Paper Details

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the future of networking that allows connection between physical and virtualworld in highly unified and increasingly useful ways. The use IoT devices is to control and monitor the electrical,mechanical and electromechanical appliances used in many applications (e.g. industrial, offices, institutions, orresidential). Today, the home automation area offers timer control and remote control for embedded systems andelectronic devices such as light, heating, entertainment systems, ventilation, appliances, etc., to improve comfort,convenience, security and energy efficiency. However, the element of autonomous behaviour is lacking, this is where thesmart homes come into picture. The categorization is done by the controlling mechanism through remote controls. Thesedevices crave the user to be within the premises in order to operate the equipments. Applications such as Bluetooth,Radio, and other devices are coming in the vicinity or spectrum. In this project, the system uses android smart-phones asan interface for remotely controlling electronic appliances for home automation. Android platform being open-source,secure and ability for more user-friendly environment. System comprises of an ARM7 (LPC2148) hardware boards thatconnects the sensors and all electronic home appliances to automate control through remote controller. In addition tothe android based user interface, the system is also integrated with a speech recognition system in order to accept voicecommands from users to control appliances.
