Coupled with this, the world population is confirmed to be getting older. Home automation systems must comply with the household standards and convenience of usage.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. Typical wireless home automation system allows one to control household appliances from a centralized control unit which is wireless. These appliances usually have to be specially designed to be compatible with each other and with the control unit for most commercially available home automation systems.The developed system can be integrated as a single portable unit and allows one to wirelessly control lights, fans, air conditioners, television sets, security cameras, electronic doors, computer systems, audio/visual equipment’s etc. and turn ON or OFF any appliance that is plugged into a wall outlet, get the status of different sensors and take decision accordingly. The system is portable and constructed in a way that is easy to install, configure, run, and maintain. The perfect user interface still does not exist at present and to build a good interface requires knowledge of both sociology and technology fields. The problem lies with the situation of the elderly or disabled people, who cannot usually help themselves to move around, and might require external assistance. People who live alone might also need a helping hand at home. Therefore An android app controlled home automation system is designed, so that the users can perform certain tasks by just the use of their phones. Having a phone as a remote will make the system more user-friendly and portable.

This paper presents a secure and reliable home automation system in order to make everyone’s life simpler and fulfil the needs of the disabled or the elderly. The paper proposes a system based on efficient smart watch that uses arduino microcontroller which is embedded with a WIFI module and enables us to control a number of home appliances such as lights, fans and others using on/off relay. In our work, the appliances need not to be smart beforehand as arduino would be externally connected to them such that the system designed would be controlled by gestures i.e. users can control the working of the appliances by moving their hand in upward or downward direction over the screen. This system is comparatively efficient and cost effective than other proposed systems in terms of scalability and reliability. Also, the proposed system has been thoroughly tested and verified in various environmental conditions.

Home Automation Systems are mainly targeted towards people with physical difficulties for movement. The proposed Voice Assisted Home Automation System (VAHAS) enables one to control all electrical equipment and peripheral devices by means of just one’s voice. By means of interfacing the devices (which could include lights, televisions, air conditioners and so on) with the Linux powered main device running our software, via RF enabled switches, the system responds to the user’s voice commands and intelligently activates, deactivates and changes the state of the appliances. The paper elucidates the actual implementation of a low cost device and shows the results produced by the system. Scalability and customer accessibility of the system is also considered during design.

Usually, home automation talks about the domestic atmosphere that increases the class of the occupant’s life by eliminating as much human interface as in theory possible in numerous domestic practices and exchange them with automated mechatronics systems. Home automation comprises selected form of intelligence, home network and or centralized or logic distributed network or specific control unit. The modest system works on an approach in which the functionality is hardwired and incorporated into the system and cannot be altered automatically without the interference of technical or a knowledgeable person. Advanced sensor technology with Wireless advancement expands our sensing competencies by linking communication networks and physical world which enables wide-ranging applications in respect of home automation. In this article, we are discussing various sensors, actuators and control systems utilized for the home automation systems.  


The main objective of this project is to develop a Home automation system using an Arduino board with Bluetooth being remotely controlled by any android OS smart phone. As technology is advancing so houses are also getting smarter. Modern houses are gradually shifting from conventional switches to centralized control system, Involving remote control switches. Presently, conventional wall switches located in different parts of the houses makes it difficult for the user to go near them to operate. Even more it becomes more difficult for the elderly or physically handicapped people to do so. Remote controlled home automation system provides a most modern solution with smart phone. In order to achieve this, Bluetooth module is interfaced to Arduino board at the receiver end while on the transmitter end, a GUI application on the cell phone sends ON/OFF, commands receiver where loads are connected.

Smart home automation has become popular with the advent of IoT technology. Smart home automation systems suffer from a number of security issues due to the vulnerabilities that exist in the different devices and the interconnection network. Providing user authentication for smart homes is an important security requirement for preventing intruders from attacking a smart home automation system. Biometric based authentication systems have been used in many applications since they provide high security than the smart cards and password based authentication systems. Finger vein recognition is a biometric authentication technique that applies pattern recognition on the images of human finger vein present beneath the skin's surface. The advantage of using finger vein authentication is that, it is difficult to forge and also provides high accuracy as the external deformities like rashes, cracks and rough epidermis do not have an impact on the matching and recognition process. This paper deals with the implementation of a secure smart home automation system that uses finger vein biometric for the authentication mechanism. The algorithm used for authentication uses K Means Segmentation and canny edge detection for feature extraction. SVM classifier is used for the matching process. The authentication system is then incorporated into the smart home automation system that can be used to monitor and control the devices connected to it. The proposed approach shows better performance than the existing methods used in literature for authentication, monitoring and control of smart home automation systems

Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is the most recent technology platform. We may regulate our daily routine work, such as home applications, control, and simple communication systems, using IOT, and improve our digital services. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system that intelligently adds everyday content information to the internet in order to facilitate communication between objects and humans, as well as among themselves. In this study, we demonstrate how IoT can improve home automation. The relay, Node MCU, which is a network access component, is used in our suggested system. We can control that equipment using an IoT-based system technique. Mobile phones, computers, and tablets are used as user interfaces in home automation systems. They can connect to the home automation network through a wireless internet connection. The user will interact with the system directly via the control interface, while home appliances will be controlled remotely via a mobile app. An additional aspect of the home automation system is that it may be protected remotely. This redesigned design concept provided a home automation system that could be controlled efficiently. Keywords: IOT, home automation, smart home, relay, response time, Node MCU (ESP8266)
