Chapter 2 – Literature Review
2.1 Introduction
At the point when individuals consider home automation, a large portion of them may
envision living in a keen home. One remote controller for each family unit apparatus, cooking
the rice consequently, beginning aeration and cooling system naturally, warming water for
shower normally and shading the window thusly when night coming. Individuals comprehend
that a smart home is not attributable to how well it is assembled, not how successfully it utilizes

11SMART HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM
space, not because of how it is ecologically inviting. It is simply because of how intuitive
advances that it contains. Those are as yet valuable guidelines for home computerization
innovation today. Hence, this section illustrates upon the concept of Smart Home Automation by
reviewing of previous studies and projects on home automation.
2.2 Domain based Literature Review
Home automation innovation and Smart home seemed particularly in sci-fi of the 1920s.
In any case, no one knows the right date of the making of home mechanization. In perspective of
human's savvy advancement upgrading process, the home computerization system cannot be
quickly developed. It comes well-ordered with just unimportant change (Jose and Malekian
2015). The past advance is practically same with the subsequent stage. Produces of laborsaving
machines have been promising mortgage holders a mechanized "Home of the Future" since the
World's Fair days of the 1930s. The smart home has been an outstanding vision for two or three
decades.
The principal run through people saw the high development in staying, they did some
relationship with home robotization and it was in 1960s. Authorities considered that before the
hundreds of years over people would live in smart homes that contained free family machined.
Although a considerable lot of the machines in these dreams are today actually conceivable to
fabricate obviously, the current circumstance is not precisely the same.
In the 1960s, there were less intelligent advances. Despite the fact that Stanford
University inquired about a considerable measure of this sort of innovation, they did not turn out
to be so fruitful. They closed some chief purpose behind not succeeding is logical research. A
portion of the variables are because of the absence of inspiration to expand profitability in
household work. They considered the less inclusion of clients of the innovation in the outline

12SMART HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM
procedure. They additionally closed the view held side-effect architects that household
innovation is unexciting and the proceeded with concentrate on remain solitary machines in the
outline of new innovation.
Home automation fulfills the occupant's needs and wants by flexible light, temperature,
encompassing music, programmed shading, wellbeing and security, even game plan of wire.
Home automation innovations are the most recent interest with lodging instrument (Kumar and
Lee 2014). Regardless, with the nearness of new electronic advances and their mix with more
settled, standard building progresses, the smart home is at last transforming into a reality. The
fundamental thought of home automation is to screen a residence by utilizing sensors and control
frameworks. Through movable different components, client can appreciate redid warm,
ventilation, lighting, and different servers in living condition. The all the more nearly modify the
whole living mechanical framework and circle control framework, the smart home can give a
more secure, more agreeable, and more vitality conservative living condition.
The present real activities in Japan, the US and Europe to grow more far reaching
frameworks started in the 1980s. In Japan, the expression "Home Automation" was first authored
among the Japanese organizations who demonstrated the soonest enthusiasm for the idea of a
total home control framework. The most punctual home control frameworks were proposed by
Hitachi and Matsushita in 1978. In 1980, Yoneji Masuda, one of the early pioneers of
computerization in Japan, composed the book "The Information Society As Post-Industrial
Society in which he examined changes in the public eye, data and learning enterprises,
investigated the innovation that would free individuals to live more imaginative and glad lives:
PC controlled vehicle frameworks, mechanized general stores, and so forth.

13SMART HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM
From the mid-1980s, numerous Japanese firms distributed their own home
computerization outlines, created exhibit houses and propelled restrictive frameworks. These
included major electrical machine producers, for example, Matsushita, Toshiba, Mitsubishi,
Sanyo, Sony, and Sharp. Some interphone organizations initially added security capacities to
their frameworks. Secom, a security benefits firm, developed its unique security framework to
build up a focal control station for remote control of home security (Piyare 2013). The TRON
project, which was begun in 1984, enveloped more than the other home automation bundles as of
now being worked on, being particularly worried about design and the experience of room inside
the house. In September 1988, the "Home Bus System" industry standard was issued. By 1987
more than forty driving producers had joined the undertaking. Some of them marked formal
contracts called "Exploration and Licensing Agreements", to create items. Another 25
organizations have framed business affiliations with SMART HOUSE to create applications.
Review of Foreign Studies
In their paper, Jacobsson, Boldt and Carlsson (2016), proposed the improvement of an
Internet-based framework to permit observing of critical process factors from a conveyed control
framework (DCS). This paper proposes equipment and programming plan contemplations which
empower the client to get to the procedure factors on the DCS, remotely and adequately, utilizing
just a usually accessible web program.
In their paper, Jain, Vaibhav and Goyal (2014), proposed a product design that makes
home automation (HA) framework in light of multi-specialist idea. The engineering is made out
of five primary parts separately named space operators, work specialists, individual inclination
operators, condition factors server, and asset get to right control bit. There is have to build an all
the more effective home automation both in the equipment and programming perspectives.

