Abstract: Ever since the beginning of automation technology the need of automating homes has always been a focal point of much attention along with the introduction of IoT which connects a wide range of electronic devices over the internet and allows them to share data and communicate. Home automation with IoT is a rapidly growing field in a bid to provide solutions for smart homes, many big tech giants are now increasing their stakes in this field. Existing home automation models are plagued with problems such as high costs, limited wireless capacity, and poor user interface. This paper provides a review on a cost-effective Home automation system with a web page-based user interface and cloud data storage facility. To achieve this, we will assemble Internet of things and cloud networking along with Intel Galileo microcontroller board to provide user control of appliances in his house over the internet and store data on the cloud server which can be accessed anytime. This review paper would help understand IOT, and its use in home automation Keywords: Home Automation system (HAS), Internet of things (IoT), Cloud networking, Intel Galileo microcontroller, Smart home (SH).
1. INTRODUCTION With the advancement in recent technology, the demand for automation in homes has risen steadily. Home automation means automating the operation of all devices/appliances/systems to suit the needs of the people living there. It provides cost-effective living with safety, comfort, convenience, and entertainment. Smart homes are an integral part of smart cities. IoT has a large number of applications including smart homes. It is a network of sensors, software, actuators, micro-controllers that communicate with each other over the internet. Our research focuses on developing a wireless home automation system, backed by IoT, which can be monitored online, while also storing the data on a cloud server, accessible on mobile/laptop. An Intel Galileo chipset with a built-in Wi-Fi card port, providing Wi-Fi connectivity are used, and all sensors are connected to the chip. This setup can be assembled for Rs.7500 and can be modified by adding an intercom hub, CCTV, Video doorbell, smart garage doors, etc., as per the customer needs.
2. CURRENT TREND IN HOME AUTOMATION Home automation is a relatively new concept in India and faces issues such as high cost of installation and maintenance, inflexibility, poor management and knowledge, and lack of sufficient safety. The main objective is to design and test a HAS prototype model that is capable of automating, controlling, and monitoring most of the systems and devices used in homes, while also being cost efficient, and safe. The system will allow the user to control all appliances in the home, over internet. This will decrease the installation cost, and will increase the operability and maintainability of the system configuration. In recent years, the use of Wireless systems, like Wi-Fi in home automation systems, has become increasingly common due to its obvious advantages over wired systems, all connected to a common board. Wireless systems are cheaper to install and provide system scalability, upgradability, and extension to the SH, while also eliminating complex wired connections and can be monitored remotely over a network, using the internet.
