Abstract
This work aims to develop home automation systems based on Arduino. These devices can be
controlled through the applications of Bluetooth Android-based smart phones. It uses
internet (Wi-Fi) to control human desired appliances.
It helps us to control various appliances such as light, fan, TV and take decisions without
physical contact between the user and appliances.
Key words: internet, Arduino, Wi-Fi, home automation.
