Home automation

• The true value of home networking is when the people are away from their home, we are making some new ways for simple human computer infrastructure to the remote home applications.

introduction

• Did I close the door??????????

• This is the problem every one faces

• Users suggestion to this problem

reminders (a device that remains u)

alarms (that’s shouts when u are going )

Against what norman has written in his book

• According to norman he has stated that

„its a stupid idea to implement such a device that controles all the devices in the house“

• Lets think „when we enter C&A we see the door opens automaticaly“ and there are bluetooth device like headphone which has a specific profile in it

• It s not too hard to integrate a bluetooth device to control the opening of the door

i-control

• Its a technolegy in which we use the simple existing systems to control the

devices far away form us

• Main advantages

there is no money spend on developing the technolegy ,but use the existing one.....

Simple example

Garrage door

Controling device Bluetooth

controle

Home pcsensor

mobile

More technical details

• The first part is the device discovery protocol, which is an extension of universal plug and play protocol to cover the hetrogenious networks.

• We use e-mails to take advantage of the security infrastructure and it present a familiar interface with the user, the home based server which periodically dial to the ISP and check the mails. If it is a command to the home automation network, then they will try to do the work that is to be done.

Design details

• Even just sms or e-mail form the phone is enough to inplement this technolegy

• In order to make a difrence we developed this i control interface ,

• This is just a interface between email client and user

• We removed the mode operation

• It is very deficult to understand for the

end users
