</ol>
<h2>Proposed system design</h2>
<p>To meet the requirements of our home automation system, we proposed the following system design using Python and ada Fruit:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><b>System architecture:</b>Our home automation system follows a distributed architecture to ensure seamless communication and efficient data flow between different system components. The architecture consists of three main components: sensor nodes, a gateway node, and the user interface.</li>
<ul>
<li><strong>Sensor nodes: </strong> The system incorporates at least three sensor nodes strategically placed within the home to collect data on temperature, humidity, light intensity, and motion. Each sensor node is equipped with appropriate sensors and communicates with the gateway node to transmit collected data.</li>
<li><strong>Gateway nodes:</strong>The central gateway node serves as the brain of the system. It receives data from the sensor nodes, processes the data, and communicates with actuators and the user interface. The gateway node ensures efficient data exchange, performs data analysis, and issues instructions to actuators based on predefined rules and user preferences.</li>
<li><strong>User interface: </strong>The user interface, developed using the Qada Fruit library, provides homeowners with a visually appealing and intuitive dashboard to monitor and control various aspects of their home environment. It displays real-time data from the sensor nodes, provides control options for the actuators, and allows users to set preferences and schedules for automated tasks.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>IOT protocols and technologies:</b>To enable seamless communication between the sensor nodes, gateway, and user interface, the system utilizes MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) or CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol) as the communication protocols. MQTT ensures efficient data transmission with minimal bandwidth and power consumption, while CoAP provides a lightweight protocol suitable for resource-constrained devices.</li>
<li><b>Sensor nodes:</b>The system employs Python libraries and commercially available sensors to capture data from different areas of the home. For example:</li>
<ul>
<li><strong>temperature sensors:</strong>Utilizing digital temperature sensors (e.g., DS18B20) to measure room temperatures accurately.</li>
<li><strong>humidity sensors:</strong>Incorporating humidity sensors (e.g., DHT11 or DHT22) to monitor the humidity levels within the home.</li>
<li><strong>light sensors:</strong>Utilizing light-dependent resistors (LDRs) or digital light sensors (e.g., TSL2561) to detect ambient light levels.</li>
<li><strong>Motion sensors:</strong> Employing passive infrared (PIR) sensors to detect motion and occupancy within specific areas of the home.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Actuators:</b>The system integrates various actuators that enable automated control of home systems based on sensor data and user preferences. These may include:</li>
<ul>
<li><strong>smart bulbs:</strong>Connecting smart bulbs, such as Philips Hue or LIFX, to control lighting intensity, color, and scheduling.</li>
<li><strong>smart thermostats:</strong>Utilizing smart thermostats like Nest or Ecobee to regulate temperature settings based on occupancy, time of day, and user-defined preferences.</li>
<li><strong>Smart security:</strong>Incorporating smart security cameras, door/window sensors, and smart locks to enhance home security and provide real-time alerts to homeowners in case of security breaches.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Data management and visualization:</b>To effectively manage and visualize the data collected by the sensor nodes, the system utilizes Python libraries, databases, and the Qada Fruit library for dashboard development. The data management and visualization components include:</li>
<ul>
<li><strong>Databases:</strong>Employing databases such as SQLite or PostgreSQL to store and manage sensor data, allowing for historical analysis and trend identification.</li>
<li><strong>Data visualizations:</strong> Utilizing the ada Fruit library to create interactive and visually appealing graphs, charts, and widgets within the user interface. This enables homeowners to monitor real-time sensor data, view historical trends, and make informed decisions regarding home automation settings.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>User interface:</b>The user interface, developed using the Qada Fruit library, offers homeowners a user-friendly and customizable dashboard for monitoring and controlling their home environment. The interface includes the following features:</li>
<ul>
<li><strong>real-time Display:</strong>Presenting real-time data from the sensor nodes, such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, and occupancy, in an easy-to-understand format through charts, graphs, and numerical values.</li>
<li><strong>Control options: </strong>Providing intuitive controls for adjusting temperature settings, lighting configurations, and security preferences directly from the dashboard. Users can set schedules, define automation rules, and receive alerts for specific events.</li>
<li><strong>Customizations: </strong>Allowing homeowners to personalize the user interface by arranging widgets, selecting preferred data representations, and defining display preferences according to their individual needs and preferences. </li>
</ul>
<li><b>Security Measures:</b>Ensuring the security and privacy of the home automation system, the implementation includes the following security measures:</li>
<ul>
<li><strong>Encryption: </strong>Implementing encryption techniques, such as SSL/TLS, to secure data transmission between the sensor nodes, gateway, and user interface, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information.</li>
