Smart Homes
APRIL 4, 2017
The rapid development of Internet technology and smart embedded systems has redefined the way we live. One of the important aspects of this change has been in our homes. Smart home systems, which are platforms communicating with user devices, have gained tremendously in the last few years. The communication between appliances and various sensors, controllers and home devices is one of the main research areas in home automation systems. This project introduces a different perspective by creating a dependable and secure home automation system.
Overview
Our project aims at providing a smart home environment which is capable of context aware monitoring and adaptation.  It consists of three major sub-systems: Sensing and actuation subsystem – which is responsible for all the sensor and actuator interfacing and communication; Network Discovery and Routing Subsystem - in which we envision a tree topology which grows layer-by-layer to form a multi-hop network of gateway, routers and edge nodes, which is controllable through the gateway; Context-Aware Sub-system - which monitors the room for the presence of a person.
