Improvements in home automation strategies for designing apparatus for efficient smart home

Proposals are made to design and build intelligent home meeting the modern requirements satisfying most living standards of consumers. Home security activities supported by real time audio visual system which permits only the entry of authorised visitors into the flat are incorporated in the system. Easy handling of selected home appliances in the flat by switching ON or OFF from any room is provided in the system. Moreover, remote control of these selected appliances are performed through telephone dialling or with Internet are accommodated in the system. A Home Assistant system software installed in the PC brings the daily activities to the monitor screen as obtained from the activities programmed in tables of data bases. The electrical energy requirements of the flats are partially supported by a unit extracting solar energy and wind energy. Saving of electrical energy by this unit is maximised by automatically changing the angles of the solar panel and wind mill fixed on the terrace. Furthermore, intruder detection unit included in the system dials automatically a pre-programmed sequence of digits to give message to a remote location while triggering a local alarm.
