AUTOMATION SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
This project presents a design and prototype implementation of
new home automation system that uses Wi Fi technology as a
network infrastructure connecting its parts. The proposed system
consists of two main components; the first part is the server (web
server), which presents system core that manages, controls, and
monitors users’ home. Users and system administrator can locally
(LAN) or remotely (internet) manage and control system code.
Second part is hardware interface module, which provides
appropriate interface to sensors and actuator of home automation
system. Unlike most of available home automation system in the
market the proposed system is scalable that one server can manage
many hardware interface modules 5 as long as it exists on Wi Fi
network coverage.
System supports a wide range of home automation devices like
power management components, and security components. The
proposed system is better from the scalability and flexibility point
of view than the commercially available home automation systems.
INTRODUCTION
The project aims at designing an advanced home automation
system using normal web server and Wi-Fi technology. The
devices can be switched ON/OFF and sensors can be read using a
Personal Computer (PC) through Wi-Fi.
Automation is the most frequently spelled term in the field of
electronics. The hunger for automation brought many revolutions
in the existing technologies. These had greater importance than any
other technologies due to its user-friendly nature. These can be
used as a replacement of the existing switches in home which
produces sparks and also results in fire accidents in few situations.
Considering the advantages of Wi-Fi an advanced automation
system was developed to control the appliances in the house.
Wi-Fi (Short for Wireless Fidelity) is a wireless technology that
uses radio frequency to transmit data through the air. Wi-Fi has
initial speeds of 1mbps to 2mbps. Wi-Fi transmits data in the
frequency band of 2.4 GHz. It implements the concept of
frequency division multiplexing technology. Range of Wi-Fi
technology is 40-300 feet. The controlling device for the
automation in the project is a Node MCU esp8266. The data sent
from PC over Wi-Fi will be received by Wi-Fi module connected
Node MCU esp8266. Node MCU esp8266.
