PowerMeter

Faire: Rome

Maker: Powermeter Srls

 

Powermeter has developed smart meter devices for monitoring electricity production and consumption in real time The presentation project of the PowerMeter device for energy communities is ambitious and aims to offer an effective solution for monitoring and managing energy within these ever-growing communities. The PowerMeter device, already appreciated by individual users for monitoring electricity consumption, is now proposed as a valuable resource for energy communities. These communities, often characterized by decentralized production of energy from renewable sources such as solar or wind farms, require an efficient monitoring system to maximize self-consumption and sharing of the energy produced. The presentation of the PowerMeter device for energy communities focuses on three key points. Firstly, real-time monitoring of energy production and consumption by each member of the community. Thanks to PowerMeter, each user will have immediate and detailed access to information on their own energy production and consumption, allowing for more informed and efficient management. Secondly, the PowerMeter device offers the possibility to monitor the energy bought and sold within the community. This makes it possible to establish a precise energy balance, facilitating the fair and transparent sharing of the energy produced among the members of the community. Finally, the presentation project underlines the importance of intuitive visualization of energy data through the dedicated app. PowerMeter provides a comprehensive and understandable overview of energy flows, with clear graphs and statistics that allow for easy interpretation and optimal energy management. Through this presentation, PowerMeter aims to become the ideal partner for energy communities, providing an advanced, easy-to-use monitoring solution capable of supporting intelligent and sustainable management of shared energy.

Apertura ad Impulsi Programmati di più Accessi Condominiali

Faire: Rome

Maker: Giuseppe Bonanno

 

Invention applicable to intercom systems with two or more "electric door units". The entrance to a condominium has two push-button panels, the visitor must ring the first time outside, wait for it to open and go to the second access to ring the second time, the condominium must wait for the time lapse between the first and second being able to move away from the intercom, the patent intends to provide the condominium with the possibility of eliminating this useless waiting time. The device is designed to be connected to the "door speaker" of any door phone system with two or more electric locks without making any changes to it.

Sedia a rotelle elettrica per tetraplegici

Faire: Rome

Maker: IIS Tito Sarrocchi

 

In the 2022-2023 school year, the students of class IV and V of the Electronic Robotics specialization allowed tetraplegic people, i.e., person with inability to voluntarily move the upper and lower parts of the body, to move independently and using the residual mobility of the head. An Arduino NANO 33 BLE and an inertial sensor present on board allow to intercept the movements of the head and, through the Bluetooth module, the information of the head movements is delivered to a self-built Master board and subsequently, through the DAC, the voltages are created to run the engines. Moreover, a set of sensors on the perimeter of the wheelchair avoids obstacles and a LIDAR sensor helps reconstruct the surrounding environment.

BR – Un bracciale per controllare il mondo

Faire: Rome

Maker: Agnello Pepe

 

IL BR is a simple wearable device that allows you to control your PC and beyond by simply moving a hand. The device recognizes the acceleration produced by movement and compares it with user-selected and fully customizable "trigger" values, so as to simulate pressing a key on the keyboard, to control various aspects of your PC, to scroll through a presentation smoothly and much more. Thanks to the Internet connection, the BR can connect to very distant devices (such as drones, radio-controlled cars and much more) and control them remotely thanks to the acceleration produced by the user. The presence of a rechargeable battery allows uninterrupted use for over 4 hours. The case like the strap are totally 3D printed so as to be light and suitable for any user. The BR is supported by a PC interface that allows you to fully customize any aspect of the device. Like “trigger” accelerations, simulated keystrokes and much more. Furthermore, once the interface is closed after connecting the device, the BR will continue to work in the background allowing for simple and fluid use.

Open IoT

Faire: Rome

Maker: Christian Iannella

 

Open IoT is my idea of ​​home automation. This project wants to give hobbyists and professionals the possibility to create their own home automation system, providing them with IoT devices that are as compact as possible and Arduino compatible. All strictly open-source and open-hardware. Domotica open wants to offer the flexibility of an Arduino board with Wi-Fi connectivity in a ready-to-use device, the devices already available are Wi-Fi Relay, Wi-Fi Encoder, Wi-Fi T/H Sensor and Wi-Fi LED Driver -Fi. The devices are equipped with ESP32/ESP8266 which makes them extremely powerful, versatile and compatible with a wide range of tools such as the Arduino ecosystem, HomeAssistant etc. As already mentioned, these devices are ready for use, i.e. they are equipped with an on-board power supply which makes them suitable for connection to a domestic system with a form factor which allows them to be installed in common flush-mounting boxes. With a special USB adapter it is possible to load your own firmware via Arduino IDE, PlatformIO etc. in order to adapt the device to the most varied needs.

EUREKA! : “Datemi un filo immerso in un liquido, dall’alto verso il basso, e vi indicherò il livello”

Faire: Rome

Maker: Giuseppe Fiordaliso

 

The peculiarity of this project is that it allows the measurement of the water level in all those sectors where industrial-type measuring devices are unacceptable both for the costs and for the skills required for implementation. This level measuring device uses a common insulated conductor immersed in water as a measurement probe. It consists of two parts: measuring probe with measuring electronics and microprocessor control unit. The two parts are connected via a non-polarized two-wire connection in order to simplify installation operations. The probe, of the capacitive type, consists of a simple insulated conductor wire, and can be made at a low cost and can be easily adapted by the user to his needs. The measuring range of the device goes from a few tens of centimeters to several meters without requiring particular additional components or specific components for the type of application. The measuring unit based on a microcontroller receives a digital current signal from the measuring probe and according to the settings made in the "user calibration" phase for the "empty" level and the "full" level, displays the value on a display of the level measurement in the range 0...100 %. The microprocessor also controls an output relay in correspondence with two level thresholds (low level setpoint and high level setpoint) freely settable by the user in the range 0…100% through a simple programming procedure. In the programming phase it is possible to choose whether the energized relay state must correspond to a level below the low level threshold or to a level above the high level threshold. In this way it is possible to operate an external device, always in safe conditions. The measurement has an accuracy better than 6% and is characterized by high reliability because there are no metal parts in contact with water or moving parts.
