Smart Office IoT Network Design and Remote Control Project

This project outlines the design and implementation of an IoT-based smart office network connecting a main office in Sydney with a branch office in Bathurst. The Sydney office includes various smart devices like ceiling fans, windows, doors, motion detectors, sprinkler systems, smoke detectors, temperature monitors, and wind speed detectors, all connected via a wireless router and registered on a remote server. The project details the configuration of these devices, including setting up wireless connectivity, IP configurations, and registration accounts. It also demonstrates remote control of these devices from the Bathurst office, including actions like turning off sprinklers and ceiling fans, locking doors, and automating window adjustments based on carbon monoxide levels. The project utilizes Cisco Packet Tracer for network simulation and includes screenshots and network diagrams to illustrate the design and functionality of the smart office network, focusing on enhancing security and automation through IoT devices.

to wireless for each of the IoT device for connecting with the wireless access point. A tablet
is used for connecting with the registration server and a new account is created with the
student ID for management of the IoT device connected in the network.

Figure 11: Network diagram of the Sydney and Bathrust Office
The branch office is added in the existing network of Sydney office and for enabling
remote connection between the branch office and the main branch and control the IoT
devices.
Figure 12: Turning off the sprinkler
The tablet connected with the branch office router is used for controlling the IoT
sprinkler and the address of the registration server is inputted in the web browser for
controlling the sprinkler.
Figure 13: Turn off the ceiling fan
The tablet is also used for controlling the ceiling fan and there are other options are
also available such as running it in low or high speed.

The tablet can also be used for opening or locking the door and it is set to lock in the
current configuration of the network solution.
Figure 15: Addition of condition for opening windows according to CO level
For unlocking the window 1 and window 2 according to the level of co in the inside
and the outside environment of the smart office the carbon monoxide detector is used and
conditions are applied for automating the closing and opening of the windows.
Figure 16: Turning on the smoke alarm
The smoke alarm is used detection of the smoke and securing the office area from
fire. It can be configured for creating alert and the alarm is turned on remotely.

Figure 17: Turning on the motion detector
Configuration of the motion detector helps to identify the activity and it can be
configured for improvement of the security of the network during for tracking the identity of
the user during the secure areas in the office premises.
Figure 18: Turning on the wind detector
The wind detector can be managed from the remote location for the identification of
the weather and gather information from the IoT device about the current weather condition
of the main office located at Sydney.
