Smart Home & Security System
INTRODUCTION
Home automation has become important in today’s world as it helps to
complete a task with lesser human assistance and in a smarter way.
Houses are becoming smarter and developed these days with the help
of automation devices. Home electrical appliances are using remote-
controlled switches rather than conventional switches. In today’s world,
most of the people have access to smartphones and its use have
become very popular and essential in our lives. We can use
smartphones to control the household appliances with just one click or
one message. With the help of controllers and communication devices
home appliances can be remotely controlled. By this we are reducing the
human efforts and saving the time.
An important factor to consider when we talk about home automation is
Security. Home security is a very important feature of home automation
and maybe the most crucial one. Home security made a drastic changes
in the past few decades and continue to advance much more in the
coming years. Previously home security systems meant having an alarm
that would go off when somebody would break in but a smart secure
home can do much more than that. Therefore the main objective of our
work is to design a system which can alert the owner and others of an
intruder break-in by sending a notification to their smart phones. The
owner will also have the ability to give door access to the other people
from remote locations through mobile.
In this we are using Raspberry pi 3b+ model as a computer to run the
operations. The loads in the house can be connected to raspberry pi
through relays and these loads can be controlled by the mobile
application. For security purpose a fingerprint sensor is using for
authentication purpose, only authorised persons can access through the
fingerprint sensor. Unauthorised person access will be denied and
sends notification to owners mobile.
