Abstract
The paper depicts design and prototypic implementation of household automation switching system for electrical appliances using web based interface technology. The proposed system consists of two parts, the first part is the hardware module, which provides appropriate interface to switches of home appliances. Second part is the software component that comprises the user control interface which monitors and controls energy consuming units in the household. Users and system administrator can locally (LAN) or remotely (WAN) control system code to activate or deactivate a desired appliance. The outcome of the study revealed that the smart household switch engendered substantial reduction in energy consumption on all kinds of appliance and it poses no threat to security of lives and properties. The device is desirable for conservation and efficient use of energy. Keyword : smart switch, remote control, energy efficiency, household appliances
Highlights
Smart home technology generally refers to any suite of devices, appliances, or systems that connect into a common network that can be independently and remotely controlled
A global system for mobile (GSM) based home automation system (HAS) can control in-home appliances by sending SMS to an HAS placed in home environment via GSM modem which interfaced with switching module through a microcontroller
GSM-related monitoring and control systems have been implemented in the past for automation of irrigation water controller system, management of digital energy meter, highway vehicle traffic monitoring system and others, incorporating several wonderful features
Summary
The main thrust of this study is control of electrical and electronic components of household appliances. The devices to be controlled are interfaced with Arduino microcontroller unit through switches relay and con-. All home appliances are connected to the device for ubiquitous control via android phone that have the application software installed with the right API key. A study of Figure 6, the result obtained from computational analysis of energy consumption in a typical home setting with and without the smart switch. The results revealed how the energy consumption of appliances in the home reduces drastically when connected to the smart switch.
