Project Title

Globally home Automation system using WiFi and bluetooth technology

Project Area of Specialization Information & Communication TechnologyProject Summary

Home automation also known as demotic is on among the different types of automations.

Home automation refers to the use of computer and information technology to control home

appliances and features (such as blinds lighting ventilation and many others) system can range from

simple remote control of lighting through to complex computer or micro controller based network

with verying degrees of intelligence and automation through the integration of information

technologies with the home enviroments system and appliances are able to communicate in an

integrated manners which results in convence energy effiency and safty benifits

Project Objectives

This project is one of the important Arduino Projects. Arduino based home automation using

Wi-Fi project helps the user to control any electronic device using Device Control app

on their Android Smartphone. The android app sends commands to the controller –

Arduino, through wireless communication, namely, Wi-Fi. The Arduino is connected to

the main PCB which has eight relays as shown in the block diagram. These relays can

be connected to different electronic devices. There are seven different operations in this

project four on the Android Application (GUI) & three are automatically

Aim of project: Aim of project: The aim of the project is to design and construct a home

automation system that will remotely switch ON or OFF any household appliances

connected to it, using a microcontroller, & a smart phone.

Applications: i. Using this project, we can turn on or off appliances remotely i.e. using a

phone or tablet.

ii. The project can be further expanded to a smart home automation system by including some

sensors, safety sensors etc. and automatically adjust different parameters like room

lighting, air conditioning (room temperature), door locks etc. and transmit the

information to our phone.

iii. Additionally, we can connect to internet and control the home from remote location over 

Project Implementation Method

The main objective of this project is to develop a smart home automation system using an

Arduino board with Wi-Fi being remotely controlled by 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 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 Wi-Fi module is interfaced to the Arduino board at the receiver end

while on the transmitter, a GUI application on 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 

Benefits of the Project

makes it difficult for the user to go near them to operate. Even more it becomes more difficult
