scenario where we interact the Aquarium with a virtual UPnP enabled lamp.
Chesklist to install the embedded service on the object
- Install mono-complete package
- Install Python module (requests,logging)
- Set-up the startup and repetitive tasks (inittab & cron)
- Reboot the device
Chesklist to install the remote service/application on the PC
- Have Node.js, PostgreSQL and SailsJS installed.
- Open the directory.
- Run command “npm install”
- Run command “sails lift”
- Check localhsot:1337
Results of the relations with Reims (being factual without personal opinion)
- We have received the LED and its Driver as promised (with a bit of delay).
- We did not receive the aquarium.
Prospects :
Possible extensions of the object
Add a number of sensors/actuators such as a light-sensor, a cooling-fan, water-changer..
Possible extension of the service o the Object
- Local web-server.
- Local UPnP activation/deactivation.
Possible extension of the high added value Service
- UPnP devices authorization instead/(besides) remote activation/deactivation.
