lighting control and door control to secure house. Internet of Thing is the present in our
project.to automate home and control devices using relay.in this project we use raspberry
pi and Internet of Things for automate home and automation for home, office. IOT based
home automation allowing to control devices over to internet. IoT based technology
promising to can be connecting to to devices.
 1. CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
IoT is the internetworking of physical devices, vehicles (also referred to as “connected devices”
and “smart devices”), buildings, and other items-embedded with electronics, software, sensors,
actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data. In
2013 the Global Standards Initiative on Internet of Things (IoT-GSI) defined the IoT as “the
infrastructure of the information society” .. The home automation is nothing but interconnection
of physical devices embedded with sensors and software. The network connectivity is used to
collect and exchange the data. Home automation refers to the automatic and electronic control of
household features, activity and appliances. Modern system generally consist of switches and
sensors connected to a central “gateway” from which the system is controlled with a user
interface that is interacted either with a wallmounted terminal, mobile phone software, tablet
computer or web interface, often via internet . Nowadays home automation system is being
widely used to control devices around the home. A variety of home devices can be controlled with
the help of a home automation system. All kinds of home appliances like doors, lights, fan, electric
heater, surveillance systems, and consumer electronics belong to the home automation system
devices. Home automation system is adopted by using the technology available for the purpose of
controlling the devices as well as the systems used in the home automatically. This project
presents a prototype of an intelligent home automation to control the home appliances and
electrical and electronic equipment via a web interface which can be accessed by smartphones,
computers, tablets etc. having an active internet connection. It will turn ON or OFF and will
regulate automatically as well as manually the home appliances and electrical equipment by using
relay circuits with the concept of IoT. It will automatically regulate the fans according to the
weather conditions by continuously sensing and comparing the live humidity and temperature of
the house with the preset values. A software alarm will also be projected if it detects abnormally
high temperature inside the house. This project also demonstrates a very basic and intelligent
smart locking system which will lock or unlock the door upon manual authentication of the entity
entering the house whose image will be feed to the web interface. All of these are implemented
by using Raspberry Pi.
CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE SURVEY

IOT BASED HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM USING RASPBERRY PI AND

TEMPARATURE & HUMIDITY SENSOR

Availability of high speed mobile networks like 3G, 4G and LTE coupled
with cheaper and accessible smart phones has seen a tremendous growth in
terms of providing various services and applications at the fingertips of the
citizens. This report discusses about IoT and how it can be used for realizing
smart home automation using Raspberry Pi

IoT based Smart Home Automation System using Raspberry Pi

At its very basic, home automation means automatic and electronic
control of household utilities, security devices and appliances. An
integrated approach to home automation implies the user and associated
home appliances communicate with one another seamlessly. The aim of
this research paper on Smart Home Automation is to explore the
technical challenges of setting up a cost-effective home automation
system with a web-based interface and assess its effectiveness in
operating household utilities and security devices.
IOT Based Web Controlled Home Automation Using Raspberry PI

The project is mainly concentrated on IOT based home automation using

raspberry PI wireless home automation system using IOT helps us to
control basic home appliances automatically through internet from
anywhere around the world by using computers or mobiles. Now coming
to this project the main objective is presenting a proposed system for
smart home automation technique with Raspberry Pi using IOT and it is
done by integrating cameras and motion sensors into a web application.
To design this system, we are using a Raspberry Pi module with
computer vision techniques.

HOME AUTOMATION USING RASPBERRY PI

Home automation systems or smart home technologies are systems and

devices that can control elements of home environments such as lights, fans,
water pumps, general purpose sockets, etc. Home automation focuses more on
conservation. There are many different types of different purposes like
comfort and luxury. In fact, one of the major problems of these systems is that
these are neither inter-operable nor inter-connected. House hold appliances
can be controlled from a centralised control unit in a typical home automation
system. For the most commercially available home automation systems, these
appliances usually have to be specially designed to be compatible with each
other and with each other and with the control unit.
HOME AUTOMATION PROJECT

We live in an exciting time where more and more everyday items “things” are
becoming smart! “Things” have sensors and can communicate with other
“things” and can provide control to more “things”. The Internet of Things,
IoT, is upon us in a huge way and people are rapidly inventing new gadgets
that enhance our lives. The price of microcontrollers with the ability to talk
over a network keeps dropping and developers can now think and build things
inexpensively
CHAPTER 3: THEORY

3.1 Working principle of Iot:

This project works on the concept of IoT. All devices are connected centrally to the pi.

