Summary
The bachelor thesis focuses on a problem with an efficiency increase of a family house heating system with the use of remote control. The main target is to develop an own solution to the problem.
The theoretical part explores the existing and on market available solutions, their parameters as well as their drawbacks, and analyses crucial hardware and software components required for the own design. Based on the analysis, the practical part proposes and describes processes implemented throughout the solution development. The final design can manage the heating system through the usage of GSM and SMS commands from anywhere. A part of the proposal is the manufacturing of a printed circuit board which includes the entire installed solution and the 3D printed cover used as device protection and storage.
The key benefit of this project is to increase user-friendliness when managing and controlling the heating system and to reduce energy consumption. That is highly important especially nowadays in regards to the increasing energy prices. Moreover, the final solution enables the future development of the technology with extended improvements and upgrades.

Summary
This thesis analyses Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology and how this technology, which is now readily available to the end user, can be used to eavesdrop on common types of wireless sensors within the license-exempt/ISM bands. The analysis concerns devices operating in the European licence-exempt sub-GHz bands, specifically the 433 MHz and 868 MHz bands. These devices are mostly small battery powered home sensors. The security of such sensors and the possible safety risks associated with their use and security are discussed. Another point addressed in this thesis is to design and build a multi-platform eavesdropping application with small external dependencies for common sensor types using SDR technology based on the analysis of available technologies and already implemented projects. The specific application is based on a low-cost RTL-SDR V3 USB device hardware with RTL2832U chip from Realtek, which allows to capture radio transmissions and output IQ data that is processed in software. In the last stage, the application thus built is tested on physical sensors and evaluated, as well as the data obtained from the sensors are evaluated against what can be commonly obtained from manuals and freely available datasheets from the manufacturer.
