Project Proposal: Microprocessor and Microcontrollers

This project proposal summarizes a home automation system using an Arduino, Bluetooth module, and smartphone. The system allows controlling 4 electrical appliances remotely via a Bluetooth connection between an Android phone and an Arduino board. The Arduino reads input from the Bluetooth module and uses it to operate 4 relays and control the appliances. Pushing buttons on a Bluetooth controller app will turn the appliances on and off or activate all devices at once. Potential applications include smart home automation and remote monitoring over the internet.

Arduino Based Home Automation Project
via Bluetooth
We are living in 21 st century where automation of any form i.e. home or
industrial plays an important role in human life. When it comes to industrial automation, the
concept is applied to large machines or robots which helps in increasing the efficiency in terms
of production, energy and time.

In this project, we will design a home automation project using simple components using which
different electrical appliances can switched on or off. The project is based on Arduino and we
have used Arduino UNO for the project.

Circuit Diagram:

Components
The list of components mentioned here are specifically for controlling 4 different loads.

 Arduino UNO
 HC – 05 Bluetooth Module
 10 KΩ Resistor
 20 KΩ Resistor
 1 KΩ Resistor X 4
 2N2222 NPN Transistor X 4
 1N4007 Diode X 4
 12 V Relay X 4
 Prototyping board (Bread board)
 Connecting wires
 12 V Power supply
 Smartphone or tablet (Bluetooth enabled)

Component Description
Arduino UNO:

The 8 – bit ATmega 328P microcontroller based Arduino UNO is used in the project to control
different components like Bluetooth module and relay network.

Bluetooth Module:

The Bluetooth Module used in this project is HC- 05. As seen in the image below, this Bluetooth
module has 4 – pins for VCC (5V), ground, TX and RX. This Bluetooth can be used with
Bluetooth enabled phone (or tablet or laptop) and the range of this module is approximately 10
meters.

4 – Channel Relay Board:

A 4 – channel relay board is used in this project to control four different loads. It has all the
necessary components and connections like base current limiting resistor, flyback diode, LED
indicators and header for connecting it to other devices.
Working Process

A simple home automation project using Arduino UNO, Bluetooth module and a smartphone.
The aim of this project is to control different home appliances using a smartphone. The working
of the project is explained here.

When the power is turned on, the connection LED on the Bluetooth module starts blinking. We
need to start the “Bluetooth Controller” app in our smartphone and get connected to the
Bluetooth module. If the pairing is successful, the LED becomes stable.

Now, in the app, we need to set different keys for different loads and their corresponding value
that must be transmitted when that key is pressed. The following image shows a set of keys to
control 4 loads and an additional key to turn off all the loads.

Applications:
 Using this project, we can turn on or off appliances remotely i.e. using a phone or tablet.
 The project can be further expanded to a smart home automation system by including
some sensors like light sensors, temperature sensors, safety sensors etc. and automatically
adjust different parameters like room lighting, air conditioning (room temperature), door
locks etc. and transmit the information to our phone.
 Additionally, we can connect to internet and control the home from remote location over
internet and also monitor the safety.

Limitations
 The system needs a continuous power supply to be practical or else we might not be able
to control the appliances.
 Hence, best way to design the system efficiently would be to implement both the
automated control and manual control through switches at a time.
Code for Ardunio
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

const int rxPin = 4;

const int txPin = 2;

SoftwareSerial mySerial(rxPin, txPin);

const int Loads[] = {9, 10, 11, 12};

int state = 0;

int flag = 0;

void setup()

for (int i=0;i<4;i++)

pinMode(Loads[i], OUTPUT);

}
mySerial.begin(9600);

for (int i=0;i<4;i++)

digitalWrite(Loads[i], LOW);

void loop()

if(mySerial.available() > 0)

state = mySerial.read();

flag=0;

switch(state)

case '0':digitalWrite(Loads[0], HIGH);

flag=1;

break;

case '1':digitalWrite(Loads[0], LOW);

flag=1;
break;

case '2':digitalWrite(Loads[1], HIGH);

flag=1;

break;

case '3':digitalWrite(Loads[1], LOW);

flag=1;

case '4':digitalWrite(Loads[2], HIGH);

flag=1;

case '5':digitalWrite(Loads[2], LOW);

flag=1;

case '6':digitalWrite(Loads[3], HIGH);

flag=1;

case '7':digitalWrite(Loads[3], LOW);

flag=1;

break;

case '8':digitalWrite(Loads[0], LOW);

digitalWrite(Loads[1], LOW);

digitalWrite(Loads[2], LOW);

digitalWrite(Loads[3], LOW);

flag=1;
