Automation focused on Power line Communications and the Internet of Things

Abstract

Power line carrier is available in every home for power supply. However instead of inserting optical fibre and ethernet for communication medium, the power line carrier can be utilized. The aim of this study is to implement the low-cost home automation by integrating the GSM/GPRS modem and PLCC modem. With the assistance of these two modems, the home automation can be implemented from any location. Blynk application is been implemented in this study for controlling the home appliance like fan, bulb and AC.
