IoT based Smart Home design using power and security management

Abstract

The paper presents the design and implementation of an Ethernet-based Smart Home intelligent system for monitoring the electrical energy consumption based upon the real time tracking of the devices at home an INTEL GALILEO 2ND generation development board, which can be used in homes and societies. The proposed system works on real time monitoring and voice control, so that the electrical devices and switches can be remotely controlled and monitored with or without an android based app. It uses various sensors to not only monitor the real time device tracking but also maintaining the security of your house. It is monitored and controlled remotely from an android app using the Internet or the Intranet connectivity. The proposed outcome of the project aims as multiple benefits of saving on electricity bills of the home as well as keep the users updated about their home security with an option of controlling the switching of the devices by using their voice or simple toggle touch on their smartphone, and last but most importantly, monitor the usage in order to conserve the precious natural resources by reducing electrical energy consumption.
