1. INTRODUCTION
The IOT is enabled by the latest developments in RFID, smart
sensors, communication technologies and Internet protocols. The
basic premise is to have smart sensors collaborate directly
without human involvement to deliver a new class of applications.
The current revolution in Internet, mobile and machine-to-
machine (M2M) technologies can be seen as the first phase of the
IOT. In the coming years, the IOT is expected to bridge diverse
technologies to enable new applications by connecting physical
objects together in support of intelligent decision making.
The Internet of Things is a paradigm where everyday objects
can be equipped with identifying, sensing, networking and
processing capabilities that will allow them to communicate with
one another and with other devices and services over the Internet
to accomplish some objective. Internet, the networks of networks
avails us the world at one click. This paper is a survey on Internet
of Things which is believed to be the next evolution of Internet.
The Internet of Things (IOT) bridges the cyber and the physical
worlds. Ultimately, IOT devices will be ubiquitous, context-aware
and will enable ambient intelligence.
The IoT communication technologies connect heterogeneous
objects together to deliver specific smart services. Typically, the
IoT nodes should operate using low power in the presence of lossy
and noisy communication links. Examples of communication
protocols used for the IOT are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15.4, Z-
wave, and LTE-Advanced. Some specific communication
technologies are also in use like RFID, Near Field Communication
(NFC) and ultra-wide bandwidth(UWB).
Another communication technology is Wi-Fi that uses radio
waves to exchange data amongst things within 100 m range. Wi-Fi
allows smart devices to communicate and exchange information
without using a router in some ad hoc configurations. Bluetooth
presents a communication technology that is used to exchange
data between devices over short distances using short-wavelength
radio to minimize power consumption.
Processing units (e.g., microcontrollers, microprocessors,
SOCs, FPGAs) and software applications represent the ―brain‖
and the computational ability of the IoT. Various hardware
platforms were developed to run IoT applications such as
Arduino, UDOO, Friendly ARM, Intel Galileo, Raspberry PI,
Gadgeteer, Beagle Bone, Cubieboard, Z1, WI Sense, Mulle, and T-
Mote Sky. There are several Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS)
that are good candidates for the development of RTOS-based IoT
applications. For instance, the Contiki RTOS has been used widely
in IoT scenarios. Contiki has a simulator called Cooja which allows
researcher and developers to simulate and emulate IoT and
wireless sensor network (WSN) applications.
Overall, IoT services can be categorized under four classes
namely Identity-related Services, Information Aggregation
Services, Collaborative-Aware Services and Ubiquitous Services.
Identity-related services are the most basic and important
services that are used in other types of services. Every application
that needs to bring real world objects to the virtual world has to
identify those objects.
Information Aggregation Services collect and summarize raw
sensory measurements that need to be processed and reported to
the IoT application. Collaborative-Aware Services act on top of
Information Aggregation Services and use the obtained data to
make decision and react accordingly. Ubiquitous Services,
however, aim to provide Collaborative-Aware Services anytime
they are needed to anyone who needs them anywhere.

2. LITERATURE SURVEY
In today’s world, automation plays a very important role and in
this project, an automated way of controlling home appliances
through human interaction as well as through self-control of the
system itself is provided. The manual mode helps user to control
home appliances automatically using PC or any Wi-Fi enabled
Mobile phone in the same local area network. In automated
mode, the system controls the appliances itself depending on
some sensor reading, thus making it fully automated. Another
feature of the automated mode is the security mode. Through this
mode user will be alerted if any intruder enter the main door
when the system is active. [1]
It is a low cost and flexible home control and
environmental monitoring system. It employs an embedded
micro – web server in Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller, with
IP connectivity for accessing and controlling devices and
appliances remotely. These devices can be controlled through a
web application or via Bluetooth Android based Smart phone
app. The proposed system does not require a dedicated server PC
with respect to similar systems and offers a novel communication
protocol to monitor and control the home environment with
more than just the switching functionality. To demonstrate the
feasibility and effectiveness of this system, devices such as light

switches, power plug, temperature sensor, gas sensor and motion
sensors have been integrated with the proposed home control
system. [2]
The design of the low cost voice recognition based
home automation system for the physically challenged people
suffering from quadriplegia or paraplegia (who cannot move
their limbs but can speak and listen) to control the various home
appliances and can actuate the bed elevation just by the voice
commands according to their need and comfort. The proposed
system consists of a voice recognition module, Arduino uno
microcontroller, relay circuit to and an adjustable bed. The voice
recognition module needs to be trained first before it can be used
to recognize commands. Upon successful recognition of voice
command the Arduino drives the corresponding load with the
help of the relay circuit. The adjustable bed elevation can be set
to the three different modes as per the user comfort and need.
