I. INTRODUCTION

A smart Home or Home Automation is a system

which allows user to control electric appliances of varying
kind. Internet of Things (IoT) covers a wide are which
includes variety of devices like smart phone, tablets, digital
cameras and sensors. A floor cleaning robot which can be used
by the masses. The cleaning robot can be divided into two
functions, the vacuum cleaning robot, and a mopping robot.
Among these function, the vacuum cleaning robot was
developed earlier. Whereas, in addition to that a mopping
robot was also embedded into it to make it as hybrid type of
floor cleaning robot. A smart mirror is a mirror with “smart”
capabilities much like how cell phones have become smart.
That is, it is a display that looks and acts like a mirror but has  Advantages

implement a Smart Home which includes Home automation The existing system performs vacuum cleaning of the
system connected with a Smart Mirror (which displays floor. the device described in this paper is a kind of intelligent
necessary notifications like weather, Headlines etc.), a robot cleaning robot. In general, it is composed by drive part, sensor
which helps clean the floor, a Smart watch which can be used

so on. Mobile Phone
Main target of this project is for those who had
 Advantages: The robot performs precise cleaning. chronic disease but live normally and need extra observation
 Disadvantages: from time to time
This does not perform other functions like vacuuming
and exact mopping and also expensive.  Advantages
Because of the simplicity of this project, patients can
use this application for their daily healthcare and the data will
be sent to doctor via SMS.

 Disadvantages
The criteria that needed to fulfil in order for project
to run accurately, both patients and doctors need to have GSM
modem and enough of sms pack.

C. Title: SmartReflect: A Modular Smart Mirror Application

Platform .
As an everyday object at home, mirrors have great
potential to serve not only as a reflective surface, but also as
an interactive display as part of a smart home environment.

 Advantages
The main advantage of Smart Mirror is sophisticated
display of necessary information like weather conditions,
news, etc. III. PROPOSESD SYSTEM
 Disadvantage: Existing system is expensive.
A. Home Automation

Temperature, Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), Gas sensor,

C. Smart Mirror
The Smart Mirror which will be able to display the
basic required messages such as News, Weather, Notifications
in home which will be helpful for normal or disabled people to
know the notification as soon as possible as well as the mirror
helps to remind what to do at the particular time. The Smart
Mirror will be able to update the data according to the user’s
preference. Raspberry Pi, an LCD Screen, an Acrylic See-
Through mirror are the components that builds up a Smart
Mirror.

B. Floor Cleaning Robot

The Floor Cleaning Robot is one that performs basic
floor cleaning functions like Vacuum Cleaning and Floor
Mopping. This robot will be able to perform its function based
on the time duration which will be mentioned through the
program. Arduino UNO or Arduino NANO are the
microcontrollers that will be used along with the sensors like
Ultrasonic sensors and a Servomotor and DC motor to make
this work.

This is how the program works, it is programmed
with the manual distance that we measure and fed into the Here raspberry pi acts as a mini computer and
program then it moves according to it. performs each and every command successfully without any
flaw. The main advantage is that we can use this as to see our
mirror as well as the information right behind it.

D. Smart Band
The Smart Band is an innovative approach to health
monitoring system with a sophisticated design. This system
helps monitor health factors such as Heart Rate and
Temperature of the human body. The Smart Band consists of
ESP 8266-12E Node MCU, a Pulse Rate Sensor, a
Temperature Sensor and an OLED Display. This Smart Band
will be able to monitor and track the heart rate and the
temperature of the Human body and able to display the values
either in mobile phones or web pages that we implemented.
The implementation was designed in this manner that the old
people or even normal people were affected by cardiac arrest
because of the various changes that happens in world day to
day. So the pulse rate sensor will read the values and if there is
abnormal values other than program it will automatically
messages to the relatives and the ambulance driver or to the
hospital to indicate that the patient is in danger and need
rescue and can be done

floor cleaning is taken into account ,a garbage collector is to
be embedded with the existing system. Then smart mirror to
be added with more features like home automation which is
included into it. Finally, smart band made to an advanced level
which acts as defibrillator, the necessary Adjustments or
modifications are possible to this system, depending on the
necessity of the user.
