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. -

ISBN: 978-981-07-6184-4 doi:10.3850/ 978-981-07-6184-4_60 A Comparative Study of Wireless Technologies: Zigbee, Bluetooth LE, Enocean, Wavenis, Insteon and UWB *Ms. Harneet kaur, #Ms. Sukesha Sharma Abstract-The major design challenge of home automation is to powered and battery less with low power radio frequency choose best standard for controlling devices in existing home (RF). Radio frequency having a biggest advantage over environments without any changes in infrastructure. In recent infrared (IR) that new devices can easily be added or removed years Zigbee was the promising technology for home from the network. Individual devices forming a network and automation. But, nowadays there are some other standards all are working together in harmony. After forming a network which give their best for controlling home devices. This paper presents an overview of different wireless communication there are certain events that takes place like manual events, standards by comparing their main features in terms of various timed events and triggered events. All devices are connected metrics such as range, frequency band, maximum node count, to common network and controlled by a central regulation security, and cost. and control unit. There are three types of controls systems such as: -Individually control system: Only one appliance or function Keywords: Wireless technologies, Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, is controlled in these systems. For example a remote control Enocean, Insteon, Wavenis, UWB. unit. -Distributed control systems: Controller elements are not in Introduction central location in these systems, they are distributed In today’s life because of huge amount of standards available throughout the network and controlled by one or more in the market choosing the best one is the biggest challenge. -

Appendix 8 Universal Powerline Bus (UPB)
Appendix 8 Universal Powerline Bus (UPB) This appendix describes the features in HCA in support of the UPB technology and products available from Powerline Control Systems (PCS), Simply Automated Inc, and other manufacturers. These topics are covered • What is UPB? • UPB device setup and configuration • Powerline Interface Module (PIM) • Network import • Generic UPB devices • Device properties • HCA support for scenes and device command features • Program triggers for UPB events • Hints and tips What is UPB? UPB is a powerline carrier technology created by Powerline Control Systems (PCS). It allows commands to sent over the powerline wiring in your home. Signals generated by a UPB transmitter, for example a keypad, can be received by the computer. HCA can also “listen in on” the communication between UPB devices and act on that communication, or simply log the activity. To use HCA with UPB devices and keypads you need the UPB Powerline Interface Module (PIM). This interface lets HCA send and receive UPB messages using the powerline. HCA supports both the serial and USB version of the PIM. If you are familiar with X10 devices (like the SceneMaster product line also from PCS) and the features in HCA to support them, you will be able to use UPB devices without much change to your thinking. Support for keypads is a bit different and is covered later in this appendix. If you are unfamiliar with the features of HCA for creating an automation solution, we suggest you review the other sections in of the HCA User Guide. UPB device setup and configuration UPB devices are highly configurable but HCA does not provide configuration facilities. -

H. Raisoni College of Engineering & Management, Amravati, India 1 PG Student, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Padm, Dr. V.B. Kolte college of Engineering, Malkapur, India 2 PG Student, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Prof. Ram Meghe College of Engineering. & Management, Badnera, India3 Abstract— This article constitutes an overview of the research, application, and regulatory activities on power line communications. Transmission issues on the power line are investigated and modeling approaches illustrated. Contemporary communication techniques and reliability issues are treated. Power lines constitute a rather hostile medium for data transmission. Varying impedance, considerable noise, and high attenuation are the main issues. The power line communication (PLC) is a new technology open to improvements in some key aspects. Some companies in the world provide broad band PLC devices and an increasing number of utility companies have already gone through field trials and commercial deployment of PLC services. Power-line communications over the low-voltage networks is gaining the attention of researchers in both broadband and narrowband application areas. The transmission characteristics of the power- line carrier are very significant in signal propagation. The power line modem uses the power line cable as communication medium. It is convenient as it eliminates the need to lay additional cables. The modem at the transmission end modulates the signal from data terminal through RS-232 interface onto the carrier signal in the power line. -
