Implementation of Smart Home Automation with Enhanced Security

Abstract

With the surge in usage of power and human population, there is a vital need to conserve electricity in every way possible. The lack of ability to access and control the appliances from remote locations is one of the major reasons for power loss. To overcome this automatic techniques are employed in every aspect of day to day activities. Automation refers to the ability to program and plan a list of events for the devices on the network. The programming may include time-related commands, such as having your lights turn on or off at specific times each day. It can also include non-scheduled events, such as turning on all the lights in your home when your security system alarm is triggered. This paper describes the design and prototype implementation of new home automation system with enhanced security that uses Wi-Fi technology as a network arrangement connecting its parts. The proposed implementation consists of a hardware interface segment, which includes fingerprint sensor, temperature sensor, motion sensor, and camera and provides appropriate interface to sensors and actuators of home automation system. Unlike most of the home automation systems available in the present scenario, the proposed system is accessible that one server can handle many hardware interface modules as long as it exists on Wi-Fi network communication coverage. The proposed system supports a widespread variety of home automation devices like power management components, and security components.
