Design and implementation of smart home model using solar energy

This project presents a low cost smart home security system for securing and monitoring homes powered by green energy. The system is flexible and users can install this system easily in their houses and use it without any difficulty. It is activated with any smart devices that can use WIFI connection and having a web browser. The proposed automation system consists of hardware and software parts. The hardware can be divided in to two sections, first section is the Smart Home system which consists of many units: microcontrollers (Arduino Mega 2560 and Arduino Uno), RFID modem, finger print detection system, PIR sensor, gas sensor, temperature sensor, photocell sensor, servo motor, router (Ethernet system), camera and LCD screen. Second section is the green energy system which consists of solar cells, battery and power inverter. The software part aims to control and to monitor the system using Arduino integrated development environment (IDE) which compile the code in the microcontroller using C, HTML and C++ programming languages.