The accuracy of voice recognition module is also measured in
different conditions. The experimental results validate the
functions of the proposed system. The results show the system
can provide great assistant to the physically challenged people
without any third person’s assistances. [3]
One of the most promising technologies to enhance the
quality of life of quadriplegia patients is smart home
environments. Security has a paramount importance for all
health information systems, but it is generally overlooked until a
major security breach occurs. Especially in an application
specifically targeting people with disabilities, ignoring security
might have dire consequences therefore they think that proactive
measures should be taken by system designers. In this paper,
they present SHA, a secure voice activated smart home for
quadriplegia patients. The principal contribution of our system
lies behind the security mechanisms incorporated in the
proposed smart home architecture which has an integrated
framework including ambient assistance and remote health
monitoring. [4]
The FPGA of an ASR system is implemented in a car
environment. The voice feature vectorsare extracted by using
Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients and compared by using
FastDTW algorithms. The recognition rate of the proposed
system is 81.5%. Both MFCC and FastDTWalgorithms are
implemented by Verilog HDL. The target device is chosen as
Altera DE2-115. [5]
Smart homes are in huge demand and have gained
significant consumer awareness. Smart homes and home
automation systems are generally used with reference to a wide
range of solutions that includes controlling, monitoring and
automating various functions inside a home. In this paper, design
of home automation systems using various technologies is
proposed and their performances are evaluated. The proposed
work is an outcome of a funded project and the systems
proposed, designed and reported in this paper can be easily
adapted for various applications such as control of machines in
machining industries, automotive industry, navigating mobile
wireless nodes and automating offices. [6]
The home automation improves the lifestyle of the
control of home devices. Technology advancements have made
the implementation of embedded systems within home
appliances. The abilities and benefits are increased by the home
automation. The value of our lives can be improved by
automating various instruments or electrical appliances. There is
always a stipulation for home automation through mobile
phones. Our main objectives are to help old aged people and
handicapped and to control the home appliances from remote
places. Our major focus is on controlling the home appliances
from both indoor and outdoor. The mobile application is created
and interfaced with the device to control home appliances
through Bluetooth and GSM for indoor and outdoor controlling
respectively. [7]
Remote home management is one of the developing
areas in current technology. This paper describes how to manage
and control home appliances using mobile phone, people can use
this system to do things in their home from a far place before
they reach home. For instance, user may start his/her room
cooler or heater so that before they reach home the condition in
the room will be conducive, also appliances like washing machine
and cooker can be started and if the time taken for this
appliances to perform a task is known that can also be set, so that
if the time elapsed the appliance will automatically switch off
itself. To control an appliance the user sends a command in form
of SMS from his/her mobile phone to a computer which is
connected to the appliance, once the message is received the
computer will send the command to a microcontroller for
controlling the appliance appropriately. [8]
The main objective of this paper is to develop a home
automation system using an Arduino board with Bluetooth being
remotely controlled by any Android OS smart phone. As
technology is advancing so houses are also getting smarter.
Modern houses are gradually shifting from conventional switches
to centralized control system, involving remote controlled
switches. Presently, conventional wall switches located in
different parts of the house makes it difficult for the user to go
near them to operate. Even more it becomes more difficult for the
elderly or physically handicapped people to do so. Remote
controlled home automation system provides a most modern
solution with smart phones. In order to achieve this, a Bluetooth
module is interfaced to the Arduino board (ATMEGA 328) at the
receiver end while on the transmitter end, a GUI application on
the cell phone sends ON/OFF commands to the receiver where
loads are connected. [9]
The research work investigates the potential of ‘Full
Home Control’, which is the aim of the Home Automation Systems
in near future. The analysis and implementation of the home
automation technology using Global System for Mobile
Communication (GSM) modem to control home appliances such
as light, conditional system, and security system via Short
Message Service (SMS) text messages is presented in this paper.
The proposed research work is focused on functionality of the
GSM protocol, which allows the user to control the target system
away from residential using the frequency bandwidths. [10]
The concept of serial communication and AT-commands
has been applied towards development of the smart GSM-based
home automation system. Homeowners will be able to receive
feedback status of any home appliances under control whether
switched on or off remotely from their mobile phones.
