SMART HOME – The Future of Modern Living

On March 19, in the premises of Building A, the presentation of the next Robotics project was held , which aims to strengthen the connection between practical and theoretical skills among engineering students .
Below​​​ is a summary of the presentation made by student Arlind Shkreli .
“In the near future, a home without a smart home system will be as unimaginable as a home without internet access today.”

  Why Smart Home? Smart Home systems are revolutionizing the way we live, integrating technology into our daily lives. This project offers:
• Home automation and management through IoT.
• Development of technical and engineering skills.
• Preparation for the labor market.
• Integration of different technologies and stimulation of creativity.
  Project Objectives The goal of Smart Home is to create a safe, comfortable and automated environment. The technologies used enable:
• Opening the door with RFID.
• Gas and smoke detection for added safety.
• Automatic closing of windows when it rains.
• Control of electrical appliances through a mobile application.
  Main Functions

1. Using RFID for Door Opening: The use of RFID technology allows the door to open automatically when an authorized card or chip is detected.
2. Gas and Smoke Detection Alarm: An alarm system that warns of danger when the presence of gas or smoke is detected in the kitchen.
3. Automatic Window Closing When It Rains: The rain sensor sends signals to automatically close the windows, protecting the interior environment.
4. Mobile App Control: Devices such as lights, fans, and air conditioners can be controlled from a mobile phone through a dedicated app.
   Main Components The project uses components such as:

• ESP32 PLUS Development Board
• RFID Modules
• Analog Gas Sensor
• Servo Motor, Bluetooth Module, and many more
  Arduino programming plays an important role in this project, using the C++ language to create sketches that control the microcontroller. This programming enables the control of devices and increases the efficiency of the system.
  Main Benefits
• High automation and security.
• Development of professional and technical skills.
• Integration with other IoT systems.
• Improving project management and collaboration skills.
  Conclusion Smart Home is not just a concept of the future – it is a reality that is taking shape today. By integrating technology into our daily lives, we not only improve comfort and security, but also open the doors to a smarter and technologically independent future.
