Abstract

Background: In the era of Internet of Things (IoT), automation of home and security systems is becoming remarkably easy. Many research works have also been conducted to bring the most convenient way of automating home appliances and security systems. But little research has been carried out in providing the most comprehensive or autonomous or self-controlled home automation. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive solution to mitigate the existing need. End users can interact with household appliances in a variety of means irrespective of platforms used and their geographical location through a smartphone application. Using their speech as input, users can also operate the electrical appliances via voice commands. In addition to the mobile application and voice command by integrating some cloud services, an attractive web interface could be provided as another alternative for better data presentation and analysis. The autonomous feature would allow the home to monitor and control its environment by itself through installed sensors, sharing data and taking a relevant measurement without a need for human intervention.

Methods: In order to achieve these performances, the work will deploy MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), a messaging protocol to enable the modules to easily communicate with one another.

Results: Multiple alternative means of controlling and interacting with home appliances were provided. Both autonomous mode and safe mode features would make the system to behave and run autonomously.

Conclusion: The paper also highlights the presentation for an application of multiway, crossplatform and user-oriented home automation and security system as well as convenient means of controlling and monitoring household electrical appliances.

Keywords: Internet of Things (IoT), home automation, M2M communication, NodeMCU ESP8266, autonomous home, smart home.
