IoT based Home Automation
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryWe are going to develop a Smart Home based application which will help allow our users to control their home appliances with a mobile app and a wifi connection. Also, we have developed a security system with the help of facial recognition.
Project ObjectivesThe main objective of this project is to develop a home automation system using a Raspberry Pi as our microcontroller with Wifi being remotely controlled by any Android OS smart phone. As technology is advancing so houses are also getting smarter. Modern houses are gradually shifting from conventional switches to centralized control system, involving remote controlled switches.
Project Implementation MethodWe divided our implementation into two parts ie software implementation and harware implementation. Software implementation consisted of developing an app with Android Studio and securing the smart home by facial recognition system with python as our language.
Hardware implementation consisted of joining all the equipments with the raspberry pi and connect it with our android application.
Benefits of the ProjectThe benefits of home automation typically fall into a few categories, including savings, safety, convenience, and control. Additionally, some consumers purchase home automation for comfort and peace of mind.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableThe requirments for this project include mainly the raspberry pi as our controller. Also the sensors needed to alarm the users. Items like leds, resistors, motor etc were used.
