Analysis and Implementation of Functionality for Modular Router

Abstract

Significant growth in IoT and Home Automation in developed and developing nations opens market for huge potential products. HUB acts as a main gateway for Home Automation products. Modular router bring additional functionality to use the Home Automation HUB as router by eliminating the traditional non-modular router feature. To integrate all appliances in smart home such as music centers, set top boxes and make their functionality better, wifi router presence is extremely valuable in home automation. Developed all functionality of router on hub so that we will able to control devices with smartphone or any other device and automate all smart home appliances activity. Developed different wifi router modules functionality such as hostapd, dhcp server, iptables, network configuration, wpa supplicant. For providing service of wifi network connectivity to n thing devices in smarthome, I developed wifi access point in intel nuc board using hostapd, dhcp, iptable, iprouting module and also developed boot time and installation script for wifi access point. Developed application to identify number of devices connected to wifi access point, by using iptable firewall rule ,developed a rule for all illegal devices who are trying to connect to our wifi access point ,restrict their connection. For backend process , Developed API for web user interface of router. Developed backend API related to ifconfig, iwconfig, iwlist, iwscan, wpa cli, wpa supplicant, hostapd, dhcp module.
