 Chapter 1 : INTRODUCTION

1.0 Introduction:

The development of digital information has led to the rapid change in

human life -style. The use of electricity is very important as one of the
main source of energy that is vital in modern lives today. As the years go
by, technology has been ever evolving, and as a result, new means are
being developed for easier and safer control of electrical devices for more
efficient power management at homes and work places.

Most people inevitably tend to leave their lights, fans and other appliances
on when leaving their homes resulting in energy wastages and
inefficiencies. It is not environment but whatever be the case much should
be done to moderate energy wastage.
These wastages are very detrimental to industrial development.
Consequently, available technologies need to be widened to eliminate or
reduce these wastages in electricity usage.

Negligence with regards to leaving lights and other electrical appliances on

can lead to outrageous electricity bills, wastage of much needed power
(electrical energy) and shorter life span of electrical devices or appliances.
This thesis presents the design and implementation of a centralized remote
lighting and appliances control system for smart home applications using
GSM technology that generally reduces the cost of power consumption
appreciably.

Therefore, the remote controlling takes the control of the home beyond the
home and directly to the hands of the home owners. Basically, if a simple
mobile phone takes on the added responsibility to control the electrical
appliances of any home, then the control has no geographical boundaries.
Nowadays the mobile services, so developing a system which can control
home appliances and lighting from anywhere should appeal to a very large
population.

1.1 Objective:
 In this project we are introducing you to a Remote-Control Automation
Device... Which is completely Control AC Applicants project and it can
be deploy in any sensitive or confidential places like entry point.

Normally there are many projects at this place but project do not work
on accurate timing

2. Literature Survey

2.0 Literature Survey:

What is an IoT?
IoT stands for Internet of things. But what do we actually
mean by Internet of things? As we know that internet is a way to
connect with the different networks present globally, we can also
define IoT as a combination of hardware and software which is
designed in a specific way so that both hardware and software act
as a single system.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a name for the aggregate
collection of network-enabled devices, excluding traditional
computers like laptops and servers. Types of network connections
can include Wi-Fi connections, Bluetooth connections, and near-
field communication (NFC). The IoT includes devices such as
"smart" appliances, like refrigerators and thermostats; home
security systems; computer peripherals, like webcams and printers;
wearable technology, such as Apple Watches and Fitbits; routers;
and smart speaker devices, like Amazon Echo and Google Home.
Why we need IoT based projects?

IoT wants to connect all potential objects to interact each other on

the internet to provide secure, comfort life for human.

Internet of Things (IoT) makes our world as possible as connected

together. Nowadays we almost have internet infrastructure wherever and we
can use it whenever. Embedded computing devices would be exposed to
internet influence. Common instances for embedded computing devices are
MP3 players, MRI, traffic lights, microwave ovens, washing machines and
dishwashers, GPS even heart monitoring implants or biochip and etc.

IoT tries to establish advanced connectivity (with the aid of

internet) among these mentioned device or systems or services in order to
little by little makes automation in all areas. Image that all thing are
connected to gather and all information would be interacted to each other
over standard and different protocol domain and applications.

How the Internet of Things Works?

These devices use Internet protocol (IP), the same protocol that
identifies computers over the world wide web and allows them to
communicate with one another. The goal behind the Internet of things is to
have devices that self-report in real-time, improving efficiency and bringing
important information to the surface more quickly than a system depending on
human intervention.

ADVANTAGES OF IOT
The concept of IoT is characterized by two defining features:

• Automation. The general idea of IoT involves direct

communication between separate devices, apparatuses, and
other hardware without human interference.

• Connectivity. Enhanced connections within one network on a

worldwide scale provide easy access to various information. In
view of these features, the Internet of Things must employ
numerous technologies to ensure automatic data transfer,
analysis, and response between multiple devices. For example,
automation is impossible without Artificial Intelligence, Big
Data, and Machine Learning, while connectivity is greatly
facilitated by cloud computing and wireless communication
technologies.

Let’s see how these features result in numerous advantages of Internet of

Things technologies and services.

1. Improved productivity of staff and reduced human labour

Thanks to IoT solutions, mundane tasks can be done automatically, so

human resources may be transferred to more complex tasks that require
personal skills, especially out-of-the-box thinking. This way, the number
of workers can be minimized, which results in reduced costs of business
operation.

2. Efficient operation management

Another significant benefit offered by the interconnection of smart
devices is automated control over multiple operation areas, including,
among others, inventory management, shipping tracking, fuel and spare
parts management. For example, this approach involves using RFID tags
and a corresponding network of sensors to track the location of
equipment and goods.

