Home Automation System Analysis

Abstract The Home Automation Profile supports a various of devices for the home along with lighting, heating and cooling, and widely accepted for multiple needs. It is the automatic or semi-automatic control and monitoring of household appliances and residential house features like doors, gate and even the windows. Hence the Home Automation profile allow a greater range of control and integration of different devices in the home by automatic. These systems use PC, mobile internet, GSM Bluetooth and ZigBee network etc.Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and ZigBee are the popular choice for such systems. The zigbee can receive the voice and send the voice data to the ARM9 controller and then the controller converts the voice into required format
This is a demonstration of how to design and build a multi-purpose wireless system that can switch OFF and ON any electrical household appliance depending on the voice produced by the user. Home automation is one of the major growing industries that can change the way people live. Some of these home automation systems target those seeking luxury and sophisticated home automation platforms; others target those with special needs like the elderly and the disabled. The aim of the reported Wireless Home Automation System (WHAS) is to provide those with special needs with a system that can respond to voice commands and control the on/off status of electrical devices, such as lamps, fans, television etc, in the home. The system should be reasonably cheap, easy to configure, and easy to run. There have been several commercial and research projects on smart homes and voice recognition systems. Many new communication technologies such as GSM/GPRS networks, wireless sensor networks, Bluetooth, power line carriers and the Internet have been applied to home automation. For example, wireless sensor networks based on ZigBee protocol is widely used in smart homes and it has become the focus in this field. It consists of comfort and home automation, security and safety at home, ambient assistance (intelligence) and remote health
Figure 1 shows an integrated platform for home security, monitoring and automation (SMA) from uControl. The system is a 7-inch touch screen that can wirelessly be connected to security alarms and other home appliances. The home automation through this system requires holding and interacting with a large panel which constraints the physical movements of the user. Another popular commercially available system for home automation is from Home Automated Living (HAL). HAL software taps the power of an existing PC to control the home. It provides speech command interface. A big advantage of this system is it can send
