Smart House with JuliaBerry

Hardware and software scale model of a smart house that utilises the functions of a Raspberry Pi. It has several functions that could be transferred to a full-scale model using the same hardware.


This project is a miniaturised smart house that uses a Raspberry Pi and Julia to automatically run a small model home. This smart house uses a Raspberry Pi with a Sense HAT and Explorer HAT Pro to create several functions that could be used on a real house. This includes a motion sensor that opens a door; a photoresistor that turns lights on and off and a Sense HAT taking readings and scrolling through them on an LED matrix. All these are functions which are used on houses and have been scaled down using the Raspberry Pi and the Julia Language.

I’m 13 years old and have a great interest in programming. I started coding in Scratch when I was 9 years old but I now code in Python and Julia. I also presented a poster at JuliaCon 2018.
