REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
The purpose of this literature review is to provide the reader with the
general overview of the study. This chapter presents related literature after the
thorough search done by the researchers.
HOME AUTOMATION
According to Yalagi et al. (2016) Home automation also known as smart
home can make the domestic activities convenient, comfortable and
economical. Home automation mainly consist of User Interface (a device that
can be the remote control of the system), Mode of transmission (can be wired or
wireless such as Ethernet cable, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth), Central Controller (a
hardware that is used to communicate with user interface).
It was mentioned by Shiravastava (2018) that in the year 2014, 1.5 million
home automation systems were installed in the US, and there is a large uptake
that could be seen in the shipping, topping over 8 million in 2017. Then Cisco
CEO John Chambers predicts that by 2020, the worth of the market will be 19
trillion dollars.
A study conducted by Patel, P., Patel, M., Panchal & Nirmal, 2016
presented a low cost and user friendly smart home system, which uses an
Android application to communicate and provides switching functionalities by
eliminating the use of Personal Computer and other computer peripherals
which leads to a cost reduction in the system. Switches of Electronic
appliances are integrated to the system to show the effectiveness and feasibility
of the system
Following, in the study of Kaur, Singh, Neha& Jain, 2016 shows detailed
information on Home Automation and Security System using Arduino, GSM
and how we can control home appliances using Android application from
Smartphones. On the LCD screen the count of persons inside the house would
be displayed. In Home Automation mode when the room will become empty the
count of person reduces to zero then the appliances will automatically turns off

making the system power efficient. Moreover, a person can control his home
appliances by using an android application.
BLUETOOTH RANGE
Bluetooth technology operates globally with an available frequency of 2.4
GHz, that can link digital devices within a range of 10mto 100m at the speed of
up to 3Mbps depending on the Bluetooth device class. (“Bluetooth Technology
Range,”n.d.)
