Abstract:
Smart energy consumption and power measurement are some of the most important
concerns in the recent era. Here an IoT based solution is provided to redeem the concept
of over-power consumption. The main purpose of this paper is to focus on devising an
intelligent energy-efficient home automation technology that can detect human presence.
By detecting the presence of a person, it can turn on or off any of the lights and fans.
Here, the distance between the human and the object is taken into concern. According to
the distance, only the closest light fan will turn on automatically and others will remain
off. The reduction in energy costs is the most important part of this paper. The total
amount of energy is calculated on a daily basis. If the cost is more than the expectation,
the device automatically turns off a certain fan or light for a certain time. Also, the
temperature is taken into a concern to control the electrical devices. The amount of
energy can be easily compared which is spent in a month by using this device and
without using this device.
Description:
The Internet of Things (IOT) describes the concept of remotely linking and manipulating
real world objects (things) via the Internet. After coming it to our house, this idea makes
our life smarter, safer and automated. Domestic mechanization includes consolidation of
unavoidable computing methods to be connected with the electro powered devices and its
surrounding environments. This interactive communication among human and machines is
encouraged either by the utilization of a sensory device or by joining distinctive modalities
of interaction including examination of human discourse [1], motion diversity[2],
computer-vision[3] and behavior of human[4]. Smart home automation is not so popular
yet because of nontechnical person and high cost. But our project is user friendly and less
expensive. Everyone can use this because the functionality is totally automated. We use
Arduino for the measurement of daily energy cost. We also show how much energy we can
save per month.
