RESULT AND OUTPUT

According to the proposed plan the final

outcome of this paper leads to the development of a
home automation. Through this project, an
automated system has been created so that we can
easily control home appliances like as light, fan,
AC, Water motor, Door lock, etc. One of the
objectives of this project is also to get us a smart
automation and low-cost project. Outside view is
shown in Fig. 6 and 7. This is the final design of
outside views. We also depict the circuit view of
this project in Fig. 8. This provides all connections Figure 8: Inner view and circuit showing.
and components. When power is supplied to
Arduino board, the room temperature and water
level are displayed on the LCD display. After
giving power supply (5V), at first connect the
Bluetooth module with android application. If we
want light turn on just press the “Light On” button
on the application then the light will turn on. It will
work another light and fan also by pressing another
button. If we want the door open or close, then
press “Door” button in the application. When the
room temperature will be greater than 38 degree
Celsius, then the fan speed will be high otherwise it
will be normal speed. Also, water motor on/off
automatically by define the range of water level in
tank. When the definitional level is crossed, then
water motor automatically turns on. In Fig. 9, it Figure 9: showing fan/light on, door open,
illustrates the temperature, Door open and light turn temperature and water level.
on.
CONCLUSION

How the home automation system will

work is represented in this paper. In the future, on
the new technology can be included which reduces
human effort, which is being researched. We made
a type of device which is compact in size, low cost,
more capacity, long life and more distant signal
receivers. This system which saves the electricity
and improve human life style.
