PROJECT SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTStudent Name: [Please Fill] Student ID: [Please Fill]Project Title: Design and Implementation of Smart Home Automation SystemPathway: HND Network Engineering and Telecommunication SystemsAIM: The aim of this project is to design and implement a solution for automatic or remote control of appliances in home. This project will help to eliminate the problem of manually switching on or off a device every time it is accessed by the user. The devices or appliances being installed in a home will be controlled automatically as well as manually as and when required by the user.Objectives:To eliminate the issues with manual controlling of devices in a home.To analyze and design a network for implementing Smart Home Automation system that means automatic control of the devices in a home.To determine the functional and non-functional requirements in context to design of the network for automatic controlling of the devices.To implement the designed network using simulation software Cisco Packet Tracer 7.0 and documenting the configuration of devices with the help of screenshots.To identify and illustrate the testing methods that will be used to check the configuration of devices that are implemented in the network.To evaluate the objectives identified from different perspectives to determine success of the project.To draw a conclusion to the project and discuss whether the aim has been achieved. The evaluation of the objectives will be conducted from different perspectives.To analyze whether the project was beneficial from the personal view of the project manager/developer.Brief Description:In this modern world, the cost of living is rising day to day and it is more focused on technology for
reducing the additional expenses. The Smart Home Automation system project has been chosen by taking the increase in costs as an issue as it will allow the users to stay in a home that is energy efficient. This project will help to develop a smart house that is smart enough in keeping the energy levels low with automated applications. The smart home will allow the users to control the devices seamlessly whether they are present in the home or not. The implementation of this project will help to explore thevariety of different challenges in engineering along with software programming, PCB design, Wi fi, TCP/IP protocols, Web server and various other aspects. The project reflects on the insight into challenges associated with automation of devices as well as software and hardware engineering.This main motive of this project is the use of latest technology for making the domestic activities to be convenient, comfortable, secure and economical. The major components that are associated with the Home Automation system are:User Interface: This is an essential aspect for any system as this graphical platform will help the users to interact with the system for accessing the functionalities and performing operations.Transmission modes: The mode of transmission that are available for this particular system are Wired connections (Ethernet) or Wireless (includes Radio waves, infrared, Bluetooth, GSM and etc.)Controller Unit: This is central control hardware unit that will help to communicate with the user interface and controlling of the devices.The wireless technology will provide several advantages for the home automation system as illustrated below:Reduction in installation costs: The costs required for installation will be significantly reduced as there will be no necessity of cabling.Internet connectivity: The devices in the home can be controlled from anywhere in the world with the use of mobile phones.Scalability and Expandability: It offers support when an extension of the network is necessary in future for further adjustments. Security: Devices can be easily added to develop an integrated security system for homes and built-in security will ensure integrity of the smart home.The conceptual model for designing of the Smart Home Automation system illustrating the connection between the various devices is provided as below:
