OUTLINE

Active Home, installing active home, hooking up & wiring the stamp, programming the stamp, wiring the alarm, Led, and solenoid to show activation

MOTIVATION

MY motivation for this project was my brother.

He works as a welder ,who works out of town or state most of the time,and is rarely home.

So he real need some type of security system put into his home.

Low cost

INTRODUCTION

Active Home works by sending a signal through the power lines to a receiver

The receiver plugs in any standard plug-in

With a computer and the Active Home software you can turn on/off anything through the USB port

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Was finding a security system that would work in a remote area

The biggest problem was putting too much current flow on the stamp from the solenoid coils that hold current.

7

PROPOSED SOLUTION First when hooking up the solenoid I

used a transistor. To solve this problem of the voltage

across the stamp I used a diode from the positive end of the solenoid to ground.

This way the diode acts like a switch and stops the voltage from going back to the stamp.

RESUILTS

The program shows that Pins 7-5 are used as outputs on the stamp

Shows that the alarm will beep five times then turn on the Led and the solenoid locking the door. Click to add an outline

DIRS=%111000 'bit 7-5 out, bit 0-4 are inputs SYMBOL COUNTER=W1 For counter=1TO5 'the counter counts five times PULSOUT7, 10000 'on pin 7 for 100*10 micro sec=100ms PAUSE 1000 'off for 1000ms=1 sec NEXT counter 'counter goes to thee next counter 1 to 5 PIN6=1 'makes pin6 a output turns it on PIN5=1 'makes pin5 a output turns it on END

RESULTS By using Active Home to

turn on/off a power supply, I could control the stamp

With the stamp, I programmed pins 7-5 to be outputs; the program allowed the alarm to beep five times, then turn on the Led and the solenoid.

The solenoid is what locks and unlocks the door

CONCLUSIONS

Active Home Pro worked better than planned

For under $100.00 dollars it was real a good investment

I learn that there are mean ways the secure a home as you’ll see in the other projects.

FUTURE WORK Through Active Home there are

many possible extensions by adding timers and other appliance

I would like to add video cameras just to work around the house at night
