Rationale
The title of the project is ‘Development of Home Automation Design Project’.
The development of the innovative technology had been helpful for involving the management of the smart work and standard of living for the people. The information technology development had helped in forming the improvement of the specific and improved work development. The problems due to the lack of the home automation are,
- Lack of Easy Working:The technology innovation has taken over almost all parts of the operations and it is also required at home for innovating the operations at home. The delay in completion of the smaller works at home would result in forming the major setback for the people.
- Mistakes in Equipment Handling:It is possible that the handling of the equipment by human would turn to mishap due to lack of understanding. The small mistakes in handling of equipment could tend to form issue in formation of the project completion.
The analysis of the works has been implied with the continuation of the support and development. The effective development of the activities had been helpful for including the innovation of the works at home. The IOT based home automation would be helpful in dealing the issues of smart home requirements. The main purposes of the study is,
- To understand the requirement of using IOT based home automation for the people
- To collect information regarding the automatic home appliance management system using IOT technology
- To design a safe IOT based home automation that is feasible in nature
- To form the documentation supporting the development and completion of the project
The information technology development would help in improving the facilities and formation of the successive development of works (Chen, 2017). The automation of the equipment like light, fan, conditioner, weather controller, and locking system would be helpful for easing the facilities of operation. The completion of the IOT based home automation would be helpful in improving the easing of the lifestyle of the people and analysis of the work development. People would be able to use their smart devices for controlling the devices at their home and ensuring that no wastage of the facility is faced.
The IOT based home automation is a fully developed house with the mobile devices, wireless communication, cloud networking, and power-line communication (Stankovic, 2014). The use of the effective and smart management of the equipment using the IOT based automation would allow the formation of the successful and improved development. The following is the design of the IOT based home automation,
it is clear that the connection to the automated device would be established using the internet and cloud network. The house would be integrated using the Intel Galileo Board for forming the connection. In place of the board, Arduino can also be used for making sure that the appliances can get connected to the internet cloud network. The sensory works would be implied with the continuation of the smart and effective modulation to the devices. The board would be connected to the power supply. The sensory data has been set for an optimum threshold value. If the value of any of the sensor attached to the board would rise above the threshold value, an alarm would be raised. The alarm would form the impact on the relay resulting in execution of the counter alarms. For example, if the temperature in the thermostats is higher than the threshold temperature set in the device, the temperature of the weather controller would be decreased and vice versa.
The research methods required for the IOT based home automation project would be implied with the management of the innovative and technology. The research method used for the project information collection is qualitative secondary analysis. The implication would be implied for the listing the management of the successful work development (Reddy et al., 2016). The formation of the work can be implied with the listing of the work development. The secondary analysis would be implied for the listing of the effective work development. The various data and information collected from the authentic sources would be helpful for forming the listing of the smart work development. The literature review would be developed following the qualitative secondary data analysis.
Problem Domain
According to the study in Froiz-Míguez et al. (2018), an experimental setup using the sensors for gas, motion, and temperature, LDR, Intel Galileo, WiFi, cloud network, and electrical appliances. The system would be developed using the principle of threshold and parametric data input. The data has been saved in the database with the help of webserver and cloud network. The sensory works would be implied with the continuation of the smart and effective modulation to the devices. The board would be connected to the power supply. The sensory data has been set for an optimum threshold value. If the value of any of the sensor attached to the board would rise above the threshold value, an alarm would be raised. The alarm would form the impact on the relay resulting in execution of the counter alarms.
The experimental setup has the following capabilities
Temperature and humidity (fan on/off)
Fire and smoke detection (gas leakage shown by led blinking)
Light level (lights on/off)
Using IOT for the home automation system has the following ethical issues,
Interception: The external interception of the information and mingling with the device is a major problem in this project. The lack of the control of access would result in privacy and security issues of the owners.
Data redundancy: overwrite of data or the loss of the data would also be a major concern for the completion of the project. The data redundancy has been the major problem whenever the management of the database is concerned.
The major deliverables for the project of IOT for the home automation system are,
- Understanding the requirement of using IOT based home automation for the people
- Collecting information regarding the automatic home appliance management
- Designing a safe IOT based home automation that is feasible in nature
- Forming the documentation supporting the development and completion of the project
