Intelligent System for Office Environment Using Internet of Things

Abstract

This Internet of Things is the interconnection of everyday objects with each other via the Internet of computing devices embedded in them, enabling them to send and receive data. This paper presents the design of smart office systems for controlling, monitoring and automation of electrical appliances depending on the entry and exit of the individual employee into the workspace. This design also simultaneously maintains and monitors the information in the cloud about the entry and exit timings, number of cabins electrified and electricity usage of the employees using the RFID tags scans at the entry point of the office, It also allows and assists the employees to control and monitor his cabin electricity status through a smartphone. The Intelligent system for office environment project mainly focuses on the use of convenience for the users and to save electricity. To optimize office administrative management, a webpage is created which gives the administrative management the information about how many cabins. The equipment used for this is RC522 reader which is a Radio Frequency Identification system (RFID) which will send the data to the raspberry pi which controls the office environment using IoT. A mobile phone application is designed which works by integrating the concoction of both IoT and the RFID system to monitor and control the devices through the application ‘MQTT’ which remotely gives the flexibility to the users.
