Intelligent Energy Efficient Embedded Home Automation System

Abstract

Automation is the technique, method or system of operating or controlling a process by highly automatic means, as by electronic devices, reducing human intervention to a minimum. An automated home appears "intelligent" because its computer systems can monitor so many aspects of daily living. We are living in the era where automation is playing important role in human life. Home automation allows us to control household appliances like light, door, window, fan etc. Home automation not only refers to reduce human efforts but also energy efficiency and time saving. The main objective of home automation is to help handicapped and old aged people which will enable them to control home appliances and alert them in critical situations. This paper put forwards the design of home automation system using simple components like Arduino uno and conventional sensors. The design is based on a standalone embedded system at home. The home appliances are connected to the embedded system and their status is controlled by arduino. We would develop an authenticated system to control the home appliances. Scalable energy usage and less modification is much important. It presents the design and implementation of automation system.
