INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTERNET OF THINGS

The Internet of things is the network of physical devices, vehicles, home
appliances, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators,
and network connectivity which enable these objects to collect and exchange data.
Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able
to inter operate within the existing Internet infrastructure.
The IoT allows objects to be sensed or controlled remotely across existing
network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration of the
physical world into computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency,
accuracy and economic benefit in addition to reduced human intervention.
When IoT is augmented with sensors and actuators, the technology becomes
an instance of the more general class of cyberphysical systems, which also
encompasses technologies such as smart grids, virtual power plants, smart homes,
intelligent transportation and smart cities.

1.1.1 Things under Control

"Things", in the IoT sense, can refer to a wide variety of devices such as heart
monitoring implants, biochip transponders on farm animals, cameras streaming live
feeds of wild animals in coastal waters, automobiles with built-in sensors, DNA
analysis devices for environmental,food,pathogen monitoring, or field operation
devices that assist firefighters in search and rescue operations. Legal scholars suggest
regarding "things" as an "inextricable mixture of hardware, software, data and
service".
 2

1.1.2 Application of Internet of Things

Internet of Things is widely used in industry and home and everywhere around
the world. The quick expansion of Internet-connected objects is also expected to
generate large amounts of data from diverse locations, with the consequent necessity
for quick aggregation of the data, and an increase in the need to index, store, and
process such data more effectively.
 Smart homes
 Wearables
 Smart city
 Smart grid
 Smart farming
 Industrial monitoring

1.2 OVERVIEW OF HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM

Homes of the 21st century will become more and more self-controlled and
automated to the comfort it provides, especially when employed in a private home. A
home automation system is a means that allow users to control electric appliances of
varying kind.
Many existing, well-established home automation systems are based on wired
communication. This does not pose a problem until the system is planned well in
advance and installed during the physical construction of the building. Butfor already
existing buildings the implementation cost goes very high.
In contrast, Wireless systems can be of great help for automation systems.
With the advancement of wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, cloud networks in the
recent past, wireless systems are used every day and everywhere.
Home automation involves introducing a degree of computerized or automatic control
to certain electrical and electronics system in a building. The lighting, temperature
control, gas monitoring, motor control demonstrate a simple home automation system
which contains a remote mobile host controlled several client module (home
appliances). The client modules communicate with host controllers through a wireless
devices such as a Wi-Fi enabled mobile phone, in this case android based smart
phones.

1.2.1 Advantages of Home Automation Systems

In recent years, wireless systems like Wi-Fi have become more and more
common in home networking. Also in home and building automation systems, the use
of wireless technologies gives several advantages that could not be achieved using a
wired network only.
 Reduced installation costs
First and foremost, installation costs are significantly reduced since no
cabling is necessary. Wired solutions require cabling, where material as well as the
professional laying of cables (e.g. into walls) is expensive.
 System scalability and easy extension
Deploying a wireless network is especially advantageous when, due to
new or changed requirements, extension of the network is necessary. In contrast to
wired installations, in which cabling extension is tedious. This makes wireless
installations a seminal investment.
 Aesthetical benefits
Apart from covering a larger area, this attribute helps to full aesthetical
requirements as well. Examples include representative buildings with all-glass
architecture and historical buildings where design or conservatory reasons do not
allow laying of cables.
 Integration of mobile devices
With wireless networks, associating mobile devices such as PDAs and
Smartphones with the automation system becomes possible everywhere and at any
time, as a device's exact physical location is no longer crucial for a connection.
For all these reasons, wireless technology is not only an attractive
choice in renovation and refurbishment, but also for new installations.

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 INTRODUCTION
 5

Automation performs an increasingly vital role in daily experience and global

economy. Engineers strive to combine automated devices with mathematical and
organizational tools to create complex systems for a rapidly expanding range of
applications and human activities. The concept of home automation has been around
since the late 1970s. But with the enhancement of technology and smart services,
people’s expectations have changed a lot during the course of time to perfectly turn
the traditional house into smart home, and also think that what a home should do or
how the services should be provided and accessed at home to became a smart home
and so has the idea of home automation systems.

