INTRODUCTION

In our Current era, Home automation is become more beneficial because of its safety and security.
Nowadays, home automation became more advance and precise to operate all the home
appliances.

Home automation systembecomeenergyefficientandhighlyapproachablesmarthometechnique. It

involves basic features to maintain the user satisfaction and comfort. This proposed system is a
precise combination of Android smart phone and embeddedsystemwhichinclude NodeMCU,Wi-
Fimodule,Bluetoothmodule and Relay circuit.

In this paper, we used a wireless technology to operate the

device.Anandroidapplicationisinstalledinamobiledevicei.e.androidsmart phone and it has inbuilt

 LITERATURERE VIEW

• R.Piyarereferstowirelesslifestylewhichgivesusrelieffrom“cablechaos”. To
control the electronic appliances through the mobile phone and Arduino is
more efficient than the using of electric switches because it makes the
system cost effective and long lasting to use.

• An automated home can be a very simple grouping of controls, or it can be

heavilyautomatedwhereanyappliancethatis plugged into electrical power is
remotely controlled. Costs mainly include equipment, components,
furniture, and custom installation.

• Home automation is designed to introduce convenience and efficiency to a

home. People living with physical handicaps may rely on the features of a
home automation system to accomplish tasks that might otherwise be
difficult or impossible.

• Most of the automation works using the online but in this project it can be
used offline as well.

• In Bluetooth based home automation system the home appliances are

connected to the Arduino BT board at input output ports using relay. The
program of Arduino BT board is based on high level interactive C language
of microcontrollers; the connection is made via Bluetooth. The password
protection is provided so only authorized user is allowed to access the
appliances. The Bluetooth connection is established between Arduino BT
board and phone for wireless communication

 HOME AUTOMATION

Automation is the process of automatically performing everyday functions around the home to
save you time ,energy, money and at the same time offering improved security.

The automation is performed by a central controller. This can be either a

standalone unit or a piece of software on a PC. Both options have their
advantages.

FUNCTIONS

Sendsignalstoswitchlightsandappliancesonoroff.Openandclosecontacts to
operate high and low voltage devices. Schedule and initiate events, such as
watering the garden Issue and accept infra-red commands Interface with other
systems, i.e. X 10, telephone, computer, heating etc.

Home automation is anything that gives you remote or automatic control of

things in & around the home. The systems that you can control include:
Lighting, Appliances, Heating and cooling, Security and monitoring systems,
Entertainment (home audio and video), Communications (telephones and
intercoms, internet), Lawn sprinklers, Curtain movements, Pool filter pump,
Spah eater ,Filtration unit, Gate/garage door motor, Shade motor control, Roof
sprinklers, Electric strikes, Keyless entry etc.
This central controller can be accessed and controlled through interfaces like
keypad, wired or wireless touch-screens (with/without video), universal
remotes, mobile devices. Home automation provides a more convenient &
elegant atmosphere for the family to compliment and match the lifestyle.
Everyone in the family experiences the comfort of automation with added
convenience through integrated control scheduled common life style

performed every day. An automated home can provide security, temperature,
lighting, and audio control for comfort, convenience, and safety. It creates
reliable and coordinated controls to operate home devices automatically for
simplifying operations.

Home automation saves your time and effort by controlling you home for
performing routine functions such as watering your grass, or
turningoffalllights,settingthethermostattoeconomymode,controlscheduled
appliances operation and arming the security system when you retire for the
night.

Home automation provides you with the comfort of whole home audio/video
integration so that any source could be placed anywhere in a home and still be
enjoyed everywhere in a home.

Home automation provides you pro-active home security so that you can look
in on your home remotely from anywhere in the world, or that your home will
phone you if it finds anything integrates your alarm system with other home
systems for a response to intrusion that meets your needs of enhanced Safety.

The term 'home automation' is now acknowledged as covering most I.T.,

automation, communication and wiring aspects of our homes. Most of these
functions can be installed independently of each other, but the real benefits of
theautomatedhomearerealizedwhenthesedifferentaspectscommunicatewith each
other. For example, having two PC’s networked together in the home, giving
both users access to the internet may seem like the forefront of technology, but
imagine if they were tied into our house wiring and could turn light sand app
liance son and off automatically when weare a way from home,

even via the internet. Imagine that the PC was networked into our security
system and could display images from our home security cameras onto our
computer screen at work. Imagine that your security system was tied into your
telephoneandcouldringyourmobileintheeventofaburglary,youcouldeven talk to
visitors to your door from anywhere in the world.

