1. INTRODUCTION
As the world travels towards modern systems, the comfort
and security of home automation plays vital role in recent
days. Many smart devices have been developed to provide
control and monitor the environment of home. Most ofthem
are expensive and need a hub to control them. Recent
developments include Amazon Alexa, Wink Hub, andPhilips
Hue. They act as a hub to control and monitor only the smart
devices. The paper proposes the design of integrated smart
home system which performs tasks automatically and end
users experience great convenience. It provides better
control functions of gadgets remotely by using android
application. This system monitors the power
consumption, helping to prevent exorbitant electricity bills.
We’re living in the golden age of technology development,
you need not want to replace the older ones instead you can
integrate them with the new technology with increased
energy efficiency and improved functionality.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
The trend in the home automation system is more towards
the automation of day to day activities. For the elderly and
disabled people who require care, the home automation
system can give increased sophistication by adding
intelligence to home devices. The smart phones and other
devices plays vital role in today’s environment due to
advancement in technology which allows many devices to
interconnect with each other. The research and
implementation of internet of things are getting more
popular now a days [1]. The research carried describes the
network interoperability and control of home devices from
remote areas using home networks. These designs include
dedicated web server, expandable database and a user
friendly web page to manage the smart devices [2]. The
Bluetooth is used forcommunication between mobile phone
and the system. The Bluetooth is used for short range
communication and internet is not used for remote control
process. This system can be controlled only when the users
are in the range of Bluetooth [3]. A high end personnel
computer is required which increases cost of installation as
well as energy consumption.The GSM basedcommunication
is used in the system which requires AT commands.TheGSM
communication is slow operation and is not suitable for
controlling and monitoring the home devices [4]. Agraphical
representation of sensor reading is displayed in web servers
provide better way to monitor the environment. The system
includes Wi-Fi communication hence the appliances can be
controlled from any part of the world. This system is not
suitable since open source web server is used and hence
there is a fall in security. The systemisdesignedwiththehelp
of arduino uno microcontroller hence the scalability is not
possible [5]. The recent development in smart home devices
and mobile IP applications are described which uses the
principle of MIPv6 for providing mobility on the design of
MIP based home automationsystem.Ahomegatewayisused
asa service gateway whichcommunicates between different
protocols for appliances [6]. The communication between
arduino board and mobile phone is by Bluetooth technology
which is wireless. Password protection is used to provide
authorized control of devices. The Bluetooth technology can
be used for local control of appliances and it is not scalable
sincelarge scalable communication such asGSM or IoT isnot
utilized. This technology is not encouraged bytheuserssince

it can be used for only local operations and not for remote
operations [7]. The communication takes by a telephoneline
hence the wired communication involves lot of noise and
installationcostisincreasedwhichbecomesthedisadvantage
of the system [8].
3. EXISTING SYSTEM
The currently existing system smart home system (SHS) do
not provide any trash management, gas booking,andan OTP
generated entry of unknown people. Most of the existing
system does not provide constant speed when more than 4
interrupt devices are integrated instead the speed gets
reduced as well as system gets crashes. Existing systems
provide security management, trash management,
monitoring system and metering system separately and not
integrated. Any system that needs to be integrated is
designed for that particular hub. Hub such as Philips Hue,
Amazon Alexa and Wink Hub canintegratethesmartdevices
designed on the basis of them. It does not able to control the
appliances which does not support Wi-Fi control. The
existing system fails to operate when internet shutdown
occurs and requires many terminals and switches that a far
from each devices to control.
4. PROPOSED SYSTEM
The Integrated Smart Home System (ISHS) mainly focus on
controlling and monitoring the appliances that is connected
to the system. The system can be controlledbothvia android
application as well as touch screen present in the house.The
touch screen control provides isolation from high voltage
controlling operations. Some devices such as safety lockers
can be controlled only from android application ensuring
high security to the house. It also provideshighsecureddoor
locking system by using biometric system.Thesystemcanbe
used by residents as well as the persons authorised by the
residents. The authorised persons can enter into the house
by using OTP generated from the security system that is
acknowledged by the residents of the house. The system is
designed by Proteus Professional and Arduino IDE. The
android application provides user friendly interface for the
remote operations. The TFT Screen helps when the server
can’t be reached. The security cameras will provide visual
image through the android application for the residents.The
proposed system consists of subsystems that communicate
with one another by using MQTT cloud server.

4.4 Soil Moisture Sensor
The soil moisture sensor measurement ranges from 5%
moisture to fully saturated soil. It helps to water the plants.
The value of the soil moisture sensor is used to water the
crops based on their amount they consume so that water
wastage can be reduced. It also helps to prevent the wilting
and dying of plant in summer heat.
Fig -5: Soil Moisture Sensor
4.5 PIR Sensor
The Passive Infraredsensorhelpstosensemotion,usedto
detect whether a human has entered or left out of the sensor
range and turns on/off the lights and fans in the particular
room. The PIR sensor helps in saving the electricity by
turning off the relay system of the room. The PIR sensor is a
dual element sensor with low noise and high sensitivity. It
has a delay time adjustable switch so that the light can be
turned on for a particular time after when we go out of the
room.

4.12 Load Cell AND HX 711 ADC
The 24 high precision A/D converter chip HX711
helps in converting the analogue value from the load
cell into digital value. This is used to know the exact
weight of the gas cylinder hence the booking can be
done in advance. This is also used to determine the
amount of waste that is produced in the home so that
the waste can be reduced by the residents. The
pollutants such as plastics are disposed by paying
amount to the government and bio degradable waste
can be used as a raw material for fertilizer production
hence the government will pay for the bio degradable
waste.

4.13 Single Phase Energy Meter
The pulse of the single phase energy meter can be
used to determine the load consumption by the
connected devices of the home, which can be used to
save the electricity. The call signal from the energy
meter can be used to calculate the units consumed by
the user. The data is directly sent to the Electricity
board and also is displayed in mobile application for
consumers to save the electricity.

5.4 Mobile Application
Mobile app was created using Ionic framework
which is a native script uses angular 2. Ionic
framework is an open source UI toolkit for building
high performance mobile application using web
technologies (HTML, CSS and TS). Ionic framework
mainly focuses on UI interaction for that it uses
Angular 2.It also have large library which support
many features. The main advantage of Ionic is its cross
platform feature. Ionic app can be built as both native
ios and android app with single codebase.Itisthemain
reason for choosing ionic to build app in our project.

5.4 Web Application
Web app was created using JavaScript which is an
native script uses Paho MQTT. It is hosted using GIT
repositories. Github is an open source software
developing platform, which accepts languages like
HTML, CSS and JS. Web app communicate to micro
controllers through a communication protocol called
MQTT. MQTT broker pays a way through which data
can be sent and received across Web app and micro
controller. In order to increase the security of the Web
app, Sign in and Sign up page is included so only
authorized user can login. During login, if the user
credentials are valid then the user would be able to
move to the controlling page. On every further request
made to the backend server the tokenis send alongthe
request URL. If the token is valid then corresponding
response is send to the Web application.

6. CONCLUSION
The proposed work is an integrated smart home
system (ISHS), which is mainly focus on existing
systems that can be integrated to become a smart
system. ISHS is used to monitor our appliances both
through mobile application and web server doesn’t
matter how long the distance may be. This helps us to
manage our electricity bills, makes gas booking on its
own, and helps us keep track of the amount of plastics
used. It also helps in safeguarding our home from
unknown persons. The processor used can maintain
the constant speedevenwhenmuchnumberofdevices
is connected to it. The maximum numbers of devices
that can be connected to a single system are 32.