PIC16F887microcontroller with the integration of GSM provides
the smart automated house system with the desired baud rate of
9600 bps. The proposed prototype of GSM based home
automation system was implemented and tested with maximum
of four loads and shows the accuracy of ≥98%. [11]

Automation is a trending topic in the 21st century
making it play an important role in our daily lives. The main
attraction of any automated system is reducing human labor,
effort, time and errors due to human negligence. With the
development of modern technology, smart phones have become a
necessity for every person on this planet. Applications are being
developed on Android systems that are useful to us in various
ways. Another upcoming technology is natural language
processing which enables us to command and control things with
our voice. Combining all of these, our paper presents a micro
controller based voice controlled home automation system using
smartphones. Such a system will enable users to have control
over every appliance in his/her home with their voice. All that
the user needs is an Android smartphone, which is present in
almost everybody’s hand nowadays, and a control circuit. The
control circuit consists of an Arduino Uno microcontroller, which
processes the user commands and controls the switching of
devices. The connection between the microcontroller and the
smartphone is established via Bluetooth, a widespread wireless
technology used for sharing data. [12]
Nowadays, the remote Home Automation turns out to
be more and more significant and appealing. It improves the
value of our lives by automating various electrical appliances or
instruments. This paper describes GSM (Global System
Messaging) based secured device control system using App
Inventor for Android mobile phones. App Inventor is a latest
visual programming platform for developing mobile applications
for Android-based smart phones. The Android Mobile Phone
Platform becomes more and more popular among software
developers, because of its powerful capabilities and open
architecture. It is a fantastic platform for the real world interface
control, as it offers an ample of resources and already
incorporates a lot of sensors. No need to write programming
codes to develop apps in the App Inventor, instead it provides
visual design interface as the way the apps looks and use blocks
of interlocking components to control the app’s behavior. The
App Inventor aims to make programming enjoyable and
accessible to novices. [13]
Each and every part of our life is somehow linked with
the embedded products. Embedded systems are the product of
hardware and software co-design. Embedded system is becoming
an integral part of Engineering design process for efficient
analysis and effective operation. From data analysis to hardware
work, everywhere embedded products are the main interest
because of its reliability and time bound perfection. There is not
much time with anyone now a day to give enough in all aspects,
so demand of embedded products which serve as we want is high
on demand. The present paper describes the design of an
embedded system for the control of Temperature &Light
intensity with continuous monitoring in a single system using
sensors, microcontroller and LCD. It describes the controlling
action incorporated in the hardware to control any device
connected when specific conditions are met. Further set up is
made such that data can be stored for future offline analysis.[15]
3. BENEFITS OF INTERNET OF THINGS
The potentialities offered by the IoT make it possible to
develop numerous applications based on it, of which only a few
applications are currently deployed. In future, there will be
intelligent applications for smarter homes and offices, smarter
transportation systems, smarter hospitals, smarter enterprises
and factories. In the following subsections, some of the important
example applications of IoT are briefly discussed.
The new Smart Parking sensor’s to be buried in parking
spaces to detect the arrival and departure of vehicles. The Smart
parking provides extensive parking management solutions which
helps motorists save time and fuel (LIBELIUM, 2013). A significant
contribution to congestion arises from motorists searching for
accessible parking spaces. Providing accurate information about
parking spaces helps traffic flow better, and this will also allow the
deployment of application to book parking spaces directly from
the vehicle. This will help to reduce CO2 emissions and to
minimize traffic jams.
Implementing the Internet of Things in Retail chain monitoring
has many advantages: RFID and NFC can be used to monitor
almost every link of supply chain, ranging from commodity
details, raw material purchasing ,production, transportation, and
storage, sale of product and after sales services. With the help of
IoT, we will track the inventory in the warehouse so that stock can
be refilled at the appropriate time for continuous sale and this will
reduce the waiting time of customer which result in customer
satisfaction, which further results in increased sales.
4. DISADVANTAGES OF INTERNET OF THINGS
Privacy: Internet of Things (IOT) is going to add a lot to our lives,
it’s probably going to take our privacy in payment, whether you
want it to or not. Concept of being offline, of being unavailable, or
simply being alone, will recede. We are standing on the brink of a
post-privacy society. After the implementation of IOT, We may be
living well in the last era of privacy.
Complexity: Any failure or bugs in the software or hardware will
have serious consequences. Power failure can cause a lot of
inconvenience. Development needs to be easy for all developers,
not just to experts.
Change in Human Behavior: As a society we’re addicted to tech in
a way that no generation ever has been before. When we live in a
world in which there are countless sensors and smart objects
around us, all the time; when the clothes we wear, even things
inside our bodies, are smart and connected then change in
behavior is obvious. Human will be like robot but with blood.
