Home Automation Using Plc
Abstract
We as humans have used technology to make almost everything faster, easier and safer to use than
ever before. While there have been extensive use of technology in industry and work place in
general, very little has been done towards home automation. Even the little work that has been
done towards home automation and home comfort has been mostly impractical.
This project proposes a very easily applicable and practically viable system for home automation that
can be implemented with very limited changes to the existing home setup. At the same time the
system will also be simple enough from users perspective and hence can also be used by any
ordinary individuals.
In this project a combination of two promising technologies namely RF 434MHZ and power line
carrier communication (PLCC) will be used to implement a versatile automation system for the
home, that can do almost all the home based controls that we do on a daily basis. PLCC is used
because one thing that is common about all homes and home appliances is the fact that all the
devices are definitely connected to the power lines within the home. Hence if PLCC is used then
control information can be sent to the devices and appliances using the power lines itself, without
the need for any other communication technology.
RF 434MHZ is used in the project because RF enables a very convenient control system using a
remote like device. The remote that will be made in the project is not an ordinary remote that uses
IR for transmission. With IR the user is limited to a certain area and has to point to the device and
control. But with RF 434MHZ the user can be in any part of the home and also does not have to
point to the device that he wants to control. . Using this project any device connected to the home
power lines can be controlled with ease from any part of the home.

Existing System
1. In the existing system, for the purpose of automation, a separate wired/wireless
medium is used for communication.

Proposed System
1. In the proposed system, extra medium is not used instead the power lines within the home
is used.
2. Wireless communication is used, so that we can automate the device from a specific place.
