Universal Central Control of Home Appliances as an Expanding Element of the Smart Home Concepts — Case Study on Low Cost Smart Solution

Abstract

Part 7: NetworkingInternational audienceWith the development of the electronic appliances, there is an increase in the usage of the so called Smart Homes concept. Nowadays, many standards and technologies exist which enable the control of the related home appliances. However, the common devices that support only the handeling via a controller on the basis of infrared transfer are not possible to be operated by these systems. In practical environment, the suggested solution is able to replace the function of such controllers and enable the user to operate the given devices using a website application that is available for example through a smartphone. The part of the solution is the interface for the connection of the application to current Smart Home systems and an intelligent recognition and an automatisation of user’s actions with controllers. The result of the implementation is a functional prototype

A Review: Design of Smart Home Electrical Management System Based on IoT

“…Based on the results of a literature review, success rate electrical energy consumption obtained in table 1 18% kWh/day [13] 61.36% kWh/Month [4] 80% success rate [14] 10% kWh/day [10] Table 1 shows the success rate of implementing SHEMS. The success rate is based on the amount of energy consumption before and after the implementation of SHEMS.…”

“…A sensor is the part of IoT Perception Layer which can be used to changing information from connected devices to analog signals. In implementation of SHEMS there are several studies that combine more than one sensor for smart home energy management system such like, temperature and humidity sensor for controlling air conditioner [15], temperature and humidity sensor using for different region [16], temperature and humidity sensor for controlling fan [17], PIR sensor for control lights by detecting the heat from occupants moving [4], Light Sensor [17], Meters Sensor [18], Sound sensor [19], Infrared sensor [14].…”

“…Boiler [13], [16] TV [13], [14], [16] Cameras for security, Electric Clothes Dryer, Coffee Machine, Microwave, Blender, LCD Monitor, Well Pump (1/3-1 HP), Clothes Dryer, Washing machine, Vacum cleaner [16] Table 2 shows about several types of home appliances that are monitored and controlled using smartphone and various sensor via SHEMS.…”

“…Manually controlling system via a smartphone using Infra Red (IR). [14] Two manual control systems using Wifi for indoor controllers and using GSM modules for control from outside the home.…”

The Present State of Home Automation: A Systematic Literature Review

“…The development of home automation systems with a proper balance between usability, user experience, performance, and security can be challenging [12] [27]. Smart homes have a wide variety of users in different age groups [14], and because of the age group diversity, developers have to level down the differences in people's interaction with IoT.…”
