Home Automation Abstract
Home Automation Abstract
The
first thing that comes to mind when folks think of home automation are robots, flashing
lights, complicated electronics and a general feeling that their home is less of a warm
home and more of a cold science experiment. However, in most homes today, you can
easily find some simple forms of automation such as:Garage door openers ,Remote
Controls ,Irrigation / sprinkler control systems ,Motion activated lights ,Security
systems ,Programmable thermostats ,Programmable light timers If you want to keep
going, you can throw in dishwasher, clothes washers and dryers, ovens, microwaves,
cars, lights and switches…. The list goes on and on.
You may not think of a dishwasher or light switch as home automation, but compared to
washing dishes by hand and striking a match to light a candle ever time you enter a
room, it's defiantly automation.However, each of these things was designed to help us
do some complicated, strenuous, unpleasant, or repetitious action automatically. The
term 'Home Automation' today applies to the next level of automating home electronics.
The simple answer is just to make life easier. We invented TV remote controls so we
didn't have to get out of the chair to change the channel. Some people now own
complex media systems that require the owner to press 10 different buttons on 5
remotes just to watch Oprah.
Press one button on a remote control and have it dim the lights, set the volume level,
and start playing a movie and music which you desire. Not have the sprinklers turn on if
it just rained. Get emails sent to you at work or on your cell phone if a motion detector or
security system is tripped while out of the house. Get emails sent to you with the caller
ID information of a call received at your house when out. Automatically turn the lights on
in the house when the garage door goes up and it's after sundown. Automatically turn
the front porch lights on 1/2 hour before sundown every day (and automatically adjust
for daylight savings). Automatically close the garage doors every night. Automatically
turn on holiday lights at specific times (all at once). The full list is limited to imagination
and a family's lifestyle.
The main principle of this project is to develop a module for Home Automation and
Security system mainly in a Home and Industry using Industrial Sensors and transfer
the related sensed data using the latest Global System for Mobile Technology (GSM),
which intimates the unauthorized entry\Smoke, and Temperature to the Embedded
-Controller. The Embedded -Controller maintains the security system, so its present
information sends to the user for further investigation.
In Security system, the device connected to the sensors. When somebody had entered
home forcibly, the sensor connected to the door will detect the presence of person, and
it will give an interrupt to the microcontroller. Then according to the program load in the
flash, the controller will find out from which sensor the interrupt had came, then it will
sent SMS to the owners mobile or police by retrieving the phone numbers from memory
where numbers are stored in it. The system has been designed which is based on
wireless communication embedded system. The design provides the necessary control
for the working of home automation and security system. The control software program
is written in ‘Embedded C’.The program has the capability of sending and receiving the
SMS from and to the user mobile via GSM modem to tell that unauthorized entry/smoke
has detected in case of security system and to control some devices in case of
automation system respectively. The program also provides the display of current status
of the system.
Software requirements:
Keil µVision2 IDE:
Cx51 is a cross compiler to compile C programs for your target 8051 environment
and provides several extensions to ANSI Standard C to support
The key advantage of GSM systems to consumers has been higher digital voice
quality and low cost alternatives to making calls, such as the Short message service
(SMS, also called "text messaging"). The advantage for network operators has been the
ease of deploying equipment from any vendors that implements the standard. [3] Like
other cellular standards, GSM allows network operators to offer roaming services so
that subscribers can use their phones on GSM networks all over the world.
Newer versions of the standard were backward compatible with the original GSM
phones. For example, Release '97 of the standard added packet data capabilities, by
means of General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). Release '99 introduced higher speed
data transmission using Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE).
General Behaviors
SIM Insertion, SIM Removal
SIM card Insertion and Removal procedures are supported. There are software
functions relying on positive reading of the hardware SIM detect pin. This pin state
(open/closed) is permanently monitored. When the SIM detect pin indicates that a card
is present in the SIM connector, the product tries to set up a logical SIM session. The
logical SIM session will be set up or not depending on whether the detected card is a
SIM Card or not. The AT+CPIN? command delivers the following responses:
If the SIM detect pin indicates “absent”, the response to AT+CPIN? Is “+CME ERROR
10” (SIM not inserted).
If the SIM detect pin indicates “present”, and the inserted Card is a SIM Card, the
response to AT+CPIN? is “+CPIN: xxx” depending on SIM PIN state.
If the SIM detect pin indicates “present”, and the inserted Card is not a SIM Card, the
response to AT+CPIN? is CME ERROR 10.
•
These last two states are not given
immediately
due
to
When the SIM detect pin indicates card absence, and if a SIM Card was previously
inserted, an IMSI detach procedure is performed, all user data is removed from the
product (Phonebooks, SMS etc.). The product then switches to emergency mode.

6. CONCLUSION
The designed home automation and security system has been successfully
demonstrated by connecting GSM modem and sending/receiving the SMS by using
GSM mobile from/to the system via GSM modem. The LCD display will display the
correct current status of the system. This project is easy to implement and it has
become one of the modern wireless privacy system.