3. Better use of resources and assets

The automated scheduling and monitoring implemented with the help of

interconnected sensors enable higher efficiency of resource use, such as
improved power management and water consumption. For example,
simple motion detectors may save significant sums of money in
electricity and water bills, thus making both small and large businesses
more productive and eco-friendlier.

1. Cost-effective operation

Due to the reduced downtime periods, ensured by automatically

scheduled and controlled maintenance, supply of raw materials, and other
manufacturing requirements, the equipment may have a higher
production rate resulting in bigger profits. Again, IoT devices greatly
facilitate management within individual departments and across the
whole enterprise structure.
2. Improved work safety

In addition to the abovementioned benefit, the scheduled maintenance

is also highly advantageous for ensuring operational safety and
compliance with the required regulations. In their turn, safe working
conditions make the enterprise more attractive for investors, partners,
and personnel, increasing the brand reputation and trust.
Smart devices also reduce the probability of a human error during
various stages of business operation, which also contributes to a higher
level of safety. In addition, a network of IoT devices such as
surveillance cameras, motion sensors, and other monitoring devices
can be utilized to ensure the security of an enterprise and prevent thefts
and even corporate espionage.

3. Thorough marketing and business development

Smart devices that are situated at homes, especially voice assistants

and other appliances that can directly communicate with end-users on
a regular basis, provide invaluable source information for business
analysis. IoT helps enterprises by gathering large volumes of user-
specific data employed for developing business strategies, targeted
advertising, fine-tuning price policy, and other marketing and
management activities.

4. Improved customer service and retention

The abovementioned collection of user-specific data achieved by using

smart devices also helps businesses to understand the expectations and
behaviour of customers better. IoT also improves customer service by
facilitating follow-ups after sales such as automatic tracking and
reminding the customers about required maintenance of purchased
 equipment after its predefined period of use, the ending of warranty
periods, etc.

5. Better business opportunities

Due to the increased effectiveness, the company that uses IoT solutions
is able to offer a wider range of services or products, or increase their
quality in comparison with its competitors, but at the same price. As
an alternative, such a company may perform more challenging tasks in
terms of production difficulty, time, or quantity. Altogether, the use of
smart solutions makes an enterprise more competitive and attractive as
a potential business partner.

6. More trustworthy image of the company

A company that employs high-tech solutions, and IoT in particular,

generally makes a positive impression on customers, investors, and
other business partners who are aware of numerous advantages offered
by the Internet of Things. Moreover, it is easier to attract highly-sought
experienced staff if a company provides a safe and secure working
environment ensured by a network of smart devices.
 How to build IoT project successfully?

In contrast, successful IoT projects first understand the day-to-day

problems the customers and the business have, and then imagine a
connected product that can help solve those problems.
After you figure this out, you can start to develop a feasible
implementation strategy, set realistic goals and expectations, and
streamline the deployment process. Like every other major business
undertaking, this requires thorough planning and testing.

1. Learn the basics

Before you even start your IoT project, you need to develop a
basic understanding on how IoT technology works. Take the time to
learn how other product creators and businesses use IoT to solve
problems and educate yourself enough to ask questions, such as:

Important Questions:

1. What are the common use cases for IoT? (e.g., Preventative
Maintenance, Asset Tracking, Environmental Monitoring, Remote
Monitoring, Compliance Reporting, etc). And does your IoT project fall
under one of these use cases?
2. Can I create a business model around connectivity that justifies the
recurring cost incurred by connected devices?
3. What are the important technology choices and considerations I need
to take into account?

1. Identify your use case

 Touching on the first question in the prior step, IoT is
incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of ways. There is simply
no way you could list all the possible use cases, but there are proven
methods that provide continuous, recurring value for the companies that
use them. Common, widespread IoT use cases include:

• Preventive or Predictive Maintenance - You can connect your

machines or equipment and receive alerts the minute something
starts to go wrong. For example, Jacuzzi’s hot tubs are connected
to the Internet and alert distributors and owners the minute
something starts to go wrong.
• Asset Tracking - IoT technologies allow companies to monitor
their constantly moving assets (like equipment or vehicles) in real
time. With increased visibility, they can solve problems before
they occur.
For example, Safe Transport utilizes Particle’s asset tracker to
give administrators the ability to track and monitor school buses
in real time remotely.
• Environmental Monitoring - IoT sensors can be used for
commercial farming, water monitoring, and more. By protecting
valuable resources, companies can deliver recurring value for
customers and their business. For example, scientists are
monitoring real-time measurements of hazardous fumes like
sulfur dioxide and particulate matter in Hawaii with connected
sensors.
• Automatic Refillment - IoT technologies allow companies to
automatically receive alerts when consumables elements (like
 fuel, oil, filters) are low, which allows them to forecast demand
and more.
• Smart Metering - IoT devices track the energy, water, and gas
consumption of buildings and homes, reducing operating
expenses and improving forecasting.
• Consumer Upsell - Companies can create a high-end connected
product and sell it at a premium. However, the product must
introduce novel functionality or improve services that are
valuable for the customer for this to work.

