 CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system that allows devices to be connected and remotely monitored
across the Internet. Last years, the IoT concept had a strong evolution, being currently used in various
domains such as smart homes, telemedicine, industrial environments, etc. Wireless sensor network
technologies integrated into the IoT enable a global interconnection of smart devices with advanced
functionalities. A wireless home automation network, composed of sensors and actuators that share
resources and are interconnected to each other, is the key technology to making intelligent homes. A
“smart home” is a part of the IoT paradigm and aims to integrate home automation. Allowing objects
and devices in a home to be connected to the Internet enables users to remotely monitor and control
them. These include light switches that can be turned on and off by using a smartphone or by voice
command, thermostats that will adjust the indoor temperatures and generate reports about energy
usage, or smart irrigation systems that will start at a specific time of a day, on a custom monthly
schedule, and thus will control water waste. Smart home solutions have become very popular in the
last years. Figure 1 shows an example of a smart home that uses different IoT-connected utilities
(Stolojescu-Crisan, Crisan, & Butunoi, 2021).
One of the greatest advantages of Automation of aplliance systems is their easy management
and control using different devices, including smartphones, laptops and desktops, tablets, smart
watches, or voice assistants. Automation of appliances offer a series of benefits; they add safety
through appliance and lighting control, secure the home through automated door locks, increase
awareness through (IOT) dashboard, increase convenience through scheduling , save precious time,
give control, and save money
Several home automation systems involved with IoT have been proposed by academic
researchers in the literature in the last decade. In wireless-based home automation systems, different
technologies have been used, each of them with their pros and cons. For example, Bluetooth-based
automation [4,5,6] is low cost, fast, and easy to be installed, but it is limited to short distances. GSM
and ZigBee are widely used wireless technologies as well. GSM provides long-range communication at
the cost of a mobile plan of the service provider that operates in the area

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

 ENERGY EFFICIENCY: Automation of appliance allows you to be more mindful of your power
usage. For example, you can save on energy bills by reducing the length of time that lights stay
on, or by lowering temperatures when you leave a room.

 CONVENIENCE: Program devices to turn on automatically at certain times, or access their

settings remotely from anywhere with an Internet connection. When you don’t have to
remember to lock the door behind you or switch off the lights, you can turn your attention to
more important things.

 Remote access: Control your home from mobile devices, including

your laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
  Comfort: Use automation of appliances to make your home a more comfortable zone by run -
ning your appliances on schedule which give your appliances a specific time to turn on and
also turn off at a particular time without your presence or command

1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The aim of this study is to create automated appliances that can be control or monitor using signals from
them through the internet.

The objectives of the studies are;

 Creating an automated environment for the appliances to interect

 Creating a network that interect between the user and appliances

 Creating an internet network that will enables user communicate with device from anywere in
the world

1.4 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

This study will cover from automated aplliances such as bulb, fan, switch etc in our home and offices
which can can be controlled online using our mobile phones,tablet,laptop.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

 Cost: Extremely expensive: Although a lot of smart home devices are now affordable for many,
but still it is extremely expensive to fully equip a home with smart devices. However, most
computing technology becomes progressively more powerful & less expensive and this will be
undoubtedly applicable for smart home devices as well.

 Greater acceptance: A lot of new technology can sometimes be seen as unnecessary & some
people may currently view automation of appliances in this way. But in the same way that, over
the years, we have seen devices such as washing machines, microwave ovens & TV remote
controls become indispensable in the home, it is probable that in a few years, no one will
question the fact that they control their lights with a voice command.

 Wireless security: Almost all smart devices derive their functionality from some form of wireless
communication (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth). As with all digital communications, there is potential for
hackers to intercept wireless communications and use this to gain access to your smart home
devices. Wi-Fi is one of the most common ways to connect to smart home devices, so it is
important that you protect your home Wi-Fi router as well as you can.

 c) Integrated systems: Some manufacturers offer integrated smart home systems, where one
system is used to control all of the smart home devices. The obvious risk here is if hackers gain
access to the system then they can control everything in your smart home.

 App security: Smart home devices are usually linked to companion apps that can be used to
control the devices. However, to do this they are granted a range of permissions that influence
 the functionality of the device, such as being able to open and close a smart lock that is securing
your home.If hackers gain access to these apps then it could have considerable security
implications, as they will be able to control access to your home. The best way to mitigate
against this is to ensure your smart home apps are as up-to-date as possible and that you install
any software & security updates that become available for the apps.

1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

Leaving the lights on and other devices happens often enough, and can be not just annoying
but wasteful. Sometimes it could be that you forgot to turn off a number of lights when you left in
a hurry to work in the morning, other times it could just be that the kids turned all the lights on,
while playing and forgot to turn them off. These are clear signs that your home appliances
needs to be automated.

Automation appliances allows you to add smart lighting to your system so that you can be able
to monitor and control your home appliances from an app on your smartphone. Some function-
alities in automation of appliances can even run your light on schedule by turning it off during
day time and on during night time

Automation of appliance also design to help handicapped and aged people to be able to control the
appliances without moving from one point to and also. With Automation of appliances you can remotely
monitor your appliances and ensure that all devices is switched off. One of the biggest advantages of
Automation of aplliances is that it keeps your abode safe,and prenvents some accidental fires and other
disasters. Automation of appliance also design to help handicapped and aged people to be able to
control the appliances without moving from one point to

1.6 DEFINITION OF TERMS

 AUTOMATION OF APPLIANCES: “Automation of appliances ” refers to the automatic and

electronic control of household features, activity, and appliances. In simple terms, it means you
can easily control the utilities and features of your home via the Internet to make life more
convenient and secure, and even spend less on household bills.

 INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT): The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a system of interrelated,
internet-connected objects that are able to collect and transfer data over a wireless network
without human intervention

 ACTUATOR: An actuator is a device that produces a motion by converting energy and signals
going into the system. The motion it produces can be either rotary or linear. An actuator is a
device that produces a motion by converting energy and signals going into the system. ... The
actuator could be electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic

3 CHAPTER THREE: SYSTEM ANALYSIS, DESIGN, AND IMPLEMENTATION

3.1 ANALYSIS OF EXISTING SYSTEM

Automation appliances involves the integration of a variety of home systems including lighting, climate
control, security etc. to enhance the comfort, convenience and economy of the home for its users. It is
currently unknown if homebuyers believe that these systems add value to the home. This study used the
market value of home sales and an attitudinal survey of homebuyers, to determine the increased value of
homes containing smart technology. The results demonstrated that a significant price premium was paid
for the incorporation of the technology into new homes. In addition, the research suggests that the use of
this technology is not limited to high‐income earners or other demographic stereotypes. Instead it has
broad market appeal and the potential to save energy for the community at large.ACT-FINDING
