Abstract
As technology evolves, it plays a major role in making people’s lives easier, whether
via self-driving cars, smartphones, smart watches and of course, smart TVs, but the
most important thing to be smart & effortless to deal with is the place a person
spends most of the time in, his/her house!.
Smart House, means a house in which everything can be monitored, controlled
and secured through technology remotely, by the house owner, or by the house
smart components themselves (components interaction). Internet Of Things (IoT)
also is a well-connected field to smart houses where everything is monitored and
controlled via the internet using software like mobile or web application or even by
voice recognition systems that control everything by manipulating a group of state
elements in a database hosted on a local machine or in the cloud.
Alpha House is a project that acts as a proof-of-concept model for how smart
houses should be implemented. This house has multiple subsystems that work
collaboratively to provide the best possible experience for its user/owner. These
subsystems are light system, air conditioning system, detection systems of gas, fire,
rain, and motion with alarm for each one of them, a control system to manage
doors, windows, garage, and a security system that can be activated/deactivated
on demand.
All these monitoring and control abilities are handled through a hardware kit that
will be explained later with details and a software mobile application built with
Flutter UI framework and connected to firebase real-time database instance.
