Abstract

This project purposes a model which can be used to control home appliances as that is the base for Home Automated System Appliance automation allows the user to control home appliances remotely. The use of Global Systems for Mobile Communication (GSM) modem to control home appliances such as light, fans and conditional systems via Short Message Service (SMS) text messages is discussed, analyzed and implemented in this project. The proposed project is focused on the benefits/advantages of the GSM protocol , which allows the user to control the desired home appliance while the user is away from his or her residence. The concept of serial communication has been applied towards development of the smart GSM based home automation system. Home owners will be able to receive alert messages of any home security issue in the home remotely from their mobile phones. The proposed system uses hardware which is designed and developed using Arduino with other required electronics components programmed using embedded C language. A microcontroller interfaced with a GSM provides the automation system was analyzed, implemented and tested.
