IOT based Automation for Smart Sustainable Homes

Abstract

This paper proposes the design of Inter of Things (IoT) based home automation system using Raspberry pi. Unlike the conventional fixed switches for switching on and off-fans, bulbs and other electrical devices , it would provide users portable control and management all the devices connected together over wireless local area network. Moreover this paper lays emphasis on the security of the user's home by providing biometric door lock/unlock feature through fingerprint sensor of a smart phone. This paper also include a water tank management system with objective to send notifications to the user about water level with option of automatically cutting off the power supply at full tank level thereby preventing any water wastage. The main objective is to provide the users with a simple graphical user interface in form of a mobile application that will allow them to control and automate their household devices, provide them with security features and prevent wastage of natural resources like water and electricity with just a simple touch on their smart phone which eventually make smart homes sustainable too.

IoT Enabled Smart Homes in Tropical Regions as a Means of Sustainable Development

“…Sohag et al [10] proposed waste management and it is found to be very efficient over the traditional waste management systems. Samad et al [11] proposed a model to implement IoT in smart homes to manage and control electrical devices from a remote location within a Wi-Fi network. The paper highlighted user-friendly, water conservation for simple and sustainable homes in turn contributes to goal 6 of SDGs.…”

“…The majority of researches which are conducted in the Sciences especially, the Computer Science discipline are of attempts made to build IoT models in the context of building smart homes. A negligible component of Sustainability, Green Smart Homes, Energy Conservation and Water Conservation is considered for instance, [11], [10], [13], [9].…”

Development and Assessment of Internet of Things-Driven Smart Home Security and Automation with Voice Commands

“…In our rapidly evolving digital age, the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a critical smart application for modern security living [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Integrating IoT devices, automation…”

“…IoT 2024, 5 detection, and notification systems with smart home technology offers a comprehensive security solution for everyday activities [8,10,11]. Cost optimization and facilitation are significant benefits provided by IoT-driven transformations for real-time remote-access systems [12] through cellular and Wi-Fi networks [4,6,13]. Integrating mobile access points within an IoT-driven home security system can significantly enhance the system's ability to manage energy resources and maintain robust communication with various sensors and devices.…”

“…By dynamically adjusting to the optimal positions within a home, these mobile access points ensure that the system's throughput is maximized, resulting in a more responsive and energy-efficient security network [14,15]. The integration of IoT technology and internet connectivity enables users to remotely manage and react to smart home security system functions, including appliance control, security monitoring, intrusion alert, and automation lighting control [4,6,12,16].…”