2.2 SUMMARY AND FINDINGS

The aim of this project was to build a home automation system so that the
householder could control the appliances into their house with a mobile application,
from the office or even the other side of the world, and control their home appliances.

The following summaries gives a detailed report on home automation system

with various application based usage such as ARM, Bluetooth, Adrinuo UNO and
Nodemcu models.

The devices were controlled with various sensors and actuators .It was
continuously monitored and controlled using Internet.

Some of the literatures review named Home Automation Using Internet of

Things by Vinay Sagar K N,Home Security SystemBased on Sensors and IoT
byNidhi Sharma, Design and Implementation of Automated Door Accessing System
With Face Recognition by M.Karanjkar, IoT Based Home Alert System Using Wi-Fi
and Cloud Technologies by Dr. SRN Reddy, ARM Based Automation System by
Vijay P. Jadhao,
and Smart Home Automation System byBulbul Bhaskar and R. Swarnalatha.
2.2.1 Home Automation Using Internet of Things
Vinay Sagar K N et al. [1] proposed a system that uses computers or mobile
devices to control basic home functions and features automatically through internet
from anywhere around the world, an automated home is sometimes called a smart
home. It is meant to save the electric power and human energy. The home automation
system differs from other system by allowing the user to operate the system from
 6

anywhere around the world through internet connection. In this proposed system, a
Home Automation system(HAS) using Intel Galileo was presented and that employs
the integration of cloud networking, wireless communication, to provide the user with
remote control of various lights, fans, and appliances within their home and storing
the data in the cloud.
The system will automatically change on the basis of sensors data and
allowing a variety of devices to be controlled. Home automation system means that
allow users to control electric appliances of varying kind. The proposed system is a
distributed home automation system, consists of server, sensors. Server controls and
monitors the various sensors, and can be easily configured to handle more hardware
interface module (sensors).Wi-Fi is chosen to improve system security (by using
secure Wi-Fi connection), and to increase system mobility and scalability. The
temperature and the motion detection are stored in cloud for analysis.
If the temperature exceeds the threshold level then the cooler will turn on
automatically and it will off when the temperature comes to control. HTML is a
format that tells a computer how to display a web page. The documents themselves
are plain text files with special "tags" or codes that a web browser uses to interpret
and display information on your computer screen. The designed system not only
monitors the sensor data, like temperature, gas, light, motion sensors, but also actuates
a process according to the requirement, for example switching on the light when it
gets dark.

It also stores the sensor parameters in the cloud (Gmail) in a timely manner.
This will help the user to analyze the condition of various parameters in the home
anytime anywhere.

2.2.2 Home Security System Based on Sensors andIoT

Nidhi Sharma et al. [2] Security is the main concern of the world now days.
Sensor based home security system are the high technology and methodical systems
which connect wirelessly and ensure real time operation and indication of the threat to
the house. The idea of comfortable living in home has changed since the past decade
as digital, vision and wireless technologies are integrated into it. Now-a-days internet
plays a major role in every area, so integrating sensors technology with an IOT
 7

environment could resolve the security issues of society to a great extent. The system
is cost effective, reliable and has low power consumption. Smart home security has
become absolutely pre-eminent in daily life of household and industrial works.

Home security is something that is applicable to all of us and involves the

hardware and a personal security practice. The hardware would be the doors, alarms,
lock systems and different type of sensors like IR sensor, LDR sensor, acoustic sensor
etc. to detect unfavorable condition. In case of personal security practice involving
doors locking, activating alarms, closing the windows and many other daily life tasks
are performed to prevent a burglary. In the present time a lot of unsolicited activities
like theft are increasing continuously so there is need to modify the functionality of
existing security systems. The application of this system is quite useful when people
get to know about the remote intrusions in their house or if there is some undesired
event when they are not at their place. The system has two parts: wireless sensor
nodes and IoT.

