Abstract - In recent times, the Internet of Things has
RealNET comprises of 5 system modules: 1. Couriers Automated 2. Smart Plant 3. Door Open Alert 4. Gas Leak Alert 5. Smart Trash
This article explores the applications which Internet of Things finds in everyday life. Raspberry Pi was chosen as the enabler to achieve the same. Raspberry Pi allowed customizing homes and surroundings so as to introduce Internet of Things to the current scenario. The modules in the project (which is named RealNET: Internet of Real Things) automate certain daily activities like acceptance of a courier, incorporate safety features such as notifying gas leaks and burglaries, implement a Smart Trash Can –which empties itself automatically when full and a Tweeting Plant – which waters itself when dry and simultaneously tweets its status. The project as a whole brings about safety and convenience in the lives of people. But more importantly, it is the data generated by the project over a period of time, which will be very useful. This data will help in identifying geography based patterns in safety hazards, burglaries and trash generation which would aid in bringing about necessary process and infrastructure changes.
With the rise of e-commerce, the number of couriers and home deliveries have been increasing. But a lot of times, we miss important parcels and deliveries due to various reasons. It would become very convenient if our homes start authenticating and accepting couriers in our absence as it would save us from all the trouble involved in recovering the missed delivery. Couriers Automated is a module in RealNET which satisfactorily performs this task.
garnered a lot of importance and is predicted to be more revolutionary than the introduction of computers or even the advent of the Internet. Internet of Things is set to affect the homes of people, their mobility, their neighborhood and their living forever.
There are a lot of times when there isn’t anybody at home or there are times when we go on a vacation. During all such times we leave our house and all our precious belongings within, unattended. The concept of the doors of our homes or those of the lockers in the banks, etc. being smart enough to communicate with us whenever they are opened is very unique and will go a long way in protecting thefts. This is the motivation behind the Door Open Alert module which notifies the owner whenever the door, which they choose, is opened.
Our project was implemented, it was fully tested and the performance was found satisfactory.
Internet of Things can be effectively used to save people from potential threats like in the case of a gas leakage and can be used to very easily notify the people, their neighbors and the related rescue officials. Gas Leak Alert is a system module aimed at providing safety to householders and factory workers by lessening the impact of a gas leak.

1. INTRODUCTION
Social media usage has increased over the past few years and is becoming increasingly common amongst people of all ages. However the objects around us are not yet pulled into this web of social media. Smart Plant is a module, which introduces the plants around us to the world of Twitter. People who are very particular about their plants’ health no longer need to worry when they can’t directly monitor them The Smart Plant system will take care of the plant autonomously and the plant will post its well-being on Twitter.
1.1 Overview The Internet of Things (IoT) is an environment in which objects, animals or people are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. [1]Over the next decade, the Internet of Things is poised to change the way we go about our daily lives with projections of over [2] 50 billion connected devices by 2020, compared to the 18 billion devices today.

In this age of smart phones, smart devices and smart cars, our project aims at making the dumb trash-cans smart. Once a trash-can gets full, it will automatically go to the community
