Pi Server Based Door Automation for Security and Monitoring

Abstract

It is expected that the Internet of Things (IoT) applications for home automation services can be one of the most remarkable field for rapid growth. IoT consists of communications and sensors to accomplish purpose. Our research approach is to design and develop reliable, efficient, flexible, economical, real time monitoring system for smart homes. The internet of things technology is deployed into the home environment. By using this technology and video processing techniques, we develop a system, which monitors the video footage of the door, and whenever any person arrives, it automatically sends a tweet to the user if he is outside the door. If he is inside an alarm is raised and the person can unlock the door sitting inside itself. We initiate the research with the development of the smart home approach and implement it in different home conditions (different houses) to monitor the activity of visitors for door automation. Additionally, our research extends the smart home system to smart buildings and models the design issues related to the smart building environment; these design issues are linked with system performance and reliability.
