A Campus Equipment Controller Using an IoT System that Can Configure and Control its Edge Devices Behind a NAT Using Wiki Pages on the Internet

Abstract

This paper describes the development of an electric appliance controller using an IoT system. The IoT system can configure and control its edge devices which are placed behind a Network Address Translator (NAT) using Wiki pages. These operations were realized by Bot Computing, a framework for Internet of Things (IoT). Any electric appliance can be controlled using the combination of Bot Computing and edge devices with an Infra-Red (IR) transmitter, if the appliance has the IR remote controlled function. We can program the power on/off time of any electric appliances, by writing a script on a Wiki page on the Internet, using Bot Computing. We can change the program anytime, anywhere. We also can control turning on or off the appliance anytime, anywhere.
