Problem Statement
Human being is always in search of the means that facilitate his life and the thirst to explore the world led him to the latest inventions. The Smart Home system is an RFID access control and automated lighting system that will provide ID-based entry into a building and trigger the activation of a user-matched lighting scheme. This system will use an RFID authentication system to communicate with a microcontroller that will release an electric door strike for access and turn on a set of lights corresponding to the pre-determined path of the user.

1. Aims & Objectives

The purpose of this project is to automate entry into Multiple Dwelling Units (MDUs) and office buildings using RFID technology. This technology will be used in order to customize lighting conditions based on the individual who is attempting entry. Also, requiring the user to be authenticated upon entrance and exit at main entry points will allow for the monitoring of individuals entering and exiting the premises. This system will primarily be purchased and installed by builders and developers of MDUs and offices, although it can be adapted to single family residences.

2. Literature Review
The use of RFID for access control is becoming very popular because it can remove the manual aspect of entry involved with keys, keypads, and magnetic stripe cards while also increasing security due to unique identification. Using RFID for entrance into a building will not only increase convenience, but also allow for tracking of who has entered the building premises at a given time. This will increase building security and thus the safety of the occupants.

3. Methodology of Research 4.1 Theoretical Studies

Studying different books related to the project. Also getting help from the internet and teachers.

4.2 Experimental Set Up

For experimental purpose we will develop radio frequency identity cards and RFID card reader.

4.3 Method of Analysis

For analysis we will observe and measure the output of the system.

4.4 Result Expected

After observing the system output response we will get a result. The result can be according to our desire or there should be some problem
