Dear All,
I want to develop a Smart City Network System based on BBB. The applications which I want to built around this idea is Light Monitoring and Controlling System. Using the monitoring system one can remotely monitor the current status(light on/off/dim/flash, etc.) and maintenance condition (age, operating hours, etc.) of multiple outdoor luminaries and report the status as and when required via various means. Using the control system one can enable remote programming of lightning (on, off, dimming levels and intervals etc.) and how it adapts dynamically to time of a day, day of year, and local conditions such as ambient light, occupancy, and traffic level.
In order to achieve the above idea one would need three things and they are controllers, gateways and central management system(CMS).
The controllers can be used to manage sensors and actuators, the CMS can be used to store and retrieve the information and gateways which will interface between different controllers and the CMS.
