Applying Observer and Strategy Patterns for Smart Home Security System and Climate Control

This unit focuses on two design patterns: Observer and Strategy. We'll use these patterns to enable responsive security and flexible climate control in our smart home system.

Quick Summary
  1. Observer Pattern:

    • Purpose: Allows an object (observer) to watch another (subject) and get notified of changes.
    • Steps:
      • Define a Subject with registration, unregistration, and notification methods (e.g., for a SecuritySystem).
      • Implement observers that react to changes (e.g., SecurityApp, SecurityLight).
  2. Strategy Pattern:

    • Purpose: Defines a family of algorithms and makes them interchangeable.
    • Steps:
      • Define a strategy interface with a method for the desired behavior (e.g., TemperatureControlStrategy for controlling temperature).
      • Implement specific strategies with concrete behavior (e.g., HeatingStrategy, CoolingStrategy).