14SMART HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM
Kumar (2014), prescribed the use of talk to interface remotely with the home contraptions
to play out a particular movement in light of a legitimate concern for the customer. The approach
is inclined for people with inadequacy to perform honest to goodness operations at home by
organizing devices through talk. Voice separation framework is taken fitting decision by talk
affirmation.
In their paper, Teymourzadeh et al. (2013), see home automation frameworks as various
operator frameworks (MAS). In the paper home automation framework has been recommended
that incorporates home machines and gadgets that are controlled and kept up for home
administration. The significant undertaking is to enhance execution. Piyare and Lee (2013),
thinks about the issues with the usage of home robotization frameworks. Besides the conceivable
arrangements are concocted through different system innovations. There are a few issues
influencing home computerization frameworks, for example, absence of power, similarity issue
and adequacy among the old and incapacitated individuals.
As indicated by Chandramohan et al. (2017), one of the creator in "Ubiquitos Access to
Home Appliance Control System utilizing Infrared Ray and Power Line Communication,
proposed a home machine control framework in International Conference in Central Asia,
Tashkent, Uzbekistan in September 2007 which utilized Infrared Ray and electrical cable
correspondence to access and control the home apparatuses framework. This framework causes
client to check the status of apparatuses and controls them remotely from all around. Moreover,
this is done through their wireless or Internet. The straightforward way to deal with control the
home machines is given in this paper examined.
Bingol et al. (2014), proposed remote checking through PDA including the usage of
spoken commands. The spoken commands are created and sent as substance SMS to the control

15SMART HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM
structure and after that the microcontroller on the introduction of SMS takes a decision of a
particular endeavour. Piyare (2013), examines basic social protection organization for the
common people. An answer proposes the use of the compact web-progressions giving the PHC
organizations to the people of nation. The framework includes the utilization of SMS and phone
innovation for data administration, value-based trade and individual correspondence.
Batalla et al. (2016), proposed The "Remote Control utilizing Mobile through Spoken
Commands", which is a product framework for correspondence amongst versatile and PC. The
chip UART 16550A is modified with the help of control organization to help AT order. The
flexibility in this structure is used for tolerating and executing summons from preconfigured
customers and exhorting status about change in commitment to the customer through SMS. The
structure can in like manner send SMS to decided adaptable customer if there is a change in the
status of the data ports. This structure is not for time fundamental systems.
Ghazal and Al-Khatib (2015), "Discourse Recognized Automation System Using Speaker
Identification through Wireless Communication" A discourse perceived robotization framework
utilizing speaker distinguishing proof through remote correspondence is constructed and
actualized. The model made can control electrical contraptions in a home or office remotely. The
system realizes Automatic Speech Recognition using talk processor and Speaker Identification
through MATLAB coding using MFCC figuring.
2.3 Purpose of the project

server should be secured with the implementation of firewall and username and password for the
allowing the remote users to connect with the home network. The network should be enables
with vpn service such that the users can connect the network from remote location and control

26SMART HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM
the home device installed in the network. A proper cabling plan is used for interconnecting the
device installed in the network. A layer 2 switch is installed in the network and all the IoT
devices and the wireless router are connected with the switch. The IoT devices are installed away
from electrical equipment’s for avoiding the interference in the network and reduce the loss of
data packets for increasing the efficiency of the network.
3.9 Summary
The success of the network solution depends on the proper selection of the hardware and
the devices. A network management plan should be created and a project schedule should be
followed for the development of the network infrastructure. The servers installed in the network
for the management of the network device should be password protected for increasing the
security of the network. The implementation of the VLAN for connecting the core elements of
the network would also increase the performance of the network reducing the congestion in the
network traffic. The IoT devices installed in the network should be connected using a wireless
access point and the access point should be password protected for securing the network from
illegal access. An IP addressing plan should be created for allocating IP address to the IoT
devices that are connected in the network and server configuration should be conducted with
DHCP pool for auto allocation of the IP address to the devices connected in the network.

4.3 Challenges during implementation
Hypothetically the execution of the primary arrangement would have been fruitful
however sadly this was not the situation, in light of the fact that amid the usage organize it was
impractical to interface the gadgets besides that it was in trunk mode and it was fundamental that
the each port in the switch is in access mode. This was because that not at all like the switch
where it is possible to outline different VLANs on a singular physical interface; the firewall

28SMART HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM
interface however would not permit diverse VLANs to be distributed to a lone physical interface
partner by methods for a trunk line to the switch. This was an essential setback in the project,
subsequently an alternative course of action was found and realized and is highlighted in the next
section.

The significant challenge being faced amid usage was that there was an entire absence of
learning of how to utilize the recreation programming to execute the outline made in the system
chart. There was positively no involvement or information of designing gadgets utilizing the
Command Line Interface (CLI) or Switch Virtual Interface (SVI). For understanding this concept
and to pick up the important learning required various online video instructional exercises was
contemplated on the most proficient method to design gadgets in Cisco packet tracer. The other
issue was recalling the code and it was found that the best way to recollect it was to contemplate
and routinely rehearse it consistently in the programming.
