Installing A Single Plc For Home Automation of An Entire Society

Authors- Kunal Liladhar Patil, Dhananjay Rathod

Abstract-– Home automation is reshaping contemporary living environments by improving efficiency, security, and energy control. This study introduces a novel method for automating an entire residential community with a single Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). In contrast to conventional home automation systems that depend on various microcontrollers or IoT modules, this system centralizes management, lowering complexity and maintenance expenses. The PLC serves as a central hub, effectively managing various tasks including lighting, security, water distribution, energy optimization, and predictive maintenance. To facilitate smooth automation, the system integrates modular input-output setups, enabling it to adjust to different needs within the residential community. The PLC utilizes Modbus and MQTT protocols for communication, allowing for real-time data transfer and remote access. Furthermore, a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is incorporated, enabling administrators to oversee and manage different parameters via an interactive dashboard. The suggested system not only boosts security through automated gate controls, biometric verification, and CCTV monitoring, but also increases resource efficiency by optimizing energy use and water distribution according to real-time requirements. Additionally, machine learning algorithms can be implemented to forecast system failures, minimizing downtime and maintenance expenses. This research emphasizes the practicality, benefits, and drawbacks of utilizing one PLC for extensive residential automation, showcasing its ability to transform home automation by providing a scalable, economical, and smart solution for intelligent communities.
