HOME APPLIANCES CONTROL USING LIFI
ABSTRACT• In modern days, we must use various high-tech machineries
and equipments to get our jobs done and make the life easier. the Home Automation systems has seen a rapid changes due to introduction of various wireless technologies The explosion in the wireless technology has seen the emergence of many standards. This paper mainly focuses on the controlling of home appliances remotely and providing security when the user is from the place. These machineries should be controlled by the homeowner from in a location as the homeowner might be away from home at workplace in a different place.
INTRODUCTION• With the development of technology and the continuous improvement of
people's living standard, people are in pursuit of automated, intelligent and convenient home control systems.
• At present, the PC is used as the remote control terminal for most home control systems; however, there are some problems in the PC monitor terminal, such as its great bulk, inconvenience to carry, high cost, limited monitoring range and so on. Therefore, it’s a good choice to design a terminal based on phone. With the popularity of smart phones, particularly, the phone based on Android system is rapidly developed.
• At its I/O developer conference, Google showed a sneak preview of its Android Home project, which will extend the Android platform into household objects. It means that the remote control based on Android phone will become a mainstream way. After logging into the control interface, users can easily control the lights, TVs and air conditionings anytime, anywhere, which brings great convenience to people and improves the quality of life.

Power Supply
• The power supply section is the important one. It should deliver constant output regulated power supply for successful working of the project. A 0-12V/1 mA transformer is used for this purpose. The primary of this transformer is connected in to main supply through on/off switch& fuse for protecting from overload and short circuit protection. The secondary is connected to the diodes to convert 12V AC to 12V DC voltage. And filtered by the capacitors, which is further regulated to +5v, by using IC 7805.
LIFI
Introduction
• LiFi is a wireless optical networking technology that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for data transmission.
• LiFi is designed to use LED light bulbs similar to those currently in use in many energy-conscious homes and offices.
• However, LiFi bulbs are outfitted with a chip that modulates the light imperceptibly for optical data transmission.
• LiFi data is transmitted by the LED bulbs and received by photoreceptors.
History• Professor Harald Haas, from the University of
Edinburgh in the UK, is widely recognised as the original founder of Li-Fi.
• He coined the term Li-Fi and is Chair of Mobile Communications at the University of Edinburgh and co-founder of pureLiFi.
• Haas promoted this technology in his 2011 TED Global talk and helped start a company to market it.
• In October 2011, companies and industry groups formed the Li-Fi Consortium, to promote high-speed optical wireless systems.
• The first Li-Fi smartphone prototype was presented at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from January 7–10 in 2014.

Working of LI-FI• The LEDs can be switched on and off very quickly which gives nice
opportunity for data transfer in the form of Binary code.
• Switching ON an LED is logical ‘1’,switching of an LED is logical ‘0’.
• Hence it is possible to encode the data into the LED’s by using a controller ,we just have to vary at which LED’s flicker depending on the data we want to encode to give different strings of 0’s and 1’s.
• UK researches say that using a micro-LED light bulb they have achieved a data transmission speed of 10Gbps using LI-FI.
Main Components Of Communication System
• A high brightness white LED, Which act as a communication source.
• A silicon photodiode which shows good response to visible wavelength region serving as the receiving element.
Receiving elements
Transmitting elements

Differences Between Technologies
PROCESS
• LED is connected to the transmitter and light sensor to the receiver. LED, photo detector registers a binary ‘1’ for ON else its ‘0’ for OFF. The LED’S can be switched ON and OFF very quickly which gives nice opportunities for transmitting data. LED is light illuminating Device and its intensity can modulate in a way that indictable to the human eye. The basic idea by ganging together many small light source rather than one light source we still have capability to do lightning. We are dividing active area into many thousands of much smaller elements and these individual elements that we called micro LED’s which is very small on micro scale and when we shrunk the individual potential illumination device then effect come into the play.
• The effect offers us to switch ON and OFF the device much more quickly. This is the basic approach that we can divide up large area device into many thousand much smaller devices and it increases the bandwidth for ON and OFF the switching capability, speed and some other beneficial characteristics come into play. When the device come into play then it will give the possibility to send independent communication signal from each individual element in the array. We have more than thousand potentially independent lightning communication channel to start the operation. This is the basic idea of very small devices which is capable of transmitting very high amount of data with speed around 10mbps rather than a single LED or large LED. This is very helpful in transmitting data to many vehicles at a single point of time. The receiver in vehicles will intercept these incoming data with the help of Photodiode and display on The LCD which will provide for assistance to the driver.
TRANSMITTER
• LIGHT EMITTING DIODE • MICROCONTROLLER
LIGHT EMITTING DIODE • LED’S are semiconductor electronic device. Tiny LED is being
developed that could do simultaneously many task such as deliver data, display information and provide lightning. It is a next stage to research visible light to transmit essentially means that we take new generation of energy saving light bulbs which is made of LED and we use same illumination end for data transmission and not only data transmission but very high data transmission. The tiny LED is made from gallium nitrate, a manmade semiconductor material. It’s very good characteristics that its intensity can be modulated at a very high speed that means switched ON and OFF at a very high speed which is the basic fundamental property used in LIFI.
MICROCONTROLLER
• It is a common and an important component in both transmitter and receiver. It has 256 x 8 bits internal RAM, it has an In system reprogrammable flash memory of 8000 bytes. The microcontroller is programmed with the data of highway routes. In transmitter it interfaces with LED and in receiver it interfaces with photodiode and LCD.
RECEIVER
• PHOTO DETECTOR
RECEIVER
• Receiver receives signal through photo detector and signal processing is done in the receiver section. Receiver ignores constant light because receiver is interested only in certain changes or modulated intensity at very high speed. The certain changes in amplitude in light bulb occur at the same time of illumination of light bulb and transmission of data. Other components of the receiver are buzzer, LCD.
PHOTO DETECTOR • The Photo Detector is a sensor of light and electromechanical
energy. It works in forward bias by absorbing light. In this paper the photo detector absorbs light from the light emitting diode. The photo detector picks up the signal which is converted back into a data stream and sent to the client. The client can communicate through its own LED output or over the existing network.
WORKING • Two basic components of any project are its transmitter
and receiver. The transmitter we have used here is a smart pole. It has many components such as LED which is a high glow white light emitting diode, crystal oscillator which is working at 11.085 MHz to provide constant frequency so as to maintain constant clock pulse, voltage regulator, which is giving a constant voltage of 5V by stepping down the supply voltage from transmitter and receiver. The microcontroller present is a common component in both transmitter and receiver.
• The microcontroller has the data of highway routes fed in. It is data programmed in it.It also contributes in interfacing. The receiver in the project is a moving vehicle or any ordinary car which has photo detector, buzzer. The photo detector absorbs the incoming light from the LED’s and passes onto the microcontroller which intercepts the light into data to visible on the LCD in the vehicle. The buzzer will beep as soon as the data is received by the photo detector. To summarize, the project is basically a transmission and reception of information and data in form of light energy which is used for navigation.
