B. Bluetooth Module HC-06
This device is employed for connection of Arduino
Uno and smartphones. HC-06 could be a slave device and it
will operates at 3 to 6 volts DC supply. It has 6 pins that is :
State, RXD, TXD, GND, VCC and EN. For the
communication of the Arduino and the Bluetooth device
the RXD pin of HC 06 is connected to the Arduino TXD at
pin 1 and the TXD of HC 06 connect to the RXD of the
Arduino at pin 0.

DC supply ,that is supplied either by 12 volts battery or by
12 volts AC to DC adapter which is consist of the step
down transformer ,and the bridge rectifier linked with the
4.7 microfarad capacitor. . The Arduino board also powered
via the USB connection using PC or Laptop or with an
external power supply source. The adapter can be
connected by plugging a 2.1mm plug into the board's power
jack. The board can operate on an external DC supply of 6
to 15 volts. If supplied with less than 7V, then during
operation the 5V pin of board may supply less than 5 volts
and made the board may be unstable. If using more than
12V, the voltage regulator used in the board may overheat
and damage the board. So the recommended range is 7 to
12 volts DC. To give the full 24 hours supply to the system
mostly they are connected with power inverter used at
home for the uninterrupted power supply.

VIII. FUTURE WORK

This Proposed system is able to operate and control

the appliances within short range only within 20m , for
future research work it is recommended to increase the
range and interface more sensors and also interface with the
Google assistant system for enhance the security apart from
this project, it should be a low cost and user friendly
system. Moreover the home automation system can also be
interfaced with biomedical (EMG) signals and It will be
beneficial for physically challenged people, they will be
able to control the appliances using their muscle's
movement only.
