ABSTRACT
IOT systems usually consist of sensing and actuating layers that are made up of sensors such
as passive infrared sensors, also known as motion sensors, smoke sensors, fire sensor and web
cameras for security surveillance. These sensors, smart electrical appliances, and other IoT devices
connect to the Internet through a home gateway and MCU board.
Kitchen Fire Suppression System
These project mainly focus on kitchen automation, as the fire accidents occur. To avoid the
danger ,the alert system ,the splitters and the reduction of combustion are set up. The siren alerts the
people sleeping in the bed rooms as well as the emergency doors open in the hall and the rescue
team gets the alert.
Automatic Mechanical Garage Door
Automatic Garage Door placed in the project. The backyard garage automatically opens
while the car arrives near the garage. These garage doors work by the Carbon Monoxide Detector
which detects by the car which is near to the door. The garage door closes after the car is parked
into the garage.
Automatic door Open System
The door opens while the person gets near the door. This project uses a motion sensor which
senses the energy produced by the human body. When someone gets near the door the owner's
phone gets notification through the url and the owner can see the person by the surveillance camera
near the door. The owner can authorize the door to open or close. These reduce the manpower and
save time.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Problem Statement
● Today people are looking at ways and means to better their life-style using the latest
technologies that area available.
● Any new facility or hope appliance that promises to enhance their life-style is grabbed by
the consumers.
● The more such facilities and appliances are added, it becomes inevitable to have easy and
convenient methods and means to control and operate these appliances.
● Conventional wall switches are located in different parts of a house and thus necessitates
manual operations like to switch on or off these switches to control various appliances.
● It gets virtually impossible to keep track of appliances that are running and also to monitor
their performances.
1.2 Objectives
The purpose of a home automation system is to streamline how your home functions. Consider
some of these benefit Remote access: Control your home from mobile devices, including your
laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
● Comfort: Use home automation to make your home a more comfortable, livable space.
Preprogram your thermostat with your preferred settings so that your home is always at a
comfortable temperature, set up smart speakers to play music when you get home from
work, or adjust your lights to soften or brighten based on the time of day.
● Convenience: Program devices to turn on automatically at certain times, or access their
settings remotely from anywhere with an Internet connection. When you don’t have to
remember to lock the door behind you or switch off the lights, you can turn your attention to
more important things.
● Increased safety: Smart fire detectors, carbon monoxide monitors, pressure sensors, and
other home automation security features can help protect your home from disaster.
● Energy efficiency: Home automation allows you to be more mindful of your power usage.
For example, you can save on energy bills by reducing the length of time that lights stay on,
or by lowering temperatures when you leave a room.
1.3 Motivation
Home Automation has been on the rise in the past few years. Now every things are controlled by
IoT ever-evolving technology, there have been smarter and more advanced solutions in the domain
of home automation. To enhance the standard of living, the appliances need to be wholly automated
without any user intervention in any form whatsoever. This enables the end user hassle-free
interaction with the appliances as the appliances learn and react as per the user's requirements
without him physically pressing a button. Wired sensor systems are more difficult to handle and
also require much amount of wiring the sensors at different locations. Thus, the importance of
wireless sensor node has been on the rise and is a critical factor for efficient implementation of
home automation. Energy saving is one of the significant advantages of automating home
appliances. Thus, the user must be kept aware of the energy consumption of the automated
appliances. In a developing country like India, where people have busy life schedules, providing
efficient energy saving and comfort at low prices and higher efficiency is of utmost importance.
Security of home is must have things because of the security breach in many home these days, if we
have different type of security features we can live a secured life in home.
1.4 Scope
Home Automation is creating new automation technologies for houses that will make them smart
using internet-based technologies. These homes/houses that use home automation technologies are
smart Homes.This field of home automation is fastly emerging in technology making homes safer
and better places to live. These features help users to virtually monitor and control home attributes
like lights, entertainment systems, security, climate control, etc.
CHAPTER 2 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Software requirements
● Cisco Packet Tracer
● MS Office
2.2 Hardware requirements
● Laptop or computer
● Internet connection
CHAPTER 3 TOOL USED
Cisco Packet Tracer
Cisco Packet Tracer is a Cisco proprietary multi-platform tool that enables possibility for
students to create networking and IoT simulations without need of a hardware or preexisting
network. The tool is free of charge, runs on the major operating systems and it is downloadable
from Cisco NetAcad page for all students and teachers having a valid NetAcad account.
Cisco Packet Tracer, main difference to consider when placing the device in the simulations
are the possibly hardware limitations that are coming with the devices, in terms of number of ports
available, options to change the network interfaces, number of expansion slot etc. An extensive list
of switch, server, PC and laptop is also available in the tool.
In special cases, such as the two Smart-Home examples, also a simulation of an internet
connection was used. This connection was aiming to simulate a normal Internet Service Provider
(ISP) connectivity, giving the possibility to the home owner to remotely connect to the own home
network from an external network, such a corporate office or a cellular network. In the second
Smart-Home simulation the ISP was also used to link the home devices to the backend IoT
intelligence as IoT functionalities were provided as-a-service.

7. CONCLUSION
The project has proposed the idea of smart homes that can support a lot of home automation
systems. A smart home contains a connection between wireless communication, sensors,
monitoring and tracking. Smart homes are a huge system that includes multiple technologies and
applications that can be used to provide security and control of the home easily.
This project discussed the designed modules like sensors' circuits, monitoring and tracking of the
home through IP camera, mobile notifications and home navigator.
In order to monitor IOE devices, we used home Gateway to register smart devices and
Microcontroller (MCU) to interconnect different sensors and IOE devices.
MCU also offers different system programming environment, different programming language
available on MCU, but we used python to manage the device.
