Intelligent Home Monitoring Using RSSI in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Automated systems have become deeply involved in our daily life these days. Every day new researches and solutions are introduced in the worldwide to utilize computer systems to satisfy human needs. In this project we propose a “Intelligent Home Security Monitoring System” (IHMS) using RSSI in Wireless Sensor Networks. This paper presents a system using Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) enabled smart home environments to create pervasive and ubiquitous applications, which give scalable services and context-aware to the end users. This system develops an application and reports its implementation on real WSN to provide remote home security. There is a plan to use variations in received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value to find intrusion activity at home. Architecture of an application has been presented consisting of Moteivs Tmote Sky motes and a base station. The application sends a piece of alarm as a short message (SMS) on cellular phone of the homeowner in case of any intrusion activity has been detected at home.
