An IOT Approach for designing home automation technique

Abstract

In this paper, we are 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. Using this, we can control home appliances connected through a monitor based internet. Raspberry Pi operates and controls motion sensors and video cameras for sensing and surveillance. For instance, it captures intruder's identity and detects its presence using simple Computer Vision Technique (CVT). Whenever motion is detected, the cameras will start recording and Raspberry Pi device alerts the owner through an SMS and alarm call.

Automation or automatic control means the use of various control systems for operating equipment. Home automation is exciting field when it is blow up with new technologies like Internet of Things (IoT). It is automation of the home, housework or household activity. Proposed implementation of home automation include centralized control of lighting, heating, ventilation and it is fully control by using any smart phone through the particular android application. The main advantage of this is small device can be part of internet so it is easy to communicate, manage and control without human interferences.
