This document discusses a seminar topic on home automation using internet of things. It proposes designing and implementing an IoT-based system for home automation, energy management, and smart security. The system would allow users to remotely monitor and control home appliances and systems using a mobile app for convenience. This could help reduce energy consumption and fire risks while improving security through remote surveillance. Future applications of home automation discussed include more advanced voice control and automated ordering of groceries.
2. Abstract
• Home automation means building the automated systems for home.
• Such homes are also known as smart homes or smart house.
• Objects can easily be remotely sensed, monitored and controlled when home is automated
using the Internet of Things (IoT); this will give room for direct integration of the real
world into computerized systems.
• The design and implementation of an IoT-based home automation, energy management
and smart security system.
• The proposed scheme is aimed at assisting and supporting an efficient usage of power, and
by doing so, power consumption as well as the risk of fire outbreaks will be greatly
reduced to the barest minimal.
3. Introduction
• Domestic home automation systems may use robotics, embedded controllers,
programmable logic circuits and other computer technologies for monitoring and control
of household appliances.
• The energy saving feature of home automation is the most important feature, the total
energy usage can be monitored so as to ensure proper and efficient power usage by offing
all the redundant appliances, by so doing, energy consumption is minimized. For the
internet-based home automation, its most exciting feature is the convenience.
• The time when the geyser is to be turned on and wait for the water to get hot is over. The
geyser can be tuned on from office/place work or anywhere provided that there is internet
connectivity, so that on getting home, the water is ready for use, this saves one a lot of
time.
4. • For security purpose, one can conveniently be monitoring the house remotely
through surveillance cameras. The user can conveniently and comfortably be
controlling and monitoring the sound system as well as the light intensity from the
sofa via the home entertainment section of the scheme, while watching and enjoying
an exciting movie.
• There is an unavoidable need for energy conservation by any available means due to
continual growth in population, leading to higher energy demand. Remote
monitoring of electrical and electronic appliances will help a great deal towards
minimizing the energy consumption problem.
5. • Internet of Things is defined as the linkage of physical devices and objects,
embedded with electronics, some forms of hardware and internet
connectivity so that these devices can interrelate and interconnect with one
another through a web server and can subsequently be remotely monitored
and controlled.
• The development of an internet-based home automation system is the main
objective of this research. The goal is to build a pedestal via which
communication between web applications and an embedded controller
positioned at a remote place somewhere in the universe will be possible.
8. • The design is made such that the embedded controller interrelates with the user
mobile software by dint of a network server using internet protocol. The UI is
used to give commands to the embedded controller. Based on the predefined
control algorithm governing the microcontroller, it will then execute the
required tasks. The embedded controller displays the device status via the LCD
screen; it also updates this information onto the server for the user mobile
application. The safe communication between the user mobile application, the
user interface (UI) and the control unit take place via the server. Once the user is
identified, an access is granted to the Web page.

9. Literature survey
1. Bluetooth based home automation system using cell phones - In
Bluetooth based home automation system the home appliances are connected to the
Arduino BT board at input output ports using relay. The program of Arduino BT
board is based on high level interactive C language of microcontrollers; the
connection is made via Bluetooth. The password protection is provided so only
authorized user is allowed to access the appliances.
10. 2. Zigbee based home automation system using cell phones –
To monitor and control the home appliances the system is designed and
implemented using Zigbee. The device performance is record and store by
network coordinators.
3. GSM based home automation system using cell phones –
Because of the mobile phone and GSM technology, the GSM based home
automation is lure to research. The SMS based home automation, GPRS
based home automation and dual tone multi frequency (DTMF) based home
automation, these options we considered mainly for communication in
GSM.
11. Techniques can be used…..
• Hardwired
• There are benefits to using hardwired home
automation. Although many people don’t want
to even think about this option because it is
one of the most costly of options, the benefits
are probably well worth it.
• In hardwired applications, you’ll have to do
the actually wiring of devices, something that
a professional may have to help you with.
Since the costs start at $1000 and go well up,
it’s not the right thing for everyone.
• The benefits of hardwiring, though, include
the ability to rely on it. It is quite the
dependable option especially when you
compare it to other types of automation that
can be somewhat dependant on frequency or
location.
• Infrared
• The remote control options are one of the
most affordable choices, and therefore are
often used for the smallest budgets.
• Infrared does have the disadvantage of
requiring a “line of sight” style of remote
control. You’ll have to point the remote at the
application, appliance or device for it to make
any changes happen.
• You’ll find that Infrared is used in many
television remote controls as well as other
consumer style electronics and appliances.
Most of the remote controls you pick up today
will have this type of technology in them.
12. Area of application
• Surveillance and security :
Surveillance cameras, security sensors and other sensors can be
integrated with the system to help the operator to properly monitor his
vicinity.
• Management of power consumption :
The Real-time monitoring of appliances helps in the reduction of energy
consumption, and also provides an opportunity to turn ON or OFF the
appliances remotely.
13. • Entertainment :
Appliances can be either switched ON or OFF via the system.
Hence the system can be connected to another one, such as
illumination/lighting system, and Sound system.
• Access control :
With the help of the keypad section, a Digital locking system
can be incorporated into the system; thereby providing
monitoring and enhancing security about movement into and
out of the house.
14. Future Scope
• Home automation is still in its early stages, but it shows great
promise for the future. In the coming years, we can expect to see
more and more homes outfitted with smart technology that makes
life easier and more efficient.
• Some of the most exciting advancements in home automation are yet
to come. For example, imagine being able to control your entire
home – from the lights to the temperature to the security system –
with just your voice. Or envision a fridge that automatically orders
groceries when you’re running low. The possibilities are endless.
15. • This field of home automation is fastly emerging in
technology making homes safer and better places to live.
• As home automation technology continues to evolve, it will
become more affordable and accessible for everyone. So
whether you’re an early adopter or someone who likes to wait
for the latest and greatest gadgets, there’s a good chance that
home automation will be part of your life in one way or
another in the near future.
16. Conclusion
• In this ppt, summary of the design and development of the network home
automation method has been presented. As a result of the numerous
devices connected to the internet, the IoT-controlled home automation
structure possesses an abundant application in the skill-driven flea market.
The work in this paper demonstrates the procedures of both accessibility
and control of appliances through either the unit keypad or the network
control panel. In order to improve efficiency of the system’s individual
components, the components are modularized, thereby certifying the
system integration with a wide range of devices. The basic idea of the IoT-
based home automation, energy management and smart security system is
to provide the client with a very safe and suitable system for efficient
security, mobility and control.
