Design of SMART ALARM application using IOT elements

The topic of this diploma thesis is the creation of a Smart Alarm Clock that uses elements of the Internet of Things. First, the theoretical part identifies the key characteristics of the IoT field, its history, and traditional areas of use. Then, the reader is introduced to the important technological details of this field of science. All the theoretical knowledge from the first part of the paper has been capitalized in the practical part. The latter aims at designing a real solution of a Smart Alarm Clock, which consists of a physical station and a web application. First, the needs and problems that the smart device should solve are discussed, then a suitable solution is presented, and the implementation of both parts is performed. The method of the practical part of the thesis is Proof of concept, i.e. programming the application itself, building a prototype of the alarm clock, and then testing its functionality and intended benefits. The result is a broad theoretical foundation that introduces the reader to the Internet of Things, as well as a practical demonstration of creating an IoT solution from initial design to a working prototype. The solution is based on a web application written in Python using the Django framework and a Smart Alarm Clock prototype based on an Arduino Mega board and several connected sensors. The application automates the user's decision of when to get up based on information available from their calendar. The data measured by the alarm clock provides the basis for a prediction model that determines the tune with which the user is woken up. The application also provides the user with a clear management of information about individual measurements. The work shows that it is now possible to put a custom solution to the problem into practice even with a small acquisition cost.
