I. ABSTRACT
This project presents a design and prototype implementation of new
home automation system that use Wi-Fi technology as a network
infrastructure connecting its parts. The proposed system consists of
two main components; the first part is the server (web server), which
presents system core that manages, controls, and monitors users’
home. Users and system administrator can locally (LAN) or remotely
(internet) manage and control system code. Second part is hardware
interface module which provides appropriate interface to sensors and
actuator of home automation system. Unlike most of available home
automation system in the market the proposed system is scalable that
one server can manage many hardware interface modules as long as it
exists on Wi-Fi network coverage. System supports a wide range of
home automation devices like power management components, and
security
components. The proposed system is better from the scalability and
flexibility point of view than the commercially available home
automation systems.
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Smart home automation is an upcoming technology that allows us to

control the homes or places with the help of device. Here we propose to use
smart home automation using Arduino and android application in order to
control home appliances, thus automating modern homes.
Smart home automation system is designed and implemented to assist and
provide support in order to fulfill the needs of elderly and disabled. The world is
moving fastly towards automation. People have less time to handle any work or
appliance and they sometimes in a hurry even forget to switch off lights and fans
manually so automation is a simple way to handle any device or machine and it
will work on our desire. We also developed an Arduino based home automation
system. Arduino is connected to the Bluetooth module which receives the
information from the user. Arduino also is connected to the relay, which
receives information from Arduino UNO and performs the operation. We used
HC-05 Bluetooth module. We control the system by mobile application through
this Bluetooth module.Here,we control light, fan. Automation is the most
frequently spelled term in the field of electronics. The controlling device for the
automation in the project is an Arduino UNO. The data sent from PC over Wi-Fi
will be received by Wi-Fi module connected to 9 Arduino UNO. Arduino UNO
reads the data and decides the switching action of electrical devices connected to
it through Relay. Automation is the most frequently spelled term in the field of
electronics. The hunger for automation brought many revolutions in the existing
technologies. These had greater importance than any other technologies due to
its user-friendly nature.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Review of Related Literature:
When people think about home automation, most of them may imagine living in
a smart home: One remote controller for every household appliance, cooking the
rice automatically, starting air conditioner automatically, heating water for bath
automatically and shading the window automatically when night coming. To
some extent home automation equals to smart home. They both bring out smart
living condition and make our life more convenient and faster.
2.2 Review of Studies:

In their paper, Tan, Lee and So (2002) proposed the development of an
Internet-based system to allow monitoring of important process variables from a
distributed control system (DCS). This paper proposes hardware and software
design considerations which enable the user to access the process variables on
the DCS, remotely and effectively.
Potamitis, Georgia, Fakelakis, and Kokkinakis, G. (2003) suggested the use of

speech to interact remotely with the home appliances to perform a particular
action on behalf of the user. The approach is inclined for people with disability
to perform real-life operations at home by directing appliances through speech.
Voice separation strategy is selected to take appropriate decision by speech
recognition
In the year 2006, S. M. Anamul Haque,S. M. Kamruzzaman and Md. Ashraful

Islam proposed a system entitled “A System for Smart-Home Control of

Appliances Based on Time and Speech Interaction” that controls the home
appliances using the personal computer. This system is developed by using the
Visual Basic 6.0 as programming language and Microsoft voice engine tools for
speech recognition purpose. Appliances can be either controlled by timer or by
voice command. 14 Ciubotaru-Petrescu, Chiciudean, Cioarga, and Stanescu
(2006) present a design and implementation of SMS based control for
monitoring systems. The paper has three modules involving sensing unit for
monitoring the complex applications. A processing unit, that is microcontroller
and a communication module that uses GPRS modem or cell phone via serial
port RS-232. The SMS is used for status reporting such as power failure.
Jawarkar, Ahmed, Ladhake, and Thakare (2008) propose remote monitoring

through mobile phone involving the use of spoken commands. The spoken
commands are generated and sent in the form of text SMS to the control system
and then the microcontroller on the basis of SMS takes a decision of a particular
task.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY
3.1 BLOCK DIAGRAM
Fig 1. Block Diagram of Smart Home Automation using Arduino and Android
Application
3.1.1 Working of block diagram:
1. Android Device (Android application): - The use of Wi-Fi-connected

tablets, smartphones and mobile devices is starting to generate explosive growth
in industrial automation and process control. Integration of mobile technology
is changing the landscape rapidly because it reduces costs, improves operating
efficiency, boosts productivity and increases throughput using existing people
and resources.
2. HC-05 Bluetooth module: - It is very easy to pair the HC-05 module with
microcontrollers because it operates using the Serial Port Protocol (SPP).
Simply power the module with +5V and connect the Rx pin of the module to the
Tx of MCU and Tx pin of module to Rx of MC

3.Arduino: - Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control
more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source
physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a
development environment for writing software for the board. Arduino can be
used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or
sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs.
Arduino projects can be stand-alone, or they can communicate with software
running on your computer (e.g., Flash, Processing.)
4.2 channel relay: - This is a 5V, 10A 2-Channel Relay interface board. It can
be used to control various appliances, and other equipment's with large current.
It can be controlled directly with 3.3V or 5V logic signals from a
microcontroller (Arduino, 8051, AVR, PIC, DSP, ARM, ARM, MSP430, TTL
logic).

