 ABSTRACT

The Internet of Things (IoT) becomes ubiquitous in engineering field and is perceived as
paradigms for applications such as a home automation system where data can be exchanged and
shared easily across the Internet. This project focuses on the implementation of the home
automation system with Telegram using Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) network access on any smart-
phone and laptop devices. It is highly beneficial for elderly, physically-challenged people and
travellers to control home appliances effortlessly. This system aims to solve the limitation faced
by the technology used in the existing home automation system such as Bluetooth -distance issue,
Global Standard for Mobile Communication (GSM) – cost issue and Zigbee – power and
bandwidth constraint. In fact, this system provides an interactive Telegram platform where data
can be interchanged and synchronized in which sensor’s readings and status of home appliances
can be monitored and manipulated consistently. The analytical findings based on temperature
sensor’s accuracy and system latency showed that the performance of the system is visable, and
the system proved to be more prominent than other home automation systems.

Keywords: NodeMCU, Telegram, DHT 22, Home Automation system, database, IoT.

 1. INTRODUCTION

Generally, the home appliances are either being controlled manually or with the aid of existing
communication technology such as Bluetooth, GSM and Zigbee. These methods, however, have
certain shortcomings such as the range of distance, low data transfer rate and call tariff. For
instance, Bluetooth’s network is restricted to a specified range of distance while GSM inflicted
short messaging service (SMS) charge which can be costly over time. Regardless, Zigbee has
lower transfer rate and not ideal for remote monitoring application. Moreover, the limitation in
Bluetooth and Zigbee technology pose explicit disadvantages especially for elderly or physically
challenged people to access home appliances and travellers to monitor and control home
appliances remotely.

Thus, one of the solution is by using the IoT based home switching system. In this paper the IoT
based home switching system via Telegram is proposed, analyzed and implemented. Equipped
with data encryption and ability to create Telegram Bot, Telegram messenger can be integrated
with Arduino compatible Wi-Fi board (NodeMCU) to allow people to machine communication,
which can certainly manipulate and monitor the status of home appliances with Wi-Fi access.
Besides, Telegram Bot API also made the platform more dynamic and user friendly due to its
versatile supports in various programming languages such as Python, C, and Java.The project is
comprised of both hardware and software parts.

1.1 About IOT

IOT as a term has evolved long way as a result of convergence of multiple technologies, machine
learning, embedded systems and commodity sensors. IOT is a system of interconnected devices
assigned a UIDS, enabling data transfer and control of devices over a network. It reduced the
necessity of actual interaction in order to control a device. IOT is an advanced automation and
analytics system which exploits networking, sensing, big data, and artificial intelligence
technology to deliver complete systems for a product or service. These systems allow greater
transparency, control, and performance when applied to any industry or system.

9
The software part for integration of Telegram and NodeMCU is conducted with C language on
Arduino IDE, whereas web user interface (web UI) is built with HTML, Bootstrap, Jquery and php
programming language. For hardware development, the components are constructed on
breadboard and interfaced with NodeMCU to test the feasibility of the system.

1.2 HOME AUTOMATION

Home automation or smart home (also known as domotics) is building automation for the home.
It involves the control and automation of lighting, heating (such as smart thermostats), ventilation,
air conditioning (HVAC), and security, as well as home appliances such as washer/dryers, ovens
or refrigerators/freezers. Wi-Fi is often used for remote monitoring and control. Home devices,
when remotely monitored and controlled via the Internet, are an important constituent of the
Internet of Things.Modern systems generally consist of switches and sensors connected to a central
hub sometimes called a "gateway" from which the system is controlled with a user interface that
is interacted either with a wall-mounted terminal, mobile phone software, tablet computer or a web
interface, often but not always via Internet cloud services. Home automation is the automation
process of home appliances and other home functions so that they can be controlled with your
phone, computer, or even remotely. Below is a list of some home automation projects which are
based on various microcontrollers, arduino, raspberry pi, etc

