INTRODUCTION

The concept of a smart home is to ensure that the
system or devices can connect via a network to access and
control the domestic environment, as well as respond to
the users' demands (Fabi et al., 2016). As a result, a solid
network connection is the most crucial issue that
households should consider before adopting a smart home
idea, as bad network connectivity might influence the
system's operation and performance.

Automation and intelligence are still an integral
aspect of smart homes. Three decades ago, smart homes
were simply a theoretical conception of representation of
upcoming residential constructions. Smart homes, on the
other hand, are increasingly becoming important
components of current smart city strategies. In order to
promote smart growth, green development, and healthy
ecosystems, advanced intelligence technologies are
expected to have an influence on urbanised zones. As a
consequence of their potential for adopting design goals
and creating technology to improve occupant comfort,
smart homes have gained in popularity in recent years.

Moreover, smart homes play a vital role in providing
consumers with relevant information about many aspects
of household functioning, such as room temperatures or
occupancy, appliance statuses, and energy usage, in order
to assist them in making more educated decisions (Wilson
et al. 2014). Because of today's advanced technology,
owning a smart house is becoming a need. As a result,
using a home automation system can provide end-users
with benefits that can help them meet the smart home
criterion. In order to obtain a deeper grasp of the smart
technology featured in smart homes,, we will discuss the
application, system, installation process, benefits, problems,
functions, principles, space implications and building
regulations of each system that can be found in smart
homes in this magazine.

Smart firefighting technology,

become a future

development trend for

intelligent fire prevention.

Smart devices may be able to

help you avoid or detect a fire

in your home, averting even

more serious damage by

warning you sooner. While

conventional smoke

detectors are designed to

alert people in the house in

the event of a fire, several of

the following smart gadgets

may also send you alerts on

your phone.

APPLICATION

Smoke detectors are one of your first lines of defence in the event of a fire. When
correctly installed and maintained, they can warn you to danger at the first smell of
smoke, halving the chance of death. Smart smoke detectors function in the same way
as conventional smoke detectors do. When smoke or fire is detected, they sound an
alarm to give inhabitants as much time as possible to flee in the case of a home fire.
Carbon monoxide detection is included in most smart smoke detectors. If the smart
smoke detector is linked to your home automation system, it may leverage the smart
home's sensors and capabilities to detect light or heat even faster.

SYSTEM



The smart smoke detector system is employed for these services in this planned multi-
story smart house. When smoke or fire is detected, they sound an alarm to give
inhabitants as much time as possible to flee in the case of a home fire.

BENEFITS

Detect Fires Faster
A smart smoke detector has the benefit of being able to detect a fire considerably
quicker than a regular smoke detector. A basic smoke detector detects instances in
which there is excessive smoke in a room. Smart smoke detectors go a step further by
detecting whether a room is too hot or has undergone a significant temperature spike.
Notification
A smart smoke detector also has the capability of sending multiple warnings and
alarms to different parties. These smart smoke detectors might be connected to an
infrastructure system that alerts the fire department in the event of a fire. Anyone
having an app connected to the smart smoke detector will also be able to get a
notification when a fire occurs, even if they are not at home.
Reliability
People are often advised to check their smoke detector batteries a few times a year.
When using a fresh battery, smart smoke detectors, on the other hand, you can be sure
that they will live considerably longer. You can also use the app to check the power
level of your smart smoke detectors at any time.

How Service Function

Traditional smoke alarms and smart smoke alarms work in the same way. Smart smoke
alarms are hybrid devices that detect smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide in the
immediate vicinity of the home. Not only does a smart smoke alarm sound when there is
a threat, but it also alerts the owner and generates noise in the home area to inform
inhabitants inside and outside the house.

Connection

The smart smoke alarm connects to the smart home hub through Wi-Fi and assists in
notifying the current status to the owner's devices via the application downloaded. The
particular alarm will be activated, and the owner will be notified if the smart smoke
alarms are synced up in one area or place. If the owner is away from home, the smart
home hub will assist in determining which alarm has been activated. They can alert the
authorities swiftly, perhaps averting a terrible situation

PRINCIPLE

There are three types of smoke detectors: optical smoke alarms, also
called photoelectric smoke alarms, ionisation, and a combination of
the two, called a dual detector. The photoelectric smoke alarm is
based on the idea that light scatters. Pulsed infrared LEDs inside the
alarm send a beam of light into the sensor chamber every 10 seconds
to look for smoke particles. Ionization smoke detectors, on the other
hand, use a source of ionising radiation and a chamber that makes
ions. Americium-241 is present in a modest quantity (about 1/5000th of
a gramme) in the ionisation smoke detector.

MOBILE CREDENTIALS

Smartphones are the new key, which is why
this system has made the mobile device the
key that users use to gain access to and move
throughout all of their building's spaces. The
mobile credential works by bringing the phone
up to the door access reader, which is
extremely simple to use and provides a great
user experience. Furthermore, each smart
phone contains a trusted ID number that is
encrypted in a bit format, making it more
difficult to duplicate. The use of Bluetooth Low

A keycard reader (installed on the door) is also
required for this system, and users can gain
access by tapping their card on the reader
(proximity reader). The keycards eliminate the
need for users to insert a metal or traditional
key into a tumbler lock in order to gain access.
Instead, the keycard magstripe, or a chip in the

APPLICATION

An elevator, as seen in many buildings, is an internal
vertical transit that allows users to go from one floor
level to the next and convey heavy products with
ease. The same idea is used in the house elevator
system, however there is little variation in terms of
limit capacity, design, and cost between commercial
elevators and residential elevators. Originally, the
home elevator system was often implemented in
luxury multi-storey homes rather than a standard
multi-storey homes due to the high expense of
installation. However, for a multi-storey smart home
idea, a home elevator can be used as transport
rather than a staircase since its vertical small design
will limit the consumption of the floor area.

