Development of a First Prototype for Low-Cost Kit for DLCs Design

This paper aims to present the development of a first prototype of a kit to improve the performance of the daylight control system during design, operating and post-commission steps: HW/SW components, procedures, and tools for the management of the control systems. In particular, these systems aim to support professionals in correctly designing, installing, commissioning, and post-monitoring lighting control systems using artificial intelligence techniques. Moreover, the design and development of the data acquisition system using an Arduino Uno WiFi with TSL2591 and its programming environment, with its variant of the C++ programming language, was utilized to acquire data from the sensors. The acquired data, were processed and transmitted to an online MySQL database. Furthermore, this paper presents the study that was conducted in order to develop the “box” of the prototype. Finally, the first measurement campaign is reported.
