In this paper a low cost and user friendly remote controlled home automation system is presented using Arduino board, Bluetooth module, smartphone, ultrasonic sensor and moisture sensor. A smartphone application is used in the suggested system which allows the users to control up to 18 devices including home appliances and sensors using Bluetooth technology. Nowadays, most of conventional home automation systems are designed for special purposes while proposed system is a general purpose home automation system. Which can easily be implement in existing home. The suggested system has more features than conventional home automation systems such as an ultrasonic sensor is used for water level detection and soil moisture sensor is use for automatic plant irrigation system. This paper also describes the hardware and software architecture of system, future work and scope. The proposed prototype of home automation system is implemented and tested on hardware and it gave the exact and expected results.

Smart home automation system using Bluetooth technology

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of devices such as vehicles, and home devices that contain electronics, software, actuators, connectivity which allows these things to connect, interact and exchange data. Automation is the technology by which a process is performed with minimum human efforts. Automation or automatic control is the use of discrete control systems for operating equipment. This paper is focused on five different techniques such as home automation system by using symmetric encryption scheme, Eet-based Smart Home intelligent system, by using set of sensors, low-cost Wi-Fi based automation system for Smart Home, monitoring and controlling the home appliances via World Wide Web. Even though, some issues arises in every method which are analyzed in analysis and discussion section. To improve these issues, this paper has proposed a new home automation technique with the use of IOT, so as to reduce the existing problems and make home automation more smart and secure. Index Terms Internet of Things (IOT), Home automation system.

Iot based smart home automation system

"Olivia" is a Virtual Assistant developed specifically for homes, which can be integrated into any home to make it a Smart Home. The user can interact solely through his/her voice with Olivia (the virtual assistant) to get any his/her work done around the house.Olivia-the virtual assistant can be installed anywhere inside any house as it lives inside Raspberry Pi which is a really compact and inexpensive computer and can be connected easily to devices such as microphone, speakers, cameras, PIR etc. Thus having the ability to convert any home into a smart home.In this system we have integrated Olivia into smart door lock for ‘The Smart Home Surveillance System’ implemented on Raspberry Pi. The system is smart enough to identify and differentiate between the owner and stranger using face recognition and act accordingly. In this system, Olivia can interact with the stranger at the door in case the owner is not present at home and will notify the owner about the visit using Email and SMS along with the image of the stranger.Similarly, Olivia can be integrated to other systems and appliances such as tube lights, air conditioners etc. making them smarter.The virtual assistant is highly beneficial for visually impaired people as it can perform various functions inside the house such as telling about the weather, stock prices, performing various calculations, telling jokes or playing songs all solely through voice.

Smart Home With Virtual Assistant Using Raspberry Pi

Smart Home Models are used to monitor and control home appliances through various methods, such as ZigBee, Bluetooth, and SMS. With the rapid growth of technology, the smart home model based on the Android application is designed using Android Smartphones. The smart home model will be able to ease the effort of physically challenged individuals in controlling their home appliances, such as lamps, fan, and Television. Simulation method in this research paper is done by Proteus simulator and Android Software (IDE). This paper presents a survey of all the existing systems and studies their features. This paper also shows how to simulate the smart home model using Arduino Uno.

A Smart Home Model Using Android Application

Nowadays, home automation has become a popular trend and the demand for smart homes is rising with consumers being increasingly aware of the new technologies developed in the field of automation. W...

A Consumer-Based Smart Home with Indoor Air Quality Monitoring System

With the increase in consumption of energy and population, there is a grave need to conserve energy in every way possible. The inability to access and control the appliances from remote locations is one of the major reasons for energy loss. A web or an android application is used by the users to give instructions to these systems. This system can make use of a host of communication methods such as Wi-Fi, GSM, Bluetooth, ZigBee. Different controlling devices and configurations can be found in existing systems. Such systems have been found already in many places for a wide variety of applications. This paper presents a survey of
