Raspberry-pi-Based-Smart-Home

Our goals were to automate home using internet based application to get fast response, to access the home from all over the world and to give surveillance to the home. We also created different modes for house and used some basic sensors to make it smart. This system can be modified to control anything in your home as per user demands.

Statement of Problem:

The statement of our problem is to design such a system which can be use in any kind of automation and also can use in security surveillance. Plus the system should be capable of any further new addition or changeings to it and new upgrades/. Designing a multipurpose system which can be use in automation bus also for security surveillance and can interact with different sensors.

Purpose of the project:

The purpose of this project is to implement a low cost, reliable and scalable home automation system that can be used to remotely switch on or off any household appliance, Raspberry pi based Smart Home should be able to control the home appliances wirelessly with effectively and efficiently.

Controlling Home Appliances via web and application:

To develop an application that includes the features of controlling all home appliances and to control the security system of home.

Real Time Video Streaming from IP camera:

To receive the quality video from the camera to the android application.

Secure Connection Channels between Application and Raspberry pi :

Use of secure protocols over Wi-Fi so that other devices cannot control the appliances. Options for secure connection is SSL over TCP, SSH

Controlled by any device capable of Wi-Fi (Android, iOS, PC) :

To make the home appliances flexible in control, any device capable of Wi-Fi connectivity will able to control the home appliances from remote location.

Extensible platform for future enhancement:

The application is to be highly extensible, with possibility of adding features in the future as needed.
