Dear Alexandre,
If you any questions or require clarifications regarding the project and
the proposal submission process, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Looking forward for the submission of your proposal.
Best Regards,

Hello Alexandre,
I am cc'ing my colleague, Dr. Konstantinos Panayiotou, who leads this
project. I have also included below the project description for
convenience.
*Brief Explanation
*Smart environments are becoming quite popular in the home setting
consisting of a broad range of connected devices. While offering a
novel set of possibilities, this also contributes to the complexity of
the environment, posing new challenges to allowing the full potential
of a sensorized home to be made available to users. SmAuto, is a
Domain Specific Language (DSL) that enables users to program complex
automation scenarios and pipelines, for connected IoT devices in smart
environments, that go beyond simple tasks. It was initially developed
by the ISSEL research team (AUTH) as textual DSL and later evolved
into a web-based low-code development environment. SmAuto lacks extra
features like utilization of external REST data sources, time delays,
semantic annotation, and accessing of in-house entities, etc., thus it
should be expanded in this direction. Furthermore, HomeAssistant would
benefit from the integration of a low-code approach for rapidly
developing and deploying automations, using the entities existing in a
smart environment.
*Expected Results
*• In the context of this project, we desire to expand the SmAuto DSL
with the following features: a) support the REST protocol, so as for
the automations to be able to access information from external data
sources, b) incorporate auxiliary concepts like Delay, Switches, or
Compute nodes, c) SmAuto integration in HA. The integration of SmAuto
and HomeAssistant should occur, by creating a new open-source HA
addon, where users will be able to design and deploy automations
graphically, using the SmAuto low-code environment.
Best,
Manos

Dear mentors,
My name is Alexandros Agrafiotis, and I am a 4th year student at
the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the
University of Thessaly, Volos. I am sending this email to express
my interest in the project *Expanding HassIO smart home
capabilities via low-code automation development.*
I've been working part-time as a Software Engineer at my
department's Network Implementation Testbed Laboratory (NITLab
<https://nitlab.inf.uth.gr/>), where I gained hands-on experience
with IoT technologies. My responsibilities included developing and
testing solutions using the MQTT protocol, configuring home
automation platforms such as Home Assistant and OpenHAB, and
deploying applications through Docker and containerized
environments. I am also currently working on a weather forecasting
project, which is relevant to the above technologies.
I would like to submit a compelling proposal, however I am having
a hard time estimating the difficulty of every deliverable. Would
the mentors be able to assist me in this task?
Kind regards,
Alexandros Agrafiotis