3.2 Circuit diagram
Fig 2:- Circuit diagram
3.2.1 Working of Circuit Diagram: -
 VCC and GND pin of the Bluetooth module is connected to the 5V and
GND pin of Arduino respectively. The TX pin of Bluetooth is connected
to the RX pin of Arduino and the RX pin of Bluetooth is connected to the
TX pin of Arduino. The rest of the pins of the Bluetooth module are
remained open.
 VCC and GND of the relay module are connected to the 5V and GND pin
of Arduino respectively. IN1 and IN2 pin of the relay is connected to D6
and D5 pin of the Arduino respectively.

 Now connections for the light and fan. We are taking light and fan which
are operated in 220 to 230V. So, one wire (preferably -Ve or neutral wire)
of the power supply is connected to the light and the other wire
(preferably +Ve or phase) is cut and one end is connected to the common
pin of a relay and the other end is connected to NO (Normally Opened)
pin of the relay. The same is done for the fan keeping it parallel with light.

3.3 HC-05 Bluetooth module
Fig 3:- HC -05 Bluetooth module
3.3.1Where to use HC-05 Bluetooth module
The HC-05 is a popular module which can add two-way (full-duplex)

wireless functionality to your projects. You can use this module to
communicate between two microcontrollers like Arduino or communicate
with any device with Bluetooth functionality like a Phone or Laptop. There
are many android applications that are already available which makes this
process a lot easier. The module communicates with the help of USART at
9600 baud rates hence it is easy to interface with any microcontroller that
supports USART. We can also configure the default values of the module by
using the command mode. So, if you looking for a Wireless module that could
transfer data from your computer or mobile phone to microcontroller or vice
versa then this module might be the right choice for you. However, do not
expect this module to transfer multimedia like photos or songs; you might
have to look into the CSR8645 module for that

Fig 5: diagram of 2 (Two) channel relay
This is a 5V, 10A 2-Channel Relay interface board. It can be used to control
various appliances, and other equipment's with large current. It can be controlled
directly with 3.3V or 5V logic signals from a microcontroller (Arduino, 8051,
AVR, PIC, DSP, ARM, ARM, MSP430, TTL logic).
It has a 1x4 (2.54mm pitch) pin header for connecting power (5V and 0V), and
for controlling the 2 relays.

The pins are marked on the PCB: -

 GND - Connect 0V to this pin.
 IN1 - Controls relay 1, active Low Relay will turn on when this input goes
below about 2.0V
 IN2 - Controls relay 2, active Low Relay will turn on when this input goes
below about 2.0V
 VCC - Connect 5V to this pin. Is used to power the opto couplers

Fig 6:- flow chart
We have to first initialize the Bluetooth module and then we have to

checkwhether the Bluetooth is connected or not. And then when the input is
given to the light as seen in the flow chart the light will turn on and turn off and
the same goes for the fan as seen in the figure above.

provide additional services such as remote surveillance of security cameras
over the Internet, or access control and central locking of all perimeter doors
and windows.
5. Home automation for the elderly and disabled.

CHAPTER 10
Conclusion
While wearing down this endeavor we have grabbed a lot of finding out about
various modules being used in this errand. We are glad we can Built this Project
as apart in this endeavor and set up new musings. We believe the assignment
completes as needed and the data grabbed in the midst of this period will be
used in our future corporate life. Additionally, we might want to include that
home computerization is the fate of places of new world. Home automation is a
resource which can make home environment Automated. People can control
their electrical devices via. Smartphone These home automation devices and set-
up controlling action through mobile. In future these products may have high
potential for marketing.

CHAPTER 11
Future scope
1) The going with stage for home robotization advertise will happen subject to a
couple of key overhauls in the progression open in Automation, for example,
improvement in Wireless Automation blueprints and moreover bringing down of
regard appears as the market starts perceive home mechanization use in more
noteworthy volumes. A couple of examples that we foresee for this time of the
business are,
2) Big associations like Philips, Siemens and Schneider will as time go on bring
out truly mass-market mechanization things with interfacing with UI in any case
at lower esteem point as contrast with today, and more people will be able to
bear the cost of the things.
3) Solution commitments will bit by bit move to an all the more straightforward
structure, where next to two or three key parts, customers will have the ability to
buy and use the Automation things themselves without the guide of any specific
ace.
4) Future Scope for the home automation system involves making homes even
smarter. If, this is actually implemented everywhere in the future like classroom,
labs of the respective colleges etc. There will be a huge saving of electricity and
that is all we need is “TO SAVE ELECTRICITY’’.
5) More energy can be conserved by ensuring occupation of the house before
turning on devices and checking the brightness and turning off the light if not
necessary.
6) The system can be integrated closely with the home security solutions
enhancing the safety for home owners.
