HomeAutomation

Abstract

Today we are living in the twenty first century where automation is playing important role in human life. Home automation allows us to control household appliance like light, door, fan, Ac…etc. and to protect the home appliance from over and under voltage .Home automation not only refer to reduce human efforts but also energy efficiency and time saving. The main objective of home automation is to help handicapped and old aged people which will enable them to control home appliances. The system has four components: anautomatic voltage regulator (AVR) for over and under voltage protection, Arduino microcontroller for connecting the appliances, a Bluetooth module for signal transfer, and a smartphone running the Android application. The project focuses on the features and design of the proposed system. The design is based on a standalone Arduino-Uno boardit is power supply is connected through the AVR and the home appliances are connected to this Arduino-Unoboard using relays. The smartphone interacts with the Arduino via Bluetooth. The main aim of the system development is to be low cost and scalable according to the requirements. Password protection is being used for authentication
