 ABSTRACT

This project presents a design and prototype implementation of new home automation system
that uses WiFi technology as a network infrastructure connecting its parts. The proposed system
consists of two main components; the first part is the server (web server), which presents system
core that manages, controls, and monitors users’ home. Users and system administrator can
locally (LAN) or remotely (internet) manage and control system code. Second part is hardware
interface module, which provides appropriate interface to sensors and actuator of home
automation system.Unlike most of available home automation system in the market the proposed
system is scalable that one server can manage many hardware interface modules as long as it
exists on WiFi network coverage. System supports a wide range of home automation devices like
power management components, and security components. The proposed system is better from
the scalability and flexibility point of view than the commercially available home automation
systems.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Aim and objective

The goal of this project is to develop a home automation system that gives the user complete
control over all remotely controllable aspects of his or her home.The automation system will
have the ability to be controlled from a central host PC, the Internet, and also remotely accessed
via a Pocket PC with a Windows Mobile based application.

1.2 Motivation
Building automation is automation of the building activity. This automation may include control
of lighting, fans, appliances, and other systems, to provide more convenience, comfort, power
saving and security. The concept of home automation has been evolved trough decades and
products have been on the market for long, though no one solution has broken through to the
mainstream yet. Home automation also helps for the elderly and disables persons that are at
home as they don’t have to move from one place to another place just for switching on or off the
appliances, opening the door, etc. It can also provide a remote interface to home appliances or
the automation system, via the internet, to provide control and monitoring via a smart phone or
web browser. This paper will describe system which we are implementing to control various
home appliances with arduino Ethernet web server and android Smartphone.

1.3OBJECTIVES
Our mainly purpose is handling all electrical device by sitting in one place that or know that
which device are on or off that means knowing the current state of any device that we controlled
and save the energy for the future.

1.4SCOPE
We implement that types of application because of we see many times that light, fan or many
device forget the people to switch off or also there is no need so there is scope of the project that
many places that is need the this type of application which show the current state of the device
that we can on/off .

1.5PURPOSE
Main purpose is simply we can save the energy and also developing the smart building, smart
home or city that we can manage by sitting any place.

1.6 OVERVIEW
While the cost of living is going up, there is a growing focus to involve technology to lower
those prices. With this in mind the Smart Home project allows the user to build and maintain a
house that is smart enough to keep energy levels down while providing more automated
applications. A smart home will take advantage of its environment and allow seamless control
whether the user is present or away. With a home that has this advantage, you can know that
your home is performing at its best in energy performance. By implementing this system, it is
possible to explore a variety of different engineering challenges, including software
programming, PCB design, Wi-Fi, TCP/IP protocols, Web Server logic design, and other
aspects. This automation system provides great insights to the challenges of software and
hardware design.

A. Overview of the System

A low cost and efficient smart home system is presented in this paper. This system has two main
modules: the hardware interface module and the software communication module. At the heart of
this system is the Arduino UNO microcontroller which is also capable of functioning as a micro
web server and the interface for all the hardware modules. All communication and controls in
this system pass through the microcontroller. The smart home system offers feature such as
environmental monitoring using the temperature, humidity, and gas and smoke sensors. It also
offers switching functionalities to control lighting, fans/air conditioners, and other home
appliances connected to the relay system. Another feature of this system is the intrusion
detection which it offers using the motion sensor and all these can be controlled from the
Android Smartphone app or web application.

In the present day, home automation is becoming essential for the purpose of improving our life
condition. Convenience and ease of using home appliances is what home automation is offering.
Home automation offers a futuristic way of life in which an individual gets to control his entire
house using a smart phone, from turning on a TV to locking/unlocking doors; it also offers an
efficient use of energy. But to get or acquire such system installed will cost a lot of money and
that is the major reason of why home automation has not received much demand and attention,
adding to that all so the complexity of installing it and configuring it.

This is essential to make it cost effective and easy to configure, if this is granted to people then
they will be willing to acquire it in their homes, offices and schools. In other words, a system
modification for the home automation is required in order to lower the price of applying it to
houses.

2
B. Existing System
The Existing system based on with the GSM Module & Bluetooth Module only. The recent
developments in technology which permit the Use of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 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 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 of home appliances is designed

1.7 FEATURES
Our system includes the following features:

1. Wireless Connectivity
2. Expansion Capability
3. Protocol Compatibility
4. Application Control
5. Device Management
6. Savings
7. Convenience

Abstract : In present days, as the technology improves day by day, every one seems to
automate most of the possible things to take advantage in providing ease in life, secure
and saving electricity. The main objective of this paper is to develop an interactive home
automation system based on Raspberry Pi through reading the message body of E-mail
which we are send. Here the message body of the received E-mail is read by the
developed algorithm fed into Raspberry Pi and it will resend the acknowledgement to that
mail_ id, if it is successfully sent or not. This algorithm is developed in python language,
which is default programming language provided by Raspberry Pi. Store these results in
internet by creating new channel API in thing speak, which is an IoT application.

Abstract : The aim of this project is to develop a system that will provide a control of
home appliances by using web page when the home host not at home. This paper is
mainly concerned with the automatic control of light or any other home appliances using
the internet. It is meant to save the electric power and human energy. This project is
made with the help of the raspberry pi. For this paper, of course, you will need a
Raspberry Pi board. In this paper, we used a Raspberry Pi model B with the Wi-Fi
dongle. The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized single-board computer developed in the
UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of promoting the teaching of basic
computer science in schools. The raspberry pi board contains a processor and graphics
chip, program memory (RAM) and various interfaces and connectors for external
devices. The raspberry pi can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does.
However, one key aspect that makes the raspberry pi so brilliant for schools is its ability
to execute “Python” coded programs.
