ITT270 Assignment B

The concepts of digital electronics can be applied for various applications.

Scenario: Smart home control system

Home automation (commonly called smart home) is increasingly popular among consumers.
The purpose of home automation is to assist consumers in managing and controlling certain
home appliances automatically. By incorporating home automation into their home, the
homeowner can control when certain home appliances can be switched on or off based on
certain conditions.

Nowadays, many home automation systems incorporate the concepts of Internet of things
(IoT). An IoT-based home automation system requires household items to be connected to the
Internet via a smart home hub or smart home gateway. Homeowners then can control their
household items remotely using a website or smartphone app.

There are multiple kinds of home automation, depending on the complexity required by the
homeowner. A basic home automation system typically can control when to switch on or off
the air conditioners, fans or lamps depending on the data from the sensors or other triggers.

The task for this Assignment B is to design a simple smart home control system based on the
requirements specified below.

B.1. 4-input k-map

A smart home control system is to be designed to control the following items:
• Air conditioner at the living room
• Fan at the living room
• Lamp at the car porch

The air conditioner, fan and lamp are to be switched on or off based on the following conditions:

Task B.1: Convert the operation of the smart home control system into a digital system using
logic gates.

1) Derive a truth table based on the requirements of the system. (5 marks)

2) Draw and populate k-map(s) based on the truth table in (1). Then derive the logic
equations from the k-map(s). [Show groupings in k-map(s) clearly] (4 marks)

3) Using the logic equations from (2), construct and simulate the logic circuit in the
simulator. Screenshot all input-output combinations from the simulator. (15 marks)

4) Do the simulation outputs from (3) match the truth table in (1)? (1 mark)
