    A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY - CURRENT FEATURES AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES Mrs. V ASHWINI Lecturer, Dept. of Management Studies, Bhavan’s Vivekananda College, Sainikpuri, Secunderabad. Telangana,India. Abstract: In this era of information Technology Internet has become a very crucial part of the peoples life . It is very hard for a day to start without the usage of the smart devices be it a smart phone or a wearable or any other related equipment . the usage of internet is increasing day by day as this interconnected network has made the life of the people more easier as they can access to anything from anywhere with one click. The world is moving towards The Internet of things which means the inter-networking of physical devices, vehicles also referred to as "connected devices" and "smart devices" buildings, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity which enable these objects to collect and exchange data through Wi-Fi controlled Via Internet This Paper focuses on Smart Homes - Designing a home for the future it is also known as domotic which is a building automation for the home. The world is running at a very faster pace and people and running even more faster . The 24 hrs in the clock is not a sufficient time to do all the activities so the world is moving to something called as a smart home which involves the control and automation of lighting, thermostats, air ventilation, Ac's , and security, as well as home appliances . Wi-Fi is often used for remote monitoring and control.

Consumers face unacceptable performance as nodes are increased and network bandwidth is consumed in physically constraining environments. Various network types and use cases, thus, are explored to determine current failure points in common IoT home smart devices. 2. Introduction At the time of this report, there has been an unprecedented uptake in the use of ‘smart’ devices in the home. The introduction of voice recognition platforms such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa has fueled the use of small, inexpensive, connected sensing and control devices. Controls for Heating and Air Conditioning have been popular, as well as various sensors for doors, windows, etc.. Perhaps the most pervasive has been the acceptance of these types of systems for lighting control. Due to the sheer number of nodes available in a home, lighting nodes to be controlled is very large. This research will focus on various types of network technologies with the goal of physically simulating small to large sets of devices to determine acceptable response time.

  • Low-Cost Manufacturing, Usability, and Security: an Analysis of Bluetooth Simple Pairing and Wi-Fi Protected Setup
    Low-cost Manufacturing, Usability, and Security: An Analysis of Bluetooth Simple Pairing and Wi-Fi Protected Setup Cynthia Kuo Jesse Walker Adrian Perrig Carnegie Mellon University Intel Corporation Carnegie Mellon University [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. Bluetooth Simple Pairing and Wi-Fi Protected Setup spec- ify mechanisms for exchanging authentication credentials in wireless net- works. Both Simple Pairing and Protected Setup support multiple setup mechanisms, which increases security risks and hurts the user experience. To improve the security and usability of these specifications, we suggest defining a common baseline for hardware features and a consistent, in- teroperable user experience across devices. 1 Introduction Bluetooth- and Wi-Fi-enabled devices are increasingly common. Already, manu- facturers ship around 10 million Bluetooth units and 4 million Wi-Fi units each week [1, 2]. Inevitably, consumers will perform security-sensitive transactions – including financial transactions – over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Thus, institutions should demand a basic level of assurance: that these technologies do not expose their systems or their customers’ accounts to additional risks. This implies that (1) the security mechanisms in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi should be at least as strong as the rest of the system; and (2) the mechanisms should be easy to use so that consumers can configure and use them correctly. We evaluate the security and usability of setup in the Bluetooth SIG’s Simple Pairing specification (August 2006) [3] and the Wi-Fi Alliance’s Protected Setup specification (released December 2006) [4]. These specifications were developed with two goals in mind: first, to make the technologies easy for non-expert users; and second, to address vulnerabilities in earlier versions of the technology.

  • PLCBUS-3160M Manuel US
    PLCBUS-R 3160M Shutter In-Line Module How does PLCBUS work ? Power line Communication Bus (PLCBUS) is a highly reliable, cost effective, 2-way communications technology which enables control products to utilize existing power lines for both residential and commercial applications. The most main feature of PLCBUS Technology is no any Filter and block necessary. • Modules : These components will receive PLCBUS signals and will switch or dim the attached lamp or appliance, and then feedback current status. • Controllers : These components will transmit PLC BUS signals and thus will control the Modules ; 2-way Communications. • Transceivers : Wireless components like remotes (433.92MHz). The signals of these components will be received by a controller wit h transceiver functionally (PLCBUS- T4023UK ). The Transceiver will translate the signals into PLCBUS signals on the power line. Addresses You can select up to 256 addresses by code set electronically. Each address is dividing into a House Code (A – P) and a Unit Code (1 – 16). On control the House code is also selectable. When Modules and Controllers are set to the same House Code, they will work together. The PLCBUS System contains many standardized commands where by modules set to the same House Code will respond simultaneously (e. g. All Lights On, All Units Off). For installer : To different families , PLC US also provide additional 250 User Codes (1 – 250 ). When you install for many houses in the same building, for each family, you should set a different User Code. Thus, 250User Codes x 256 Addresses = 64000 Addresses totally. 250 User Codes x 256 (House/Unit Codes) (1…250) (A…P / 1…16) (For 250 different families) (In each family) Signal Range I.

  • Required Submission Information for Each Award
    I. Market Overview The network system protocols market closely follows the trends in home and building automation markets. Home and building controls can effectively be performed through wireless and powerline platforms. In addition, several manufacturers produce systems based on proprietary protocols. Any changes in the home or building automations markets have a direct impact on the market demand for these platforms. The residential segment forms a major portion of the application for these platforms, driven by a growing awareness about the benefits rendered through home automation. In 2005, revenues for the North American home automation market were estimated at $1,268.9 million and the market is expected to witness steady growth in the future. As a result of this, the protocols market is also experiencing healthy growth. Another crucial trend in this industry is the developing shift from proprietary platforms to open ones, which offers interoperability and more flexibility to end- users. The industry is also witnessed an increasing interest in wireless solutions, which in turn has driven the markets for radio frequency (RF) platforms. Although wireless solutions have been able to make some headway in the home automation market, some critics remain unconvinced of their effectiveness in terms of reliability. On the other hand, powerline communication offers more reliability and an extended reach. Hence, there is a need for simple and affordable protocol that can offer the benefits of both RF and powerline platforms. Moreover, the use of this open platform is likely to enable end-users to choose from a range of products, which is not feasible when using native or proprietary platforms.
