2.  Global home automation market is
estimated to grow from USD 16, 879.9
million in 2011 to USD 47,378.2 million
in 2018 at a CAGR of 15.8% from 2011
to 2018.
 In India, it is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 30% over the 5 years till 2016.

To fuel India's growth and rapidly expanding industrial production,
productivity and quality improvement are essential. This makes
modernization and automation essential.
 With applications such as security, lighting and energy
management likely to play an important role in achieving this
significant growth rate.

4. But the idea of giving them interoperability using a common “language”, or
intergrating different modules brings a new concept of a home network full of
possibilities.
• 24 hour surveillance over property.
• Motion detector
• Night lamps for elderly people and children
guide their way during night.
• Automatic Sprinklers save laborious work.
• Automatic outdoor lights switch on when it
gets dark and off at dawn.
• Gas leak sensor and Water overflow sensor
help to keep check.
• Automatic Garage door
• Video intercom.
• By development of standard-
based technologies that can be
integrated into existing
communications/utility
infrastructure of modern
homes, will result in lower cost
systems that eliminate the
need for bulky hardware and
cabling.
• Our objective is to develop this
system using Open Source.
Homeland security
Accessibility
Energy saving
Convenience

5. We choose different control systems on the basis of
necessity and relevance :
• Outdoor Lighting and Night lamps
- Outdoor lights switch on and off automatically when its dusk and
dawn break respectively.
• Automatic Garage Door Opener
- Using Number Plate Recognition System – Camera recognizes the
owner’s car number plate before opening the garage door.
• Automatic Sprinklers
- Sprinklers get on and off automatically by sensing
the soil humidity and temperature.
• Security and Surveillance
- Front door Camera, Motion Detector security.
• Air Conditioner control
- Control A.C from a remote controller from any distance.

6. BeagleBoard-xm: The USB-powered BeagleBoard is a low-cost, fan-less single
board computer/CPU that unleashes laptop-like performance and expandability
without the bulk, expense, or noise of typical desktop machines.
Arduino: Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform
based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software.
Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of
sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other
actuators.
ZigBee: ZigBee is a specification for a suite of high level communication
protocols (wireless) used to create personal area networks built from small,
low-power digital radios.
We interface each individual the automatic hardware to the
Beagleboard via Hi-speed Communication protocols like Ethernet,
Zigbee wireless module.
Linux: Linux is an Open Soure Operating system. We build control applications
on this platform which will act as the User Interface. To make handling user-
friendly we interface Beagleboard with a Touchscreen.

7. Garden sprinklers
Lighting control:
- Whole house
- Outdoors
- Night
emergency
Air conditioner control
• Automatic dustbin
• Gas leakage &
water overflow control
• Intercomm
• Multi room audio
• Code based door lock system
Beagleboard
Communication
via zigbee,
ethernet
Garage door opener

8. 1. Beagleboard development
 We boot linux/ubuntu image over
the beagleboard.
 Using various Open source tools, we
Create User applications in linux using
C/C++.
 For communication among the
Control modules, Zigbee and Ethernet
Is used. They provide high-speed
Communiation.
2. Hardware development
To run hardwares, like sprinkler valve
Control and Garge door motor, we use
ARDUINO micro-controller.
Methodology

9. 3. Integration :
• Each hardware control unit i.e Garage door Lighting
Sprinkler Security Camera
• Is then integrated to the Beagleboard via communication protocols,
Ethernet and Zigbee.
• Beagleboard has a very fast processor to give us results in real –time.
• Overall capital required to build the prototype – 40,000 INR
• Cost involves:-
Beagleboard + Touchscreen
Arduino, Hardwares (garage shutter material, Sprinklers, motors)

10. - Household activities become
Easier and nothing much to worry
about.
- Homeland Security is an issue of
great importance. Home Automation
takes care of property while the owner
is away.
-
- Generates employment.
It speeds up the developmental
processes of the society.
- Check on Energy
consumption.
- Distance reduction
through technological
advancements in the
field of
communication
network.
- Affordability -
building
this system using
Open Source will bring
the cost down.
Impact

11. Relevancy & Cost :
• Not all the systems are relevant
for all households in India.
Although, we aim at engulfing as
many modules like Pool & Spa,
media entertainment related
systems keeping cost and
demand in mind.
• Presently, the cost of Home
automation Products is very
high. We aim at making Home
Automation accessible to middle
class as well.
• Study of site : stand-alone
houses, apartment, office
• User-friendly interface:
The system must not be
difficult for the consumer
to operate on.
• Durability: The system must
be flexible to meet demands
for its expansion when the
site is altered in future.
• Reliable: Fool-proof motion
detection security and
surveillance.
