INTRODUCTION
The impact of home automation on domestic lifestyles will be as far ranging as
was that of factory automation on industry and its benefits will be available to all
sectors of society. Home automation can be achieved not only with the household
robot but with embedded computing power and memory within dozens of pieces of
domestic equipment, each of which can communicate with the user and with other
equipments. Within the integrated home system the communication media will
include infra-red, radio, mains wires, installed twisted wires and coaxial cable, and
later perhaps optical fibre. Applications will include security, lighting, heating,
cooking, washing appliances, audio and video systems, energy management as well
as a number of new applications such as health monitoring, home publishing and
entertainment.
Advantages and Utilities of Home Automation
Home automation provides a lot of benefits on human lifestyle. Remote
controlling or monitoring can be achieved with this system. So life may be more
comfortable and more secure. This system also provides added security for people in
regular days. For example, a person can check the complete house before leaving
through a display unit in the entranceway.
The Last Innovations at Home Automation
Nowadays home automation has much innovation. Some of these are bluetooth
home control, neural fuzzy, USB home control network system, RF network,
wireless home automation networks etc.
A neural fuzzy system controlling home appliances are to provide an efficient and
convenient integration and inter-operation among appliances in households. The
necessary software tools should present a comfortable user interface. One suitable
programming method for home automation systems is the definition of linguistic
rules that can be processed by a fuzzy system. It is assumed that the home system
adapts itself to the occupants' lifestyle. Based on this idea, an appropriate neuro
fuzzy controller has been presented by author.
HOME AUTOMATION STANDARDS
Most proposals for home automation communications have been derived from
other industries. The choice of protocol is important because it can impact network
performance and appliance costs. This is explained by discussing progress by the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) at establishing a worldwide standard for home automation
(Wacks, K.P., 1992).
CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION
The main advantage of the realized system over various security and control
systems is that it is a bidirectional control system. It contains both control circuit to
turn on/off electrical devices from remote locations and warning system to inform
dangerous situations such as fire, flood, etc. These are all realized using the simple
phone line which can be reached from everywhere. Besides this system has sound
feedback from devices and it can send voice messages in case of any danger.
