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

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 youll 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