Fire and IR sensors are digital sensors. Water and LPG (MQ2) sensors are
analog sensors. This system is concerned about overall security of the house and
includes circuitry which in worse case (accidents) automatically sense the situation
and sends the emergency message on the website, which is easily accessed by security
guard/security firm/owner or individual. The extensive capabilities of this system are
those, which makes it so interesting. The system is user friendly and reliable. The 8
product will have a simplistic design making it users can easily interact with the
system.

2.2.3 Design and Implementation of Automated Door Accessing System With

Face Recognition

Prof.M.Karanjkar et al. [3] proposed system to help users for improvement of

the door security of sensitive locations by using face detection and recognition. Face
is a complex multidimensional structure and needs good computing techniques for
detection and recognition. This paper is comprised mainly of three subsystems:
namely face detection, face recognition and automatic door access control. Face
detection is the process of detecting the region of face in an image.
 8

The face is detected by using the viola-Jones method and face recognition is
implemented by using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Face Recognition
based on PCA is generally referred to as the use of Eigen faces. If a face is
recognized, it is known, else it is unknown. The door will open automatically for the
known person due to the command of the microcontroller. On the other hand, alarm
will ring for the unknown person.

Since PCA reduces the dimensions of face images without losing important
features, facial images for many persons can be stored in the database. Although
many training images are used, computational efficiency cannot be decreased
significantly. Therefore, face recognition using PCA can be more useful for door
security system than other face recognition schemes.

Nowadays, automatic personal identification in access control has become

popular by using biometrics data instead of using cards, passwords or pattern. Most of
the biometrics data have to be collected by using special hardware such as fingerprint
scanner, palm print scanner, DNA analyzer. And, 7 the target objects have to touch
with the required hardware in the stage of data collection. The advantage of this
system is that face recognition does not require to be touched with any touched
with ,hardware. Face is detected automatically by using face detection technique and
the entire face recognition is completed without touching with any hardware.

2.3.4 IoT Based Home Alert System Using Wi-Fi and Cloud Technologies

Dr. SRN Reddy et al. [4] proposed a system to design a budget homeSecurity
system based on wireless sensor network using Wi-Fi and Cloudtechnologies. It can
detect the theft, fire, leakage of gas or smoke and sends anautogenerated email
remotely to intimate the owner. A majority of home ownerssimply do not have
sufficient funds to pay for a professionally installed securitysystem.
The use of this Home Alert System in this paper is affordable and easy
toinstall. It has the ability to activate/deactivate and will automatically open or close
thedoor for the user. Microcontroller ATMEL 168, PIR sensor is used to detect
themotion of doors or windows. Vibration sensor is used when movement or
 9

vibrationoccurs, the unstable portion of the circuit moves and breaks the current flow,
whichproduces an alarm. A Numeric keypad is used for authorization and the
failedauthorization results in an alarm. In case of any fire or high temperature then
itintimates the user about the abnormal condition of the environment of his house.
Thisis very user friendly, which is very easy to use and it doesn’t need any
expertise tooperate. It has made the use of latest technologies like Wi-Fi and cloud
which hasreplaced the GSM technology, which incorporates a very high cost, RF and
Bluetoothtechnologies which were used only for short distance. The proposed Home
AlertSystem provides a remote access to home from anywhere by just login into your
cloudaccount. You can also track the previous information at a particular date,
time,location stored in cloud. This system has tried to solve almost every problems
relatedto the security of homes and it asserts.

