Abstract

Currently, due to the widespread population growth, there is a widespread concern about an electricity shortage. As a result, smart devices have evolved and gained significant attention to reduce power consumption in home appliances due to electricity shortages. However, it lacks a universal remote control that can control home appliances based on environmental conditions. To overcome these challenges, this study proposed a hardware-based remote-control system that operates both in autonomous and semiautonomous modes to control home appliances based on environmental conditions. In the autonomous mode, the receiver section regulates the parameters under ambient conditions by varying the appliance’s applied voltage levels via a dimmer. The parameters in semiautonomous are monitored by the user via various levels of remote control. A 2.4 GHz RF modem is used to establish wireless personal network (WPAN) communication between the remote and the receiver. In addition, a Wi-Fi modem is built into the receiver to enable internet-based mobile applications to operate appliances. During the MATLAB analysis, a proportional integral derivative (PID) controller with a particle swarm optimization (PSO) method was found as a superior approach to control the home appliance with adequate environmental conditions. It is concluded from the MATLAB study that the PSO-PID controller delivered an energy saving of 14.88% for the heater, 36.9% for the exhaust fan, and 37.49% for the light bulb compared to the conventional appliances.
