Arduino Smart Door Project Report
Arduino Smart Door Project Report
1. Introduction
With the rise in security concerns, traditional lock-and-key systems are becoming outdated.
A smart door enhances security using Arduino and modern authentication techniques such as RFID,
fingerprint recognition,
and IoT-based controls. This project demonstrates an automated smart door system with secure access
control and
real-time monitoring.
2. Objectives
3. Components Required
Hardware:
- Arduino Uno / Mega
- RFID Module (RC522) / Fingerprint Sensor
- Servo Motor (for locking mechanism)
- Keypad (4x4) (optional)
- Bluetooth Module (HC-05) (optional)
- Wi-Fi Module (ESP8266) (optional)
- LCD Display (16x2)
- Buzzer
- Power Supply (9V Adapter or Battery)
- Jumper Wires
Software:
- Arduino IDE
- MIT App Inventor (if using a mobile app)
- Blynk or Firebase (for IoT integration)
4. Working Principle
1. User Authentication:
- The system verifies the user through an RFID card, fingerprint, or PIN.
2. Door Unlocking:
- If authentication is successful, the servo motor unlocks the door.
- If authentication fails, the buzzer sounds an alert.
3. Remote Access (Optional):
- Using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, the door can be controlled via a mobile app.
4. Auto-Locking Feature:
- The door locks automatically after a specified time.
5. Intruder Alert (Optional):
- Unauthorized attempts trigger an alert notification.
5. Applications
6. Future Enhancements
7. Conclusion
The Arduino-based smart door system provides a cost-effective, secure, and automated access
control solution. With various authentication methods and remote access capabilities, it enhances security
for
residential and commercial spaces.
