Title:
SMART HOUSE APPLICATION
Description:
Smart House consists of three type of controlling systems, which enablethe user to control and monitor each system. It create database files which canstore each orders in smart house, and can be scheduler the start and end timesfor each system in house.

The Challenge:
Each of us needs comfort and safety in ourlife. Many real systems used in building don't have the flexibility and theability to give users all comfort and safety that they need. Making a completed system is a big challengebecause of the need to make many controlling system which can run in the sametime. Our project include many system which controlled by LabVIEW such as: firealarm system, burglary alarm system, internal light system, external lightsystem, remote control system, conditioning system, power supplies switchingsystem, and garage door system.
The Solution:
Smart House, give users a flexibility and efficiency to control allsystem. By LabVIEW software, users can put a special configuration on settingscreen in order to activate any system and to schedule the run time for thesesystems. LabVIEW has a monitor screen which can show any change in the housesystems. LabVIEW is connecting with remote control which gives us the abilityto put many modes for our controlling system. Besides that, LabVIEW give us theability to send SMS for especial change

Internal lightingSystem
The internal lighting systemconsists of a PIR motion sensor, dimmer and lamps which have a direct controlby LabVIEW software. This system will make an automatically lighting in thehouse when there is any movement inside it. Dimmer can use to make a small lamplighting percentage, and LabVIEW will make a 100% lighting for the lamps whenit receive a movement signal from Pmotionsensor and the user can scheduler the time of running the system .

|
External lightingSystem
| lighting system depends on a sun cell reading that the DAQ read it and give it to LabVIEW software to analysts it. So LabVIEW software has an indicator about day and night time of in order to control the status of external light lamps.

Fire Alarm System &Burglar Alarm System
When an fire (or Burglary) happen in house , labVIEW will receive signal from fire (or burglary) sensors , and can be able to send SMS to two different mobiles and run the fire alarm siren as user need , in addition LabVIEW can sent signals to help put out the fire ( or to make more safety for the house ) |

Temperature System
The basic thing in temperaturesystem is the reading of temperature value from temperature sensor. For that,we use LM35 temperature sensor. This sensor is connected directly with DAQ.LabVIEW read the signal from LM35 sensor as variable analog value. Afterprocessing the structure in the program, LabVIEW will sent a cooling or heatingsignal to the system, depending on the value of the sensor and the criticalvalue of temperature that required. In the mechanism of temperature systemprogramming, we use PWM system to control the heating and cooling devices .

Central Unit and Rooms Units Remote Control
The remote control is used to make some operation in the system by connection it's with LabVIEW software. In addition, it used to control and switching the load in every room in the house using the rooms units receiver in every room, as well as used alone transmitter remote to control the Garage door. So the system has two transmitter remote control one used for internal controlling (Central unit and Rooms units) and another one used for external controlling (Garage door). |
|
Garage Door Remote Control
Wemade a special remote controlwhich can carried in the garage owner's car to enable him to open the garage door when the car be closed from thegarage

Automatic Water Level Control System
A three phase induction motor is installed todraw water from a reservoir and pump it into an overhead tank; the motor can bestarted and stopped with the help of limit switches operated by floats toprovide automatic water level control.

|
Central house power switching system
Its SubVI consist of send a codes number to microcontroller via DAQ, some of these to turn ON and other to turn OFF the power switching. |

Soon
it's a great job my brother hossam ...I didn't read it yet and I don't have no idea about the new technology which you use ....but I will do inshallah when I have time , i promise !!
hope you the best hossam !!
