Design and Implementation of Smart Home Network using Cisco Packet Tracer

Abstract

Technology has become a critical part of our daily activities and routine life in the present day scenario. The need of the hour is to devise a smart home that will be able to control the operation of electronic devices via a smartphone. This concept, while absurd to imagine, can be easily implemented efficiently using a package tracking software which includes IoT functions for control and simulation of a smart home network. IoT technology has had a huge boom in the tech industry in the recent past. IoT, better known as Internet of Things, can be applied to several real time scenarios, such as home automation, treatment, campus, office, etc. In this paper, we will be focusing on a safe home automation system that will be including modules such as: smoke detection, humiture monitoring, motion detection, temperature monitoring and solar panel controlling using smart battery. The aim of our research is to devise a simulation network of smart devices which will be in control of the end-user remotely and implement the concept of smart home automation. This project will make use of the Cisco Packet Tracer to monitor the IoT devices in the smart home network. Simulation results have shown that these smart devices can be connected in a network to the home portal and objects can be successfully monitored which proves that such a model can be used for real life implementation in the user’s home.
