Abstract—Internet of Things (IoT) is a hot and debated subject
in current digitalized era. IoT enables internet connectivity for
all kinds of devices and physical objects. The current world is
approaching towards virtualization of different types of systems
that enables performing activities without direct physical inter-
action. The combination of high-speed internet and intelligent
devices makes it easier to manage multiple jobs smoothly without
the limitation of distances. The outstanding advantages of these
promising technologies require the deployment and utilization of
proper methods to handle the difficulties arise with these new
applications. in the real world. This paper propose an efficient
low cost supervisory system for smart home automation that can
be managed using IoT. The proposed system is based on Apriori
algorithm and will help to monitor and control all the home
appliances and electronic devices through a supervisory system
in a most efficient and reliable manner. Both the consumers
and the suppliers will get the opportunity to manage the power
distribution by monitoring the electricity consumption.
I. I NTRODUCTION
Internet of things (IoT) develops a new era of technological
world with a new innovation of intelligence computing [1],
[2]. IoT can be termed as the connection among various kinds
of digital and analog devices like smart phones, personal com-
puter, personal digital assistance, and tablets to the internet,
that create in very new approach of communication among
things and people and consequently among also things [3].
The pivotal aim of IoT is to monitor and connect the physical
objects/devices around us in a more smooth and smart way
[4]. IoT offers to modify the shape of living by ensuring cost
effective living including safety, security, and entertainment.
Rapid development of technology makes the human daily
life more comfortable with the help of recently designed smart
systems and devices [5], [6]. Due to the rapid improvements
in internet and the development of smart embedded systems,
people are getting more customized in using the internet to
avail numerous services around the globe [7], [8]. Daily life
utilities are mostly enabled with internet protocol (IP) [9], and
in the near future, many of these will smart devices that are
communicating over IoT [10]. The pivotal aim of IoT is to
monitor and connect the physical objects/devices around us in
a smart manner [4]. IoT offers to modify the shape of living
by ensuring cost effective living including safety, security, and
entertainment. This technology can be applied in multiple daily
life disciplines in order to enhance the life [8].
Smart homes are augmenting more interest among all people
irrespective of rich and poor throughout the world [11], [12].
The research community is putting lot of efforts in enhancing
the IoT from every aspect to make it more and more efficient
and reliable [9], [13]–[17]. In this scenario, an intelligent al-
gorithm might help to handle IoT based devices to accomplish
the activities of daily routine in an optimal manner [8], [11].
In this work, an algorithm approach has been proposed
for home automation and metering system to increase the
efficiency and reliability of power consumption control and
supervisory. Initially all data is collected from the sensors
and organized with the help of Apriori algorithm [18], [19]
that is used to perform dynamic analysis. Based on the
algorithm criteria, the common rules are generated to control
the connected devices. The pivotal benefit of these rules is
to train the system for upcoming events. A web portal is
designed and developed in a manner to control IoT embedded
appliance and other electronic devices at home from any part
of the world in a reliable manner. Consequently, the electricity
consumption can be determined and the automated billing can
also be generated with the help of the web portal. At this stage,
frequent used devices in a home can be categorized according
to the number of hours the device is being used.
The Section II reviews the related state of the art literature
available yet. Section III presents and explains the proposed
system architecture, Section IV illustrates Apriori algorithmic
followed by the operation of the system that is discussed in
Section V. Finally, the paper is concluded in Section VI.

