I.INTRODUCTION

Homes of the 21st century will become more and more self-controlled and automated due to the comfort it provides, espe-
cially when employed in a private home and security currently become a very important issue in public or private institu-
tions in which various security systems have been proposed and developed for some crucial processes. Security systems are
vital for protection of information, property, and prevention from theft or crime in home.

A smart home is a network of various sensors and controllers integrated together to provide the user with remote
control of various devices within their home using IoT. The sensors sense various changes, monitor them, store the data and
display them in order for analysis and control. This helps us customize our home to fit every family’s way of life. This is a
cost effective system made from locally available components like PIC controller, light sensors and PIR sensors which al-
lows us to control the appliances of our house. The Internet of Things is connecting everyday objects intelligently to the
Internet to enable communication between things and people, and between things themselves. For the Objects to collect and
exchange data electronics, software, sensors and network connectivity are embedded into them. This technology has end-
less possibilities and infinite applications. Everyday devices are made smart and intuitive and by enabling them to share
data intelligently they can be used to improve people’s lives. IOT has made a huge impact in the way people live, work and
communicate.

IoT mainly has the following three characteristics: comprehensive perception, which means that entity's information
can be obtained at anytime and anywhere; reliable transmission, which means that entity's sensory information is required
to pass out accurately in real-time; intelligent processing, which means that the mass of information can be analyzed and
processed efficiently, then the entity's intelligent control is realized.

This paper describes a smart home where lighting system of the house is monitored and controlled remotely by estab-
lishing a remote server.

A .DESIGN OF SMART HOME CONTROL SYSTEM BY INTERNET OF THINGS BASED ON ZIGBEE

In this paper a smart home control system by Internet of Things based on ZigBee is designed. In this system, LM3S8962
processor is preferred for the replacement of the traditional 8-bit or 16-bit MCU. LM3S8962 processor is based on the
ARM Cortex-M3 core, specifically for embedded application and development of 32-bit flash processor; LM3S8962 pro-
cessor is used as an embedded WEB server to respond requests from the WEB browser. The ZigBee wireless communica-
tion module is used to receive and transmit control commands, and monitoring information of the home appliance will be
collected and transmitted to the control board at the same time. Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard for the
communication between Web servers and external programs. Thus, it can do information exchange between the client side
and the server side. This system enables the users can access WEB browser through the Internet at anytime and anywhere
to view the information of home appliances
B. Home automation using Internet of Things
This paper proposes home automation system (HAS) using Intel Galileo that employs the integration of cloud networking
,wireless communication, to give the user with remote control of various light, fans and appliances with in their home and
storing the data in the cloud. The proposed systems consist of servers and sensors. Server controls and monitors more
hardware interface module(sensors). The Galileo development board, with built in Wi-Fi card port which the card is in-
serted, act as web server. This system can accessed from web server of local PC or remotely from any PC or mobile hand-
held device connected to the internet. The system will automatically change on the basis of sensors data. This system is
designed to be low cost and expandable allowing a variety of devices to be controlled.

C. Internet of things based on home automation

This paper describes home automation system by Raspberry Pi 2 model B is used which is controlled by a Linux distribu-
tion of the Deben operating system, making use of an ARM architecture. All the components are connected to the Raspber-
ry Pi which controls their functioning. The objective is accomplished by using a Raspberry Pi which is connected to differ-
ent sensors and run by python program. The lights are programmed to turn off automatically if there is no one inside the
room or if a person enters the room but the room is bright. Raspberry Pi acts as a web server and an application using java
script is run to control the relay. Wi-Fi is used for communication between the devices.

D. DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF DOOR ACCESS CONTROL AND SECURITY SYSTEM USING IOT

This paper presents the design and implementation of an interactive home applications security system using biometric with
IoT Server. IoT based monitoring and control of equipment is forming a trend in automation field. The sensors send the
signal to the processor during hazardous situations. Buzzer will ring whenever sensors get activated or when unauthorized
persons try to open the door. Working of IoT based door locking system has two processes, at system and at IoT Server. In
order to open the door, the user must place finger on the biometric scanner. It checks in the database whether the entered
user finger prints is already stored or not, if finger print does not match then again the user must place finger for authentica-
tion. After 3 unsuccessful attempts buzzer will ring and send a message to the already registered phone numbers. If user’s
finger print is matched, then he/she has to enter the password on the system, if password is correct then security question
will be entered. If finger print, password and security question are all correct then door will open and the data will be send
to the IoT Server.

E. SMART HOME SYSTEM BASED ON ARM AND ZIGBEE

In this paper home automation by using combined technology of Zigbee, GSM and ARM is implemented. ARM9 is the
central controller of the smart home system. this controller achieve the automatic monitoring of home devices and take
control of individual sensors in monitoring household, once exceeding the preset threshold value it will automatically send

an alarm message to registered mobile phone. Besides it completes the task of sending alarm messages through the GSM
network, achieving the authentication and authorization of short messages which come from the mobile phone sending to
the control center. The monitoring of all devices and sensor is completed by the device monitoring process with the receiv-
ing sensor data of all endpoints of Zigbee network. The Zigbee gateway is initialized to create a network and wait for the
end points and routers to join after loading the device drivers.

When the connection established it will start reading the parameters of sensors. The threshold value for different
sensor is set. The sensor data are sent to the web server and stored in cloud. The data can be analyzed anywhere at any time.
If sensor parameters are greater than the threshold level then required actuation is done for the controlling of parameter.
The motion detection is stored in cloud for analysis. If there is any leakage of gas then it shows the notification in the web
server, then it will remotely controlled through internet. The required lights are turned on/off automatically by detecting the
light outside the house. the user can also monitor the electric appliances through the internet via web server. if the light or
electrical appliances are left on in hurry can be seen and turned off remotely through simply typing the IP address of the
web server.
