Abstract
El "Internet de las Cosas" (Internet of Things - IoT por sus siglas en inglés) es una tecnología en la que pequeños dispositivos electrónicos pueden conectarse a internet, permitiendo el desarrollo de nuevas aplicaciones y servicios. Recientemente, la aplicación de la tecnología IoT a sistemas de eficiencia energética ha despertado interés, sobre todo para el monitoreo de la eficiencia de sistemas en tiempo real. Este artículo presenta el diseño y desarrollo de ChuchusMOTE, un sistema de monitoreo energético y control domótico a través del uso de una red de sensores y actuadores inalámbricos, que utilizan el protocolo de comunicación asíncrono MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport) para el envío de datos y permite su visualización en tiempo real. Se desarrollaron módulos electrónicos implementados sobre la plataforma de desarrollo NodeMCU, una placa hardware inalámbrica que incluye módulos de comunicación compatible con el protocolo MQTT. El sistema ChuchusMOTE fue desplegado para monitorear en tiempo real variables energéticas de paneles solares (voltaje, corriente, potencia y energía generada), el consumo de energía eléctrica y estimar el consumo energético dentro del "Laboratorio de Energías Renovables" de la Universidad Privada Boliviana. Asimismo, ChuchusMOTE controla y automatiza el sistema de iluminación, calefacción solar y extracción de aire de dicho laboratorio.
The "Internet of Things" or simply IoT, is a technology where small electronic devices can be connected to the internet, allowing the development of new applications and services. Recently, applying IoT technology to energy efficiency systems has attracted interest, notably for real-time efficiency monitoring. In this article, we present the design and development of ChuchusMOTE, an energy monitoring and domotic control system, based on a network of wireless sensors and actuators communicating through MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport), an asynchronous protocol that is used to send data and enables real-time visualization. We implemented electronic modules based on NodeMCU, a wireless development board that includes communication modules that are compatible with the MQTT protocol. ChuchusMOTE was deployed to monitor in real-time energy variables of solar panels (voltage, current, power and generated energy), the consumption of electrical energy, and estimate the energy consumption of the "Renewable Energy Laboratory" at Universidad Privada Boliviana. Furthermore, ChuchusMOTE controls and automatize the lab's lightning, solar heating and air extraction systems.
