Implementation Of AI (Artificial Intelligence) Home Automation System

This work is artificial intelligence based home automation system. With the introduction of AI to home automation, the living space of the user can be controlled without the touch of a button either centrally or remotely. The necessary software tools should present a comfortable user interface. In the proposed system it is assumed that the home system adapts itself to the occupants lifestyle. The proposed Intelligent System continuously learns and adapts to the users preferences. By using Natural Language Processing, the Intelligent System will execute the commands issued by the user. The AI system will infer the changes and implement them with the help of the Raspberry Pi. This project aims at controlling, managing and coordinating the day-to-day home appliances in a comfortable, effective and secure way. The design of the system is based on Master-Slave communication between the Raspberry Pi and Arduino to control the appliances. On issuing a command to the system, the Raspberry Pi will map the command to the Arduino device in the specific rooms. In addition, the Intelligent System also performs the work of a Personal Assistant and has additional modules such as News, Shopping etc. to let the user access data remotely.

1.1                                           BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Automation is a technique, method, or system of operating or controlling a process by electronic devices with reducing human involvement to a minimum. The fundamental of building an automation system for an office or home is increasing day-by-day with numerous benefits. Industrialist and researchers are working to build for efficient and affordability automatic systems to monitor and control different machines like lights, fans, AC based on the requirement. Automation makes not only an efficient but also an economical use of the electricity and reduces much of the wastage. Homes of the 21st century will become more and more self-controlled and automated due to the comfort it provides, especially when employed in a private home. A home automation system is a means that allow users to control electric appliances of varying kind. Home automation is the residential extension of building automation and involves the control and automation of lighting, heating, appliances, and security.

The general goal of the home automation is to use networking technology to integrate the devices, appliances and services found in homes so that the entire domestic living space can be controlled centrally or remotely. “Home automation is a very promising area. Its main benefits range from increased comfort and greater safety and security, to a more rational use of energy and other resources, allowing for significant savings. It also offers powerful means for helping and supporting the special needs of people with disabilities and, in particular, the elderly. This application domain is very important and will steadily increase in the future [1].” With rapid economic growth, living standard are also rising day by day. The modern society wants safe, economic, comfortable and convenient life which is ideal for every family. By using off the shelf components to reduce the cost and open source software to get around licensing requirements of software, we can develop an economical smart home system without increasing the complexity. In [2], the authors present an Artificially Intelligent Home Automation System Based on Arduino as the Master Controller. The sensors are controlled with the help of Arduino, and the voice command part has been developed on Visual Basic, both of which are FOSS (Free Open Source Software) and the security system GUI is designed with the help of MATLAB 2013. Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform that provides easy-to-use hardware and programming environments. It is relatively inexpensive compared to other microcontroller-based platforms like Beagle Bone. Thus creating an economic and energy efficient system development.

If we talk home automation, the main issue is how to connect home appliances to the Intelligent System. With the help of Raspberry Pi and Arduino, we can build a home automation system that is capable of operating these home devices automatically. The Raspberry Pi will serve as a master device through which the AI will communicate and control the home appliances.

1.2                                                  PROBLEM STATEMENT

Most homes make use of many electrical and electronics appliances such as the television set, standing fan, ceiling fan, air conditioner, lighting bulbs, video players, radio, etc. All these appliances require switching to turn on and turn off these appliances traditionally. This manual switching of any home appliance is an inconvenient method for physically disabled or elderly or even for the young and busy individuals when frequent switching operation is required. Thus, an easier method of switching is developed to replace this manual switching method, using an advanced switching method for electronic home appliances – artificial intelligence. This involves using artificial intelligence to switch ON and OFF of home appliances.

1.3                                                   AIM OF THE PROJECT

The main aim of this project is to enable users to remotely control their home appliances and systems using artificial intelligence.

1.4                                             OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

The main objectives of home automation are controlling, management and coordination of home appliances in a comfortable, effective and secure way either centrally or remotely. Other objectives are:

• To create a comfortable and hands-free environment in
• To adapt the proposed AI to the occupants
• To analyze the methods of home
• To allow remote communication with home
• Save

1.5                                           SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

A home automation system provides a large number of services which can broadly be classified into following four categories:

1. Comfortable Management of appliances
2. Remote controlling of appliances
3. Efficient utilization of home resources
4. Enhancing home security

Comfortable management includes automatic adjustment of AC(air conditioning) setting, fan regulation setting etc. Remote controlling services include accessing devices from remote location and setting them ON/OFF. Efficient utilization includes running the home appliances at their optimal setting (setting at which we get the required output at minimum cost). Last category of service includes all those services which are used for securing the home environment.

1.6                                           LIMITATION OF THE PROJECT

Home automation systems are quickly emerging and becoming popular nowadays in the world and its end users are specifically the disabled and elderly but due to their complexity and cost it is not always accepted.

1.7                                         APPLICATIONS OF THE PROJECT

This project can be used in Industries, This system can be employed in houses, where people often forget to switch off electrical appliances. This system can be used to control AC’s to set the room temperature when we are outside. This work is aimed toward average consumers who wish to control household appliances remotely and provided that the appliances are electrically controllable. Example of feasible appliances and applications under consideration include; enable/disable security systems, fans, lights, kitchen appliances, and adjusting the temperatures settings of a heating/ventilation/air conditioning system.

1.8                                               BENEFIT OF THE PROJECT

• Better comfort and stress-free control over the home The system will prove beneficial for older users and also provide them with the optimum environment in their home space.
• Effective tool for bedridden patients as well as the sick to control the surrounding atmosphere with
• With the depletion of energy and increase in the energy consumption, efficient and energy saving smart homes are the need of the
