Conclusion and Future Work

The project has proposed the idea of smart homes that can support a lot of home automation systems. A smart home contains a connection between wireless communication, sensors, monitoring and tracking. Smart homes are a huge system that includes multiple technologies and applications that can be used to provide security and control of the home easily.

This project discussed the designed modules like sensors' circuits, monitoring and tracking of the home through IP camera, mobile notifications and home navigator.

In this project, an efficient approach for smart homes was proposed and implemented. C# programming language and ATMEL AVR microcontroller have been used to connect the sensors circuit to the home and to control the IP camera.

A series of experiments have been carried out on the proposed smart home. These experiments show how to detect the fire, water leaking, smoke. Also how to detect any intruder to the home, detect and control the weather of the any room and how to secure the home through an access code. In addition this project illustrate the way to monitoring and tracking the home through an IP camera, and the way to send notifications to the homeowner about the actions in the home. Also this project showed the idea of making a navigator in the home to measuring the temperature in all rooms and detect any fire happens and to detect any motion in the home by using ultrasonic sensors.
Central control for the entire home has been designed using three microcontroller system designs. These designs were for access control to the home, temperature validation, and control board system to connect all the security and control circuits together.

Future work

There are a variety of enhancements that could be made to this system to achieve

greater accuracy in sensing and detection.

1. a)  There are a lot of other sensors that can be used to increase the security and control of the home like pressure sensor that can be put outside the home to detect that someone will enter the home.
   
2. b)  Changing the way of the automated notifications by using the GSM module to make this system more professional.
   
3. c)  A smart garage that can measure the length of the car and choose which block to put the car into it and it will navigate the car through the garage to make the parking easy for the homeowner in his garage.
