Design and implementation of a home automation system for smart grid applications
ABSTARCT :
A home automation system for smart grid is designed and implemented. The system monitors temperature and humidity and controls air conditioning, lights and appliances. The Message Queuing Telemetry Transport protocol and Djanjo web framework are used. A graphical user interface is developed to enable the user to control the devices remotely via a website.
EXISTING SYSTEM :
? There are some limitations in the communication technologies that have been used in the existing automation systems.
? Based on the researches that have been done, one of the main issues in most existing HAS is their implementation and maintenance cost which is not affordable for most users.
? Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new system to overcome the limitations of the existing home automation systems.
? This can be achieved by design and fabricate a low cost Wi-Fi-based Automation System for Smart Home prototype using Arduino microcontroller and Android-Based smartphone.
? Our final product should be a compact box which is easy to be integrated to an existing switching board of real houses appliances via relay board and provide safer control.
DISADVANTAGE :
? To overcome these design issues and minimize the shortcomings of home automation systems, this paper proposes an integration for locally and remotely controlled home automation systems.
? We are going to increase the number and variety of sensors for more safety and security in addition to provide option for the fully-automated of home appliances.
? We will implement a gateway to connect all sensors to an IoT platform and we may replace some sensors with a wireless sensor to overcome some wiring problems.
? However, there are several issues involved when designing such automation system and it should be considered.
PROPOSED SYSTEM :
• This paper proposes a low-cost Wi-Fi based automation system for Smart Home (SH) in order to monitor and control home appliances remotely using Androidbased application.
• The proposed automation system, can easily and efficiently control the electrical appliances via Wi-Fi and Virtuino mobile application.
• The conceptual framework and the methodology adopted for this work including the systematically organized different stages of the research in conjunction with the detailed implementation features of the proposed system.
• This research project has proposed, designed and fabricated a low cost Wi-Fi based Automation System for Smart Home prototype using Arduino and Android smartphone.
ADVANTAGE :
? Home automation allows the controlling and monitoring of various home appliances by a single system and brings greater convenience, better security, as well as higher energy-efficiency to home users.
? The integration of home automation systems into the future smart grids will give consumers the ability to control their house system and save energy efficiently.
? Home automation system should provide a user- friendly interface to allow setup, monitoring and controlling home appliance easily and efficiently.
? The system is developed to control all the electrical appliances at home easily and efficiently and enable the remote control by supporting the IoT concept.
