This project details the conceptual design of a smart home system that would use data to help homeowners optimize their energy usage and security. It includes a light sensor to turn on outdoor lights at night, a light sensor for security, and a temperature sensor and fan for indoor temperature control.

• The light sensitive LED setup is meant to represent the outdoor lights at a house coming on at night.
• When the mini photocell senses a reduced amount of light the LED will light up.
• For a smart home this has energy and security implications. It will save energy by leaving the lights off during the day and will provide increased security at night.
• The exact wiring and setup for this part of the project can be found under experiment 7 in the SIK Experiment Guide.

• The switch is the first step in the security process of the smart home.
• When turned on, the switch will initiate a response asking the user if they wish to enter 'Home' mode or 'Away' mode.
• If 'Home' mode is selected the security is considered disarmed, but selecting 'Away' mode will arm the security system.
• The wiring for this portion of the project can be found under experiment 6 in the Experiment Guide. For the purposes of the smart home, the LED's and their connecting wires found in experiment 6 do not need to be included.

• The second photocell serves as a motion sensor for the security system of the smart home.
• The sensor is only used when the system is put in 'Away' mode as described in the previous step.
• If the photocell experiences a decrease in the amount of light it receives, it recognizes this as motion inside the house.
• The setup for this part of the project can be found under experiment 7 in the SIK Experiment Guide. However, only the photocell and its connecting wires needs to be included in the wiring.

• The RGB LED is used in conjuction with the mini power switch and the second photocell for the security system of the smart home.
• The three different colors are used as indicators for the smart home resident.
• When the system is placed in 'Home' mode, the LED turns blue. When the system is placed in 'Away' mode the LED turns green. When the photocell used as a motion sensor is tripped, the light flashes red.
• The wiring for the RGB LED can be found in experiment 3 of the SIK Experiment Guide.

• The temperature sensor is major part of conserving energy in the smart home.
• The resident is able to input a desired temperature for their home when the smart home is in use.
• Temperature sensor is how the system knows how far the actual temperature is from the desired temperature.
• Setup for the temperature sensor can be found in experiment 9 of the SIK Experiment Guide.

• The motor allows the smart home to regulate the temperature in the house based on the desired temperature and the readings of the temperature sensor.
• Acting as the AC unit in the home, the motor will spin at different speeds based on how much higher the actual temperature is than the desired temperature. The higher the difference, he faster the motor spins.
• The wiring for the motor can be found in the Experiment Guide under experiment 11.

• The code for the smart home includes multiple user interfaces that allows the resident to easily understand how it works and to easily change the settings.
• With the smart home system, the resident will receive and email alert if the motion sensor is set off while they are away.
• The only change that needs to made is inserting the information for the sender's email and the recipient's email address.
