Abstract:
The main focus of this paper is to analyze and design a Proof-Of-Concept (POC) Smart Power Switch (SPS) that will give users the ability to conveniently turn their home into a Smart Home. This Smart Power Switch allows the user to control any of the home appliances from anywhere. A standard switch/power outlet in a home can be replaced with a SPS that can be controlled remotely with any smartphone or Personal Computer (PC). Smart Homes can also reduce energy usage by up to 30% for typical residential users. Our research can be considered as an application of Internet of Things (IoT) for Smart Homes. A common definition of Smart Home is an “electronic networking technology to integrate devices, appliances and security so that the entire home can be monitored and controlled centrally as a single machine.
