GSM BASED HOME AUTOMATION USING ARDUINO

This paper presents the development of a GSM-based home automation system using Arduino, enhanced with a feedback mechanism to ensure accurate and reliable control of household appliances. The system allows users to remotely control devices such as lights, fans, and other electrical appliances through SMS commands sent via a GSM network. Upon receiving a command, the Arduino processes the input and actuates the corresponding device. The integration of a feedback system enables real-time monitoring and confirmation of the device's status, which is communicated back to the user through an SMS notification. This feature enhances user confidence by providing verification that the desired action has been successfully executed. This study presents the development of a global system for mobile communication (GSM) based home automation system. The Arduino Uno is programmed using the Arduino IDE software, to carry out operations according to the GSM commands and give a feedback of the system response. GSM SIM900 module is used as short message service gateway to switch ON or OFF the home appliances such as Fans, Fridge, Bulbs, Air-conditioner, Television set, Speakers, etc via Arduino Uno microcontroller. In variance to the wireless communication-based home automation that is prone to connectivity issues and limited coverage areas the GSM based home automation system using Arduino is ubiquitous, accessible and also allows the homeowner to gain full remote control of household appliances from any part of the world.
