Abstract

Domotics as a branch of automation has achieved remarkable advances in recent years, due to the enormous development of telecommunications that has allowed improving and complementing services of this type of solutions. It is necessary in the electronic engineering programs of the universities, to develop methods and strategies that facilitate the teaching of these subjects in a practical way, so that the student learns by doing. This article describes the development of a didactic dashboard for the teaching of domotics; integrated by sensors, actuators and a computer control interface to facilitate the execution of laboratory practices aimed at solving problems of comfort, safety and energy management at home in an interactive way. In order to verify the usefulness of the domotic dashboard in the teaching-learning process, a survey was applied to a group of teachers and students in Universidad de la Costa in Barranquilla, Colombia, showing that the board can become a useful resource for domotics learning.
