ABSTRACT
This paper purposes the study of Internet of Things (IOT) based home automation system. Internet of
things(IOT) based home automation system can be controlled over mobile devices. This system can perform
varied functions to be performed at home. This allows accessibility over internet from any corner in the world.
The main focus of this project is to minimize the usage of electricity and reduce human efforts.The Home
Automation system (HAS) incorporates various aspects of technologies such as wireless networking,
communication over cloud.The data to be analyzed is stored onto the cloud. The user can access multiple
appliances over the internet as per their convenience. This is a low cost system. This system can control multiple
devices
I. INTRODUCTION
The demand for automated systems has widely increased due to advancement of Automation Technology. The
rapid increase in the number of users of internet has made Internet a part of life, and Internet of things (IOT) is
the latest and emerging internet technology. Internet of things (IOT) is basically the interconnection via the
internet of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data. It is a
communication between multiple devices with no or less human intervention. Internet of things (IOT) can
minimize human efforts. Internet of Things (IOT) analyzes the data retrieved from the sensors and performs
appropriate activities thereby saving human time. The assurance to people about their home activities and
securities led to the advancement of Home Automation System. The system will continuously update the system
information as well as the user. In sec II Methodolgy is discussed. Furthermore in section III, IV, V and VI
Results and Discussions, Significance , Future scope and References are discussed
ESP8266
The ESP module is an integrated chip which offers a inbuilt strong and high range Wi-fi connectivity. For
operating the devices on cloud or over the internet the data is transferred wirelessly to database. Therefore this
module provides the most efficient service in its quality. It is a low cost wifi chip.
Wi-fi stands for wireless fidelity. A Wi-fi is very convenient and way more easy to use than a microcontroller. A
Wi-fi enabled device is able to send or receive data to the host wirelessly and with ease.Wi-fi is easy and fast
way of transferring data. In this project, data is transferred to the cloud using Wi-fi module which is operated by
the server. The range of Wi-fi module is very high and it can also penetrate through objects and hence can be
placed anywhere in the house. The use of this module in the project will be for transferring the data obtained by
the hardware. It sends data to the server and stored into the buffer memory which then is transferred to cloud
over Wi-fi and then the operations can be performed on data. [5]
Rasberry pi
The Raspberry Pi is a single board processing unit of very small size. The Raspberry Pi is used as the core
processing unit because of its small-size and high usability. The power consumption of raspberry pi is very less.
It has a low and affordable cost and hence it is widely used. The GPIO pin configuration is as shown below: [1]
Voltage Regulator
Voltage regulator is a device which lets the current flow in a regulated way. There are types of voltage
regulators namely fixed voltage regulator and variable voltage regulator. The fixed regulator is configured to
allow only a particular amount of current while the variable regulator has a range of current which can be
passed. Here, in this project a variable voltage regulator is used so that is automatically adjusts itself and
IV. SIGNIFICANCE
User Convenience
The basic advantage is user convenience. It becomes very easy to perform all activities. Even if you are not
present at home you can access all your home system remotely. It allows one to keep a track of all the activities
taking place at his/her place even in their absence.
Enhanced Security
Security is always a important factor which should always be taken in to consideration. With the help of security
cameras we can ensure safety of our place and eliminate the presence of unwanted people at our place. We can
keep track of all the activities which take place in our home in our absence. Home Automation Systems have
many security benefits. It will allow the users to track the activities at their home from any location. Some
complete home automation systems will alert the user through phone, text or email if there is any unusual
activity at their place. For example, automated systems include automatic door locks and using this system ,the
doors can be locked effectively allowing the user to keep a track over it. The fact that the user can be alerted
each time someone enters his/her home also allows user to monitor and keep a track of people who is entering
his/her place even in their absence.
Parental Control
Parents can have complete control over their children's rooms. For example, its 10pm and if you want your kids
to sleep, so just turn off the TV set and lights using your handset. Even if children tries to switch it on again,
you’ll be notified about the same. So home automation system allows you to keep a track over your children's
activity and manage it accordingly
V. FUTURE SCOPE
Home automation has vast scope. Using this system as framework, the system can be expanded to include
various other options which could include home security feature like capturing the photo of a person moving
around the house and storing it onto the cloud. This will reduce the data storage than using the CCTV camera
which will record all the time and stores it. The system can be expanded for energy monitoring, or weather
stations. This kind of a system with respective changes can be implemented in the hospitals for disable people or
in industries where human invasion is impossible or dangerous, and it can also be implemented for
environmental monitoring.
