IoT Based Comprehensive Autonomous Home Automation and Security System Using M2M Communication

Abstract

Background: In the era of Internet of Things (IoT) automation of home and security systems was becoming remarkably easy. Many research works have been also conducted to bring the most convenient way of automating the home appliances and security systems but insignificant research has been carried out in providing the most comprehensive and autonomous or self-controlled home automation. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive solution to mitigate the existing need. End users can interact with household appliances in a variety of means irrespective of platforms used and their geographical location through smartphone application developed. Using their speech as input users can also operate the electrical appliances via voice commands. In addition to the mobile application and voice command, by integrating some cloud services an attractive web interface would be provided as another alternative for better data presentation and analysis. The autonomous feature would allow the home to monitor and control its environment by itself through installed sensors, sharing data into one another and taking a relevant measurement without a need for human intervention Method: In order to achieve those performances the work will deploy an MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) messaging protocol to enable the modules easily communicates one another. Results: Multiple alternative means of controlling and interacting with home appliances was provided. Both autonomous mode and safe mode features would make the system to behave and run autonomously. Conclusion: The paper also embraces the presentation for an application of multiway, cross-platform and user oriented home automation and security system as well as convenient means of controlling and monitoring household electrical appliances.
