LoRa and server-based home automation using the internet of things (IoT)

Home automation (HA) systems can be considered as an implementation of the internet of everything (IoE) where many devices are linked by intelligent connections in order to improve the quality of life at home. This chapter is dedicated to analyzing current trends and challenges in HA. Energy management, safer homes, and improved control over the house are some of the benefits of HA. However, privacy, security, social disruption, installation/maintenance issues, economic costs, market fragmentation, and low interoperability represent real problems of these IoE solutions. In this regard, the latest proposals in HA try to answer some of these needs with low-cost DIY solutions, wireless solutions, and IP-based HA systems. This chapter proposes a way to deal with the interoperability problem by means of the open-source platform openHAB. It is based on the concept of a home automation bus, an idea that enables the separation of the physical and the functional view of any device, allowing to create a technology-agnostic environment, which is perfect for addressing the interoperability problem.

This paper presents a design and prototype implementation of a renewable energy-powered home with a basic home automation system using Internet Of things (IoT). The proposed system consists of two main parts; The first part consists of renewable energy (solar) power system where the power supplied to the house is produced from solar panel(s), which will be supplied to an inverter through a MPPT-based solar charge controller. A battery has been used in the system as a backup power supply which will be charged with the help of the charge controller. The excess power generated (when no home appliances are used and the battery is fully charged) will be supplied to the power grid or will be used to run an external AC motors such as water pumps. The second part consists of home automation using Internet Of things (IOT) using a Wi-Fi interface and an android application BLYNK. With the help of the mentioned android application BLYNK, the user will be able to know the current status of the lights and other electrical appliances of their house, whether the lights and other electrical appliances are turned on/off, and can remotely turn on/off the appliances and lights. The home automation in this prototype is focussed on the parts only where most of the energy could be wasted when we forget to turn off the lights, fan and power plugs while leaving the house and could be turned on/off remotely through an android app. The two subparts of the design will be finally combined to make a renewable energy-based smart home. Unlike the costly and sophisticated home automation systems available in the market, this design is cheap and simple, and can be easily implemented in our home.

While there have been many notable developments in the field of smart home security systems for the past decade, the possibilities to develop and employ a multitude of features for an IoT based security system keep growing. Our proposed design introduces a cheap IoT based home security system that enables the user to have complete control over the system remotely as well as get live video feedback over the internet by using our custom- designed android application. The android application utilizes a real-time database (Firebase) for interpreting the sensor data. The android application also provides other features such as – password management, activation or deactivation of the system and alert option. The security system combines a motion sensor and a camera module for intruder detection and alerts the user instantly through an online alert notification. For evidence purposes, snapshots of the intruder can be taken during live video monitoring from the android application. Additionally, a GSM module is used to send an SMS alert about the intruder over the cellular network.

Internet of Things (IoT) emerges as a possible solution to realize a smart life in the modern age. However, how to provide a transparent IoT service to fit users' needs and how to quickly develop smart services with flexibility and scalability are still problems. In this article, we present a novel NFC-driven home automation framework for IoT, which integrates the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Social Networks, and the Cloud Computing. Near Field Communication (NFC) technology provides a way for users to exchange information between them and the system by simply contacting. So, we propose to use NFC as the system drive in the framework, such that users can intuitively interact with the system and deliver their intentions. Then, the corresponding service over the framework will control or adjust the “things” at home to fit users' needs. Furthermore, the proposed framework provides a platform for developers to easily and rapidly implement their home automation related services. In the framework, WSN sensing and control, NFC communications and identification, user profile management and preference analysis, and social network integration are all provide as platform services. Application developers are allowed to skip these details. The framework can be applied on Home Automation and Elderly Care. Take Home Automation as an example, we will show how the framework works for home automation, secure house, and social network sharing.