OBJECTIVESOFHOMEAUTOMATION

Home Automation Saves Money by lowering your monthly utility bills

with theremote & schedule controlo flights,appliances,sprinklersand your

air conditioning

1. Neverwalk into adarkhomeagain.

2. Have the porch light automatically turn on when you open the front
doorafterdark.Lightingand audiocontrolscan make a vacant home
look and sound occupied.
3. You could set your Omni home control system to automatically call
youatworkwhenyourchildcomeshomefromschoolandkeysinhis
security code into the security system.
4. Call your home control system over the phone to make changes to
your system.
5. LogintoyourhomecontrolsystemovertheInternetviaSnap-Linkor we
blink II and change your temperature settings.
6. Set the temperature setting on your Omni state to automatically turn
up when the security system is armed in the morning. It is then
automatically turned down one-half hour before you normally get
home in order for you to arrive home to a comfortable house.

5
 7. If you are leaving early from work, you can call into your home
control system to manually set the temperature to where you want it
to be when you get home.

THEREALBENEFITSOFHOMEAUTOMATION

Mostcontrollerswillofferalloftheaboveplusmore.Whenyouusecontrollers
connected in the appropriate fashion, you can realize all sorts of benefits,
limited primarily by your imagination.

Forexample:-

When on holiday or working late, have the lights come on automatically and
draw the curtains. Set room moods, i.e. one button push to switch off the main
light, dim the perimeter lights and switch the surround sound system on ready
to play a movie.
At dusk, check that the garage door is closed. Switch on the electric blanket
whilst you're sitting on your sofa. The controller can be either standalone or
combined into a security system to give additional benefits.

BASICIDEA

Basic idea of Smart Home automation using Cloud services is controlling the
home appliances remotely over the internet.

Homes of the 21st century will become more and more self-controlled and
automatedduetothecomfortitprovides,especiallywhenemployedinaprivate
home.Ahomeautomationsystemisameansthatallowuserstocontrolelectric
appliances of varying kind.

Many existing, well-established home automation systems are based on wired

communication. This does not pose a problem until the system is planned well
in advance and installed during the physical construction of the building. But
for already existing buildings the implementation cost goes very high. In
contrast, Wireless systems can be of great help for automation systems. With
theadvancementofwirelesstechnologiessuchasWi-Fi,cloudnetworksinthe recent
past, wireless systems are used every day and everywhere.

We will present a Smart Home System (SHS) using ARDUINO UNO

ATMEGA328 that employs the integration of cloud networking, wireless
communication,energymonitoring,orweatherstations,capturingthephotoof a
person moving around the house and storing it onto the cloud.SHS is to

within their home and storing the data in the cloud. The system will
automatically change on the basis of sensors’ data. This system is designed to
be low cost and expandable allowing a variety of devices to be controlled

CLOUD:

Home automation systems face four main challenges, these are high cost of
ownership, inflexibility, poor manageability, and difficulty in achieving
security.Themainobjectivesofthisresearchistodesignandimplementahome
automationsystemusingIoTthatiscapableofcontrollingandautomatingmost of
the house appliances through an easy manageable web interface. The proposed
system has a great flexibility by using Wi-Fi technology to interconnect its
distributed sensors to home automation server. This will decrease the
deployment cost and will increase the ability of upgrading, and system
reconfiguration.

CONCLUSIONS:

This project is developed to make a smart home automation system using

microcontroller, Bluetooth module. Their main requirements was: a system that
could be operated using by an app, voice control to operate the appliances from
anywhere. The differently-abled, old peoples will be the most beneficiary of this
systemastheycanoperatetheappliancesindependently.ThesystemrequiresaWi- Fi or
an internet connection to function and in the absence of internet connection,
Bluetooth connection is been used to function the operation efficiently. So, we
proposedthissystemwhichtobehighlyenergysavingandreliableandmakepeople feel
more comfortable and satisfied. Now everyone can utilize this technology to
operate the appliances. The home automation system has been experimentally
proven to work satisfied by connecting sample appliances to it and the application
weresuccessfullycontrolledfromawirelessmobiledevice.Welearnedmanyskills such
as soldering wiring the circuit and other tools that we use for this project and was
able to work together as a team during this project. The Bluetooth client was
successfully tested on a multitude of different mobile phones from different
manufacturers, thus proving its portability and wide compatibly. Thus a low- cost
home automation system was successfully designed. Implement and tested.

Daybyday,thefieldofautomationisbloomingandthesesystemsarehaving great
impact on human beings. The project which is to be implemented is a home
automation using Easy IOT Webserver and WIFI and has very good future
development. In the current system webserver is installed on a windows PC so the
home appliances can be controlled using only by using the device on which
webserverisinstalled.Thiscanbefurtherdevelopedinstallingwebserveroncloud.
Advantage of installing webserver on the cloud is that home can be controlled by
using any device which has an internet connection and a web browser. By visiting
the IP address of the cloud the control actions can be taken.
