What is Ewetasker?

Nowadays we are surrounded by smart devices whose goal is to make our lives easier. However, the configuration and the adaptation of them to the users becomes a problem when the number of involved devices increase. For this reason, Ewetasker provides a task automation platform for controlling and configurating smart devices.

Ewetasker for users

Ewetasker web application provides an easy way to automate tasks in smart environments. Through its interface its is possible to parameterize the features of a smart device by creating channels following the EWE ontology. Channels define devices which can generate Events (sensors), provide Actions (actuators) or both. Once having the channels, Ewetasker allows users to create automation rules. This rules are defined as an “Event-Condition-Action” (ECA) rules. When they are triggered by an event, Ewetasker generates a response with the corresponding Action.

To make the most out of Ewetasker, its neccesary to install the Ewetasker Android App. It allows to manage events and actions of channels like Bluetooth, WiFi or Presence. This smartphone application is available in Google Play store.

In this documentation we are going to introduce this framework, detailing the global architecture of the project and explaining each module functionality. Finally, we will make a tutorial to know its working and its functions since the installation until using it. A demo video about Ewetasker is available here.
