ARCHITECTURE OF SMART HOME
The main controller or the hub is the most essential part of our Home Automation system
irrespective of whether we connect single or multiple sensors in your home.
The main controller or the hub is also referred to as gateway and is connected to our home
router through the Ethernet cable. All the IoT based sensors transmits or receive commands
through the centralized hub. The hub in turn receives the input or communicates the output
to cloud network located over the internet.
Smart Devices: The Sensory Organs of the Home
Smart Devices: The Sensory Organs of the Home
In IoT system as all the devices are integrated over a common network established by
gateway and connected in a mesh network.
This means that it gives users the flexibility to operate one sensor based followed by the
action of the other.
Most of the IoT based Home Automation systems available today work on three widely used
wireless communication protocols: Wi-Fi, ZigBee and Z-Wave
The ZigBee and the Z-Wave controllers are assigned a network ID which is distributed over
other sensors in the network.
The communication amongst devices take place in a mesh topology where there is no fixed
path for the signals transmitted from the controller to the sensors and vice versa.
If any intermediate sensor in the pathway is busy or occupied the signal will trace another
path within the mesh network to reach the destination.
Connected with the Cloud: Access Everything on the Go
The Cloud-based-Networking system involves storage and maintenance of data over the
Internet location. This gives users the flexibility to have access to the data from any location
on the planet.
As a result of this, in IoT based Home Automation systems users over the cloud network can
send commands to the hub even from a distant or remote location.
Events and Notifications: Get Notified Instantly
Real-time monitoring and notifications is one of the key features of IoT based
Home Automation systems.
The cloud network can receive and store all the user inputs and transfer them
to the hub as per the scheduled events.
Once the hub transfer the desired signals to the target sensor and the desired
action takes places, it will quickly upload the new status over the cloud
notifying user instantaneously.
THE MECHANISM THAT POWERS SMART HOME AUTOMATION
To grasp the functioning of a smart home system, it’s crucial to learn about these three key
concepts:
1. Sensors are used to capture data from the environment, detecting factors such as motion,
temperature, and light.
2. This data is then transmitted to a central control unit known as the smart hub.
3. The smart hub processes the incoming information and sends commands to actuators, which
are responsible for carrying out specific actions.
4. Whether it’s adjusting your thermostat, activating the security system, or controlling lighting
fixtures, the actuators bring the commands to life, ensuring a responsive and personalized living
experience.
IOT DEVICES IN SMART HOME
BENEFITS OF IOT FOR SMART HOME
Increased Energy Efficiency
One of the most significant advantages of IoT devices in smart homes is their ability to
conserve energy.
IOT-enabled devices like smart thermostats, lighting systems, and appliances can be
programmed to operate more efficiently, reducing energy waste and lowering utility
bills.
Improved Security
With IoT-enabled devices like security cameras, motion sensors, and door locks,
we can enjoy greater peace of mind knowing that our homes are protected around
the clock.
Personalized Comfort
A home should cater to our unique preferences, and IoT devices make customization a
breeze.
It copes with countless tasks while simplifying and improving our life
Numerous processes in our home will run autonomously but we still have the upper
hand of control
Improved Health and Wellness
With IoT devices, we can create a more comfortable and healthy living
environment.
Smart air purifiers and HVAC systems can be programmed to maintain optimal air
quality, while smart lighting can be adjusted to promote better sleep and improve
circadian rhythms.
THE FUTURE OF SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY
The future possibilities in smart home technology are boundless.
In the future, homes will possess the ability to learn our habits, analyzing
data from our daily routines to create personalized environments that
optimize comfort and efficiency.
