The Purpose of The Work

Introduction

Creation of building automation systems is the latest direction in

Informational Technology, which is called Smart House - "smart home" and
defined as a complex set of hardware and software for building an integrated
automation system engineering subsystem.

These subsystems include heating, water supply, air conditioning, lighting,

subsystems of access, security and security, audio-video equipment (multi-room)
and several others [1].

Under "smart” home" should be understood as a system that provides

security, resource saving, and comfort for all users. In the simplest case, she must
recognize specific situations occurring in the home, and react accordingly: one of
the systems can control the behavior of others according to predetermined
algorithms [2]

Automation of equipment management provides a few undeniable benefits

at all levels, regardless of the depth of implementation. “Smart House”
technology can significantly affect the process of reducing energy costs by
optimizing the time when lights and some gadgets are on. For example, just by
setting up a sensor that will let the light be on only when there is someone in the
room, could affect significantly the cost for energy.

Another domain of economy that is slightly affected by the IOT integrated

in a smart house is, slightly increased safety of the house. By integrating IOT as a
solution for house, we are armed with the possibility to watch, control and handle
unwanted actions around our house.
 I. The Purpose of The Work

For example, one of the application domains of the IOT in house is ability to
sync motion sensors together with video cameras and other sensible sensors for a
achieving a full security control of the private property, even when we’re not
home. For example, a well-constructed system could even call the police when
there was some very suspicious activity near the sensors.

IOT solutions for private houses has been proven as revolutionary

technology, that allow us to increase simplification of system management as a
whole and as consequence, prevention of emergencies, manufacturability of the
facility management process with the ability to compose an individual work
program for each subsystem and much more [3].

In the modern world, there are many different automated systems which is
slightly increasing the efficacy of the production in relation to the applied force,
and as a result, people can do less effort while being able to achieve more results.
Consequently, the life quality of humanity is growing constantly up.

But they all have several disadvantages, such as: lack of adaptation to
domestic market, such systems are created considering European or American
management standards.
 I. The Purpose of The Work

The main problem is that the creation of automated systems is a very time-
consuming process, in which requires the constant participation of various
specialists and developers. However, the main difficulty lies in the fact that these
systems installed as a set, according to a pre-prepared engineering architectural
concept, with which there should be no inconsistencies.

All these factors together make the "smart home" inaccessible to a large
part of consumers of the domestic market, since the majority either do not have
the means to the purchase of a whole set of systems, or due to the lack of
companies - manufacturers of a narrow direction for specific purposes in
everyday life.

That's why the task of creating an economical, accessible and flexible

information and measuring system for maintaining optimal soil moisture,
applicable to house plants, gardens, greenhouses, is relevant.

Another demand factor for such a system is the main economical power of
the Republic of Moldova which is still agricultural domain businesses. Most of the
entrepreneurs doesn’t have enough financial resources to be able to buy ready-
to-use existing solutions for automatization of the basic task in agriculture as is
the watering the soil in necessary volume and time. Some sort of plants requires
watering only when soil has a specific quantity of dryness. All these variables are
an obstacle for a most of the users to be able to construct their own solutions.
I. The Purpose of The Work

The purpose of the work:

Development of a plant irrigation automation system for smart home technologies.
Creating a simple system that will increase the capable to use IOT audience by
providing a well-formed UI and a small number of gadgets to use to be able to
independently set-up the entire system.

Development path, required actions:

1. Review existing solutions for smart home technology.
2. Analyze modern approaches to solving the problem.
3. Based on the chosen technology to develop information measuring
system.
4. Write and optimize program code.
5. To process and analyze the results.
6. Draw conclusions on the work.
