system.
System Components
1. Raspberry Pi (Model X) - The core computing unit that powers the entire home automation system.
2. 3 Normal Lights - Standard white lights that can be turned on and off remotely.
3. RGB Light - A programmable light that can display a wide range of colors, allowing for custom lighting settings.
4. CCTV Camera - A surveillance camera with face recognition capabilities to enhance security.
5. Motion Sensor - Detects movement in the environment to trigger automated actions like lighting.
6. Temperature Sensor - Monitors the ambient temperature to enable smart cooling or heating controls.
7. WiFi Module - Provides wireless connectivity to enable remote access and control of the system.
Controlling Lights
The home automation system offers two convenient methods to control the lights -
voice commands using speech recognition, and a dedicated smartphone app that
connects to the system via WiFi.
Users can turn lights on and off individually or collectively, and for the RGB light,
they can adjust the brightness and select custom colors to set the desired ambiance.
CCTV Functionality
The home automation system utilizes a CCTV camera with advanced face
recognition capabilities, seamlessly integrated with the Raspberry Pi processor. This
powerful setup allows for live video monitoring, as well as automated actions
triggered by detected faces.
Users can remotely access the camera feed, providing peace of mind and the ability
to monitor their home from anywhere. The face recognition feature can be
programmed to trigger specific actions, such as security alerts, upon detecting
authorized or unauthorized individuals.

RGB Light Control
The RGB light in this home automation system allows users to set custom colors by
adjusting the individual red, green, and blue levels. This can be done through a
smartphone app interface, providing a simple and intuitive way to create the perfect
lighting ambiance.
Additionally, the RGB light can be programmed to automate color changes based on
time of day or other events, enabling seamless integration with the overall home
automation setup.