1.2.1 TECHNOLOGY

In this context, the IoT and platforms such as Raspberry pi allow common users to create their
own hardware and communicate remotely with them through the Internet, as already highly used
among people via smartphone messenger applications like WhatsApp or Telegram.The main
contribution of this paper is to introduce the potential of the Telegram application applied to the
IoT through Telegram Bot API on the communication between people and the Raspberry pi
platform, exploring technologies that allow an application originally used in communication
between people to be used in the communication between people and machines.The idea of a fully
functional smart home has been a dream since the mid of the twentieth century. The first trials

10
started in the 1960s with the use of domestic smart devices, but this has become a reality only
during the last decades. Smart home, as a term, was also introduced in 1984 by the American
Association of House builders. Since then, things have dramatically changed with significant
advances in the domain of intelligent building control. More specifically, houses, schools, and
offices security can be drastically enhanced through electrical and electronic equipment while their
energy footprint minimized with inner climate control which maximizes the comfort and safety of
the occupant. Automation has become important in today’s world as it helps to complete a task
with lesser human assistance and in a smarter way. Houses are becoming smarter and developed
these days with the help of automation devices. Home electrical appliances are using remote-
controlled switches rather than conventional switches. In today’s world, most of the people have
access to smartphones and its use have become very popular and essential in our lives. We can use
smartphones to control the household appliances with just one click or one message. With the help
of controllers and communication devices home appliances can be remotely controlled. In this
project, we will use the Arduino UNO board for the development of Smart Home Automation
project with the HC-05 Bluetooth module which is remotely controlled by a smartphone. It can be
really helpful for the paralyzed people who cannot do their work on their own and such devices
can become a great help for these people.

1.3 BACKGROUND

The concept of “Home Automation” has been in existence for several years. “Smart Home”,
“Intelligent Home” are terms that followed and is been used to introduce the concept of networking
appliance within the house. Home Automation Systems (HASs) includes centralized control and
distance status monitoring of lighting, security system, and other appliances and systems within a
house. HASs enables energy efficiency, improves the security systems, and certainly the comfort
and ease of users. In the present emerging market, HASs is gaining popularity and has attracted
the interests of many users. HASs comes with its own challenges. Mainly being, in the present
day, end users especially elderly and disabled, even though hugely benefited, aren’t seen to accept
the system due to the complexity and cost factors.

11
1.4 CONCEPT OF DEVELOPMENT

On the other hand, advances in technology also allow to users with no specific knowledge to
create hardware prototypes, as automation to be used in daily situations, and the Raspberry pi
platform is a good example of technology that supports the Do It Yourself (DIY) concept. The
Raspberry pi is one of the most known and used platform regarding hardware prototypes
construction, being used even for some final projects. This platform is very effective for small-
scale projects construction, it is open source and it does not require specific knowledge for projects
development. The concept of “Home Automation” has been in existence for several years. “Smart
Home”, “Intelligent Home” are terms that followed and is been used to introduce the concept of
networking appliance within the house. Home Automation Systems (HASs) includes centralized
control and distance status monitoring of lighting, security system, and other appliances and
systems within a house. HASs enables energy efficiency, improves the security systems, and
certainly the comfort and ease of users. In the present emerging market, HASs is gaining popularity
and has attracted the interests of many users. HASs comes with its own challenges. Mainly being,
in the present day, end users especially elderly and disabled, even though hugely benefited, aren’t

 2. LIERATURE REVIEW

“Smart Energy Efficient Home Automation System using IOT”, by Satyendra K.

Vishwakarma, Prashant Upadhyaya, Babita Kumari, Arun Kumar Mishra.
This paper presents a step-by-step procedure of a smart home automation controller. It uses IOT to
convert home appliances to smart and intelligent devices, with the help of design control. An energy
efficient system is designed that accesses the smart home remotely using IOT connectivity. The proposed
system mainly requires, Node MCU as the microcontroller unit, IFTTT to interpret voice commands,
Adafruit a library that supports MQTT acts as an MQTT broker and Arduino IDE to code the
microcontroller. This multimodal system uses Google Assistant along with a web based application to
control the smart home. The smart home is implemented with main controller unit that is connected with
the 24-hour available Wi-Fi network. To ensure, that the Wi-Fi connection do not turn off, the main
controller is programmed to establish automatic connection with the available network and connected to
the auto power backup.

