COMPLETE HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM USING

ANDROID SMART PHONE

The project aims to control the devices in a home by using

android smart phone.
An embedded system is a combination of computer circuitry and
software that is built into a product for purposes such as control, monitoring
and communication without human intervention. Embedded systems are at
the core of every modern electronic product, ranging from toys to medical
equipment to aircraft control systems. Embedded systems span all aspects of
modern life and there are many examples of their use. The uses of embedded
systems are virtually limitless, because every day new products are
introduced to the market that utilizes embedded system in novel ways.

An embedded system contains at least one microprocessor which

performs the logic operations for the system. Many embedded systems use
one or more microcontrollers, which are a type of microprocessor that
emphasizes self-sufficiency and cost-effectiveness, instead of a general-
purpose microprocessor. A typical microcontroller contains sufficient
memory and interfaces for simple applications, whereas general-purpose
microprocessors require additional chips to provide these functions,
including at least one ROM (read-only memory) chip to store the software.

Project uses Microchip’s microcontroller IC named Peripheral

Interface Controller (PIC) and Microchip’s ‘Integrated Development
Environment’, MPLAB, to simulate and assemble the written code.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Project is designed with microcontroller, relay, GSM and

android smart phone.

Home automation is the residential extension of building

automation. It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.
Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC
(heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates
and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort,
energy efficiency and security. Home automation for the elderly and
disabled can provide increased quality of life for persons who might
otherwise require caregivers or institutional care.

In this system the devices in home is controlled (ON/OFF) by

a android smart phone
