Design and Implementation of Smart House using LabVIEW

Abstract

Abstract

Everyone wants to enjoy comfort and ensure security at his or her homes. Most of the security and automation systems in the market are not flexible and full-fledged. There are two important issues addressed by the automation system. The first issue that is to be overcome is the compatibility with various devices and forthcoming technologies. This issue is overcome by auto updating of the central controlling tool. The second issue is that every automation system requires different software for different functions. Smart home management system overcomes this problem by integrating all the functions into single software. Energy is efficiently managed by separate controls, which are equipped by LabVIEW. To make a complete system, a hybrid of security and automation systems is designed. Controlling system is to be designed with more caution and user friendliness. The LabVIEW controlled system will control four main systems of the house, i.e., digital key (password protected), burglar alarm system, temperature sensor and fire alarm system. The four functions of LabVIEW controlled system are controlled using LabVIEW. The user even gets an option to configure his settings via LabVIEW.
