This paper presents radio frequency identification (RFID) based prepaid energy meter and home automation system with an android application running at subscriber's mobile station. The energy meter is credited though RFID technology and the automation of different appliances are controlled by the subscriber via an android mobile application. The subscribers may check their current credit, consumed...
Generally, remote control of electric motors consists in commands for operation using two main methods, wireless and wired. Wired remote control implies a dedicated path for low voltage signals separated from the power line. The increased cost of copper wire and the problems caused by the cable routing between the control unit and the motor led to the solution of control over power line. In home automation,...
Automation and devices that make daily activities easier are increasingly apparent in today's society. The ability to walk into a room, verbally output what it is that you want done around you, or have it recited back to you at another time is something that should be seen as normal with the technology that is readily available. This design is ultimately going to bring a natural, human action, and...
Smart home is a house that uses Internet of Things(IoT) to monitor the environment, control the electric appliances and communicate with the outer world. Smart home is a complex technology, but a developing one. A smart home automation system has been developed primarily because in today's time and world, everybody's in a surge and wishes to screen and get to everything without being there physically...
The purpose of this study is to showcase the design and development of a web-enabled home automation system prototype. The unit was developed using low-cost components such as the ubiquitous Arduino microcontroller. One of the features of the developed unit is the ability to monitor the power consumed by electrical loads. The unit also has the ability to control the status of individual loads through...
Here we have successfully implemented Voice activated intelligent system for elderly and physically challenged people to make them more self-dependent. This is a major breakthrough in automation technology. The prototype developed using energia tool is capable of controlling electrical devices in a home or office. This is mainly targeted to elderly and disabled people. The system incorporates automatic...
One of the most important problems in home automation is dedicated to reducing energy consumption. Different methods have been proposed which are mostly aiming for low-costs approaches. This paper offers a low-cost solution based on STM32F407 microcontroller. The solution has been implemented on a house situated in a four-season geographical area. The obtained results are extremely promising, indicating...
Locked-in syndrome is known to be a condition in which a patient loses the ability to control nearly all voluntary muscles in the body except for the eye. In today's world, healthcare facilities have the means and equipment necessary to help such patients and take care of their needs, which includes medical care and patient comfort. However, such dedicated professional services are not commonly provided...
This paper represents a reliable, compact, fast and low cost smart home automation system, based on Arduino (microcontroller) and Android app. Bluetooth chip has been used with Arduino, thus eliminating the use of personal computers (PCs). Various devices such as lights, DC Servomotors have been incorporated in the designed system to demonstrate the feasibility, reliability and quick operation of...
Companies producing consumer products have begun working on ways to control their products over the IP (Internet Protocol). The main feature provided by the already-existing home automation systems is that, every piece of equipment integrated is to be controlled by a central control system unit. Centralized solution based on this idea are very expensive, difficult to configure and more prone to problems...
Now a days mobile phone has become a part of our daily life. Due to low cost of mobile phones, mobile phones are widely used for home automation. In this paper a remotely operated mobile phone controlled home appliances system is proposed. It is a DTMF (dual- tone multiple-frequency) based system consists of two mobile phones, DTMF decoder and ATmega8 microcontroller. One mobile phone is used as remote...
This paper outlines the development of a remote monitoring system for deadlocks; in the aim of improving peace of mind, and adding an extra layer of security at a low cost. The literature research covers the flaws and commonalities of door security, explores different wireless protocols, passive sensors, and microcontroller to internet interface strategies. The development then goes through the mechanical,...
In this paper, we propose a framework for developing a home automation system based on an IPv6 personal area network protocol -- the 6LoWPAN. The proposed framework supports various kinds of end-devices. It provides the ability to remotely control the end-devices over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). It is able to automatically perform the appropriate actions based on user-predefined scenarios. The most...
Capabilities of the devices installed in a smart home are often fully accessible only to qualified integrators. As the users become more interested in setting up their home automation devices by their own, there is a need to bridge the gap between the magnitude of possibilities offered by home automation devices and the limitations of the methods accessible to the user. This paper proposes an event-based...
Home automation systems aim to control all home activities and functionalities. Control can be done through a remote control that sends command signals wirelessly by means of infrared radiation, Bluetooth connectivity, or any other RF technology as well as via internet or GSM communication. The controlled target devices usually include domestic appliances, security and safety systems, HVAC systems,...
Intelligent embedded systems become more and more widespread. Especially in the field of smart environments, such as smart homes, the systems are communicating with each other. If wireless communication is used, security becomes important. This paper explores to what extent salted hashes might be used on tiny embedded systems to provide message authentication. To this end, this paper uses two very...
Smart homes have emerged as an area of research interest in recent years. Home automation offers us independence and complete control over your home along with a fine designed intelligent architecture which could control your home in your absence in an efficient manner. In the recent years all the implemented techniques have not realized the Intelligent Home design in all quality aspects since every...
In this paper a home automation system which brings new elements to existing similar systems is presented. These elements relate to continuous monitoring of comfort level, the weather conditions and temperature of an object by thermal radiation and detection the approaching of a storm with lightning activity. When the comfort level is dangerous, temperature of monitored object is outside predetermined...
This is our prototype for a smart switchboard in the home automation domain. Unlike normal switchboards, each socket on the switchboard is designated as a function (light, fan, and power) and is controlled by a microcontroller, which receives inputs from analog temperature and light sensors. This smart switchboard helps in collecting data about the surroundings, and stores and analyzes the data to...