“IOT Based Smart Security and Home Automation”, by Shardha Somani, Parikshit Solunke,
Shaunak Oke, Parth Medhi, Prof. P. P. Laturkar.
This paper focuses on a system that provides features of Home Automation relying on IOT to
operate easily, in addition to that it includes a camera module and provides home security. The
android application basically converts Smartphone into a remote for all home appliances. Security
is achieved with motion sensors if movement is sensed at the entrance of the house; a notification
is sent that contains a photo of house entrance in real time. This notification will be received by
the owner of the house via internet such that app can trigger a notification. So owner can raise an
alarm in case of any intrusion or he/she can toggle the appliances like opening the door if the
person is a guest. The system uses Raspberry Pi, a small sized computer which acts as server for
the system. The smart home consist two modules. Home automation that consists; fan light and
door controller, and security module that consists; smoke sensor motion sensor and camera
module.

“A Dynamic Distributed Energy Management Algorithm of Home Sensor Network for Home
Automation System”, by Tui-Yi Yang, Chu-Sing Yang, Tien-Wen Sung.
This paper proposes an optimization of home power consumption based on PLC (Power Line
Communication) for an easy to access home energy consumption. This also proposes a Zigbee and
PLC based renewable energy gateway to monitor the energy generation of renewable energies.
ACS and DDEM algorithm are proposed for the design of an intelligent distribution of power
management system to make sure ongoing power supply of home networks. To provide efficient
power management the power supply models of home sensor network are classified groups viz.
main supply only, main supply and backup battery, rechargeable battery power and non-
rechargeable battery power. Devices with particular features are assigned to these groups. It targets
to establish real time processing scheme to address variable sensor network topologies.

“A Low Cost Home Automation System Using Wi-Fi based Wireless Sensor Network
Incorporating internet of Things”, by Vikram.N, Harish.K.S, Nihaal.M.S, Raksha Umesh, Shetty
Aashik Ashok Kumar.
This paper illustrates a methodology to provide a low cost Home Automation System (HAS) using
Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi).This crystallizes the concept of internetworking of smart devices. A Wi-
Fi based Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is designed for the purpose of monitoring and
controlling environmental, safety and electrical parameters of a smart interconnected home. The
primary requirement of HAS to monitor and control of devices is accomplished using a
Smartphone application. The application is developed using Android Studio based on JAVA
platform and User Interface of those are exemplified. The primary focus of the paper is to develop
a solution cost effective flexible in control of devices and implementing a wide range of sensors
to to capture various parameters.

“Enhance Smart Home Automation System based on Internet of Things”, by Tushar Churasia
and Prashant Kumar Jain.
This paper proposes a system that develops a model to reduce the computation overhead in existing
smart home solutions that uses various encryption technologies like AES, ECHD, hybrid, etc. these
solutions use intermediate gateway for connecting various sensor devices. The proposed model
provides a method for automation with sensor based learning. The system uses temperature sensor

14
for development but other sensors can also be used as per requirement. These smart home devices
with sensors can configure themselves autonomously and can operate without human intervention.
This work minimizes encryption decryption and focuses on authentication and automation of smart
home devices with learning. The system bypasses local gateway mentioned in existing system to
provide better security for smart home devices and sensor data and save computation overhead.

3.METHODOLODY

The general block diagram of the IoT based homes witching system using the Telegram shownin
Fig.3.1. Main control panel will monitor and parse incoming requests from Telegram user via Wi-
Fi network to decide corresponding action(measuring ambient temperature/ humidity or
controlling home appliances). Ambient temperature and humidity will be measured by DHT 22
regularly and the data will be pushed to mysql database for data-logging.

Fig :3.1 General block diagram of the system

15
3.1 WIRELESS CONTROL

This system is designed and installed at housing area specifically to facilitate physically challenged
people or elderly’ welfare and concerned travellers about their houses conditions. Due to user-
friendly and dynamic features of IoT platform across the Internet, data can be retrieved and shared
easily and therefore, the designed system is more flexible and suitable for people of all age. This
system aims to create a border-less communication between people and machines and thus,
emphasizes on carrying out wireless remote control access.

