Abstract:
This research presents the development of GSM-based control home appliances
for smart home system. The main aim of the prototype development is to reduce
electricity wastage. GSM module was used for receiving short message service
(SMS) from user’s mobile phone that automatically enable the controller to take
any further action such as to switch ON and OFF the home appliances such as
light, air-conditioner etc. The system was integrated with microcontroller and
GSM network interface using assembly language. software was utilized to
accomplish the integration. The system is activated when user sends the SMS to
controller at home. Upon receiving the SMS command, the microcontroller unit
then automatically controls the electrical home appliances by switching ON or
OFF the device according to the user order. In other word, it read message from
the mobile phone and response to control the devices according to the received
message. The prototype has been successfully developed and it could provide an
effective mechanism in utilizing the energy source efficiently.
