2. What is Smart Home ?
➲ A home equipped with lighting , heating and electronic
devices that can be remotely controlled by phone or
computer
➲ It is one of the application of smart technologies with in our
home, in creating a comfortable home and an effective
lifestyle;
➲ It Improves automation control and monitoring of
household devices and connect via standard means of
communication for its operations
3. Features of SmartHome
Few of the features include but limited to :
➲ Home Security systems
➲ Controlled Exterior & Interior Lighting
➲ Automatic window and curtain
➲ Automatic Garage Door
➲ Distributed Entertainment Systems(Audio/video Systems)
➲ Intercom/Telecomy Systems
➲ Home Energy Management Systems
4. History of SmartHome
➲ The Smart Home's history can be easily traced back to the
early turn of the century, where electrical and telephone
wiring were installed in new houses
➲ Integrated smart home infrastructure was usuaully build by
hobbyists in the 1960s, But it was not until 1984 the term
smart home was coined by the American Asssociation of
Home Builders (www.Ehow.com)
➲ General Electric Company was one of the first pioneers to
develop a series of products made for smart homes in the
mid 60's these products includes automatic dishwasher
and microwaves
5. How Smart Home work ?
➲ Sensors: Measures/Detects temperature daylight and
motion
➲ Controllers: Voice , remote control , tablet and smartphone
➲ Actuators: Motorized Valves,Light switches and motors
➲ Buses: Wired or wireless Communication
➲ Interfaces: Human Machine or Machine-Machine
Interaction
➲ Protocols: X10, Insteon, zigbee & Zwave
6. Smart Home Systems
➲ Home Network Encompasses communication
entertainment,security,and information systems.
➲ Powerline Carrier Systems: It is a technology which is
used to send coded signals along a home's existing
electric wiring to programmable switches or outlets
➲ These signals conveys commands that corresponds to
locations of specific devices and that control how and
when those devices operate
➲ PCS transmitter can send the signals along a homes
wiring
➲ Receiver Plugged into any electric outlet in home could
receive the signal and operate the appliance to which it is
attached
7. Smart Home Technology
All the appliances and devices are receivers, and the means of
controlling the system, such as remote controls or keypads, are
transmitters. If you want to turn off a lamp in another room, the
transmitter will issue a message in numerical code that includes the
following:
• An alert to the system that it's issuing a command,
• An identifying unit number for the device that should receive the
command
• A code that contains the actual command, such as "turn off."
8. Protocols for smart home Technology
➲ X10:- It is a common protocol for PCS. It is a signaling
technique for remotely controlling any device plugged into
an electrical power line .
➲ X10 signals involves short radio frequency bursts that
represent digital information, enable communication
between transmitters and receivers .
➲ This Embedded control protocol for digital communication
between smart devices consists of a two-wire bus line that
is installed along with normal electrical wiring
9. Z-WAVE
➲ Z-Wave uses a Source Routing Algorithm to determine the
fastest route formessages. Each Z-Wave device is
embedded with a code, and when the device is plugged
into the system, the network controller recognizes the code,
determines its location and adds it to the network. When a
command comes through, the controller uses the algorithm
to determine how the message should be sent
➲ This Routing takes can takeup a lot of memory on a
network
➲ Zwave has developed a hirerachy between devices.some
controller inititate messages and some are slaves which
mean they can only carry and respond to messages.
11. ZIGBEE PROTOCOL
ZigBee's name illustrates the mesh networking concept
because messages from the transmitter zigzag like bees,
looking for the best path to the receiver. While Z-Wave usesa
proprietary technology for operating its system, ZigBee's
platform is based on the standard set by the Institute for
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for wireless
personalnetworks. This means any company can build a
ZigBee-compatible product without paying licensing fees for
the technology behind it
13. InsteonInsteon
➲ Using a wireless network provides more flexibility for placing
devices, but like electrical lines, they might have
interference. Insteon offers a way for your home network to
communicate over both electrical wires and radio waves,
making it a dual mesh network. If the message isn't getting
through on one platform, it will try the other. Instead of
routing the message, an Insteon device will broadcast the
message, and all devices pick up the message and
broadcast it until the command is performed. The devices
act like peers, as opposed to one serving as an instigator
and another as a receptor. This means that the more
Insteon devices that are installed on a network, the stronger
the message will be

16. Smart Home Advantages
➲ Smart homes obviously have the ability to make life easier and
more convenient. Home networking can also provide peace of
mind. Whether you're at work or on vacation, the smart home
will alert you to what's going on, and security systems can be
built to provide animmense amount of help in an emergency. For
example, not only would a resident be woken with notification
of a fire alarm, the smart home would also unlock doors, dial the
fire department and light the path to safety.
➲ Smart home technology promises tremendous benefits for an
elderly person living alone. Smart homes could notify the
resident when it was time to take medicine, alert the hospital if
the resident fell and track how much the resident was eating
17. Disadvantages
➲ Cost – Most families are able to purchase smart home
products, but that doesn’t mean it won’t leave a dent in
your wallet. You can purchase the products one at a time
and it won’t seem like too much, $50 here, $300 there, but
by the time you have the smart home system you want,
you will likely have spent a larger sum than you would
have if you had purchased non-smart products.
18. Disadvantages
➲ Slight Learning Curve –
➲ I know I stated in the advantages that most smart home
systems are actually very easy to use, but at the same
time there is still somewhat of a learning curve for most
people. For anyone already immersed in technology,
converting your smart home will be a breeze, but for
anyone not so tech savvy, it may make for a lot of time
spent reading manuals.
➲ If you think you might have trouble learning how to use a
smart home device, the answer may be simple. Ask for
help! Asking someone to show you how to run your smart
home can far less confusing than trying to make heads or
tails of an instruction manual.
19. Installation costs
➲ The cost of smart home process if you were going to install
from the foundation level would be around $2000 - $5000
depending how big and what type of wiring system you are
using.
➲ Example Intercom System Wiring: $200 Room: Cabling
For 7.1 and Projector Cost: $500 Alfresco: Cabling for 1
pair of Speakers: $100 Ducted Vac: Rough in only of pipes
and 3 points: $1,000
20. Amazon Alexa
➲ Amazon Alexa is personal assistant to the devices like
Smart Speakers with Amazon echo
22. Devices controlled by Amazon Alexa
➲ Washing Machines
➲ GE Led lights
➲ GE LED BULBS
➲ GE OVEN
➲ Smart plugs
➲ Smart Alarm clocks
➲ Switchmate power
23. Conculusion
➲ Keeping in mind that technology is rapidly changing, it is
important to recognize how technology is changing how we
function within our households. It is estimated that in the
next 10 years 90% of new homes with come equipped with
some form of networking, programming and automation.
The future home is a “SMART HOME”