The Telegram messenger is used as the main framework to initiate HTTP communication on the
client side and connect it with server and controller side. It can be accessed from both laptop and
smart-phone wirelessly. Therefore, users can simply enter a predefined command to forward to
main control panel where it will decide for the further actions such as to trigger the state of the
actuator (home appliances). The designed and supported and accessible on browsers of both laptop
and smart-phone. Moreover, application is run and hosted on a local server (Wampserver) or on
free domain. This provide a platform to make the system more user-friendly and dynamic to use.
Thus, redirect users to the designed page and provide access on the widgets on the page to control
home appliances. It also as alternative to access the home switching system if either one fails to
function properly.

3.2 Hardware Design

Hardware design of the system will focus on the construction of the main control panel along with
its peripherals. Fig. 3.2 demonstrated the layout of the hardware block diagram of the system. The
main control panel consisted of NodeMCU, DHT 22 sensor, relay module, voltage regulators and
actuators.The main reason that NodeMCU is used in this system is due to its capability to connect
to the Internet and its power saving feature. ESP8266 draws only 60A in deep sleep mode and it
can stay in low power standby mode unless Wi-Fi network is required for communication. Apart
from that, NodeMCU is also inexpensive, Arduino compatible (can be programmed in Lua or C)
and has vast supports in Arduino community.

16
Compared with Arduino UNO without Wi-Fi module, a Wi-Fi shield or Ethernet shield is needed
to access the Internet.The Internet of things (IoT) is the inter-networking of physical devices,
vehicles (also referred to as "connected art devices"), buildings, and other items embedded with
electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity which enable these objects to
collect and exchange data. The Global Standards Initiative on Internet of Things (IoT-GSI) defined
the IoT as "a global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by
interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving interoperable
information and communication technologies" and for these purposes a "thing" is "an object of the
physical world (physical things) or the information world (virtual things), which is capable of
being identified and integrated into communication networks". The IoT allows objects to be sensed
or controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more
direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, and resulting in improved
efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit in addition to reduced human intervention.

Fig :3.2 Hardware block diagram of system

DHT22 is chosen because of its capability to measure ambient humidity and temperature. The
reasons that it is used instead of the thermistor are because it is a dual-functional component and
easy to set up in NodeMCU by just importing Adafruit library. The only limitation of this
component is that it is not water-resistant.

17
3.3 Wiring connection

The electric current of the whole system is supplied from the power outlet of 240VAC. As the
voltage specification of each device is different, it is necessary to regulate the voltage accordingly
to the several voltage ratings (3.3 VDC, 5 VDC and 240 VAC). Each of the components presented in
the wiring connection in Fig. 3.2, they are classified and denoted by red, blue and green color
respectively.

Table 3.1 : Voltage rating of each component

Based on Table 3.3, since there are various voltage ratings in our system, voltage regulator circuit
is required to regulate voltage from power source (240 VAC) to 3.3 VDC and 5 VDC. The voltage
regulator circuit is constructed with step-down transformer, rectifier, filter, and IC regulator.

3.4 Algorithm’s design

The Algorithm’s design will illustrate the main system interaction with the Telegram in flowchart.
As depicted in Fig. 3.3, the system will connect to Wi-Fi network first and then will check for
routines with its built in timer such as interaction of users and Telegram, publishing of sensors’
readings and synchronization of Telegrama.

Basically, the system will monitor whether there is request from Telegram user via its getUpdates()
function and will parse the messages to carry out the intended work. After that, sensor’s parameters
(humidity and temperature) are measured within every hour and passed as query string parameters
along the http get request to be stored in the mysql database.In addition, the sensor readings are
also retrieved from database and displayed on the web UI for the purposes of illustration and
monitoring. Last but not least, both Telegram and web UI’s routines are synchronized to each other

18
so that the current output states are up to date.Node MCU is an open source IOT platform. It
includes firmware which runs on the ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC from Espressif Systems, and hardware
which is based on the ESP-12 module. The term “Node MCU” by default refers to the firmware
rather than the development kits. The firmware uses the Lua scripting language. It is based on the
eLua project, and built on the Espressif Non-OS SDK for ESP8266. It uses many open source
projects, such as lua-cjson, and spiffs.