In [20], the authors have developed a system using Rep-
resentational State Transfer (REST) based Web services that
does not require a dedicated server PC for monitoring and
controlling environment. The authors implemented server ap-
plication within Arduino with the ability to configure and
enable the communication and to extract the messages in
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. The authors have
utilized JAVA programming language based the Android Soft-
ware Development Kit (SDK) to develop the Smartphone
application that provides the functionalities to the user as,
remote connection, then the control on devices, monitoring the
devices, and schedule management. The application have the

option for user under settings to enter the network details to
connect with the micro Web-server in their application. The
application is synchronized with the Web-server in order to
retrieve the data from actuators and sensors. In this work, no
comparison of results to justify the system functionality and
performance are presented by the authors.
The authors in [2] proposed Internet of Things based low
cost ubiquitous sensing system to monitor regular domestic
conditions. The system provides basic operations as remote
management and control of domestic devices to the user. The
system framework and the functionality depends on the com-
bination of information system for data aggregation, pervasive
distributed sensing units, and reasoning and context awareness.
The authors utilized XBee-S2 modules built by Digi equipped
with sensors and is connected with a coordinator using wire-
less communication. The coordinator is then attached to the
router runs an open source embedded Linux (OpenWRT). In
this system, still internet protocol (IP) v6 is working until the
router that works as gateway for packet transformation from
ZigBee network based devices to IPv6 format, which means
that the gateway is connected to internet not the devices.
In another work, the authors in [21] considered IoT-based
home automation using low-cost android phones. The authors
propose two types of home automation using Bluetooth and
Ethernet. Nonetheless, data sources in this designing is not
clear. As a consequence, a deadlock situation arises when
multiple phones try to access common web portal. For experi-
mentation, the authors utilized micro-controller based Arduino
board and a customized Android based mobile phone with
customized application.
The flexible standalone, low cost smart home system is
presented in [22]. This system is based on Arduino platform
that communicates over the internet with a customized app
installed on Android mobile. The Arduino device is enabled
with sensors and functionalities such as intrusion detection
sensors, humidity sensors, temperature sensors, smoke/gas
sensors, power plugs, and light switches to be monitored and
controlled by the mobile app. The heart of the system is
the micro web-server programmed and run on Arduino Mega
2560. The authors have tested and have analyzed the efficiency
of the application and its connectivity over the internet. The
system generates alerts based on the given thresholds only in
the form of emails.
In [23], the authors emphasis more on customer-centric
technique to make the system more scalable and based on this
technique have presented an architecture for the IoT based
last-meter smart grid. Their architecture provides four main
advantages first of which is seamless integration of smart
grid with smart home applications. Secondly, the collection
and analyzation of the sensed data through communication
protocols. Furthermore, the system can be only be accessed
by the authorized persons. Fourth one is to simplify interac-
tion with nontechnical users, the system allows mapping of
sensor and actuator to the layer of abstraction. This system is
deployed and is tested to provides monitoring and managing
power consumption in real time. The experimentation depends
on ZigBee network that connects and communicate with IoT
server via gateway that translates packets from ZigBee to IP
gateway.
One of the recent study [24] has designed a smart home
approach with moderate security and low development cost
under IoT. However, this process only considers sequential
approach that cannot handle congestion generated by large
number of devices. Power utilization and conservation in
homes in considered in another research [3] IoT device are
merged in a common line. In this development, they applied
image processing system to identify human functionalities.
But image processing consumes longer time to select desired
devices. In the same analysis, another research is designed
based on WiFi and GSM technology. The problem of this
work is to collect data from sensors and control according to
the desired devices [25]. Though there are quite a few types
of research are carried out elsewhere, still, there is the scope
for more improvement of home automation system using IoT.
III. S UPERVISORY S YSTEM FOR S MART H OME
The supervisory system is shown in Figure 1. The super-
visory system enables the user to select the way he would
like to operate the smart home. It will enable the user to
control and monitor several home appliances such as light,
fan, TV, air cooler, washing machine etc. can be controlled.
To accomplish the operations, a supervisory system has been
designed. In database part of the web site, Apriori algorithm
is implemented under database quarry language. Apriori al-
gorithm will be used in order to validate the most frequent
data recorded on the database. Then the user can access the
supervisory system through a dedicated webpage, such as
(http://ha.dcoders.net/), where he/she will send a command
through a Wi-Fi router/Internet. Then, the command will
receive by the microcontroller via Wi-Fi module. Afterwards,
according to the command send by the user the electronic
devices can be controlled. From Fig. 1, it can also define the
system consists of two-way communication. The first is to
control the devices using this dedicated supervisory system,
as previously depicted.
The supervisory system enables the user to obtain in-
formation about the power consumption by the devices, in
addition, the meter reading can be obtained directly. That
means the devices will send the power consumption rating to
the supervisory system with the help of a dedicated hardware
that can be implanted using a simple microcontroller.