Environmental Impact: A concern regarding IOT technologies
pertains to the environmental impacts of the manufacturer, use,
and eventual disposal of all these semiconductor-rich devices.
Electronic components are often simply incinerated or dumped in
regular landfills, thereby polluting soil, groundwater, surface
water, and air. Air will be cover with large dense network.
5. EXISTING SYSTEM
The web based home automation system in which user can
interact with the system through a web-based user interface over
the Internet. Home appliances like lights, door locks, air
conditioners and gates are remotely controlled through a
user-friendly web page. Functions of web based system.

Fig 2: Existing System 1 Design
Lights and doors are displayed through a web page that can be
controlled through web browser and system monitoring of the
house in real-time. If a threat is detected, with the help of
appropriate wired and wireless motion sensors alarm system will
be starts. Alarm system will alerts the user and security personnel
through Short Message Service (SMS) messages which is highly
extensible and customizable.
The system connected to home appliances. This system
is developed as a custom-designed processor in Field
Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The system is implemented on
a Nios development board cyclone II edition components and
interfaces. The main processor interacts with external
components, viz. sensors, appliances and devices by using C
programming language. User interface is developed by using
socket programming, hypertext mark-up language (HTML),
JavaScript and Personal Home Page (PHP). The user is able to
communicate directly with the board through a web browser.
Home automation is working on cloud principle. With the help
of different sensors, monitoring is done. A computer is kept
permanently active at home. That computer is there to control the
operations with home appliances. Home PC is kept to continuous
monitor sensor output. If there is any problem found with the
output given by sensors, Home pc is going to report that problem
to Cloud Server.
Home PC is responsible for conveying messages towards cloud
server. Cloud server will store the information into the database
and will take actions according to output. Working of cloud server
is to mine the data from database, and convey the relevant
message to the HAS owner by a initiating a call/ SMS, and the
intelligence part in this system is to call and send SMS to the
Technician and report the detailed problem occurred in the
appliances.
This system as stated it is energy efficient but it takes lots of
energy in sensing the environment as well as to kept a Home PC
continuously ON, energy supply to PC is required. As this system
required cloud server, one Home PC the system is also more costly
than other HAS. This system can be more useful for that who are
more living outside and who need to access the appliances from
remote location. Functions of cloud based system.
System is using number of sensors to monitor different
parameters like light, temperature, humidity to get information
about current surrounding area. One computer at home is kept
continuously ON to observe the output given by sensors. This
computer will give the information to Cloud server side. For
storing the phone numbers and relative contact details of the User
and the technical persons, their work address, work time, and
services they offered there is one module for Registration which
helps to store data at server side.
In operational state Cloud server is going to mine the
Data gathered from no of sensors, and going to perform the
actions like Sending mail/SMS/call to HAS User. This system
basically works via a cloud server which is responsible for taking
actions on the basis of results provided by sensors situated in
home. This system doesn’t require any remote like machine for
e.g. Mobile Phone or remote controller to give actions to system,
instead of that it acts automatically according to the conditions
specified in it which is more useful to have a device free walk and
have actions performed by the controller by taking decision by
their own.
In SMS based Smart home concept has the main control which
implements GSM to provide remote access from PC/laptop. The
design consists existing electrical switches and with low voltage
activating method provides more safety control in the switches.
The switches status is synchronized in all the control system
whereby the real time existing switches status is indicated by
every user interface. The purpose of system is to control electrical
appliances. This design of the system contains the mechanical
switches with the modified low voltage activating method, in
order to provide safer control to the user. The connection in this
system is established by GSM module. This GSM module directly
receives / transmits commands from/to PC/Laptop.
The System is placed and deployed on the wall or any
empty area in user’s surrounding. The system is capable with
communicating with the user’s computer/laptop/smart phone
using the Bluetooth wireless connection. Deployed system comes
with GUI which is installed on the one of this device

6. DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM
 Existing system works only with specific proprietary
applications
 No voice control
 No Unified Access to electrical devices
 Works only on smart devices
 Need same Communication Network to ensure proper
communication
 Doesn't work with unified access devices viz., Google
Assistant, Amazon Echo DOT, etc..
CONCLUSION
In today's smart world everyone needs smart devices to enjoy
the benefits it provides. But the problem is what to do with the
existing non smart devices which don’t provide any of the features
of smart devices. The need for smart system will enable to use the
non-smart devices as smart device by controlling them over voice
commands.
