This paper presents a cooperative project developed by a network of schools and company of different regions of Spain. The project consisted in the development of a home and building automation system for practical teaching in vocational training. The system is based on the Arduino platform to allow the easy development of new applications and hardware modules. This paper also presents the first experiences of practical use at schools. The project has been granted by the Spanish Ministry of Education.
