Rudas: Energy and sensor devices management system in home automation

Abstract

This paper presents Rudas, a low cost and energy efficient system that fully operational for IP-based network. The system comprised of few embedded sensors and networking devices in the house that connected to the Internet architecture. It can be used in many applications, leading to the emerging concept of the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT describes the future where everyday things (or objects) will be connected to the internet and be able to communicate themselves to other devices. In order to well maintain those sensor devices, it is often necessary to evolve devices to function correctly by allowing device management (DM) entities to remotely monitor and control devices without consuming significant resources. In particular, it includes a single board computer, microcontrollers, responsive web technology, database system, environmentally sensitive devices, tornado server software, cameras and could computing. The system is also implanted a fuzzy logic artificial intelligence to adjust the intensity of light and air condition in a room. Information will be recorded and calculated so that home owners will be more efficient in managing and monitoring all home devices. A result from this study is a well-worked home management and other aspects including security, energy saving and monitoring.
