Urgency of the research. The expansion of smart home systems is slower than was expected. One of the biggest obstacles to the mass expansion of smart homes is the high price of devices commonly available on the market. Home automation is not sufficiently widespread among people, not only for the high price, but also because the available systems do not meet users' perceptions of how they should work and also due to users' fear of security risks. For these reasons, when designing a new smart home system, it is a good idea to perform the initial testing on the model. Target setting. Our goal was to design a model of the original low-cost smart home system, which would allow testing, tuning, and refinement of the home automation system before it is put into use. Such a model could also be used in the learning process, while students can test the proposed smart home systems on the model. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. When designing the model and preparing this paper, we took into ac-count both current sources – publications and papers dealing with the current state of smart home systems as well as existing smart home solutions, which are widely available on the market. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The implementation of the proposed model into real-life operation was not realized during the research for this paper. The research objective. The goal of the research was to model a low-cost, reliable, smart home system. The statement of basic materials. For effective research and solution of the task of smart home system is important to create adequate model, which copies a real smart home. For our solution we used a tiny and affordable computer Raspberry Pi3, which was connected through GPIO to external sensors for light, temperature etc., operation was performed in the Python programming language and for the creation of user interface was used Cayenne platform for Android-operated smartphones.

With the increasing availability of affordable open-source embedded hardware platforms, the development of low-cost programmable devices for uncountable tasks has accelerated in recent years. In this sense, the large development community that is being created around popular platforms is also contributing to the construction of Internet of Things applications, which can ultimately support the maturation of the smart-cities era. Popular platforms such as Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard and Arduino come as single-board open-source platforms that have enough computational power for different types of smart-city applications, while keeping affordable prices and encompassing many programming libraries and useful hardware extensions. As a result, smart-city solutions based on such platforms are becoming common and the surveying of recent research in this area can support a better understanding of this scenario, as presented in this article. Moreover, discussions about the continuous developments in these platforms can also indicate promising perspectives when using these boards as key elements to build smart cities.

Efforts toward optimized building management and operation require monitoring data from multiple sources. Experiences from previous research projects underline the need for an easily adaptable, low-cost, and easy to set up monitoring infrastructure that could provide data for modeling and performance evaluation. The increasing availability of small and powerful development boards (e.g. Raspberry Pi BeagleBoard or Arduino) facilitates the implementation of a cost-efficient infrastructure for data collection and building monitoring. For the purpose of the present contribution, the Arduino Yún was used to create a data logger that obtains data from wireless sensors, stores it locally, and syncs it with a data repository. Toward this end, we have developed a web-based user interface that enables the user to evaluate various aspects of the monitored building's performance. The communication between the software components is implemented via RESTful interfaces and enables the user to integrate also other data sources such as web services. The paper includes an actual implementation of the above approach. Thereby, we illustrate how the constitutive system components can be integrated in terms of a versatile monitoring system with multiple utilities in terms of building performance assessment and building diagnostics.

This paper presents preliminary tests of a new low-cost photogrammetric system for 4D modelling of large scale areas for civil engineering applications. The system consists of five stand-alone units. Each of the units is composed of a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B (RPi2B) single board computer connected to a PiCamera Module V2 (8 MP) and is powered by a 10 W solar panel. The acquisition of the images is performed automatically using Python scripts and the OpenCV library. Images are recorded at different times during the day and automatically uploaded onto a FTP server from where they can be accessed for processing. Preliminary tests and outcomes of the system are discussed in detail. The focus is on the performance assessment of the low-cost sensor and the quality evaluation of the digital surface models generated by the low-cost photogrammetric systems in the field under real test conditions. Two different test cases were set up in order to calibrate the low-cost photogrammetric system and to assess its performance. First comparisons with a TLS model show a good agreement.
