1 Introduction
The goal of this assignment is to build a smart home control system for a house where
system controls the various devices that are installed in the house through TCP/IP
connections. The system is to be built in such a way that will allow the user to key in the
master PIN number to gain access to the control system from the master bedroom and the
main entrance to level 0. The installed devices in the house are equipped with motor/sensors
that allow them to be controlled through a network TCP/IP. With the floor plan provided
with the system design, the whole system is expected to be able to control devices that are
in the home through TCP/IP based on the design of the floor plan. The system is to be
designed with the central control keypad in the master bedroom and the main entrance
where database is used to store authorized user data of the system. The user will also have
the ability to add or modify PIN numbers and other login details through this central control
keypad.
1.1 LabVIEW
LabVIEW (short for Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) is a
platform and development environment for a visual programming language from National
Instruments that offers more flexibility than standard laboratory instruments because it is
software-based. The graphical language is named "G". To create a VI, the programmer uses
the LabView programming environment to make the user interface by dragging and
dropping objects, and arranging them as desired. There is wide selection of hardware
interfaces and meters to enable the programs to monitor and control electronic equipment.
There are two types of panel. They are front panel and block panel. The Front panel consists
of tools palette and controls palette which are required for programming. And B the Block
panel consists of functions palette which are used for giving inputs and outputs to various
controls which are wired together.
1.2 Controls and Functions of LabVIEW

LabVIEW consists of many hardware interfaces that allows us to create a virtual
environment of smart home security which makes it easy to develop the prototype of Smart
home control system. Different types of controls and functions are used in LabVIEW
programs to meet the requirement of the system. Some of them are listed below;
Controls
I
Controls that are used in designing process are listed below:
 Boolean
 Vertical Fill Slide
 Horizontal Fill Slide
 Button
 String Control
 Constant
 Windows Media Player so on.
Functions
Different types of function that are used in designing process of prototype. They are listed
below:
 While Loop
 Case Structure
 Event Structure
 String Subset
 Decimal String to Number
 Number to Decimal
 String Subset
 Search/Split String
 Type Cast
 Two Button Dialog
 Concatenate String
 Clear Error
 TCP Open Connection
 TCP Close Connection
 TCP Write
 TCP Read
 TCP Listen
 Property Node and so on.

2 Protocol Design
2.1 Server Module
Figure 1: Server Module
The above mentioned figure is block diagram of Server module in LabVIEW. Different
function related to TCP are used in the system. Functions used for TCP network connection
are TCP Listen, TCP Read, and TCP Close Connection. TCP Listen is used to connect the
client through the help of port number and IP address. TCP Listen receive the signal and
its port is checked whether there is the port with same IP address or not. If there is port,
then it is relay to the TCP read. TCP read function is used to read the data and performed
the function which is declared by the programmer. TCP Close Connection is used to close
the TCP Network Connection.
III
2.2 Client Module
Figure 2: Client Module
The above figure is of Client Module of the system. There are three types of TCP protocol
functions used in this module. They are TCP Open Connection, TCP write, and TCP Close
Connection. TCP Open Connection is used to open TCP network connection of client
module and server module. TCP write function is used to write the data on the memory so
that it can be pass to the server for performing respective function. And TCP Close
Connection is used to end the connection of two modules i.e. client module and server
module.
2.3 TCP/IP
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the set of rules for establishing
connection. It is the basic communication tool for network connection. TCP defines how
applications can create channels of communication across a network. It also manages how
a message is assembled into smaller packets before they are then transmitted over the net
and reassembled in the right order at the destination address. IP defines how to address and
route each packet to make sure it reaches the right destination. Each gateway computer on
the network checks this IP address to determine where to forward the message. It helps to
communicate in single or interconnected network. TCP palette in Lab VIEW is used with
DAQ, instrument, File I/O communication, the process involves opening of connection,
writing data, reading data and closing connection. This process is carried out by different
functions of communication palette.
IV
They are TCP Open Connection, TCP Close Connection, TCP Read, TCP Write and
TCP Listen. These functions are described below: (Anon., 2015)
2.3.1 TCP Open Connection

TCP open connection function is used to open TCP network connection with address and
remote port or service name. (Anon., 2017)
Figure 3: TCP Open Connection Function
In this prototype, the TCP open connection is used to open connection through port number.
It is used in client side for establishing connection with server.
Figure 4: TCP Open Connection in Client Side
2.3.2 TCP Write

TCP write function is used to write data to TCP network connection. It passes the message
through network. (Anon., 2017)
Figure 5: TCP Write Function
V
It is used in the client side of this system to write data. Case number is written through it
so that it can be pass to server for functioning equipment.
Figure 6: TCP Write Function in Client side
2.3.3 TCP Read

TCP read number of bytes from TCP network connection and sending result to data out.
Figure 7: TCP Read Function
It is used in server side to read the fixed size message header to describe message. In this
prototype to read the data for the TCP listener.
Figure 8: TCP Read in serve side
VI
2.3.4 Type Listen

TCP Listen function is TCP VI and Function. It creates a listener and waits for an
accepted TCP network connection at specific port. (Anon., 2017)
Figure 9: TCP Listen
It is used to listen the signal from the client module to check whether there is port with
same IP address or not. If there is, then it relays to TCP read function.
Figure 10: TCP Listen in Server Module
VII
2.3.5 TCP Close Connection

TCP Close connection is used to close the TCP network connection.
Figure 11: TCP Close Connection Function
TCP close connection is used in both client and server side.

4 Implementation of Hardcore/Devices
4.1 Ultrasonic Sensor
Figure 13Ultrasonic Sensor
Ultrasonic sensors are the device measures distance by using ultrasonic waves. The sensor
head emits an ultrasonic wave and receives the wave reflected back from the target.
Ultrasonic Sensors measure the distance to the target by measuring the time between the
emission and reception.
4.2 Relay
Figure 14 Relay
A relay is an electrically operated switch that uses an electromagnet to mechanically

operate a switch, but other operating principles are also used, such as solid-state relays.
Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a separate low-power signal, or
where several circuits must be controlled by one signal.

6 Conclusion
In a nutshell, the smart home control system is a very good source of help for big homes
with several level and wide area. But this could also mean more expensive to be
implemented. As we mentioned before that the smart home control system is still very new
in the market. Lastly, the system is complete with basic functionalities that should satisfy
most users. However, there are still a lot of rooms for improvements.
