Home automation is a technology that allows people to control the electrical appliances and systems in their homes from a mobile device or computer anywhere in the world. This includes things like lights, heating and air conditioning, alarm systems and any other devices that are connected to the system.
Generally, this is done by using wall-mounted terminals, tablet or desktop computers, a mobile phone application, or a Web interface that can be accessed off-site. This can make it easier to control your home from work or vacation and also save you money on electricity bills by turning off appliances when they’re not in use.
In the past, the only way to access your home appliances was by installing a special remote that could be controlled via a key or button. However, now there are many more ways to remotely control your home appliances and systems from anywhere in the world.
Voice-controlled Home Appliances Project:
With the rise of wireless communications, it’s possible to build home automation systems that can be controlled using a smartphone or another mobile device with Bluetooth capabilities. This can be extremely helpful for paralyzed people who can’t physically operate an appliance.
This project involves the development of a smart home device that can be operated by voice commands through an Android app. The Android app sends a string of data to an Arduino board which controls a relay to turn on or off the appliance.
Home Energy Monitoring and Automation System: This project aims to design an energy efficient home automation system that measures temperature, relative humidity, and light intensity. The sensor then sends this data to a Raspberry Pi that uses it to control two electrical devices.
RF Modular Based Wireless Secured Home Automation System: This project aims to design a smart home automation system that utilizes RF modules and FPGAs to control a variety of devices within the home. The RF technology has many benefits, including its programmability and security.
Lab VIEW Home Automation Project: This project discusses the use of a Lab VIEW tool to develop a home automation system. The tool is an interactive data acquisition program that is compatible with most programming languages, allowing you to create custom applications.
Touch Screen Based Home Automation Project: This project aims to design a home automation system that can be operated by a touchscreen panel. The touchscreen panel consists of a resistive pad that connects to a microcontroller which sends ON/OFF commands to the load.
ARM Based Smart Home Automation: This project aims to design a system that uses a combination of an ARM controller and a mobile phone for automation. The controller recognizes the abnormal conditions of a sensor and acts accordingly. It then sends a notification to the sensor to inform it of its abnormal condition.
PIR Based Security Home Automation: This project aims to design an automated security system that can be used to detect any movement in the room. It then sends an alert to the user.
