Solar Powered Smart Home Design with IoT

This paper presents the design of solar powered smart home with wireless sensor network which deals with smart energy management, smart health care, smart ventilation, along with smart people management. The sensor network is spread at entrance Gate, Corridor, living room and kitchen. The two internet of things(IoT) design prototypes are used for wireless communication first one is developed by using Bluetooth for short range offline communication and another by using Global system for mobile communication(GSM) for long range offline communication. ZigBee and Wi-Fi is used for online control and monitoring. The smart home derives power from the solar panel through Maximum powerpoint tracking(MPPT) controller which provides maximum efficiency. Internal infrastructure is able to take action against certain unpredictable situation when owner may not present in the home. The owner is also notified about the problem that has been occurs. A hardware model is developed with proper sensor control scheme. This model is developed to provide online and offline control and monitoring of smart home. All power requirement of smart home is meet by self-generated solar power. The complete system is designed in the laboratory.
