Abstract
Learn how to create a mobile application that controls a lamp using a smartphone. Discover the steps involved in developing a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and programming the algorithm for the control system. Explore the technology and actors involved in this manipulation.

[...] How to control a technical object with a mobile phone? Technology: There are three actors in such a manipulation, namely the controller the controlled object (technical object) and the control means (smartphone). In order for these different actors to interact, a link is needed. For the link between the control means and the actor, we speak of IHM (Human-Machine Interface). An IHM is in fact an interface (such as an application, for example) that allows a user to communicate with a machine in a simple way (since the computer only expresses itself in binary, i.e. [...]
[...] To visualize, we can take the example of a remote-controlled lamp. The actions to be performed are 'Turn off' and 'Turn on'. We can therefore imagine a mobile application with a button and move on to the algorithm which will then be: Function Appui_Bouton If light is on then turn off light If light is off then turn on light End Appui_Bouton It then remains to create a GUI with a button, equip the phone and a receiver linked to the lamp, install the program and use it.
