Global home automation market is estimated to grow from USD 16, 879.9 million in 2011 to USD 47,378.2 million in 2018 at a CAGR of 15.8% from 2011 to 2018.

In India, it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 30% over the 5 years till 2016.

To fuel India's growth and rapidly expanding industrial production, productivity and quality improvement are essential. This makes modernization and automation essential.

With applications such as security, lighting and energy management likely to play an important role in achieving this significant growth rate.

But the idea of giving them interoperability using a common “language”, or intergrating different modules brings a new concept of a home network full of possibilities.

• 24 hour surveillance over property. • Motion detector

• Night lamps for elderly people and children

guide their way during night. • Automatic Sprinklers save laborious work. • Automatic outdoor lights switch on when it

gets dark and off at dawn. • Gas leak sensor and Water overflow sensor

help to keep check. • Automatic Garage door • Video intercom.

• By development of standard-based technologies that can be integrated into existing communications/utility infrastructure of modern homes, will result in lower cost systems that eliminate the need for bulky hardware and cabling.

• Our objective is to develop this system using Open Source.

Homeland security

Accessibility

Energy saving

Convenience

We choose different control systems on the basis of necessity and relevance :

• Outdoor Lighting and Night lamps - Outdoor lights switch on and off automatically when its dusk and

dawn break respectively.

• Automatic Garage Door Opener - Using Number Plate Recognition System – Camera recognizes the

owner’s car number plate before opening the garage door.

• Automatic Sprinklers - Sprinklers get on and off automatically by sensing

the soil humidity and temperature.

• Security and Surveillance - Front door Camera, Motion Detector security.

• Air Conditioner control - Control A.C from a remote controller from any distance.

BeagleBoard-xm: The USB-powered BeagleBoard is a low-cost, fan-less single

board computer/CPU that unleashes laptop-like performance and expandability without the bulk, expense, or noise of typical desktop machines.

Arduino: Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform

based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. ZigBee: ZigBee is a specification for a suite of high level communication

protocols (wireless) used to create personal area networks built from small,

low-power digital radios.

We interface each individual the automatic hardware to the Beagleboard via Hi-speed Communication protocols like Ethernet, Zigbee wireless module.

Linux: Linux is an Open Soure Operating system. We build control applications

on this platform which will act as the User Interface. To make handling user-friendly we interface Beagleboard with a Touchscreen.

Garden sprinklers

Lighting control: - Whole house - Outdoors - Night emergency

Air conditioner control

• Automatic dustbin • Gas leakage & water overflow control • Intercomm • Multi room audio • Code based door lock system

Beagleboard

Communication via zigbee, ethernet

Garage door opener

1. Beagleboard development

We boot linux/ubuntu image over the beagleboard.

Using various Open source tools, we Create User applications in linux using C/C++.

For communication among the Control modules, Zigbee and Ethernet Is used. They provide high-speed Communiation.

2. Hardware development

To run hardwares, like sprinkler valve Control and Garge door motor, we use ARDUINO micro-controller.

Methodology

3. Integration :

• Each hardware control unit i.e Garage door Lighting Sprinkler Security Camera • Is then integrated to the Beagleboard via communication protocols, Ethernet and Zigbee.

• Beagleboard has a very fast processor to give us results in real –time. • Overall capital required to build the prototype – 40,000 INR • Cost involves:- Beagleboard + Touchscreen Arduino, Hardwares (garage shutter material, Sprinklers, motors)

- Household activities become Easier and nothing much to worry about. - Homeland Security is an issue of great importance. Home Automation takes care of property while the owner is away. -

- Generates employment.

It speeds up the developmental processes of the society.

- Check on Energy consumption.

- Distance reduction through technological advancements in the field of communication network.

- Affordability - building

this system using Open Source will bring the cost down.

Impact

Relevancy & Cost : • Not all the systems are relevant

for all households in India. Although, we aim at engulfing as many modules like Pool & Spa, media entertainment related systems keeping cost and demand in mind.

• Presently, the cost of Home

automation Products is very high. We aim at making Home

Automation accessible to middle class as well.

• Study of site : stand-alone

houses, apartment, office

• User-friendly interface:

The system must not be difficult for the consumer to operate on.

• Durability: The system must be flexible to meet demands for its expansion when the site is altered in future.

• Reliable: Fool-proof motion

detection security and surveillance.
