CHAPTER 3
COMMUNITY SERVICE PART

As a part of our community service project we decided to visit

ITUKALAPALLI village in Anantapur mandal, to create awareness on the topic
“IOT BASED HOME AUTOMATION”. On first hand we went to seek the
permission from the community head i.e., the panchayat secretary and explained him
about the project that we are going to take up in his community and asked him to help
us to get the necessary data form the locals in accordance with the projet.

He agreed to all our requests and gave the permission to proceed to the next step.we
decided to wander around the community so that we might get an overview regarding
the number of households in the community and about the locals.

We met some locals on the following day and asked them wheather they are interested
to take part in the survey that we are going conduct as they agreed we proceeded to
take the survey.

We asked them the questions that we had prepared for the survey and noted all the
important outcomes from them.

The next day we visited some of the houses and asked if they are comfortable with
awareness program that we are going to implement and they had agreed for that, so
we collected all the necessary information that is needed for the project. After
analysing the collected informaion, we asked them if they were aware of home
automation and IoT, since they were not aware of it, we went on to teach them about
the home automation and how it beneficial for the convinence, its efficiency and its
benefits that helps them to attain a sustainable living.

PROBLEMS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED IN THE MANUAL

HOUSEHOLDS
Manual household management, while straightforward, comes with several challenges
and inefficiencies. Here are some key problems associated with managing a
household manually:

1. Energy Inefficiency

 Human Error: Forgetting to turn off lights, appliances, or heating/cooling

systems can lead to unnecessary energy consumption and higher utility bills.
 Inconsistent Practices: Inconsistent habits in managing energy use, such as
leaving devices on standby or failing to adjust thermostats, contribute to
inefficiency.
 Lack of Optimization: Without automation, optimizing energy usage based
on occupancy patterns or environmental conditions is difficult.

2. Security Risks

 Traditional Locks: Reliance on physical keys for locks can result in security
issues if keys are lost, stolen, or copied.
 No Real-Time Monitoring: Limited ability to monitor home security in real-
time makes it challenging to respond quickly to potential threats or
emergencies.
 No Automated Alerts: Manual systems do not provide automated alerts for
unusual activities, such as unexpected door openings or motion detection.

3. Convenience and Accessibility

 Physical Effort: Managing household tasks requires physical effort, which

can be particularly challenging for elderly individuals or those with
disabilities.
 Time-Consuming: Daily tasks such as adjusting lighting, temperature, and
appliances take time, which can be inefficient for busy households.

31 | P a g e
DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING
IoT FOR HOME AUTOMATION

 Lack of Remote Control: Without remote access, controlling household

functions from outside the home is impossible, limiting convenience.

4. Maintenance and Management

 Overlooked Tasks: Important maintenance tasks like changing air filters,

checking smoke detectors, and maintaining appliances can be easily
overlooked without reminders.
 No Centralized Control: Managing multiple household functions requires
individual attention to each, leading to fragmented and inefficient
management.
 Difficulty Coordinating: Coordinating tasks among household members can
be challenging without a centralized system to track and assign
responsibilities.
