IOT Based Smart Home and Prediction of Energy Consumption

Abstract

In early days the concept of Internet of Things (IOT) was focused on industrial automation only. But as the technology evolves people use IOT in different areas like commercial, health, residential and transportation. It helps to bring all individual devices on a common platform so that controlling and monitoring of individual device from centralized system is possible. Smart home system proves the IOT concept very finely. A home can be called as smart if it is remotely controlled and monitored, automated, secure and where home appliances are smart enough to change their status. This paper presents an Android mobile application implementation of smart home and prediction of electricity energy consumption which uses Wi-Fi and GSM as a communication media to communicate with Beagle Bone Black, the central processing system and for data analysis simple linear regression analysis is used. Smart home system is mainly concerned with the Automation and Security followed further with energy management and prediction of electricity energy consumption.