2.2.5 ARM Based Automation System

Vijay P. Jadhao eq.al [5], present the ARM based automation system that can
monitor and control home appliances and able to establish successful communication
with unknown outdoor person or visitor. This system not only provides Smart Home
automation as well as it provides smart communication system which provides
communication with unknown visitors visiting home. In the first phase i.e. Smart
Home automation system phase commands received from user cell phone and present
sensor conditions, microcontroller system send signal through its ports to switch
ON/OFF appliances like light, fan, siren etc was done. But in the second phase
presents incorporated features to establish successful communication with unknown
visitors visiting home.
In this phase doorbell switch acts as a mediator that is when no one at home,
after some prespecified delay, call will be established with user through cell phone
 10

this new feature provides a user opportunity to establish communication and avoid
any losses or event due to no contact at all. ARM LPC-2148 Microcontroller and cell
phone can make possible Smart home automation.
2.2.6 Smart Home Automation System
Bulbul Bhaskar and R. Swarnalatha eq.al [4], presents smart home automation
system using AVR microcontroller. This system incorporates with sensors,
microcontroller and Bluetooth module to provide automation capability to various
household activities. An AVR microcontroller offers high performance and flexibility
for controlling various appliances. This system can monitor the changes in
temperature, lighting, detect fire and keep a check on the safety of the house.

2.3 CONCLUSION

A home automation system means to grant the end users to manage and handle
the electric appliances. If we look at different home automation systems over time,
they have always tried to provide efficient, convenient, and security ways for home
inhabitants to access their homes. Regardless of the change in user’s hope, growing
technology, or change of time, the appearance of a home automation system has
remained the same.

3.3 RELAY
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use number of
electromagnets to mechanically operate a switch, but other operating principles are
also used, such as solid-state relays.

Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a separate low-

power signal, or where several circuits must be controlled by one signal. Relays were
used extensively in early computers to perform logical operations.

3.3.1 Four Channel Relay

The figure 3.3.1 is a LOW Level 5V 4-channel relay interface board, and each
channel needs a 15-20mA driver current. It is equipped with high-current relays that
work under AC250V 10A or DC30V 10A. This module is optically isolated from high
voltage side for safety requirement and also prevent ground loop when interface to
microcontroller.

 Relay Maximum output: DC 30V/10A, AC 250V/10A.

 4 Channel Relay Module with Opto-coupler. LOW Level Trigger

expansion board, which is compatible with Arduino control board.
 14

 Standard interface that can be controlled directly by microcontroller

( 8051, AVR, *PIC, DSP, ARM, ARM, MSP430, TTL logic, Arduino,
NodeMCU).

 Relay of high quality low noise relays SPDT. A common terminal, a

normally open, one normally closed terminal.

 Opto-Coupler isolation, for high voltage safety and prevent ground

loop with microcontroller.

3.3.3 Schematic Diagram of Four Channel Relay

Fundamentally this is four separate circuits on one board.  Other than

sharing VCC and ground, the channels are isolated from one another.When you need
to drive a large power load, you can take the jumper cap off and connect an extra
power to RY-VCC to supply the relay to connect VCC to 5V of the MCU board to
supply input signals. . This will supply power to the transistor drivers and relay coils.
If relay isolation is enough for your application, connect power supply +5V and Gnd.

 17

A program for Arduino may be written in any programming language with

compilers that produce binary machine code for the target processor. Atmel provides
a development environment for their microcontrollers, AVR Studio and the newer
Atmel Studio.

The Arduino project provides the Arduino integrated development

environment (IDE), which is a cross-platform application written in the programming
language Java. It originated from the IDE for the languages Processing and Wiring. It
includes a code editor with features such as text cutting and pasting, searching and
replacing text, automatic indenting, brace matching, and syntax highlighting, and
provides simple one-click mechanisms to compile and upload programs to an Arduino
board. It also contains a message area, a text console, a toolbar with buttons for
common functions and a hierarchy of operation menus.

A program written with the IDE for Arduino is called a sketch. Sketches are
saved on the development computer as text files with the file extension .ino. Arduino
Software (IDE) pre-1.0 saved sketches with the extension .pde.

