Home Automation Systems (HAS) attracted much attention during the last decade due to the developments in new wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth 4.0, 5G, WiFi 6, etc. In order to enable automation as a service in smart homes, a number of challenges must be addressed, such as fulfilling the electrical energy demands, scheduling the operational time of appliances, applying machine learning models in real-time, optimal human appliances interaction, etc. In order to address the aforementioned challenges and control the wastage of energy due to the lifestyle of the home users, we propose a system for automatically controlling the energy consumption by employing machine and deep learning techniques to smart home networks. The proposed system works in three phases, (1) feature extraction and classification based on 1-dimensional Deep Convolutional Neural Network (1D-DCNN) which extract important energy patterns from the historic energy data, (2) a load forecasting system based on Long-short Term Memory (LSTM) is proposed to forecast the load based on the extracted features in phase 1 and (3) a scheduling algorithm based on the forecasted data obtained from phase 2 is designed to schedule the operational time of smart home appliances. The proposed scheme efficiently automates the smart home appliances to consume less energy while adapting to the lifestyle of smart home users. The validation of the proposed scheme is tested with a number of simulation scenarios incorporating datasets from authentic data sources. The simulation results show that the proposed smart home automation system can be a game-changer in fulfilling the energy demands of the home users without installing renewable and other energy sources in the future.

Security of lives and properties is highly important for enhanced quality living. Smart home automation and its application have received much progress towards convenience, comfort, safety, and home security. With the advances in technology and the Internet of Things (IoT), the home environment has witnessed an improved remote control of appliances, monitoring, and home security over the internet. Several home automation systems have been developed to monitor movements in the home and report to the user. Existing home automation systems detect motion and have surveillance for home security. However, the logical aspect of averting unnecessary or fake notifications is still a major area of challenge. Intelligent response and monitoring make smart home automation efficient. This work presents an intelligent home automation system for controlling home appliances, monitoring environmental factors, and detecting movement in the home and its surroundings. A deep learning model is proposed for motion recognition and classification based on the detected movement patterns. Using a deep learning model, an algorithm is developed to enhance the smart home automation system for intruder detection and forestall the occurrence of false alarms. A human detected by the surveillance camera is classified as an intruder or home occupant based on his walking pattern. The proposed method’s prototype was implemented using an ESP32 camera for surveillance, a PIR motion sensor, an ESP8266 development board, a 5 V four-channel relay module, and a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor. The environmental conditions measured were evaluated using a mathematical model for the response time to effectively show the accuracy of the DHT sensor for weather monitoring and future prediction. An experimental analysis of human motion patterns was performed using the CNN model to evaluate the classification for the detection of humans. The CNN classification model gave an accuracy of 99.8%.


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

Home automation systems are garnering increasing popularity and widespread use due to the relative ease of domestic management and comparatively high return on technology investment tied to its adoption. However, Nigeria and other emerging ICT economies are yet to fully actualize and maximize the inherent potential of these smart home technologies due to endemic challenges associated with poor infrastructure, erratic power supply and unreliable Internet connectivity. These challenges necessitate an innovative paradigmatic shift that could provide a pragmatic technological solution suitable to the context of Nigeria and other developing climes. For most smart home systems in this research context, the status quo is based on choosing whether the design would be for short- or long-range communication network. Short-range designs which are usually realized with Bluetooth technology suffer from limited range issues while poor connectivity, bandwidth and latency issues are some of the problems plaguing Wi-Fi-based long-range designs. Consequently, this research presents a hybrid adaptive architecture that combines desirable features of both short- and long-range modes. The proposed smart home system is based on using embedded systems which use mobile application to send messages to ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. Together with notifications received from the monitoring unit, these messages are parsed by Arduino's ATMEGA328 microcontroller from where instruction codes are sent for controlling the load by switching ON or OFF various relays connected to the load.


Smart home provides a well secured surroundings and a quality by utilizing the energy resources in an efficient manner. Looking at the worldwide energy crisis, home automation should be made common globally as aquintes sential element in overcoming loss of energy and using renewable resources. One of the basic problems in home automation is the amount of costit demands to get operated. Hence reducing the cost of automation is a factor to be concerned in the world. In this research study, an affordable home automation system based on Arduino microcontroller has been launched that operates with Modbus protocol. A Bluetooth module has been interfaced with Arduino, thus weeding out the deployment of desktops and laptops. The whole system has been tested and observed to run favourably and perform the desired functions like switching ON/OFF, speed regulation of fan, temperature control of AC and light acuteness management (Via Voltage Regulation). A computer-programmed app is designed in the proposedsetup which enables the operators to manage up to 20 devices incorporating various electrical appliances and sensors via Bluetooth technology. In the present world, a majority of home automation systems are designed for specific purposes while proposed system is built to fulfil typical objectives which can be operated in a home without much difficulty. The recommended apparatus exhibits more characteristics than the usual home automation systems as it incorporates an ultrasonic sensor and soil moisture sensor for water table detection and automatic plant irrigation system respectively. The recommended model of this automation system is applied and examined on gadgets and it produced desired results.
