WEEK 14

WEEK 14 : CHAPTER 1 (INTRODUCTION)

OBJECTIVES :
1) To describe all the main purpose in this project.
2) To further the understanding of the reader.
3) To identify the benefit of this project for the user

METHODOLOGY :
1) Do some research that can be obtained at the website or any blog.
2) List the main point which is consists of objectives of the project, problem statements, expectation outcome, scope and limitation.

RESULTS :
1) Objective of Project :

• To monitor and control home appliances using Arduino.
• To design two way communication system between the house-hold appliances and user’s controlling device.
•  To let the users get information using blynk application.

2) Problem statement :

People nowadays, facing the problem of electricity consumption. For example, when they forgot to switch off any home devices, they will waste the electricity at their home. For other cases, elderly or physically handicapped person, they have a difficulty to control ON or OFF switches in their home since it is difficult for them to control it. Last but not least, people will waste their time to check the status of the light outside their home and they need to control the ON or OFF switches even when they are on their bed.

3) Expectation outcome :

Figure 18 : Expectation outcome

4) Scope and limitation : 
Scope :

The scope of this project is to control and monitor smart home system by utilizing Arduino NodeMCU connected to the device and relay to give output of this home automation system. Besides, the scope of this project is to develop home automation system using blynk application. It can used to replace all the switches for the home appliances in the house.

Limitation :

      1) Learning difficulty

There will always have some people that are hard to catch fast when they are learning something new. This will may take a lot of time for them to understand the procedure when using that system.

2) Reliability

Smart home system will be very dependent to the internet. This can be a problem because if connection of the internet is disconnected, the users cannot monitor the appliances in the house. Other than that, it can be possibly occur if there have an interruption between the wireless signal and other home appliances so, the system will automatically become slowly.

ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION:

It can be summarize as introducing to the project with a few specifications in terms of project background, problem statements, objectives, expectation outcome, scope and limitation. The project background is about the process of the system that available in this project.

CONCLUSION:

In conclusion, this chapter can describe all the main purpose in this project. On top of that, it can further the understanding of the reader and identify the benefit of this project for the user.