A. Apriori Classifier
Apriori is a classic algorithm for learning and generating
association rules from large data set. Association rules are
defined as IF-THEN statements that help to discover the
relationships between unrelated data in relational database and
other nature of data and properties. The Apriori algorithm
is considered as a moderately depth preference selection
approach that handles frequent item sets, which are then
combined with Association Rues (AR). The association rules

the designed system with standard format. Accurate time is
ensured by analyzing simultaneous simulation of collected
data and Apriori algorithm. The quality of microcontroller and
Wi-Fi chips is also a critical issue for efficient communication.
Various chips from different companies are analyzed, and
find out that system efficiency specifically depends on the
quality of chips. Fogs and other dust factors are also vital
for temperatures assessments or predictions. The temperature
is measured periodically over the day to acquire an average
temperature.
A meter reading by the proposed system that includes
mainly the power consumption and rating of the devices and
further to generate the billing is all automated. Users should
first configure the supervisory system by selecting the smart
electric meter to enable the readings. There are several options
for a user for instance, he/she can key in the meter number for
getting information and the bills. Moreover, not only newer but
also the previous bills and information can be extracted, like
real power, apparent power, power factor, supply voltage and
energy consumption by the devices. This dynamic supervisory
system calls the data from the meter at the rate of 10kb/s
after every two seconds. Hence, the system requires or utilize
very low bandwidth that does not affect the other applications
running by the user over the internet.

on a database with a set of options to turn on and off the
devices used in home automation. According to the database,
if any user would like to turn on or off the device, he/she just
need to click the appropriate option. A scaled based indicator
with a maximum value of 100 is used to control different types
of devices, for instance, to control the speed of the fan. In
this way, the supervisory system can control all the connected
home appliances. Figure 5 shows a smart reading obtained
from the supervisory system.
The second advantage of the proposed system is to obtain
the meter reading, device rating, and the billing information.
As shown in the figure 7, the user can acquire rating of the
devices based on the energy utilization from the supervisory
system. The device rating particularly helps the user in main-
taining the devices utilization that eventually helps in reducing
the electricity consumption and the bill. The information
maintained by the supervisory system further helps in avoiding
the unfair meter readings that some time happens while taking
meter reading manually due to human errors. Moreover, the
electricity company can obtain the accurate energy consump-
tion information generated by the supervisory system. In the
result, the proposed system raises the efficiency of the billing
system and reduces the cost of operation. Additionally, helps
in controlling the power consumption, reduces the illegal usage
and load on the power grid. Suppliers can also identify any
illegal activities by observing the energy consumption at grid
side and the userŠs side. The other main advantage of the
proposed supervisory system is paying the electricity bill
electronically in an easy manner.
Furthermore, the user with the help of supervisory system
can control and maintain the electricity usage according to
the industrial rules and standards. Accordingly, the user can
monitor the units to keep the energy consumptions in the
given range and avoid billing at higher rate. The system
operation performs based on certain association rules that are
generated by Apriori algorithm and helps is enhancing the
system performance. The system performed with maximum
possibilities with the increase in selected association rules.
System association rules are designed according to the en-
vironment of the appliances as given in Table II. System
operations are varying for different times and association rules.

manage the electronic devices, can monitor the consumption
of electricity, and to pay the electricity bills, securely and
reliably. The supplier can also monitor and accordingly and
maintain the issues in an efficient manner. As a future work,
the work can be extended in different directions, like by
applying it on a real testbed with multiple smart homes to
conduct performance evaluation of the complete system with
enormous load. Moreover, the optimization methods can be
enhanced according to the performance. Other evolutionary
algorithms can be involved to enhance the selection process
and consumption.