Fig: 3.3 System Flowchart

This flow chart shows the working of the project. The process starts be initializing the Wi-Fi, the
network name and password are written in the code and uploaded to Node MCU. The android

19
device is connected to Node MCU over Wi-Fi. The Blynk server is set up and connection is made,
the devices is identified in the Blynk server using the generated authentication token. The
command for controlling the load is given to the application, and this command, over Wi-Fi
network is sent to the Node MCU.

4. RESULT AND DISCSSION

4.1.Results

NodeMCU monitors and triggers the action based on the code parsed from Telegram user. The
meaning of each code is depicted as in Table 4.1 below. The code will be parsed using multiple if
statement as in Fig. 4.1 to carry out task accordingly.

by Telegram user and the responses from the Telegram Bot (Led is On and Led is off). Meanwhile,
yellow circle implied the output status corresponding to the request. It showed that the LED
functioned accurately with the code.
Likewise, the status of LED and the measuring of temperature and humidity readings are
illustrated as in Fig. 4. The ambient temperature and humidity reading process as in Fig. 6(b) is
simplified since the import of DHT.h library in the code will calculate the readings automatically.

4.2 DHT sensor temperature reading analysis

Table 4.2 Indoor temperature readings (DHT 22 and digital thermometer), readings taken in 12
hours period.

Table 4.2: Indoor temperature readings

This experiment in this section is conducted in order to verify the accuracy of DHT sensor with
respect to conventional digital thermometer. As shown in Table 4.2, parameters such as
temperature (in Celsius) for each DHT 22, DHT 11 and digital thermometers are denoted as TDHT
22 , TDHT 11and Tdigital .

These parameters are measured indoor hourly from 12:09 PM to 1:09AM on 23rd, September 2018
and are recorded in the three left columns of Table 4. In addition, the percentage of error of each
sensor, denoted as e22/% and e11/% are calculated by comparing with the measurement of digital
thermometer as standard value and later tabulated in the two right columns of Table 4. As a result

23
of the experiment, DHT 22 showcased an expected higher accuracy than DHT 11 as its percentage
of error ranged from ±1%, while the latter one reached approximately ±4%.

Fig : 4.2.1 Graphical illustration of DHT 22 and digital

thermometer’s temperature readings.

As for Fig. 4.2.1 and Fig. 4.2.2, the graphical illustration of the temperature readings from DHT
sensors, digital thermometer and percentage of error are illustrated in line graph. Overall, it showed
that DHT 22 produced less deviation readings to digital thermometer, thus demonstrated the lowest
percentage of error as in Fig. 4.2.2. Hence, DHT 22 produced more feasible results than DHT 11.

 5. CONCLUSION
This project has been developed in both hardware and software parts where the developed source
codes are tested on the hardware to test its feasibility. The achieved outcomes were promising as
the data can be sent react by the controller accurately via wireless Internet environment. This
project is only tested with direct current (DC) application such as LED. The success achieved from
the operating ON / OFF LED is capable of extending to the AC electric circuit. Where in this
experiment, there is no test on the AC circuit. However, it is possible to use a DC to AC relay to
connect the AC circuit load.

In a intense study of Internet of Things, I found it to be hypothetical based on its purpose of

application. It means IoT provides a lot of automation by connecting things. Connecting things
has been made easy by the various sensors and embedding them them to the devices. In my
instance of application with telegram messenger, I have used bots to communicate with the
connected things in a house. Later by the statistical report given by the bot any user can take the
decision on automation of house. With the emerging technologies, I have been successful in
exploring the connectivity of various things in a house and also as a network specialist I also
reported the pros and cons of connecting things. In future I would see the connected things at a
different applicative arena, where it could be used in all contingency situations. It is found that
IoT can be implemented and integrated with any software application. So this thesis is just an
instance of IoT's implementation using a messenger application.
