Integration of Sensor Network to Internet of Things (IoT) for Application of Smart Home using Open Source Computing

Abstract

Now days, everything in the world is almost becoming automated. Technology has changed the view through which earlier we used to look at the objects. In the 21st century, we are now opting for more easy options for accessing the technology and day to day objects. The best example is banking where in previous days; the account holder had to go far to the bank and stand in the queue and then transfer or cash the money. But same is now possible on even a basic cell phone where you can transfer the cash, pay the bills very easily not more than five minutes. Similarly booking of railway tickets has also been availed at just one click, where you can book tickets online and pay the fees online rather than standing in the queue and waiting for your turn. Since these public services are being simplified, the user is now searching a way of making his day to day life and house hold chores more easy and convenient. Imagine what would happen if you were able to monitor your house while wandering around the world, control the appliances of your home just from anywhere in the world, get the update of the house regarding any emergency like fire or burglary at your home. Or when any guest comes unexpectedly to your house and you will be late at your home, then seeing who the guest is and opening the door for him/her from any place. These all things are known as “Internet of Things (IOT)”. These all the flexibilities and possibilities had inspired us to move through this topic and explore more and more possibilities in this project. Especially in India where technology is taking a boom and going through the fastest growth the Country has ever seen. Through this project we are trying to visualize the integration of the smallest possible criteria like monitoring temperature of the home till largest possible of criteria like controlling and setting the Missile defense systems.
