Project Objectives

The main object of this project is to implement a low cost and reliable home automation system, that can be used to control any household appliance using smart phones. It made our lives easier, save the time and will meet the upcoming generation’s technology.

These days home and building computerization frameworks are utilized to an ever-increasing extent. From one viewpoint, they give expanded solace particularly when utilized in a private home. Then again, robotization frameworks introduced in business structures do not just expand comfort, yet additionally permit unified control of warming, ventilation, cool and lighting. Subsequently, they add to a general cost decrease and furthermore to energy sparing which is unquestionably a principle issue today. Existing, entrenched frameworks depend on wired correspondence. Utilizing a customary wired robotization framework does not represent an issue if the framework is arranged previously and introduced during the actual development of the structure. Assuming, in any case, previously existing structures ought to be increased with robotization frameworks, this requires a lot of exertion and mush cost since cabling is essential. Clearly, remote frameworks can come to help here. In the previous hardly any years, remote advances arrived at their achievement. Remote based frameworks, utilized each day and all over, range from remote home organizations and cell phones to carport entryway openers.

Home security or home mechanization can be accomplished by embracing focal regulators to control home gadgets or apparatuses that sense various factors utilizing proper sensors. The primary part of such a framework is a tangible framework that gathers the boundary data like temperature, fire, human presence, gas, and so on, and sends the comparing information to the microcontroller or some other processor. This regulator is customized with the end goal that when these boundaries cross their recommended limits, it imparts the order signs to different last controlling gadgets like transfers and ringer gadgets. It comprises of different sensors like IR sensors for recognizing human presence to open or close the entryways; LPG gas sensor to distinguish the gas spillage in kitchens – and, a smoke alarm to identify the presence of fire. It is additionally conceivable to add temperature sensor, camera and other detecting gadgets for improving the security of homes.

Project Implementation Method

The implementation of three modules within an IoT based network, which provides a framework within which nodes can be added or removed with only little additional configuration. In each of the three system modules, a micro-controller is used to acquire values of physical conditions through sensors connected to it. The Arduino IDE was used for programming each module (slave nodes) and for programming the master node. The remainder of this section details each module in turn.

Security Monitoring Module
The idea of the security-monitoring module is to monitor the
entry-points using ultrasonic sensors to measure the distance
from approaching objects and connect it with a microcontroller that displays the object-proximity (distance from the sensor) of an arriving object on the computer/mobile interface before triggering an alert using Bluetooth in the case of an object bypassing the entry-point. Additionally, the subsystem discussed here allows the user to specify the distance from the sensor before an alert is triggered. This allows for increased system flexibility.

Energy/Power Usage Monitoring Module
Increased user awareness of the energy/power usage is achieved with this module, by using a current sensor and microcontroller connected to an Ethernet module for providing Internet connectivity. Power consumption (in Watts) is displayed on the user-interface, with alerts being raised when power consumption exceeds a user-defined threshold.

Safety Monitoring Module
The idea of the safety-monitoring module is to monitor the
safety of the premise using four sensors to detect the leakage of gas, smoke, water leakage and fire. The sensors are connected to an Arduino microcontroller, which gathers and processes the data, before communicating the results to the web-server that displays the results on the system webpage.
