| dc.description.abstract | The main objective of this project is to develop a home automation system using an
Arduino board with Bluetooth being remotely controlled by any Android OS smart phone.
As technology is advancing so houses are also getting smarter. Modern houses are
gradually shifting from conventional switches to centralized control system, involving
remote controlled switches. Presently, conventional wall switches located in different parts
of the house makes it difficult for the user to go near them to operate. Even more it becomes
more difficult for the elderly or physically handicapped people to do so. Remote controlled
home automation system provides a most modern solution with smart phones. In order to
achieve this, a Bluetooth module is interfaced to the Arduino board at the receiver end
while on the transmitter end, a GUI application on the cell phone sends ON/OFF
commands to the receiver where loads are connected. By touching the specified location
on the GUI, the loads can be turned ON/OFF remotely through this technology. The loads
are operated by Arduino board through opto- isolators and thyristors using trials. | en_US |