The web interface is designed to access the dedicated IP address of the Raspberry Pi to
gain remote access over the devices directly connected to the RPi. The sensors are
calibrated with the Pi in order to obtain the real time data which is then fed to the interface
as well as used for automatic regulation of the connected devices.The web interface having
its own dedicated IP address makes it accessible from any parts of the world over the
Internet. Home automation is a network of hardware, communication, and electronic
interfaces that work to integrate everyday devices with one another via the Internet. Each
device has sensors and is connected through WiFi, so we can manage them from our
smartphone or tablet whether you’re at home, or miles away. This allows us to turn on the
lights, lock the front door, or even turn down the heat, no matter where we are. There are
three main elements of a home automation system: sensors, controllers, and actuators.
Sensors can monitor changes in Humidity, temperature, or motion detection. Home
automation systems can then adjust those settings to our preferences. Controllers refer to
the devices — personal computers, tablets or smartphones — used to send and receive
messages about the status of automated features in your home. Actuators may be light
switches, motors, or motorized valves that control the actual mechanism, or function, of a
home automation system. They are programmed to be activated by a remote command
from a controller.
3.2 Proposed Block Diagram of the project
CHAPTER 4: HARDWARE OF THE PROJECT

PROPOSED SYSTEM: In the proposed system Raspberry Pi is used and internet

connection is established for the purpose of automation using IoT by accessing the IP
address.

4.1 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:

A. RASPBERRI PI

Raspberry Pi is a low cost credit card size computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV and
uses a standard keyboard and mouse. Most importantly it’s open source hardware. Computing
Programmable Language like python and scratch under Linux platform. Raspberry Pi 2 model B
has CPU 900MHZ quad-core ARM cortx-A7 processor. The Ethernet adaptor is connected to an
additional USB port. In model A and A+ the USB port is connected directly to the Silicon on Chip
(SoC).
B. RELAY

Relay circuit: Relays are switches that open and close circuits electromechanically or
electronically. Relays control one electrical circuit by opening and closing contact in another
circuit. When a relay contact is Normally Closed (NC), there is a closed contact when the relay is
not energized. It is an electromagnetic switch operated by relatively small electric current that can
turn on or off much larger electric current the heart of a relay is an electromagnet. Solid-state
relays control power circuits with no moving parts, instead using a semiconductor device to
perform switching. Relays with calibrated operating characteristics and sometimes multiple
operating coils are used to protect electrical circuits from overload or faults. Two channel relay
diagram is shown in the figure. This is a 5V, 10A 2-Channel Relay interface board. It can be
controlled various appliances, and other equipment with large current. It can be controlled
directly with 3.3V or 5V logic signals from a microcontroller (ARM, 8051, PIC).
5. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
A. Python:
Python is a widely used high-level programming language for general-purpose programming first
released in 1991. An interpreted language, Python has a design philosophy which emphasizes
code readability (notably using whitespace indentation to delimit code blocks rather than curly
braces or keywords), and a syntax which allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of
code than possible in languages such as C++ or Java. The language provides constructs intended to
enable writing clear programs on both a small and large scale.

B. ANDROID STUDIO

Android Studio is the official Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for

android application development. Android Studio provides more features that
enhance our productivity while building Android apps.

Android Studio was announced on 16th May 2013 at the Google I/O conference as
an official IDE for Android app development. It started its early access preview
from version 0.1 in May 2013. The first stable built version was released in
December 2014, starts from version 1.0.
