3 Design and Principle Analysis of Simple Intelligent Home System

3.1 Overall System Architecture Design

Table 1: Overall system architecture design

In the design process of simple intelligent home system, the overall architecture design of the system is a crucial link. Through the reasonable architecture design, the system can ensure the coordination and cooperation between the various modules of the system, and realize the effective operation of the overall function of the system. The overall architecture of the system includes three main parts: hardware module, software module and communication module. The hardware module includes sensors, actuators, controllers, and other devices; the software module includes application software such as system master program, data processing program, and user interface, and the communication module is responsible for data transmission and communication between devices. By reasonable design of the overall system architecture, the stability, security and reliability of the system can be improved, so as to provide users with more intelligent and convenient home experience.

3.2 Design of The Main Functional Modules

Figure 1: Design of the main functional modules of the simple smart home system

When designing the main functional modules of the simple smart home system, we first consider the needs and convenience of users. The system mainly includes intelligent home appliance control module, environment sensing module, security monitoring module and remote control module. The intelligent home appliance control module can realize the remote control of the home appliances, such as adjusting the light brightness, air conditioning temperature, etc. The environment sensing module can monitor the temperature, humidity and other information of the home environment, so that users can adjust the home equipment according to the environmental conditions. The security monitoring module can realize the real-time monitoring of home security, such as the detection of intrusion behavior or fire. The remote control module allows users to remotely control their home devices via their mobile phone or computer, easily managing the home no matter where they are. Through the design of these functional modules, we can realize the comprehensive control and intelligent management of the smart home system [5].

3.3 Analysis of The Control Principle

In the simple intelligent home system, the control principle is the key to realize the automatic control. First, the control logic needs to be designed to determine the linkage relationship and trigger conditions between each device. For example, when the temperature sensor detects that the indoor temperature is too high, the air conditioner will automatically turn on and reduce the temperature. The second is the algorithm design, which needs to analyze and process according to the data collected by the sensor to determine the optimal control strategy [6]. For example, use smart algorithms to optimize the switching time of a device to improve energy efficiency and comfort.

The design of the control principle makes the smart home system more intelligent and intelligent, providing users with more convenient life experience. In the process of implementation, the control logic and algorithm need to be constantly optimized and adjusted to adapt to different scenarios and requirements. Only by continuous innovation and improvement, the simple intelligent home system can truly realize intelligent control and improve the quality of life.

In the hardware design and production stage, our team first determined the various hardware equipment required by the system, including sensors, actuators, controllers and so on. For different functional modules, we selected appropriate technical solutions for design and production. Through the study of smart home products and related information on the market, we have an in-depth understanding of the working principle and interface specifications of various sensors and actuators.

In the hardware design process, we fully consider the stability, flexibility and ease of use of the system. We use off-the-shelf electronic components and modules to reduce production costs and workload as much as possible. At the same time, we also fine debug and optimize the hardware according to the functional requirements of the system to ensure that it meets the design requirements.

4.2 Software Development and Debugging

The experimental results show that the system can accurately control the switch of home equipment according to the environmental parameters, and realize the energy saving and intelligent management [10].

The experimental data also demonstrate the monitoring function of the system for the home environment. The mobile APP can view the temperature, humidity and light intensity of the room in real time, helping users to better manage their home environment. At the same time, the system also supports the remote control function, the user can remotely control the home appliances through the mobile phone, improve the convenience and comfort of the home.