The Arduino IDE supports the languages C and C++ using special rules of

code structuring. The Arduino IDE supplies a software library from
the Wiring project, which provides many common input and output procedures. User-
written code only requires two basic functions, for starting the sketch and the main
program loop, that are compiled and linked with a program stub main into an
executable cyclic executive program with the GNU toolchain, also included with the
IDE distribution. The Arduino IDE employs the program avrdude to convert the
executable code into a text file in hexadecimal encoding that is loaded into the
Arduino board by a loader program in the board's firmware.

3.5 ESP-01 ESP8266 MODULE

ESP-01 is the one of the most popular ESP8266 module available in the
market. ESP8266 is a self containedSoC with integrated TCP/IP stack which helps
any microcontroller having UART to access a wifi network. It can act as both WiFi
 18

access point as well as a WiFi client. It is pre-programmed with AT commands, so we

can easily access and configure it using a microcontroller.

Figure 3.5 ESP-01 ESP8266 MODULE

ESP8266 runs on 3.3V and its input pins are not 5V tolerant. So we need to
reduce the 5V output of the Arduino Tx pin to 3.3V by using voltage dividing
resistors to connect to Rx pin of ESP8266 module. Arduino TTL input pins will detect
3.3V as logic high, so we can directly connect 3.3V output of ESP8266 Tx to Arduino
Rx pin.
 19

CHAPTER 4

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

4.1 CIRCUIT DIAGRAM AND EXPLANATION

First we can connect ESP8266 with the Arduino Uno. The ESP8266 runs on
3.3V, it may damage if you connect it directly to 5V from Arduino. Connect the VCC
and CH_PD of the ESP8266 to the 3.3V output pin of Arduino. CH_PD is Chip
Power Down pin, which is active low. So we will give 3.3V to it, which will enable
the chip. Then connect the TXD pin of the ESP8266 with the digital pin 2 of the
Arduino. Then make a voltage divider to make 3.3V for the RXD of the ESP8266
which is connected to the pin 3 of Arduino. Here we are using software UART
through digital pins 2 & 3 of Arduino. Lastly, connect the ground of the ESP8266
with the ground of the Arduino.
 20

Figure 4.1 Basic layout of Home Automation

Now we can connect relays to Arduino. Connect three relays to pins 11, 12
and 13 of the Arduino. Also connect 5V and ground from the Arduino to power the
relay. Note that here I am using relay modules which having built in transistor driver.
So don’t forget to add driver when you are using bare relays. We can connect AC
devices to the output terminals of those relays. First connect one wire (Phase) of the
AC source with the common terminal (COM) of all relays and the second wire
(Neutral) of AC source to one terminal of AC devices. Then connect the other
terminal of AC devices to the NO (Normally Open) terminal of relays.

4.2.2 Explanation
First we will initialize the software art with digital pins 2 & 3 of Arduino for
the communication with ESP8266. After that we will initialize pins to which we will
connect relays as output pins. Then we will configure ESP8266 in access point mode.
Arduino + ESP8266 is programmed as a web server such that we can control those
relays through a web browser.

connected to relays which are controlled by the Arduino.
ESP8266 and Arduino together acts as a Web Server and we will send control
commands through a Web Browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
ESP8266 is the one of the most popular and low cost wifi module available in the
market today. You can ready more about it here, ESP8266 – WiFiSoC.

CHAPTER 5

CONCLUSION

The home automation system has been experimentally proven to work

satisfactorily by connecting sample appliances to it and the appliances were
successfully controlled from a wireless mobile device.
We learned many skills such as soldering, wiring the circuit and other tools
that we use for this project and was able to work together as a team during this
project.

The Wifi client was successfully tested on a multitude of different mobile

phones from different manufacturers, thus proving its portability and wide
compatibility. Thus a low-cost home automation system was successfully designed,
implemented and tested.
