Designing Home Automation Systems using Java ME for Mobile Phones

This project report details the design and implementation of a Home Automation System (HAS) using Java ME for mobile devices. Initiated by the Vodafone Group, the system aims to control home appliances via smartphones, offering a cost-effective and scalable solution. The project scope encompasses various aspects, including project aims and objectives (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-framed), stakeholder analysis, risk identification (budget and time), expected outcomes, and cost estimations. The report outlines the project team, initial risk assessments, and project benefits. It also includes a project scope, work breakdown structure, estimated timeline, resource needs, Gantt charts, network diagrams, quality plan, communication plan, risk management plan, ethical issue analysis, project deployment plan, project crashing analysis, project sign-off, post-project review, and references. This comprehensive project provides insights into the development and management of a smart home automation system.

Project title: Designing Home Automation Systems using Java ME for Mobile Phone
Background and current practice:
Home Automation System developed based on using Java ME will help the users to control
the home application through the use of smartphone. This project is ventured by Vodafone
group.
The main objective of the implementation of this system is that the controlling of the home
appliances can be done at minimal cost. The users can use the smartphones t controlling
different devices at home like light, fan, television and other electronic appliances.
This will be a feasible and scalable solution that will allow the user to get the service at
minimal cost. The network for this system will be developed by the engineers of the
Vodafone group. Apart from hat the network will be secured through the use of username and
password.
Project aims and objectives
Specific: The objective of the proposed system is specific. The system wants to implement
the Smart Home Automation system that will help the users to control the appliances using
smartphones.
Measurable: The performance of the system is measurable through the evaluation of the
performance which is indicated by the connectivity and the response time of the system.
Achievable: The functionality of the required system can be achievable through the use of
machine learning and the use of IoT driven technology.

Relevant: The Smart Home Automation system is relevant, as at present day, as the smart
systems will help to control the appliances with minimal energy and effort. Apart from that
this will help to increase the user flexibility and increasing the efficiency.

Initial Risk Identification:
There are two identified risks in the project-
 Budget: the budget for the project is $ 1553060. The amount of the investment is high
in this case. If the analysis of the requirements and the compilation of the project are
not done in a proper way the project scope creep can raise during the development
phase. This will raise the budget of the project in a further level which is not
desirable.
 Time: The total time needed for the development of the project is 610 days. The time
frame can be increased if the scope creep is present in the project.
Expected Outcome: It can be said that the project will be complied in a proper way. Apart
from that the project will help to implement the smart home automation system successfully.
Initial Estimate of Cost: The initial estimated cost for the designing of the home automation
system is $ 1696660.
