Abstract
Shades have been used worldwide in different shapes and sizes. But they all share
the same problem which is immobility. However, in the 20th century the idea of
creating a movable roof was raised to meet the need of modern architectural
buildings that can be used for different occasions and purposes.
The project is aimed at creating a smart roof for buildings so it can be either opened
or closed with a combination of two types of shades, one for sun and the other for
rain.
The idea of the project stands for creating a roof that can be controlled remotely
through Wi-Fi network common between the microcontroller and the user’s
smartphone.
To make it possible, Arduino Uno and WeMo’s D1 have been used to control the
layers of the roof, and with the aid of other circuitry elements a simple prototype has
been built in order to clarify and give life for our nascent idea.
