• Well, the goal of our project is to make a device that would directly fit into the existing classic old-school switches in any
household. The idea is to make use of the IoT concept in the Home automation environment and also to provide some
amount of security against theft.
• The proposed system tackles these two problems very effectively, as the entire system will be a direct application that fits
into the centre of the existing network of old appliances, and also provide scope to expand the automation features for the
future appliances.

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
Because there is a requirement for two distinct automation and security modules and services.
We have no choice but to replace all existing gadgets with smart devices that will be
automated. Updating real-time data also aids in keeping track of the current state of all linked
devices. Existing industrial automation solutions have the issue of interfacing, which
necessitates the purchase of a new device after the setup is complete.
Product name with drawbacks: Alexa, Google Home, Philiphs Smart Bulb
• The main objective of the project is that the users will be able to log in to the database and
get all the necessary information about the current working state of the device without
needing to send any requests.
• A user will be able to switch ON or OFF home appliances, through the website in a
centralized form.
• They will get a security alert in case of a breach in the house.
• Reducing the economic impact on user when they wish to implement home automation
solutions.
• The Internet of Things (IoT) is the technology that connects everything. The devices are cleverly
linked together, enabling new forms of communication between people and objects, as well as
among themselves.
• IoT has been widely used, for example, in Agriculture, Smart Home, Comfort, Safety, Security, and
Energy. People's needs are increasing these days. They all need to be able to control everything
with one hand. They require a safe, secure, and intelligent house.
• IoT is network of interconnected computing devices which are embedded in everyday objects,
enabling them to send and receive data. Over 9 billion ‘Things’ (physical objects) are currently
connected to the Internet, as of now. In the near future, this number is expected to rise to a
whopping 20 billion.
• a. Different types of Sensors: Temperature Sensors, Image Sensors, Gyro Sensors, Obstacle
Sensors, RF Sensor, IR Sensor, MQ-02/05 Gas Sensor, LDR Sensor, Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
In this Home Automation and Security using Raspberry Pi, it is used for the intelligent control of this
system.
• All of them feature a Broadcom system on a chip (SoC) with an integrated ARM-compatible
central processing unit (CPU) and on-chip graphics processing unit (GPU).
• RPi also houses on the board HDMI port, 3.5 mm analogue audio/video jack, 4X USB 2.0,
Ethernet, Camera Serial Interface, Display Serial Interface.
• One of the most popular OSs used for the Raspberry Pi is the Raspbian Operating system. It is
based on the Debian OS, optimized for the RPi hardware.
• It has Quad core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC @ 1.5GHz.

Step 1: Interfacing the Raspberry Pi enhancement kit with various sensors and actuators.
Step 2: Authentication of the user using the authentication ID or API key and connecting the Dev-
Board to the Firebase.
Step 3: Reading the current state of devices and send the data to the Firebase-Realtime Database.
Step 4: Updating the data from Firebase-Realtime Database onto the website and sending control
commands to the Dev-Board through the Firebase-Realtime Database.

Home Automation and Security mini-project plays an important role for conserving the overall
consumer cost by centralizing the home automation system through a web-application, prototype and
server and it also increases the home security. Here some advantages are mention below:
• Increases Security
• Highly Centralized
• Cost-Effective
• Better use of available resources and assets.
• Increased energy efficiency.
• Improved appliance functionality
• Complex Installation
• Dependency on Professionals
• Dependency on Internet
• Lack Of Public Awareness And Social Responsibility
• This mini-project acts as a centralized hub for all the appliances one wish to automate.
• The presence of cameras, motion sensors, and other couple of sensors ensures the security updates by
reporting the breach.
• If one wishes to reduce the overall implementation cost of the system, the mini project is the best to
use.
• It can assist in the smarter control of homes and cities via mobile phones. It enhances security and
offers personal protection.
• By automating activities, it saves us a lot of time.
• Information is easily accessible, even if we are far away from our actual location, and it is updated
frequently in real time.

FUTURE SCOPE
• Use of Raspberry Pi ensures the future prospect for utilizing powerful AI algorithms for better
security and control.
• The state of room (example- temperature, lighting) will change according to personalized
choices and preferences an individual.
• Will reduce the overall home automation implementation cost as compared to the current
market standards.
• Use of proprietary website to reduce the 3rd party charges.
Based on all the research and survey of this project we come to the conclusion which is mentioned
below:
• The results of our project work support our hypothesis that the Home Automation and Security
mini-project would play an important role by solving the problem of overall consumer cost by
centralizing the home automation system through a web-application, prototype and server and
it also increases the home security and will solve the power consumption problem.
• The final conclusion drawn from our project work is that the prototype is very efficient and it
can be used in Indian households.
