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.

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

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


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

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
Do you have any suggestions
