Smart Security System for Homes
My proposed solution involves using a large number of sensors that determine the situation and environment of the house and makes adjustments to the environment control system accordingly.
The problem Smart Security System for Homes solves
The Smart Security System For Homes using Internet of Things has been experimentally proven to work satisfactorily by connecting simple appliances to it and the appliances were successfully controlled remotely through Internet. The designed
system not only monitors the sensor data, like temperature, humidity, gas, flame, but also actuates a process according to the requirement, for example switching on the light when pressed in the app. It also stores the sensor parameters in the cloud (IBM
Cloud) in a timely manner. This will help the user to analyze the condition of various parameters in the home anytime anywhere.
Challenges I ran into
While converting the JSON URL to get response i.e., image, I ran into a lot of struggle as the image wasn't getting displayed in the mobile app. Later, I noticed that the my Node-RED was password protected. So, I went ahead & created another http request with basic authentication & provided the IBM Cloudant username & password which solved the issue.
Also, the biggest issue was that I received a free trial of IBM Cloud Services for 1-2 week(s) that also with limited resources. So, I had to plan & complete the project accordingly. Though, I'm still unsure whether or not the services will be running by the end of the project submission/evaluation.
