- 2. HOME AUTOMATION • Home Automation means making of a smart home using many automation techniques. • The automation techniques which can be used for the same are PLC, raspberry pi, Arduino(majorly for prototypes) and many more. • Smart home is the home which is completely designed based on the user’s needs such as making of coffee in the morning as soon as the user wakes up and then turning on the toast machine for the breakfast.
- 3. SMART HOME Smart home comprises of the following things : • Smart security system, like if the user is alone at home and if anyone comes around the house(like in the entrance area) all the lights should go on and a message to the user and to user’s closed relatives(registered on the system) is sent. Furthermore the door locks are also into this system which records all the activities of complete day i.e. who all have entered the house and with which sort of means( means can be bio-metric lock, card, keys, or passcode). • Smart home is also known for its increasing efficiency in power consuming which is, when no human i.e. no movement detected in the room the lights should go off automatically. • The equipments of the smart home are connected to IOT which leads to users comfort. For example if the user is approaching the home so before approaching the house he/she turns on the Air conditioner so that when he/she reaches the home is at the desired temperature.

If the natural light is less than 40%, lights adjust to 60% and so on. This help for when shades are drawn, or on a cloudy day in the middle of the summer. • Using the room music system itself as the alarm system i.e. we can set at what time we want to wake up and the music system can play our favourite song to awake us. • If the user is deaf, the house lighting will be have as the door bell i.e if anyone press the door bell switch instead of the bell ringing the lights start blinking and user gets to know that he/she has guest. • If there is a leakage detected in the house the user is gets the notification regarding the same so that he/she can turn off the main valves.
- 5. HOW CAN WE ACHIEVE THE ABOVE NEEDS USING PLC • PLC (Programmable logic controller) have digital input and output modules along with analog input and output modules. • Now the equipments that are to be controlled are connected to the output modules of PLC. The equipments are classified into two categories analog and digital. • The analog equipments are connected to analog outputs and in similar way the digital equipments are connected to digital output.

- 6. • The automation cannot be achieved without the feedbacks. • The feedbacks here in the smart homes are various types of sensors. • Sensors used for the same are temperature sensor, proximity sensor, pressure sensor, touch sensor, etc. • Sensors are connected to the input modules of the PLC. • To communicate with the equipments, HMI(human machine interface), IPADs, is used replacing the old mechanical switches.
- 7. ADVANTAGE OF USING PLC • PLC works on ladder diagram language which is much easier then the other language such as C, C++, python etc. • Ladder diagram mainly works on the principle of universal gates. • Using the real time clock built in plc we can achieve the many of the applications mention in previous slides eg. the alarm using music system, automatic lights turn on/off. • It is robust compared to all other controllers which can achieve the same.