These IoT business models have proven to help product builders

and businesses make money with their IoT projects. Of course,
you have to pair these business models with the questions in
step one to create an IoT project that delivers continuous,
recurring value for you and your customers.

1. Researching and Selecting an IoT Platform / Tools

One way of illustrating an IoT platform

Before starting your IoT project, research the best IoT platforms,
tools, and applications that could help you successfully
implement your IoT product. Selecting the optimal framework is
a critical part of a IoT project, and the right platform will be
capable of growing with your business and adapting to future
technological advancements.
When examining IoT platforms, these are the types of things you
should be examining or looking for based on your solution:
• Hardware - Does the vendor offer any off-the-shelf applications,
developer kits, or starter packages for the specific use case you are
targeting? You will likely have to do some customization, but not
having to start from scratch can save significant time and effort.
• Device Management - How does the vendor allow you to monitor,
segment, and manage IoT devices that are out in the field?
• Connectivity - How well does the vendor’s network coverage fit
your business’s current and future initiatives?
• Method of connectivity - What type of connectivity do you need?
Do you need a Wi-Fi or cellular solution for your IoT product? You
need to assess these needs and see how the vendor can address
them.
• Geographic Coverage- Do they provide an embedded SIM with
global support? Does the IoT platform cover the regions your
business needs?
• Type of service - How does the IoT platform describe and sell
themselves? Some services are purely connectivity platforms, while
others are end-to-end solutions that offer the hardware, software,
and connectivity. You need to assess what your business needs.
How will your needs change over time?

4. Choosing the Right IoT Hardware For Your IoT Project

IoT development boards and modules are at the centre of every IoT project.
As IoT has developed, the variety and technical capabilities of these boards
has only become more complex. When starting an IoT project, you’ll want
to start with a simple prototyping kit, but as you progress through the
hardware development and design process, you’ll need to invest in
hardware boards that are designed for scaling.

This may cause you to ask, what is the difference between prototyping
and production hardware? Here is an example between prototyping and
production hardware, and their intended purposes:

Prototyping Hardware — Development kits (DKs)

Development kits are breadboard friendly and optimized for expandability,

modularity, and ease-of-use. As a result, they can be used for scaling
depending on the use case and application, but maybe best used as short
term PoCs in friendly environments.

1. Intended use - Useful for iterating/prototyping hardware and firmware

systems quickly. It provides a quick start solution and gets an IoT
project rolling.
2. Features - USB connectivity, ecosystem of hardware accessories,
breadboard-able headers, RGB status LED, on-board antenna, affordable
costs
3. Audience - Hobbyist developers, engineers very new to hardware
4. Examples - Argon, Boron

5. Building Your First IoT Prototype

 Developing a prototype allows you to discover the minimum
parameters you need for your IoT project before full deployment. A
thorough prototype simulates the basic and most important components
of the final IoT product. To create a successful prototype, you should
ask yourself the following questions:

• Can I validate the use case by accurately measuring the data I’m
after?
• Which features and data are most important to the success of the
initiative?
• What are the most expensive and challenging design requirements?
• Are there any features in the design that will go unnoticed and
unused?
• Which demands does the design not satisfy and how problematic is
that?

In reality, when it comes to prototyping, there isn’t a clean roadmap to

follow. If you’re unfamiliar to product development, this process can be
challenging. However, there are tons of resources available to get
inspiration and help from real IoT experts:

• Particle Community — Particle’s community offers a supportive

team of IoT experts who can answer any of your IoT project
questions and concerns.
• Hackster.io — Hackster.io offers a development community for
learning and building an IoT project. You can take inspiration from
the thousands of IoT projects that are listed on their website.
• Adafruit — Adafruit is the go-to place to learn anything about
building IoT projects. They offer tons of resources, hardware, and
guides to help you get started.
• Stack overflow — While primarily for programmers, stack overflow
has a large supportive community that can you help answer your
IoT- related questions.

Find an IoT Partner(i.e., Determine Your Skillsets And What

You’re Missing
This step is a little interchangeable and may need to be
Complete before you even start building your first prototype.
Regardless, if you’re planning to develop an IoT project at scale,
you may need to find a partner or domain experts who can help
you build your product.

