Home automation - SMART HOME
- 1. SMART HOME
- 2. What is Smart Home ? ➲ A home equipped with lighting , heating and electronic devices that can be remotely controlled by phone or computer ➲ It is one of the application of smart technologies with in our home, in creating a comfortable home and an effective lifestyle; ➲ It Improves automation control and monitoring of household devices and connect via standard means of communication for its operations
- 3. Features of SmartHome Few of the features include but limited to : ➲ Home Security systems ➲ Controlled Exterior & Interior Lighting ➲ Automatic window and curtain ➲ Automatic Garage Door ➲ Distributed Entertainment Systems(Audio/video Systems) ➲ Intercom/Telecomy Systems ➲ Home Energy Management Systems
- 4. History of SmartHome ➲ The Smart Home's history can be easily traced back to the early turn of the century, where electrical and telephone wiring were installed in new houses ➲ Integrated smart home infrastructure was usuaully build by hobbyists in the 1960s, But it was not until 1984 the term smart home was coined by the American Asssociation of Home Builders (www.Ehow.com) ➲ General Electric Company was one of the first pioneers to develop a series of products made for smart homes in the mid 60's these products includes automatic dishwasher and microwaves
- 5. How Smart Home work ? ➲ Sensors: Measures/Detects temperature daylight and motion ➲ Controllers: Voice , remote control , tablet and smartphone ➲ Actuators: Motorized Valves,Light switches and motors ➲ Buses: Wired or wireless Communication ➲ Interfaces: Human Machine or Machine-Machine Interaction ➲ Protocols: X10, Insteon, zigbee & Zwave
- 6. Smart Home Systems ➲ Home Network Encompasses communication entertainment,security,and information systems. ➲ Powerline Carrier Systems: It is a technology which is used to send coded signals along a home's existing electric wiring to programmable switches or outlets ➲ These signals conveys commands that corresponds to locations of specific devices and that control how and when those devices operate ➲ PCS transmitter can send the signals along a homes wiring ➲ Receiver Plugged into any electric outlet in home could receive the signal and operate the appliance to which it is attached
- 7. Smart Home Technology All the appliances and devices are receivers, and the means of controlling the system, such as remote controls or keypads, are transmitters. If you want to turn off a lamp in another room, the transmitter will issue a message in numerical code that includes the following: • An alert to the system that it's issuing a command, • An identifying unit number for the device that should receive the command • A code that contains the actual command, such as "turn off."
- 8. Protocols for smart home Technology ➲ X10:- It is a common protocol for PCS. It is a signaling technique for remotely controlling any device plugged into an electrical power line . ➲ X10 signals involves short radio frequency bursts that represent digital information, enable communication between transmitters and receivers . ➲ This Embedded control protocol for digital communication between smart devices consists of a two-wire bus line that is installed along with normal electrical wiring
- 9. Z-WAVE ➲ Z-Wave uses a Source Routing Algorithm to determine the fastest route formessages. Each Z-Wave device is embedded with a code, and when the device is plugged into the system, the network controller recognizes the code, determines its location and adds it to the network. When a command comes through, the controller uses the algorithm to determine how the message should be sent ➲ This Routing takes can takeup a lot of memory on a network ➲ Zwave has developed a hirerachy between devices.some controller inititate messages and some are slaves which mean they can only carry and respond to messages.

- 11. ZIGBEE PROTOCOL ZigBee's name illustrates the mesh networking concept because messages from the transmitter zigzag like bees, looking for the best path to the receiver. While Z-Wave usesa proprietary technology for operating its system, ZigBee's platform is based on the standard set by the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for wireless personalnetworks. This means any company can build a ZigBee-compatible product without paying licensing fees for the technology behind it

- 13. InsteonInsteon ➲ Using a wireless network provides more flexibility for placing devices, but like electrical lines, they might have interference. Insteon offers a way for your home network to communicate over both electrical wires and radio waves, making it a dual mesh network. If the message isn't getting through on one platform, it will try the other. Instead of routing the message, an Insteon device will broadcast the message, and all devices pick up the message and broadcast it until the command is performed. The devices act like peers, as opposed to one serving as an instigator and another as a receptor. This means that the more Insteon devices that are installed on a network, the stronger the message will be

- 16. Smart Home Advantages ➲ Smart homes obviously have the ability to make life easier and more convenient. Home networking can also provide peace of mind. Whether you're at work or on vacation, the smart home will alert you to what's going on, and security systems can be built to provide animmense amount of help in an emergency. For example, not only would a resident be woken with notification of a fire alarm, the smart home would also unlock doors, dial the fire department and light the path to safety. ➲ Smart home technology promises tremendous benefits for an elderly person living alone. Smart homes could notify the resident when it was time to take medicine, alert the hospital if the resident fell and track how much the resident was eating
- 17. Disadvantages ➲ Cost – Most families are able to purchase smart home products, but that doesn’t mean it won’t leave a dent in your wallet. You can purchase the products one at a time and it won’t seem like too much, $50 here, $300 there, but by the time you have the smart home system you want, you will likely have spent a larger sum than you would have if you had purchased non-smart products.
- 18. Disadvantages ➲ Slight Learning Curve – ➲ I know I stated in the advantages that most smart home systems are actually very easy to use, but at the same time there is still somewhat of a learning curve for most people. For anyone already immersed in technology, converting your smart home will be a breeze, but for anyone not so tech savvy, it may make for a lot of time spent reading manuals. ➲ If you think you might have trouble learning how to use a smart home device, the answer may be simple. Ask for help! Asking someone to show you how to run your smart home can far less confusing than trying to make heads or tails of an instruction manual.
- 19. Installation costs ➲ The cost of smart home process if you were going to install from the foundation level would be around $2000 - $5000 depending how big and what type of wiring system you are using. ➲ Example Intercom System Wiring: $200 Room: Cabling For 7.1 and Projector Cost: $500 Alfresco: Cabling for 1 pair of Speakers: $100 Ducted Vac: Rough in only of pipes and 3 points: $1,000

- 23. Conculusion ➲ Keeping in mind that technology is rapidly changing, it is important to recognize how technology is changing how we function within our households. It is estimated that in the next 10 years 90% of new homes with come equipped with some form of networking, programming and automation. The future home is a “SMART HOME”
