Low-Cost Home Automation System Exploiting Power Line Carrier Communication Architecture

Abstract

Smart home automation system demanding gained lot of attention since last one decade due to advanced communication facilities available such as LAN, WAN, Bluetooth, IOTs, etc. Due to large application and networking of all, generally this system has security issues, and many examples can be seen in part. Keeping view of all these challenges and threats this paper discuss the implementation of home automation framework which utilises the Powerline Carrier Communication (PLCC) to transmit the signals to control the various home appliances. The proposed system can be applied beneficially to help in energy utility companies for both client and company. It offers greater security and unwavering quality over Wi-Fi based automation systems as Wi-Fi and IoT systems associated with internet are prone to hacking. The proposed design includes the PLCC module KQ-330, Arduino UNO, Relay modules, active infrared sensors, and other electronics components in order to automate entire home. The operating states with different logic and based on timing are shown in result section it has been examined that proposed system is more secure and reliable with quick response time of operation.
