Abstract The main objective of this project is to develop a home automation system using an Arduino board with Bluetooth being remotely controlled by any Android OS smart phone. As technology is advancing so houses are also getting smarter. Modern houses are gradually shifting from conventional switches to centralized control system, involving remote controlled switches. Presently, conventional wall switches located in different parts of the house makes it difficult for the user to go near them to operate. Even more it becomes more difficult for the elderly or physically handicapped people to do so. Remote controlled home automation system provides a most modern solution with smart phones. In order to achieve this, a Bluetooth module is interfaced to the Arduino board at the receiver end while on the transmitter end, a GUI application on the cell phone sends ON/OFF commands to the receiver where loads are connected. By touching the specified location on the GUI, the loads can be turned ON/OFF remotely through this technology. The loads are operated by Arduino board through opto- isolators and thyristors using triacs.Acknowledgement First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our lecturer Mr. Monish Gupta forhis guidance and advice on this project.

It communicates with microcontrollers using serial communication (USART). Default settings of HC-05 Bluetooth module can be changed using certain AT commands. As HC-05 Bluetooth module has 3.3 V level for RX/TX and microcontroller can detect 3.3 V level, so, there is no need to shift TX voltage level of HC-05 module. But we need to shift the transmit voltage level from microcontroller to RX of HC- 05 module.

Security ‘Tap your finger to turn on the lights when you get home so you worried about what's hiding in the shadows, or in your pathways. Or automate to turn on when you aren't home to look like you are to ward off potential robbers. Door locks are another automated home product that can increase your home security. 2. Energy Efficiency Increase your home's energy efficiency by remotely powering off systems and appliances when they aren'tin use. In addition to the standard home automation products that give you active control, some products actively monitor systems and arm the homeowner with knowledge, insight and guidance to achieve greater control and energy efficiency. 3. Savings Home automation literally pays off. When you are able to use home systems and appliances only when needed, the savings will be apparent in the first, utility bill. No more wasting money on lights left on when you aren't home, or ‘spending money on gas to drive home because you forgot to lock the door. Monetary savings are apparent, but you'll also be saving time. No wasted trips home, no running through the house turing everything off, no time spent worrying about what was or wasn't turned off. 4, Convenience Don't you hate having to rely on neighbors to watch your house when you're gone? With home automation, convenient control of your home is. at your fingertips. You don’t have to trust someone else with your most valued possessions. 5. Comfort Ever leave for workin the morning when it was a comfortable 68° outside only to come home to a sweltering house because the temperature shot up to 90°? Connected home products like the Sensi™ Wi-Fi Thermostats let you conveniently adjust your home temperature from the mobile app so your family is always comfortable. $$$ 16.Cons of Home Automation 1. Cost of Intelligence Installing state-of-the-art features ins: je a home results ina higher price tag for the property. The cost of an intelligent home that makes our lives convenient is high because some of the technology is relatively new, ‘The cost of living expenses such as utilities, maintenance and repair of the technology can be expensive as well 2. Technology Learning Curve Owning a smart home means having to learn how to use your home. Unlike traditional homes, smart home technology requires you to adapt to the innovations within your living area such as security systems, air units and a remote that controls your entire house. For the technology-savvy family, the smart home will help achieve convenience faster, but for others, it will take reading manuals and learning how-to before the benefits of convenience pay off. 3. Video Surveillance Video surveillance can be a wonderfull tool in hei ghtening security and deterring crime, but when the technology falls into the wrong hands, issues of privacy can occur. Security sensors within the doors and walls of a smart home use wireless technology to transfer signals to a central control unit that notifies emergency officials of any foreign activity. 7Applications % Using this project, we can turn on or off appliances remotely i.e. using a phone or tablet. > The project can be further expanded to a smart home automation system by including some sensors like light sensors, temperature sensors, safety sensors etc. and automatically adjust differ ent parameters like room lighting, air conditioning (room temperature), door locks etc. and transmit the information to our phone. » Additionally, we can connect to internet and control the home from remote location over internet and also monitor the safety. Future Development of the project } Arduino based device control using Bluetooth on Smartphone project can be enhanced to control the speed of the fan or volume of the buzzer etc. > Home automation and Device controlling can be done using Internet of Things — IOT technology. > We can replace Bluetooth by GSM modem so that we can achieve device controll sending SMS u: GSM modem, 2 a 18,Conclusion ‘The home automation system has been experimentally proven to work satisfactorily by connecting sample appliances to it and the appliances were successfully controlled from a wireless mobile device. We learned many skills such as soldering, wiring the circuit and other tools that we use for this project and was able to work together as a team during this project.
