Smarta hem är en snabbt växande marknad idag som blir allt mer populärt att använda för att underlätta vardagen. För människor som är rörelsehindrade kan dessa system vara till extra stor hjälp. Permobil är ett företag som tillverkar elektriska rullstolar och de arbetar ständigt med tekniklösningar som kan underlätta vardagen för deras kunder. Syftet med detta arbete var därför att undersöka hur Permobil kan hjälpa sina kunder genom att integrera sig mot smarta hem. Användarnas behov kring en smart hem-integration har undersökts med enkätfrågor, där responsen pekar på ett tydligt intresse hos användarna. Olika sätt att integrera dessa behov har undersökts där automationsramverket IFTTT verkar lämpa sig bäst i dagsläget och har därför använts för att ta fram en prototyp. Den slutgiltiga prototypen är en fullt fungerande integration mot IFTTT som kan ansluta en användares rullstol till tjänsten med information från Permobils API. / Smart homes is an ever growing market today and are being used to make everyday life a bit easier. For someone with a movement disability a smart home can be of extra great help. Permobil is a company that make powered wheelchairs and they are constantly working with new technology that can assist their customers further. The purpose of this project was to research how Permobil can help their customers by integrating their chairs towards smart homes. Permobils customers interest in a smart-home integration has been analyzed using survey questions, where the result points to a clear interest. After this different integration methods were looked at where the automation tool IFTTT seems to be the most suitable today and have been used to implement a prototype. The finished prototype is a fully working integration towards IFTTT that can connect a users chair to the service using information from Permobils API.

Integration platforms such as Zapier and IFTTT allow users to create custom flows that link events taking place in one application to an action that should occur in another. With the help of these platforms, people are able to automate work that would have otherwise required manual input. Thanks to this, the mundane tasks of everyday life can be delegated to computers while people are allowed to be more productive with their time. The question is, how exactly does Zapier and IFTTT implement these integration solutions, and how do they compare? From the perspective of a company that seeks to publish their application to the catalogues of these platforms, one would be interested in knowing what specific problems these platforms can solve, how they are solved, and how the solution can be evaluated. One theoretical framework that can be applied in order to answer all of these questions is known as enterprise integration. The problem is that an analysis of Zapier and IFTTT through the context of enterprise integration does not exist. The purpose of this thesis was to create this analysis. By doing so, companies would be able to make more informed decisions as to the selection and use of these technologies. Action research methodology was used to gather qualitative, inductive data, through the implementation of five smaller scale projects. Each of the projects was an investigation into a common type of problem that enterprise integration is typically used to solve. For each project, a set of criteria that were also taken from enterprise integration were used in order to evaluate the implementation’s strengths and weaknesses. A statement as to which of these platforms is better than the other was not found. However, similarities and differences between the two were able to be determined. The results indicated that Zapier’s strengths came mostly from the fact that it offers developers more freedom than IFTTT does, but that IFTTT had strengths that came from its ability to offer reliable delivery without compromise, and that it allowed developers to create better solutions in multiple scenarios. Findings like these were found and expressed through enterprise integration. / Integrationsplattformar såsom Zapier och IFTTT låter användare skapa sina egna skräddarsydda flöden som sammankopplar händelser som uppstår i en applikation till en aktion som ska ta plats i en annan. Med hjälp av dessa plattformar så kan folk automatisera arbete som annars hade krävt manuellt input. Tack vare detta så kan banala vardagsaktiviteter delegeras till datorer medan folk tillåts att vara mer produktiva med sin tid. Frågan är, hur exakt är Zapier och IFTTT:s lösningar implementerade, och hur jämförs dem med varandra? Från ett företags perspektiv som vill publicera sin applikation till dessa plattformars kataloger så skulle man vara intresserad av att veta vilka specifika problem dessa plattformar kan lösa, hur dem kan lösas, och hur lösningen kan utvärderas. Ett teoretiskt ramverk som kan appliceras för att svara på alla dessa frågor är enterprise integration. Problemet är att en analys av Zapier och IFTTT från kontexten av enterprise integration inte existerar. Syftet med denna uppsats var därför att skapa denna analys. Genom att göra detta så kan företag ta mer informerade beslut med avseende på hur de väljer och använder sig utav dessa teknologier. Aktionsforskning användes för att hämta kvalitativ, induktiv data, genom implementeringen utav fem mindre projekt. Varje projekt var en undersökning av ett typiskt problem som enterprise integration typiskt används till för att lösa. För varje projekt användes en uppsättning av kriterium som även dessa var tagna ur enterprise integration, för att bedöma implementeringens styrkor och svagheter. En slutsats om vilket av dessa plattformar som är bättre än det andra drogs inte. Likheter och skillnader kunde dock bestämmas. Resultaten indikerade att Zapiers styrkor mestadels kom från det faktum att dem ger utvecklare mer frihet än vad IFTTT gör, men att IFTTT hade styrkor som kom från det faktum att dem kunde erbjuda garanterad leverans utan kompromisser, och att utvecklare kunde skapa bättre lösningar i flera scenarion. Upptäckter som dessa kunde hittas och uttryckas genom enterprise integration.

This thesis focuses on the analysis of the information system of the selected company and the proposed changes. Based on the analysis of the current situation, changes have been proposed that should significantly benefit the evaluation of marketing campaigns and automation of business activities.

This thesis covers the theme of cloud integration platforms as a service with Ida Infronts information and task management system iipax one. The premise of this thesis is to research the most optimal cloud integration platform and find what cloud-based functions that are useful for iipax one. Using a cloud integration platform with iipax one could be beneficial for the users as it allows them to automate simple repetitive tasks. But choosing an integration platform is not a simple undertaking as there are many available platforms, all with their own unique features. To find a suitable platform first we investigated potential platforms which revealed Power Automate, Zapier and IFTTT as candidates. Our comparison based on a literature study showed that Power Automate is most suitable for iipax one. Finally, we created a prototype implementation to integrate iipax one with Power Automate. The conclusion is that Power Automate is the best suited platform for iipax one. Although Zapier is a close second. For the useful functions we concluded that it is more important with templates that users can adopt rather than a multitude of triggers and actions.

This master’s thesis deals with communication system design via the NFC and Wi-Fi interface. The thesis has two basic goals. The first goal is to create a device that is capable of storing of data and its subsequent transfer via the NFC interface. The second aim is to utilize this device for measuring various physical variables. The IoT technology is employed to fulfill the aforementioned goal. IoT technology is capable of visualizing data in real time and make them accessible via the Internet. The result of this work is an universal device, that contains the most popular communication interfaces, such as I2C, SPI and that is capable of processing measurement data from digital, analogue, and wireless sensors.
