Internet of Things Based Energy Aware Smart Home Control System

Abstract

The concept of smart home is widely favored, as it enhances the lifestyle of the residents involving multiple disciplines, i.e., lighting, security, and much more. As the smart home networks continue to grow in size and complexity, it is essential to address a handful among the myriads of challenges related to data loss due to the interference and efficient energy management. In this paper, we propose a smart home control system using a coordinator-based ZigBee networking. The working of the proposed system is three fold: 1) smart interference control system controls the interference caused due to the co-existence of IEEE 802.11x-based wireless local area networks and wireless sensor networks; 2) smart energy control system is developed to integrate sunlight with light source and optimizes the energy consumption of the household appliances by controlling the unnecessary energy demands; and 3) smart management control system to efficiently control the operating time of the electronic appliances. The performance of the proposed smart home is testified through computer simulation. Simulation results show that the proposed smart home system is less affected by the interference and efficient in reducing the energy consumption of the appliances used in a smart home.

Advances in the development of power supplies for the Internet of Everything

“…The fruition of the IoE has been a key driving force for facilitating the development of industry and information technology and altering the way we interact with our physical environment . Remarkably, a wide range of application domains have undergone revolutionary changes and produced an explosion of opportunity for the burgeoning IoE, such as healthcare, digital devices, home automation, energy conservation, security, information exchange and communication, and environmental monitoring …”

“…5 Remarkably, a wide range of application domains have undergone revolutionary changes and produced an explosion of opportunity for the burgeoning IoE, such as healthcare, digital devices, home automation, energy conservation, security, information exchange and communication, and environmental monitoring. [6][7][8][9][10] Following the growing popularity of the IoE, the development of power sources to effectively drive IoE devices is becoming increasingly important. The past decade has witnessed many powerful electrical supply systems being explored ( Figure 1).…”

Cross-Layer Energy Optimization for IoT Environments: Technical Advances and Opportunities

“…For domestic purposes such as heating control, security, lighting, etc., the smart home concept provides efficient management mechanisms, with increasing usage of smart devices. The smart home control system based on Coordinator-based ZigBee networking (CoZNET) mitigates the interference effect and minimizes the energy consumption of domestic appliances [13]. Moreover the workings of a smart home system based on CoZNET is divided into three sections, namely Smart Interference Control System (SICS), Smart Energy Control System (SECS) and Smart Management Control System (SMCS).…”

A Low-Power WLAN Communication Scheme for IoT WLAN Devices Using Wake-Up Receivers

“…However, client nodes (home appliances) were only turned off and on based on their utilization. The proposed system in [7] does not provide a power efficient communication method. In [8], the authors have proposed an effective handoff procedure and AP selection mechanisms based on a certain medium access control (MAC) protocol called distributed queueing with collision avoidance (DQCA).…”

“…Whereas the idea of managing AP operation by average distance calculated by received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is simple and effective in the dense AP scenario, such an AP power saving method cannot reduce the power consumption of STAs. In [7], a management system to control home appliances was proposed which takes into account the coexistence of heterogeneous networks. However, client nodes (home appliances) were only turned off and on based on their utilization.…”
