Home Automation through Smart Lighting, Smart Security and other Appliances

Abstract

The smart home automation system is designed to conveniently manage and monitor household appliances and lighting fixtures remotely, to save time and to use resources effectively. It is a control system for allowing access to home automation devices. The automation devices include lights, fan, camera and doors. It even enhances the main features of the project to control the home appliances from anywhere as remotely. With the camera module, continuous surveillance and protection of the home is accomplished. A significant improvement is achieved in utility costs by an optimal use of energy. Using inexpensive electronic and interactive tools, this initiative can be applied, making it economically, physically and operationally feasible. Basically it involves controlling everything remotely via a visual interface and mobile application. The automation system employs the use of MQTT protocol in order to secure the transmitted device based information to and from in the network. The defense against Man in the Middle attack (MITM) is the main focus of our automation system. The routed messages are checked at the intermediate hub to check for the occurrence of MITM based DoS attacks through manual reset points. .