Cisco survey (2017), over 60% of respondents

admitted that they substantially underestimated the complexities
of
managing their own IoT initiatives. Even more alarming, the
same survey also found that 75% of self-initiated IoT projects
were considered a failure. However, the same Cisco survey
found that most companies that consult IoT domain experts
throughout the project’s lifecycle finish on time. Companies that
go it alone often exceed their initial timelines and find that they
lack the internal expertise to keep the project up and running.
Unfortunately, by the time companies realize that they need
additional expertise, they are deep into the development process,
making pivoting exponentially more costly.

 Resources Required:
1] Arduino Uno (Wi-Fi)
Arduino UNO is a low-cost, flexible, and easy-to-use programmable
open-source microcontroller board that can be integrated into a variety
of electronic projects. This board can be interfaced with other Arduino
boards, Arduino shields, Raspberry Pi boards and can control relays,
LEDs, servos, and motors as an output.
2] Relay Model

This is the standard USB-A to USB-B Arduino Programming cable that

could be used to program Arduino UNO. Cable television is a system of
delivering television programming to consumers via radio frequency (RF)
signals transmitted through coaxial cables

3] Jumper wires

Jumper wires are used for making connections between items on

breadboard and Arduino’s header pin A jump wire (also known as jumper,
jumper wire, DuPont wire) is an electrical wire, or group of them in a cable,
with a connector or pin at each end (or sometimes without them
4]Sim 900 GSM Module

A customized global System for Mobile communication (GSM) module is

designed for wireless radiation monitoring through short Messaging service.
It works on frequencies 900MHz. SIM900A can search these two bands
automatically. The frequency bands can also be set by AT Commands. The
baud rate is configurable from 1200-115200 through AT command. SIM900A
is an ultra-compact and wireless module. A customised Global System for
Mobile communication (GSM) module is designed for wireless radiation
monitoring through Short Messaging Service (SMS). This module is able
to receive serial data from radiation monitoring devices such as survey meter or
area monitor and transmit the data as text SMS to a host server.
5]Programming cable

Lattice Programming Cables are the hardware connection for configuration &
communication with all Lattice devices. After completing your design with
Lattice Diamond, iCEcube2 or PAC-Designer software, you can generate a
programming file in a number of formats.
A combination of cable service tiers, consisting of the Basic Broadcast and Cable
Programming Service tiers, as provided by the Licensee as of the Effective Date
and including any individual broadcast channels or cable networks added to these
tiers as a result of the reconstruction of the Cable Communications System.

6]Breadboard

A breadboard (sometimes called a plug block) is used for building temporary

circuits. It is useful to designers because it allows components to be removed
and replaced easily. It is useful to the person who wants to build a circuit to
demonstrate its action, then to reuse the components in another circuit.
Breadboards are one of the most fundamental pieces when learning how to
build circuits.
4. Connections:

4.1 Arduino and Relay Interfacing

• Connect GND of Arduino to Gnd of Relay
• Connect IN1 of Relay to pin 7 of Arduino.
• Connect 5V of Arduino to VCC of Relay.

4.2 Arduino and GSM module Connections

• GSM RX --> Arduino TX • GSM TX --> Arduino RX

4.3 Relay connections

• Com is connected to the battery or power source.
• Connect the appliances to NO since initially there is no contact
between NO and COM. When the relay is triggered COM gets
connected to NC and the connection is complete
 5. Implementation and Results

After the connections are made and checked properly the system is now
ready for use. The system works from anywhere from a mobile phone
which can be present in any part of the world. The string is then received
by the Arduino which decodes it and checks if it matches with the already
stored string in command.

It is matches the Arduino drives the relay which further switches

ON and OFF the electrical appliances. The sending and receiving of
the strings from/ to the Arduino can be achieved by AT commands.
AT commands can be studied at.
The following piece of code shows how Arduino reads commands and
drives the relays[7].

#define TV 5 if(!(strncmp(str,"tv on",5)))

{
digitalWrite(TV, HIGH);
lcd.setCursor(13,1);
lcd.print("ON ");
delay(200); }
In this piece of code value '5' is given to tv in the macro defined at the
starting of the code. The command checks the condition that if the received
string and predefined string matches then It sets the pin 5 of Arduino to high
which is further connected to relay and drives it.

6. Conclusion
With the help of proposed system, we can control the connected AC
appliances remotely. This helps in reducing power consumption. This
result of this project shows that microcontroller is a very power device
for building smart electronic projects/devices like Home Automation
System that can control the devices remotely
