A zigbee-based home automation system

In recent years, the home environment has seen a rapid introduction of network enabled digital
technology. This technology offers new and exciting opportunities to increase the connectivity of devices
within the home for the purpose of home automation. Moreover, with the rapid expansion of the Internet,
there is the added potential for the remote control and monitoring of such network enabled devices.
However, the adoption of home automation systems has been slow. This paper identifies the reasons for
this slow adoption and evaluates the potential of ZigBee for addressing these problems through the
design and implementation of a flexible home automation architecture. A ZigBee based home automation
system and Wi-Fi network are integrated through a common home gateway. The home gateway provides
network interoperability, a simple and flexible user interface, and remote access to the system. A
dedicated virtual home is implemented to cater for the system's security and safety needs. To
demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed system, four devices, a light switch, radiator
valve, safety sensor and ZigBee remote control have been developed and evaluated with the home
automation system.

System based on ZigBee System based on ZigBee sensor networks to make home networks more
intelligent and automatic. In ZigBee technology an end node, the node sends data to the coordinator, and
the coordinator Hub sends the data back to the terminal end of the loop. Since all devices have their own
IP Address based on IPv6, they can be directly connected to an external network. So, all smart devices It
can not only through the handheld remote control device to the central and local home, but can also be
controlled remote computer control through the introduction of home Internet Gateway machine. The
application of Zigbee is where, we require, low data rate, low power consumption, low cost, security and
reliability. Zigbee is used in several field like medical, industry automation, home automation Vital
Monitoring includes Heart-rate Monitoring Body heat Monitoring Personal equipment, control Consumer
Electronic include Remote control PC- peripheral Control of windows roll/shades etc. Dimmer/ switches
Alarm And security system include Smoke detector Water leakage alarm. The advantage of Zigbee home
automation is, it low power consumption device and very less time consuming system. Zigbee home
automation make home safe and comfortable. Home automation takes less time to finish a task and also
makes the work simpler. The wireless range of Zigbee is good enough for home automation. The range of
Zigbee is100to300feetapprox. The overall system cost is very low as compare to other. The cost is
dependent on advancement of system. The limitation of the Zigbee home automation is If there any
damage due to rupturing of cable the entire system get crashed and If he/she doest use the correct keys
to perform the operations, human errors may occurs . In very rare case, the reliability of home automated
device is decreases.

GSM-BASED HOME INTRUSION DETECTION DEVICE USING SMS MESSAGING IN REPORTING

INTRUSIONS TO SECURITY ADMINISTRATOR

MAPUA

The GSM-Based Home Intrusion Detection Device is a security device that sends a text message to the
owners mobile number in case of home intrusion. This is to warn and notify the owner of an impending
attack. It is used when the owner is outside the house, or even when asleep. The device uses a GSM
modem which requires a SIM card to send SMS messages. The device is activated once the door or
window is opened and it automatically sends a text message to the security administrator. The device
improves the effectiveness to which possible incidents of intrusion and robbery are reported to security
administrators when he is away from home through long distance communication using GSM technology.
It bridges the gap between the security device and its administrator when the latter is away.

The main objective of this design was to integrate long distance communication with home security in
reporting possible incidents of intrusion and robbery to the security administrator when he is away from
home through the use of GSM technology. Specifically, this included: 1. Creating a device that triggers
when doors and windows are forcibly opened; 2. Using GSM technology in sending notifications to the
security administrators mobile number notifying him of a possible intruder to home; 3. Measuring the time
it takes before the intrusion notification is received by the security administrator relative to the normal
sending of SMS messages using a mobile phone. The GSM-Based Home Intrusion Detection Device is
made up of a control circuit, an LCD monitor, a numeric keypad, and a GSM module. Its microcontroller
stores the owners mobile number which the user inputs using the numeric keypad. The device would
send a text message to this number notifying the receiver of an intrusion. The device uses a GSM modem
which requires a SIM card to send text messages. The device is placed adjacent to possible entries of
intrusion, such as doors and windows. A microswitch is used to detect intrusion once the door or window
is opened and it immediately sends a text message. Here are the step-by-step procedures in constructing
the design: 1. Gather all necessary data and information needed for the design of the system. This
includes information about the problem to be solved, the solution to the problem, the concept of the
design, the software needed, the components to be used, etc. 2. Purchase all the materials needed for
the assembly of the design. 3. Create the circuit design and PCB design. 4. Code the software. The
source code is found at Appendix C. Compile. 5. Burn the PIC16F877A with the generated hex file. 6.
Connect all the necessary components to the microcontroller such as resistors, capacitors,
microswitches, keypad, LCD monitor, crystal oscillator, and the GSM module. 7. Test all parts of the
design. Conduct troubleshooting to verify the output of the design. 8. Construct the final casing of the
design. The GSM-Based Home Intrusion Detection Device integrates long distance communication with
home security in reporting possible incidents of intrusion and robbery when the owner is away from home
using GSM technology. It bridges the gap between the security device and its administrator in this case
the owner, when he is away. This device triggers when possible entries of intrusion and robbery such as
doors and windows are entered forcibly or trespassed. It uses GSM technology to send an SMS message
to the security administrators mobile number notifying him of possible intrusion to his home. The device is
capable of sending SMS messages with the same speed as sending SMS messages on a mobile phone.
