The process of controlling or operating various

equipment, machinery, industrial processes, and other


applications using various control systems and also with
less or no human intervention is termed as automation.
There are various types of automation based on the
application they can be categorized as

• home automation
• industrial automation
• autonomous automation
• building automation
Home Automation Using IOT

Home automation is the process of controlling home


appliances automatically using various control system
techniques. The electrical and electronic appliances in
the home such as fan, lights, outdoor lights, fire alarm,
kitchen timer, etc., can be controlled using various
control techniques.
The main purpose to design and implement a home
automation system using IOT

controlling and automating most of the house appliances


through an easy manageable web interface. The proposed
system has a great flexibility by using Wi-Fi technology to
interconnect its distributed sensors to home automation
server. This will decrease the deployment cost and will
increase the ability of upgrading, and system
reconfiguration.
Home automation systems face four
main challenges

• high cost of ownership


• in flexibility
• poor manageability
• difficulty in achieving security.
ADVANTAGES

1. Reduce human efforts:


– As this system works by automatically human do not require to
apply more efforts.
2. Multitasking:
– Multiple functions are doing at the same time without efforts
of the human.
3. Reduce time:
– As this system is multitasking so the time require will be less.
APPLICATIONS

1.Lighting control system:


– The voltage of the LED or tubes is high or low.
2. Security:
– It provides the security for fire and smoke.
3. Leak detection:
– It will detect the leakage of gas cylinder in kitchen.
