1. Raspberry pi:
The Raspberry PI-3 is a computer developed by the
Raspberry PI Foundation, a UK-based charity which
aims to provide low-cost computers and free software
to students. The Raspberry Pi's allure comes from the
combination of this powerful device's small size and
affordable price, and nearly every institution needs a
low-cost programming solution. Raspberry is fully
programmable and it serves as the core of our home

4. Camera and dc motor for security door
The proposed system is when an unknown person detected
on the door it checks the Presence of any member in the
house and if there is no one in house it sends the
information to home owner via email. And when a known
person is detected, the door is automatically open with the
help of dc motor[7]. When a known person enters in the
home or PIR sensor detect any person in home then all the
sensors activates and home appliances switch on or off
according to analysing the sensors data. And if a smoke is
detected by gas sensor in the home an alarm is activated
and also send a message to the home owner for emergency. Fig.3. Raspberry Pi
And all data of sensors, readings show on display by LCD.
We can easily understand this by a block diagram which is 2. Sensors:
given below. Home automation systems begin with sensors,
devices that detect and respond to some type of input
from the physical environment. They can sense things
like window and door contact, human presence (for
lighting control, heating, security), motion, humidity,
temperature, etc. In our project we use GAS Sensor
for detect smoke, PIR Sensor for detect human,
Temperature Sensor for detect Temperature of the
home and LDR sensor for detect darkness or light.

3. DC Motor:
In this system a DC motor is used to automatically
open or close the door with the help of a relay. when

then the door automatically open with the help of dc
Components and Technologies: motor.
 The L293D is a specialized motor driver IC that allows a
DC motor to be driven in either direction. It is a 16-pin IC
that can control a set of two DC motors simultaneously in
either direction. This means you can control two DC
motors from one L293D IC. Here we use it to drive a DC
motor to open and close the door.

applications. It is programmable to provide four
pseudo differential input pairs or eight single ended
inputs. Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is specified at
±1LSB and integral nonlinearity (INL) is ±2LSB.
Communication with the devices is accomplished
using a simple serial interface compatible with the SPI
protocol.

6. LCD Display:
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is a type of flat panel
display that uses a liquid crystal as its primary form of
operation. LEDs have a large and varied set of use cases
for consumers and businesses, as they can be commonly
found in smartphones, televisions, computer monitors,
and instrument panels.
Here we use this LCD display to display all the data like
temperature, light intensity, system activation
information etc.

CONCLUSION:
Homes nowadays have different features oriented to
different users of the environment which makes the home
automated. Current trends in home automation include
automatic lighting, automatic temperature adjustment,
energy management, mobile or email notifications,
streaming media, remote video surveillance, and more. [9].
Home automation systems with security are also perfectly
useful in residential settings for the elderly or disabled,
where they aim to support autonomous living. [10]. And,
like most technology, smart home technology gets better
with age. It gets smarter, less expensive, and easier to use
every year. Smart home system can provide human a kind
of easy, orderly and effective life style, and should be the
development trend for future habitat [11].
At the time of writing, one of the most advanced smart
home technologies relies on the Raspberry Pi as a server.
Ease of use, security and seamless integration of this
technology, although already at a high level, can and will
be improved over time. In addition, it is expected that soon
Fig. 11. LDC Display shows the light intensity which is our homes will also be able to differentiate between
below 10 so the bulbs will switch on automatically fingerprints, heart rate and body temperature among family
members to adapt to each individual's needs. [12].
We'll be able to use everyday objects as our personal
assistants and they'll be incorporated into our homes in a
non-intrusive way. With sensors and devices both free and
size invisible, we are about to enter an era of smart
everything.
