| Summary: | Home automation refers to applications of technology to control function in the house
and communications within the inside and outside world. One of the major benefits of
smart homes to consumers is its ability to incorporate energy management features. One
smart home system manufacturer claims to be able to reduce the electricity bill by 30%
depending on the home consumption. Smart homes can even go further in energy
management by keeping track of the energy usage of each and every appliances in the
house. Such features allow the user to know what is using too much electricity and
adjust things accordingly. It is obvious that if cost is to be minimized, usage of the
electricity has to be monitored more accurately and carefully. An automated electrical
power meter can be used to achieve this objective. In one version of the automated
electrical power meters the power consumption of an appliance can be read remotely by
using the existing electrical wiring. In this mode data transmission plays an important
role. In this work the transmission of data between the transmitter and the receiver of a house using X-10 protocol is studied and applied. X-10 protocol is a scheme of
transmitting signal through existing electrical household cable to control appliances.
Therefore, the main objective of this research is to design and assemble the hardware of
a transmitter and a receiver for data transmission using power line and to develop the
software for a micro-controller. |
