Abstract:
As compare to the other healthy people Elderly and disabled people are more likely
to face the difficulties performing their everyday. Elderly and disabled people can be
supported by using Smart homes, providing them secure, safe, and controlled
environments. Statistics shows that there is 4.4% of population belongs to elderly
people. And then there is 18.93% of population that belongs to crippled, most ofthe
people among them requires assistance to accomplish their personal day to day needs.
The system allows the users to be able control the appliances with least physical
effort. Moreover the home applications and appliances requires high energy making
homes to be considered as critical area for impacting energy consumption, so smart
home power management system can save the power from wastage.
The system allow users to switch the appliances ON and OFF just by sending
message command by android app or SMS with the help of a cell phone.
Secondly the project uses an android application and messaging to regulate electrical
loads. The system also uses the Bluetooth input signal received from the android
device to control electric flow. Moreover the system can also be operated by sending
the voice/speech commands via its android app. As it would be difficult for elderly
and handicapped people to operate electrical switches manually each time.
The system solves the problem by an interface connecting a unit with home
appliances that triggers the loads based on the input received from the device.
The device may be any simple mobile phone for SMS or android based phone. The
application contains an effective user interface for providing this functionality.
This system can be used in various domestic applications controlling as well as in
industrial setups, by further enhancement
