18MCA48: Internet Of Things(IOT) 2020-2021

1. INTRODUCTION

IOT is an abbreviation of Internet of Things, which refers to uniquely identifiable

objects (things) and their virtual representations in an Internet-like structure. Smart home has
been a hot area of research for several years and has attracted attention from academy and
industry in recent years.

The concept of “automated home/smart home” was first introduced over 80

years ago, and has been facing different technical limitations since then. Recently, service
providers and home appliance manufacturers have launched a new initiative to bring the
concept of smart homes to reality. This Smart Home initiative allows subscribers to remotely
manage and monitor different home devices from anywhere via smart phones or over the web
with no physical distance limitations. With the ongoing development of mass-deployed
broadband internet connectivity and wireless technology, the concept of a Smart Home has
become a reality where all devices are integrated and interconnected via through the wireless
network. These “smart” devices have the potential to share information with each other given
the permanent availability to access the broadband internet connection. Hence, the Smart
Home Technology has become part of Internet of Things (IoT), the wireless sharing of
information. The IoT provides a strong tool that not only connects wireless communication
devices but wireless sensors for heating/cooling or any needed utility within the house to
better manage energy usage as well as enhance the living experience in modern homes.

TI CC3200 Launchpad

The TI CC3200 Launchpad consists of Applications Microcontroller, Wi-Fi Network

Processor, and Power-Management subsystems. It uses ARM Cortex M4 Core Processor at
80 MHz. It has embedded memory including RAM (256 KB). The dedicated ARM micro-
controller also has a network processing subsystem in it.

Its features include:

• USB interface using FTDI USB drivers
• It is operated from 2 AA- batteries
• Standalone development platform provides feature such as sensors, LEDs and push-buttons .

WORKING OF PIR MOTION SENSOR

Human Beings emits thermal energy of wavelength around 9-10 micro-meter everyday.
Pyroelectric or Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) ,is an electronic device which is designed to
detect this IR wavelength when a human being is in its proximity. To have a wide range for
detection a simple lens is used. Sensors may also be calibrated in such a way so as to ignore
domestic pets by setting a higher sensitivity threshold, or by ensuring that the floor of the
room remains out of focus.

3. WORKING NATURE

The prototype can be used in following two ways:

1) As a smart security system

2) As a smart home automation system.

A. As a smart security system

PIR motion sensors are installed at the entrances of a building. These sensors as
explained earlier detect the motion of human beings. This signal which detects their presence
becomes the input trigger for the micro-controller. The owner, who may or may not be
present in that building, will be receiving a voice call on his mobile phone (whose number is
predefined in the program) stating that ’There is an Intruder in the House’. To turn ON the
lights and alarm at house so that the intruder will be warned, the owner can press ’1’ from his
mobile keypad. Moreover if the owner finds that his building is not safe, he can send an SMS
to the concerned authority in police department; explaining his situation. The module will
turn OFF the alarm and lights after a fixed time delay. The call will be triggered again as
soon as the module detects any unexpected motion and the owner will receive the call again
and the process continues so on. To ensure the safety from other entrances too, motion sensor
should be installed at those places and will be controlled by a single micro-controller.

B. As a smart home automation system

This application of the module can be explained by an example. Suppose the

owner is expecting a guest at his house but he is not available there. Now, as the guests reach
at his house the owner will receive a video call. But now the owner can press digits other
than 1 (such as 3 for lights, 4 for fan, 5 for A.C., and so on) or even can disable the security
system. Similarly if the user or somebody leaves the house, the user will still receive a video
call and this time he can switch Off the appliances or can enable the security system again by
pressing proper digits known to him. Since the appliances are connected to mains supply
through a relay they can be easily controlled using micro-controller.

4. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

4.1. ADVANTAGES
 This low cost system with minimum requirements takes care of both home
security as well as home automation.
.
 This home security system does not use any smart phone application or any type
of user interface instead uses digits from the keypad on the phone, the system is
platform independent and hence can be accessed from a wide range of phones
with different operating systems.

 To operate home security system the user need not have data connection enabled
in his phone. The system runs fine with the launchpad connected to wifi at
home/office.

 Since the launchpad sends a voice call to only a particular number which is
present in the web API there is no need to worry about security leakage as the
system cannot be accessed by any other unauthenticated user. This in turn
increases the fidelity of the security system.

 The use of wifi enabled launchpad in the system enables the system to be
controlled from any part of the globe contrary to Blue-tooth controlled or IR
remote controlled existing home automation solutions that too without any net
connectivity in the phone is simple and inexpensive

 Adding convience our daily life.

 Energy efficient is of use.

 Save money and envinorment.

 Security.

4.2. DISADVANTAGES

 Damage of cable effect entire system.

 Signal receiving problem.

 Equipment and installation cost.

 System crashes due to any damage in the interconnection.

 Difficult to control different sensor simultaneously.

5. CONCLUSION

From above two sections, it is obvious that the IOT based smart home has many
benefits. Firstly it is compatible with current household appliances. It doesn’t mean
discarding current technologies, but to collaborate with them to provide a better life.
Secondly it is scalable. Any new appliance complying with this architecture and protocols
can be added into the system. Current appliance can be added into the system through
interface. Thirdly it is convenient to use this system. The control centre communicates with
users. The agent can interoperate with each other, under constraints of ontology, using
service oriented language, which is suggested to be a promising programming language in
the next few years.

The first and foremost issue is protocols. The protocols in IOT still need to be
finalized. The second issue is context awareness ability. The last but not least is security
problem.
This includes two aspects, security of user certification and safety of appliances
themselves. The certification mechanism and the information transfer method are to be
further explored. The safety of appliances requires a set of scientific manipulation rules and a
set of fault diagnosis mechanism. This paper tries to integrate IOT technologies into smart
home system. The contribution lies in the proposition of an architecture that integrate IOT
into smart home system. The intention of this paper is to draw more interests of these two
rapidly developing fields, IOT and smart home system, and expects to do contribution to
both.
