Abstract

The main objective of this project is to develop a home

automation system using anArduino 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.

Introduction

Nowadays, we have remote controls for our television sets

and other electronic systems,which have made our lives
real easy. Have you ever wondered about home
automation which would give the facility of controlling
tube lights, fans and other electrical appliances at home
using a remote control? Off-course, Yes! But, are the
available options cost-effective? If the answer is No, we
have founda
solution to it. We have come up with a new system called
Arduino based home automation using Bluetooth. This
system is super-cost effective and can give the user, the
ability to control any electronic device without even
spending fora
remote control. This project helps the user to control all the
electronic devices using his/hersmartphone.
Time is a very valuable thing. Everybody wants to save
time as much as they can. New technologies are being
introduced to save our time. To save people’s time we are
introducing HomeAutomation system using Bluetooth .
With the help of this system you can control your home
appliances from yourmobile.

Description of Hardware Required

Arduino uno

TheArduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the

ATmega328P . It has 14 digital input/output pins (of
which 6 can be used as PWM outputs),
6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB
connection,a powerjack, an ICSP header, and a reset
button.It contains everything needed to support the
microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a
USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or
battery to get started.

The Uno differs from all preceding boards in that it does not
use the FTDI USB-to- serial driver chip. Instead, it features
the Atmega8U2 programmed as a USB-to- serial
converter.

HC-05 Bluetooth Module
HC-05 module is an easy to use Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port
Protocol) module, designed for transparent wireless serial
connection setup.
Serial port Bluetooth module is fully qualified Bluetooth
V2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) 3Mbps Modulation
with complete 2.4GHz radio transceiver and baseband. It
uses CSR Bluecore 04-External single chip Bluetooth
system with CMOS technology and with AFH(Adaptive
FrequencyHoppingFeature).It hasthe footprint as small
as 12.7mmx27mm. Hope it will simplify your overall
design/development cycle.

HC-05 Bluetooth Module Interfacing
with Arduino UNO

HC-05 is a Bluetooth device used for wireless

communication with Bluetooth enabled devices (like
smartphone). It communicates with microcontrollers using
serial communication (USART).

Default settings of HC-05 Bluetooth module can be

changed using certain ATcommands.

As HC-05 Bluetooth module has 3.3 V level for RX/TX

and microcontroller can detect 3.3 V level, so, there is no
need to shift TX voltage level of HC-05 module. But we
need to shift the transmit voltage level from
microcontroller to RX of HC- 05 module.

Designing the Circuit

15
Technical Specification for this project

1)Asmartphone or anAndroid mobile which should have

the android app installed init.
Bluetooth receiver module – Our project will be connected
to the smartphone using Bluetoothtechnology.
Controller or the main processing circuit- In this project,
Arduino Uno is the main controlling / processing unit.
Also, this project can be developed using PIC18F4550,
AVR ATmega32 and 8051 series like: 89s51, 89c51, 89s52,
89v51RD2.

Pros of Home Automation

Security - Tap your finger to turn on the lights when

you get home so you worried about what’s hiding in the
shadows, or in your pathways. Or automate to turn on
when you aren’t home to look like you are to ward off
potential robbers. Door locks are another automated
home product that can increase your home security.
Energy Efficiency - Increase your home’s energy
efficiency by remotely powering off systems and
appliances when they aren’t in use. In addition to the
standard home automation products that give you
active control, some products actively monitor systems
and arm the homeowner with knowledge, insight and
guidance to achieve greater control and energy
efficiency.
Savings - Home automation literally pays off. When
you are able to use home systems and appliances only
when needed, the savings will be apparent in the first
utility bill. No more wasting money on lights left on
when you aren’t home, or spending money on gas to
drive home because you forgot to lock the door.
Monetary savings are apparent, but you’ll also be
saving time.

18
Convenience
Don’t you hate having to rely on neighbors to watch
your house when you’re gone? With home
automation, convenient control of your home is at
your fingertips. You don’t have to trust someone else
with your most valued possessions.

Comfort
Ever leave for work in the morning when it was a
comfortable 68° outside only to come home to a
sweltering house because the temperature shot up to
90°? Connected home products like the Sensi™ Wi-Fi
Thermostats let you conveniently adjust your home
temperature from the mobile app so your family is
always comfortable.

19
Cons of Home Automation

Cost of Intelligence
Installing state-of-the-art features inside a home
results in a higher price tag for the property. The cost
of an intelligent home that makes our lives convenient
is high because some of the technology is relatively
new. The cost of living expenses such as utilities,
maintenance and repair of the technology can be
expensive as well.
Technology Learning Curve
Owning a smart home means having to learn how to
use your home.

Unlike traditional homes, smart home technology

requires you to adapt to the innovations within your
living area such as security systems, air units and a
remote that controls your entire house. For the
technology-savvy family, the smart home will help
achieve convenience faster, but for others, it will take
reading manuals and learning how-to before the
benefits of convenience pay off.

20
Video Surveillance
Video surveillance can be a wonderful tool in
heightening security and deterring crime, but when the
technology falls into the wrong hands, issues of
privacy can occur. Security sensors within the doors
and walls of a smart home use wireless technology to
transfer signals to a central control unit that notifies
emergency officials of any foreign activity.

21
Applications

Using this project, we can turn on or off appliances

remotely i.e. using a phone or tablet.

The project can be further expanded to a smart home

automation system by including some sensors like light
sensors, temperature 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.

Additionally, we can connect to internet and control the

home from remote location over internet and also
monitor the safety.

22
Future Development of the project

Arduino based device control using Bluetooth on

Smartphone project can be enhanced to control the speed
of the fan or volume of the buzzer etc.

Home automation and Device controlling can be done

using Internet of Things – IOT technology.

We can replace Bluetooth by GSM modem so that we can

achieve device controlling by sending SMS using GSM
modem

23
Conclusion

The home automation system has been experimentally

proven to work satisfactorily by connecting sample
appliances to it and the appliances were successfully
controlled from a wireless mobile device.
We learned many skills such as soldering, wiring the
circuit
and other tools that we use for this project and was able to
work together as a team during this project.

The Bluetooth client was successfully tested on a

multitude of different mobile phones from different
manufacturers, thus proving its portability and wide
compatibility. Thus a low-cost home automation system
was successfully designed, implemented and tested.
