A Remote Temperature Monitoring System and Method for loT-Based Smart Homes
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present disclosure relates to a MQTT- Driven remote temperature monitoring system for IoT-Based smart homes and method for the same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Internet of Things (IoT) is known as the practice of establishing inter-connection among everyday life objects with heterogeneous embedded computing devices allowing them to exchange data and resources through the network. These devices contain built-in sensors that can be made to perform various tasks through control signals.
In order for resource-constrained IoT devices and sensors to communicate with each other for secure data transmission, IoT has introduced various light-weight messaging protocols including Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), and so forth, that aim at improving the resource efficiency. For instance, using MQTT, these devices can collect and transmit data in the form of light-weight packets only when it is required, which avoids bulk of unnecessary data transmission, and saves network bandwidth and receiver's storage space.
In one existing solution various aspects of MQTT-S have been described as an extension of the open publish-subscribe protocol MQTT for resource-constrained Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In another existing solution the message transmission process based on MQTT has been analyzed consisting of publishing client, susberiber client, and broker server, transmitting messages through 3 different levels of QoS and pay-load sizes, and presented correlation analysis of message loss and end-to-end delays. In another existing solution SMQTT and SMQTT-SN has been proposed as secure versions of MQTT and MQTT-SN protocol for sensor networks with augmented security features based on Key/Cipher text Policy-Attribute Based Encryption (KP/CP-ABE) and light-weight Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). In another existing solution a MQTT based secure home automation system using sensors and Raspberry pi B+ model as main server or network gateway has been proposed. In another existing solution Access Control List (ACL) were implemented for providing encryption method for the data. In another existing solution the performance aspects of Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) have been compared with those of MQTT, and proposed an approach for improvements in MQTT. In another existing solution an authorization mechanism for MQTT based IoT has been presented. The design of the mechanism is based on open authorization standard Oauth 1.0a, and implemented on MQTT based IoT service platform to study the message overhead and authorization delay aspects along with security issues.
In one prior art solution The fully-automatic intelligent household management control system based on Internet of Things has been proposed. The invention discloses a kind of, comprising: environmental perception module, security module, control module, video monitoring module, intelligent gateway module, intelligent monitoring platform. Using the various home environment key parameters of various sensor measurements, historical data is unified into preservation management in conjunction with embedded database storage technology. By intelligent gateway, the long-range state for monitoring various kinds of sensors realize intelligent control with it is unattended Intelligent monitoring platform can automatically control household electrical appliances operating status according to environmental sensor parameter, and provide warning function.
In another prior art solution the invention has an objective to provide an automatic temperature control system for an apartment building which prevents unnecessary energy waste. The automatic temperature control system for an apartment building controls the temperature of each household with an Al switch in an apartment building, and comprises: an energy management server to manage energy of an apartment building; an Al switch installed in each household; and a controller installed in each household. The energy management server includes: a data collection unit to collect at least one piece of information collected from the Al switch; and an Al switch control unit to use control information generated from a machine learning algorithm based on the at least one piece of information to control to allow the Al switch to control the temperature of each household. The Al switch includes: an environment sensor including a temperature sensor to measure the indoor temperature of a corresponding household; and a temperature control unit to control the temperature of the corresponding household based on the control information. The Al switch is connected to the controller of the corresponding household. The controller connected to the Al switch relays control of the temperature of the corresponding household between the Al switch and a wall pad of the corresponding household.
However, since large number of devices and bulk of data have significant impact on the transmission quality parameters, to ensure message reliability, in-depth analysis of certain performance aspects including Quality of Service (QoS), publishing time, are of important concern. Therefore in order to avoid aforementioned drawbacks there is a need for a MQTT Driven remote temperature monitoring system for IoT-Based smart homes and method for the same.
