This communication allows the implementation of an internet of things solution for smart home. It uses the ZigBee network for communication within the home between the gateway and the different intelligent nodes. A PHP application has been developed enabling the user to control remotely his equipment locally or from the Internet. The house implemented is also characterized by a high degree of intelligence...
This study presents the development of a system which can automatically recognize home appliances based on a dataset of electric consumption profiles. The authors report the creation of AGILASx, a dataset of 50 common home appliances and devices in the Philippines. The dataset is populated with 100 appliance signatures in .XML format acquired using plug-based sensors. Each appliance signature consists...
The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has proliferated the use of connected sensors to observe and control the world around us. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are becoming ubiquitous tools that monitor their surroundings and also oftentimes provide actuation to affect the state of their environment. One of the key application domains for real-time monitoring and control is the freight railroad...
This paper presents a traffic light control system based on wireless communication technologies. Traffic density is increasing at an alarming rate in developing countries which calls for intelligent dynamic traffic light control systems to replace the conventional manual and time based ones. The approach followed in this paper is based in a secure wireless sensor network to feed real time data to...
One of fields that takes advantage of IoT is home automation. Home automation uses different types of network protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ZigBee. However, existing home equipment often requires network communication enabled power plugs or devices that has a unique communication protocol specified by the company. Although these equipment have standard communication capabilities, each device...
Many devices and solutions for remote electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring have been proposed in the literature. These solutions typically have a large marginal cost per added sensor and are not seamlessly integrated with other smart home solutions. Here, we propose an ECG remote monitoring system that is dedicated to non-technical users in need of long-term health monitoring in residential environments...
M2M is an approach where devices such as sensors and actuators connected with each other or with a computer system for data analysis for producing immediate action. This approach is gaining popularity among consumers and service providers to improve the lives of people. Among the most popular M2M vertical applications today is the Smart Home application. This application was built by several key components...

In the field of wireless industrial automation networks (WIANs), the WirelessHART and ISA100.11a protocols are promoted, which support time division and carriersensing multiple access schemes, channel hopping schemes, and mesh network topology to improve reliability and scalability. However, they work on the 2.4-GHz non-licensed industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) frequency band. This band has...
As we see in our regular life the accidents taking place by rash driving and lack of concentration on the traffic information boards. In order to assure safer and smarter driving, various driving assistance systems are increasingly considered in research. Current vehicle driving assistance systems uses number of technologies such as radar, image processing, RFID, IR, computer vision etc. These technologies...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of hundreds or thousands of small energy-constrained nodes with sensing, computation, and wireless communication capabilities, which are spatially deployed at different locations to sense the physical conditions of the surrounding environment. As a result, WSNs are usually applied to many applications that require unattended operations. However unlike many other...
Health monitoring technologies such as Body Area Network (BAN) systems has gathered a lot of attention during the past few years. Largely encouraged by the rapid increase in the cost of healthcare services and driven by the latest technological advances in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and wireless communications. BAN technology comprises of a network of body worn or implanted sensors that...
This paper presents a new smart energy (SE) system with distributed access control. Many other SE systems to date support remote control and automation but not access control, making them applicable to homes but not offices or other public settings. Even if they implement access control, virtually all existing SE systems suffer from central point of failure. To address these problems, we propose a...
The objective of this paper is to present a highly customizable wireless monitoring solution for monitoring of environment characteristics, to evaluate propagation characteristics of wireless signal in inhabited buildings and to discuss important aspects of wireless monitoring systems. We have designed home monitoring system that uses ZigBee wireless sensor network with 8-bit microcontrollers and...
The fast grow of photovoltaic (PV) systems is making more green energy but also creating challenges on how to communicate in a large system with a lot of distribution solar sources when they all connect to the national grid. The communication becomes the important part for data acquisition in order to control the whole system stable and efficiency. To deal with this challenge, this paper presents...
Wolves attacks to sheep and goats are very frequent at night. It has caused great economic losses in some countries. When an animal feels the presence of people or different animals, it experiences an increase of its cardiac frequency and corporal temperature. In this paper, we present a network of wireless nodes using IEEE 802.15.4 technology, which are capable of monitoring the vital signs of the...
