2.2 Review of Related Works
Harsh Mehta, Kunal Jadhav, Avinash Mishra of Rajiv Gandhi institute Of Technology, Maharashtra, India developed an loT Based Home Automation System Using Arduino whose main purpose is to control basic power to home appliances using an android application. The system also incorporates an ARDUINO TEMPERATURE SENSOR LM35 to enable monitoring and adjustment of room temperature. Additionally it uses alight detecting sensor for control of room lighting [4]. A problem with this system that it heavily relies on sensor technology which begs for sensors to be installed in the vicinity of the different appliances. This will greatly increase the cost of the system. This system also does not include any features intended at active energy management. In another paper titled IOT Based Home Automation Using Arduino, G.Mahalakshmi and
M.Vigneshwaran who are both Assistant Professors in Sri Krishna College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore. Proposed a system that would be based on an Arduino Uno microcontroller. It offers feature such as environmental monitoring using the temperature, humidity, and gas and smoke sensors. It also offers switching functionalities to control lighting, fans/air conditioners, and other home appliances connected to the relay system. Another feature of this system is the intrusion detection which it offers using the motion sensor and all these can be controlled from the Android Smartphone app or web application. It employs the DHT11 digital temperature and humidity sensor. It also employs the Passive
Infra-Red (PIR) sensor and the MQ6 semiconductor sensor for motion detection as well as smoke detection respectively. The issue with this system, as with the prior system, is that it significantly relies on sensor technology, necessitating the installation of sensors close to the various appliances. The system's relative cost is significantly increased as a result. Moreover, there are no features in this system that are aimed at active energy management.
Nausheen Belim, Harshada Bhambure, Priyanka Kumbhar , Simranjit Tuteja, in their paper titled DOMOTICS USING INTERNET OF THINGS, proposed a system that monitors the status of home appliances on a computer using ZigBee wireless technology. Appliances can be monitored and accessed remotely by user via SMS or EMAIL where GSM Modem comes into use [6]. This system requires networking hardware at each outlet which makes it comparatively expensive.

5 Students of Information Science. Engineering, NIE, Mysore, India named Vignesh Aravindan and Darshan James proposed a system titled Smart Homes using Internet of Things. According to them, the proposed system is intended to satisfy all the basic needs of the user at an affordable cost. The system has the ability to monitor and control Temperature and humidity, to do Motion detection, Fire and smoke detection, to switch Lights ON/OFF or to dim them, to switch Fans ON/OFF. To switch ON/OFF different appliances. Switch ON and OFF the staircase light by detecting human motion when he climbs the stairs. Detect the gas leakage informs the house owner and fire department [7]. This system incorporates no energy management function at all and is just a system of convenience or luxury. It also seeks to control every appliance individually which can easily make it bulky and too expensive fora home with multiple appliances In his paper titled UBIQUITOUS SMART HOME SYSTEM USING ANDROID APPLICATION, Shiu Kumar, as a student of the Department of Information Electronics Engineering, Mokpo National University proposed a system that controls electrical systems such as lighting, power plugs, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems security and surveillance system such as fire detection and intrusion detection with siren and email notifications. It also allows voice activation for switching functions [8]. This system is purely for convenience or luxury and has no energy management features at all. Also, it aims to operate each device separately, which may make it excessively heavy and expensive fora home with numerous equipment. In their paper titled Home Automation System Using Arduino, Sunen Soni, Mayank Thanvi,
Shivam Sharma and Sunil Yadav students of TCET, Mumbai, India proposed system is a Home automation system using internet as a medium to transfer user response for controlling devices. The system utilizes a Wireless Ethernet module that is connected to a router. The Ethernet module is also connected to the Arduino. The router after receiving the data sends the signal to the appropriate device using port forwarding. The Arduino is connected to a Gas sensor and an IR sensor. The System can be accessed from the web browser remotely from any mobile device connected to the Internet. The proposed Home automation System can control the following appliances- Lights On/Off, Air conditioner, Computer On/Off and monitor Gas Leakage at home and motion detection which can activate alarm or adjust temperature of the room accordingly [9]. This system doesn't provide any tools for controlling how much energy is used at home. Also, it manages each appliance outlet separately, which adds to its bulkiness fora home with many outlets.
Tanish Sehgal and Shubham More, students of Computer Engineering, Bharati Vidyapeeth Institute of Technology, Maharashtra, India, in their paper titled Home Automation using
IOT and Mobile App, proposed a smart home system for remotely controlling and monitoring of home electrical equipment. The system consists of an app which is developed using Android platform. It uses Arduino Ethernet based micro web server and The Arduino micro- controller acts as a main controller that hosts and performs the actions which are necessary to be carried out. The app will communicate with the micro web-server via the internet. Any

6 internet connection via WiFi or 3G/4G network can be used on the user device. The designed app for the smart home system provides the following functionalities to the user with functions such as device control and monitoring, Scheduling tasks, password change option and also supports voice activation for switching functions. The system uses sensors such as motion sensors, smoke and gas sensors, as well as temperature and humidity sensors [11]. The system's primary flaw is the absence of any energy management features. Also, it aims to operate each device separately, which may make it excessively heavy and expensive fora home with numerous equipment.
