The goal of our thesis is to solve the problem of smart home appliances connectivity in the company Gorenje to the web, so they can be remotely controlled. We checked other companies’ solutions, and realized the need for a special solution. We wrote a program, which connects Raspberry Pi inside the smart home appliance, signal converter FTDI and cloud. Demands for our thesis are: the program works without a keyboard and mouse, and it starts at every reboot of Raspberry Pi. Data must be stored locally on SD memory card inside the Raspberry Pi and on the cloud. Data transfer must work both ways. Our solution is a prototype of a two-side data transfer from computer to cloud and from cloud through Raspberry Pi to our smart home appliance. The solution was already tested in the company.