LIFESTYLE, LUXURIOUS AND SMART

Moving on, a smart home elevator is an intelligent system idea that manages the home elevator
system by voice recognition or devices such as tablets and smartphones with an application linked
via network access. A smart home elevator system improves safety and security features since it can
be set by users to only recognise their homes, as opposed to a traditional home elevator that may
be used by anybody. A home elevator with these safety precautions is an innovation, as the elevator
must be initiated by the user access keycard before proceeding to the selected floor level. However,
because this invention is primarily ideal for office buildings, it is not practical for homeowners to
carry an access keycard anytime they wish to use their home elevator. As a result, a smart home
elevator that can be maintained via a device and controlled using voice command is more
appropriate for a multi-story smart house. Aside from that, these smart home elevator technologies
may track the elevator's performance or operation and notify the user if the elevator requires
service.

through a smartphone. The Aritco
HomeLift is linked via the Aritco SmartLift
application, which can be downloaded
from the Google Play or Apple Store. This
application allows users to setup,
investigate the elevator operating status,
and personalise the desired colours and
brightness of the lighting system for their
smart home elevators such as shaft light,
wall light, and many more.

Aside from that, Aritco Smart HomeLift has a number of smart safety features. One of them is
that the elevator can identify its users from a distance using a motion sensor, and the elevator
door will automatically open or stop if any obstructions are identified in front of it.
Furthermore, the elevator may be monitored through a smart control panel, allowing users to
secure their elevator and prevent it from being used by others. Furthermore, Aritco provides
backup energy management for its smart home elevator by applying batteries to power up the
elevator in the event of a power supply failure, allowing customers to walk to the next floor.
Finally, Aritco has built its smart home elevator with an alarm button that connects to an auto-
dialer that users may engage in the event of an emergency. Surprisingly, the Aritco HomeLift is
controlled via a smart control panel feature named "Steering Wheel." To operate the Aritco
HomeLift, users will only need to spin the steering wheel smart control. Since the operating
system of a house elevator is often controlled by pushing a key switch controls button, these
upgraded characteristics of running an elevator manage to create a contemporary and sleek
appearance of a smart home elevator.

FUNCTION, CONNECTION & POSITIONS

SMART CONTROL BUTTON AND STEERING WHEEL
The smart control button and steering wheel function are used to operate the elevator by rotating the
steering wheel to pick the floor destination and pressing the button to activate the elevator motor.

LIMIT CAPACITY INDICATOR
If there is an excessive passenger and the elevator limit load capacity is exceeded, this indicator will signal
the elevator limit capacity load elevator is engineered. The colour of the indicator light will change to red.
This indicates that if the elevator reaches its restricted capacity load, it will not be able to function.

FLOOR LEVEL AND LOCK INDICATOR
The floor level indicator will display the present position of the floor level in a sequence of 1 to 6 based on
the house's storey. If the elevator is put in a two-story residence, the indicator will only display the second
floor. To show the user its present position, the current elevator level indication will be brighter than the
other floor level. When the user activates the lock safety function, the lock indicator will display a locked
sign next to the floor level indication. To engage the lock safety function, spin the steering wheel
counterclockwise and hold it for five seconds.

ALARM AND EMERGENCY CALL BUTTON
Because it is linked to an auto dialler, the role of the alarm and emergency call button is to contact a pre-
programmed number in the event of an emergency. The technician will programme the telephone
number during the elevator installation. The user will be connected to the pre-programmed number
after the green LED of the call button illuminates after more than 10 seconds of pushing the call button.

EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON
When there is an obstruction on the bottom or top of the platform elevator, the emergency stop button
will be activated. The emergency stop button will cause the motor to cease operating and the drive nut
to stop spinning at the same time. When the button is pushed, an arrow sign with a white backlight will
appears on the panel.

ELEVATOR CALL BUTTON
The elevator call button indicates the elevator's present condition and activates the elevator drive
mechanism. The elevator door will be opened once the elevator platform arrives.

SMART LIFT APPLICATION
Once the elevator has been associated with the user devices through a network connection, the SmartLift
Application may be utilised. These applications are used to customise the elevator lighting system,
monitor elevator status, and manage an emergency route.

PRINCIPLE

The suggested elevator's functioning technique was a screw and nut
drive mechanism. When the control system is activated, the elevator
motor placed at the rear surfaces of the platform wall will cause a
movement to the flat cable, which will lead to the movement of the
elevator platform by rotating the drive nut around the drive screw. As
the motor rotates the drive nut, automatic lubrication flows around the
drive screw to give a smooth operation because the lubricating oil is
utilised to minimise friction between the drive nut and the drive screw
during the operation. Furthermore, the drive screw inclination acts as a
brake system for the elevator since the threaded drive screw design
provides a natural brake to the elevator after the drive nut rotation has
halted. In an emergency, this brake system can also be actuated by
pushing the emergency stop button on the control panel.

PRINCIPLE

The vapor cycle described by thermodynamics is the essential operating
principle of the air conditioner (Callen, 1998). The following are the steps in
the vapor cycle:

Superheated vapor is created when a saturated refrigerant is compressed
to a higher pressure.
Heat is rejected from the system by circulating air, which condenses it
into saturated liquid.
The pressure is quickly reduced during the throttle and expansion
process, and the refrigerant mixture turns into a liquid and vapor
refrigerant with lower temperature and pressure.
In the evaporator, a circulating fan collects the heat of an enclosed space
and expands it into saturated vapor.
