Abstract

The smart home system has been developed since 1980s. Its first
application was built in 1984,
in Turkey.
In these first steps, the focused group was only people without disabilities.
Initially, manufacturers tried to create all-in-one systems, yet the final
products were all gadget-like and minimalistic. (Energy control units, security
systems, light controllers, etc.) Smart homes have various application areas.
Controlling central air conditioning in modern high-rise buildings, malls with
parameters such as temperature and humidity is an example of real-time
programming of these devices. The main idea here is to control the capacity of
air conditioning equipment in order to save energy, thus saving money. The goal
of our article is to make life easier with the help of computer science. With
our knowhow and extra research of available information, by using the software
portions and the hardware components, we aim to create a sensor-based smart
home system. Basically, the system is getting the data from the sensors placed
in different locations in home and transfer it to terminal via Wi-Fi. In the
flowchart, the most crucial part is to connect the hardware problem-free. Next
thing is to upload the code for these modules to an EEPROM computer to
establish connection between devices and to display the information in the
terminal screen. The designed system looks like an autonomous computer which
can control the air conditioning with the help of various sensors with
precision.
