Home Automation
Why we need it..?

Forgetting to switch off devices

while leaving home.
Needs arising to operate devices
while we are not able to access
them physically.

Implementation

Devices are connected to an

embedded system.

The embedded system is

programmed to control the
devices according to commands
from a remote.

Basic Working

User

sends commands via SMS

Mobile

at the system transfers it to Micro

controller

The

Microcontroller operates the Devices

according to the command received.

Motivation

The motivation is to facilitatethe userstoautomate their

homeshaving ubiquitous access. Thesystem provides availability
due to development of alow cost system.The home appliances
con-trol system with anaffordablecost was thought to be built
thatshould be mobile providing re-mote access to the
appliancesand allowing home security.

Problem definition

One of the limitations about this is non availability of

power because the power system makes use of power
supply from Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN).
Though this is a major problem but with thought about
alternative source of power, it is a problem that will soon
be a by-gone. Also another limitation noticed in the above
work is the failure of network or busy network which will
make the phone embedded in the system not to be
available when called.

Objectives

To co-ordinate appliances and other devices through

Short Message Service(SMS).

To effectively receive and transmit data via SMS

To eliminate the need of being physically present in

any location for tasks involving the operation of
appliances within a household/office.

Minimize power and time wastage

Scope

The scope of our project GSM Based control system is

immense.

The future implications of the project are very great considering

the amount of time and resources it saves. The project we have
undertaken can be used as a reference or as a base for realizing
a scheme to be implemented in other projects of greater level
such as weather forecasting, temperature updates, device
synchronization, etc. The project itself can be modified to achieve
a complete Home Automation system which will then create a
platform for the user to interface between himself and the
household

Pros & cons

Pros

Global Range

Low Cost

Low Power Requirement

Cons

Delays in mobile networks

Need of a mobile phone entirely

dedicated for the system

Expected outcome

A single M2M controller module that can perform the following:

a.

Receive instructions and commands from a messaging device

b.

Monitor a device status from an electronic interface

c.

Control target devices through an electrical interface

A list of approved message input commands that the device is

capable
of executing

Conclusion

In this era when the number of mobile phone users

growing at a highrate,this system makes use of the
mobile networks to provide the users with a simple
and cheap Home Automation System.
