Smart Home Shield and Automation System Using Facebook Messenger Chatbot

摘要

Internet of things and Automation systems have taken over the world at present times. Home security has always been a field of concern among mass people. Making home security systems safer, cheaper and easy to understand is a challenge that many engineers around the world are striving to achieve in developing countries. Considering the economic condition of people of a developing country like Bangladesh, we propose an IoT based smart home security and automation system named ‘Facebook messenger Chatbot’ which is made using Raspberry PI as the central processor. It will enable its users to use it free of cost as Facebook messenger app is free in Bangladesh. People can use it from home or any remote location and can control digital home appliances like fans, lights etc. Smart door locking system, face recognition, gas leakage detection, temperature detection and control, humidity detection, fire detection, which has been done through collecting data from different sensors and passing them to Raspberry PI and then PI passes these to the BOT through a REST API, are the additional features that make our security system safer, effective and easier to use compared to other existing approaches.
