Cloud Based Home Automation ? Adapting Greener Homes

The Home automation technology is set to revolutionize the way people perceive digital devices in our homes and office environment. Now they are no longer just the individual devices, instead, with the HA technology, they form a network in which appliances can communicate with each other. This wireless technology is especially useful in home environment, where there exists hardly any infrastructure to interconnect intelligent appliances. These days convenience and easy work environment is what everyone is looking for. Home automation is one such technology which gives us ? Convenience ? Safety and security ? Fun and Enjoyable environment In the proposed system, the user will have a GUI application in his android phone with which he can control and monitor the home devices. A master control unit placed at home receives the control messages over the internet and sends it over to the corresponding devices over zigbee network. As the control and monitoring devices being developed are battery powered, there will not be an issue of availability of power sockets. The message transactions between the smart phone and home are through a cloud server, which will manage the users and the devices to be controlled or monitored. The user authentication is done in the cloud server. Citation: Megha Peter, Holy Kings College Of Engineering And Technology. "Cloud Based Home Automation ? Adapting Greener Homes."
