Automatic address assigning problem in smart homes

A Home Automation System (HAuSy) is a system of hardware and software which extends the traditional smart home architecture with a middle layer to increase its security and robustness. One of the added features is an automatic addressing when a new node is added to the system. The process of addressing wired nodes is straightforward. However, problems arise when large amounts of wireless Bluetooth Low Energy nodes must be dealt with. There are limitations that come from the hardware side, due to having three layers of architecture. It can be described as an evaluated bipartite graph. A proposal for how to deal with the address assignment problem is presented and the best fit is selected for future implementation. It is shown that complete task automation is not possible, and user interventions will be necessary. Finally, the technology requirements for the software plugin features so as to allow comfortably solving the presented issues are described.
