Summary of the project

This project analyses  the  power  consumption  in  a standard room taking  into  account  commonly  used  appliances and  other devices  and shows the management capabilities  of  a room automation system as well as an estimation of the savings in terms of  power consumed  and cost.  The aim of the project is to measure the energy conservation . Smart room Automation with Energy Saver project is proposing this system protects waste of energy by switch OFF the lights of room if there is no one in the room and controls the Fan ON/OFF according to temperature of room. When system detects that there is nobody into the room then it auto switch of the room’s light or Fan by switching relay in OFF mode. When there will any person comes in the room then it automatically switches ON the light or Fan.

The application of internet of things in the modern world is the center of interest of many researchers and standardization bodies since several years. Internet of things mainly consists of two parts automations and analysis. Automation is an important topic which is more and more covered by various actors in the intelligent transportation systems, class automation field via many proposed solutions. Thus, in order to achieve the dream of automation, a special attention has given to the treatment of class automations and class management problem; especially when it comes to operating things with the help of mobile applications. In this context systems based on wireless operational technologies, are proposed to address this situation. Therefore, with increasingly high-speed networks, it is increasingly important to have mechanisms that keep throughput high. Our systems will certainly contribute to the concept of home automation and smart room automation is some way. The project will present the complete adaptation of the new methodologies of the intelligent smart room automation systems. We will also present a schema of the proposed model.

Project Objectives

Objective

The objective is to automatically control fans, lights and other appliances containing IR devices. This project instantly infers the power consumption in the smart rooms. The knowledge about the power wastage is used to suggest the smart room in which the operation of the electrical and electronic devices are automated. In our method we first estimated what are all the devices a classroom consist (i.e.) fan, light and other appliances. Some existing method had already control this kind of devices using infrared devices. Though the infrared devices are used, power wastage due to human negligence is possible. Hence by replacing the infrared devices with wireless sensor effective automation can be achieved in the smart  room. The smart classroom system controls automatic ON/OFF of fan and light system based on the presence and absence of the human inside the room and based on the temperatures of the room. The system is developed with the help of ARDUINO board which can be used to control the speed of an electric fan based on the changes in temperature of its surrounding using Thermistor. The idea is to plant several sensors around the room and give a calculated feedback to the response these sensors receive. An example would be having temperature sensors around the classroom that would detect the temperature and respond to any change by altering the fan speed. For light control, there will be PIR sensors that would detect student’s presence and cause the lights to turn on if students are near that area

Project Implementation Method

We can implement this project in various places such as hospitals , schools, and home

Benefits of the Project

Benefits

• The inefficiency of operation of conventional wall switches can be overwhelmed using various smart room automation systems (without using conventional switching methods).
• The loss of power can be reduced and manpower required for smart room automation is very less compared to conventional methods.
• The IR, RF, android application, Arduino, Bluetooth, DTMF, etc., based smart room automation systems can be more efficient, provides ease of operation.
• Provides safety from electrical power short circuits while using conventional wall switches to operate loads.
• Smart room automation system with automated door lock and security cameras facilitates more security.
• By using a smart room automation system, we can save a lot of time to operate class appliances from anywhere without waisting time.
• This is the biggest advantage of smart room automation.  With the ability to control the light, whether dimming or turning on/off on specific time will saves homeowner a great ton of money.  You can save money through room temperature.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

In this Smart room Control System project our aims to manage all the electrical system using automation technology. We use HMI (Human Machine Interface) and ESP8266 .There is an increasing demand in building for smart electric control system, where appliances can be controlled through switches and the HMI (Human Machine Interface) both. In this project we use HMI. It is employed to maximize the energy saving of the lighting system and satisfy the building codes.  It serves to provide the right amount of electric where and when it is needed. It complies and building energy conservation programs. It is designed using the complete automation technology. HMI interface and its screen design, input and output power wiring as well as control wiring. Each component serves a purpose in this system. Relays are used to control the output mode of operation. It can also show the power consumption rating through HMI screen and in our mobile phone apps. In our smart room project we are  using ESP8266 WiFi module Using this we will be able to control lights, electric fan and other room appliances through a web browser using your PC or mobile.
