3. Project Details:

This project presents the overall design of Home Automation System (HAS) with low cost and
wireless system. It specifically focuses on the development of an IOT based home automation system
that is able to control various components via internet or be automatically programmed to operate
from ambient conditions. In this project, we design the development of a firmware for smart control
which can successfully be automated minimizing human interaction to preserve the integrity within
whole electrical devices in the home. We used Node MCU, a popular open source IOT platform, to
execute the process of automation. Different components of the system will use different
transmission mode that will be implemented to communicate the control of the devices by the user
through Node MCU to the actual appliance. The main control system implements wireless
technology to provide remote access from smart phone. We are using a cloud server-based
communication that would add to the practicality of the project by enabling unrestricted access of the
appliances to the user irrespective of the distance factor. We provided a data transmission network to
create a stronger automation. The system intended to control electrical appliances and devices in
house with relatively low-cost design, user-friendly interface and ease of installation. The status of
the appliance would be available, along with the control on an android platform. This system is
designed to assist and provide support in order to 1fulfil the needs of elderly and disabled in home.
Also, the smart home concept in the system improves the standard living at home

Literature Review

“A Dynamic Distributed Energy Management Algorithm of Home Sensor Network for

Home
Automation System”, by Tui-Yi Yang, Chu-Sing Yang, Tien-Wen Sung.

This paper proposes an optimization of home power consumption based on PLC (Power Line
Communication) for an easy to access home energy consumption. This also proposes a Zigbee and
PLC based renewable energy gateway to monitor the energy generation of renewable energies. ACS
and DDEM algorithm are proposed for the design of an intelligent distribution of power management
system to make sure ongoing power supply of home networks. To provide efficient power
management the power supply models of home sensor network are classified groups viz. main supply
only, main supply and backup battery, rechargeable battery power and non-rechargeable battery
power. Devices with particular features are assigned to these groups. It targets to establish real time
processing scheme to address variable sensor network topologies.

3.3. Executive Summary/Abstract of the Project (Maximum 200words)

{Summarize main reasons of doing this project, theme of project, need of your design and what ideas you have to
achieve the proposed design.}

There Internet of Things (IOT) is a concept where each device is assigned to an IP address and
through that IP address anyone makes that device identifiable on internet. The mechanical and digital
machines are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network
without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Basically, it started as the
“Internet of Computers.” Research studies have forecast an explosive growth in the number of
“things” or devices that will be connected to the internet. The resulting network is called the “Internet
of Things” (IoT). The recent developments in technology which permit the use of wireless
controlling environments like, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi that have enabled different devices to have
capabilities of connecting with each other. Using a WIFI shield to act as a Micro web server for the
Arduino which eliminates the need for wired connections between the Arduino board and computer
which reduces cost and enables it to work as a standalone device. The Wi -Fi shield needs connection
to the internet from a wireless router or wireless hotspot and this would act as the gateway for the
Arduino to communicate with the internet. With this in mind, an internet-based home automation
system for remote control and observing the status of home appliances is designed.
Due to the advancement of wireless technology, there are several different types of connections are
introduced such as GSM, WIFI, and BT. Each of the connection has their own unique specifications
and applications. Among the four popular wireless connections that often implemented in HAS
project, WIFI is being chosen with its suitable capability. The capabilities of WIFI are more than
enough to be implemented in the design. Also, most of the current laptop/notebook or Smartphone
come with built-in WIFI adapter. It will indirectly reduce the cost
of this system.
