Design and Implementation of the E-Switch for a Smart Home

Abstract

As the development of systems in smart homes is increasing, it is of ever-increasing importance to have data, which artificial intelligence methods and techniques can apply to recognize activities and patterns or to detect anomalies, with the aim of reducing energy consumption in the main home domestic services, and to offer users an alternative in the management of these resources. This paper describes the design and implementation of a platform based on the internet of things and a cloud environment that allows the user to remotely control and monitor Wi-Fi wireless e-switch in a home through a mobile application. This platform is intended to represent the first step in transforming a home into a smart home, and it allows the collection and storage of the e-switch information, which can be used for further processing and analysis.

Fitur utama yang dimiliki oleh sistem smart home adalah untuk melakukan monitoring dan pengontrolan [2][4] [9]. Ada banyak kondisi yang dapat dikontrol dan dimonitor, seperti suhu, kelembapan, hingga kebocoran gas [4] [5].…”

Smart power switch using internet of things

“…Various methods were proposed to reduce the energy consumption [12]- [13]. In terms of smart power outlet based on IoT, some progress has been documented in [14]- [18]. IoT-based devices consist of the hardware (i.e.…”

“…In terms of communication protocols, WiFi is chosen over others such as Bluetooth, MiWi, Zigbee, LoRa and LTE mainly due to its capability to transmit data over a long distance with high speed as well as its cost effectiveness [20]. The system to be proposed in this paper combines the strengths and overcomes the weaknesses such as complicated design and unfriendly user interface as documented in [14]- [18].…”
