Project SummaryThe Smart Home Project will include a graphical user interface (GUI) capable of monitoring and controlling various electrical devices found in a common residential dwelling. By providing the application’s user with control of these devices, power consumption can be tracked and measured for improved home operating efficiency. This could potentially limit the demand of power consumption by the end user. Some other measures such as convenient security monitoring would allow users increased levels of safety. The Smart Home monitoring system will also provide a level of customization as per user needs and preferences. ObjectivesThe objectives of this project are to create the following:
Project InformationPotential IssuesIssues that may arise during this project are as follows;
SolutionsSolutions to these issues are;
Project ScopeThe ultimate goal of this project is to make a system that is user friendly, efficient, modular and easily installed. By using PLC we make the system universal and cost efficient. Older homes can use these systems and not have to worry about costly renovations. The PLC will use the existing home wiring to communicate with the other devices synced to the smart home hub. Also by using PLC we use a closed system and thus the threat of cyber intrusion is nullified. Creating a modular system is also beneficial for us and the potential consumer. For a consumer with a modular system, additions can be made to the existing system at cheaper costs and without the existing system becoming obsolete. From the design stand point this allows us to manage the project better, it leaves potential for growth of the project without being overwhelmed with having too many items to work on. A block diagram of what we hope to achieve is seen below in figure 1.

These are the current assigned tasks for the project so far. More tasks will be delegated as the project progresses and cross over will occur with tasks. Tasks such as the PLC and data transfer will require larger amounts of time dedicated to them.
