Improvements in home automation strategies for designing apparatus for efficient smart home

A Utility Interactive Electricity Generation Schemes with Renewable Resources

“…For this purpose the PV panel is fixed with four photo sensors kept at corners and another one kept at the center [8,9]. The voltages of sensors are read by microprocessor and those from that of orthogonal directions are compared and the orientation of the panel is adjusted by stepper motors as to minimize the error signals.…”

Integrated Wireless Technologies for Smart Homes Applications

“…They could be controlled easily from any place in the house by switching them ON or OFF from rooms in the house (Balasubramanian, 2008). The remote control and monitoring of these appliances can be performed remotely via the Internet or GSM mobile phones.…”

“…For example, in locations where the sun shines most of the year, it is advisable to have solar panels installed on its roof. In other locations where you have windy climate, it is advisable to have wind turbines installed in garden (Balasubramanian, 2008). By monitoring the environmental conditions inside and outside the house and the current home load condition, decisions can be made how to use the generated electricity.…”

Real-Time Recognition Non-Intrusive Electrical Appliance Monitoring Algorithm for a Residential Building Energy Management System

“…Notable among them is SG [11] with integrated home automation networks (HAN) [12]. With such a system, building an energy management system utilizes real time price information to schedule loads to minimize energy consumption bills and provide economic incentive by participating in the DR market.…”
