Home automation system (outdoor)

Abstract

The focus areas of this thesis in our group is on various aspects of Electrical, Electronics and Information technology in Home automation system (HAS) with low cost and wireless systems. Application of artificial intelligence techniques for recognition of various developments. The switch mode is used to control the home appliances. The main control system implements wireless technology to provide remote access even from a smart phone. The design remains as the existing switches are with more safety control with low voltage activating method. Presently, conventional wall switches located in different parts of the house makes it difficult for the elderly or physically handicapped people to do so. Remote control home automation system provides more 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. The loads are operated through the Arduino board through opto-isolators and thyristors using triacs.
