Home Automation Using Android and Raspberry Pi (Literature Review)
INTRODUCTION
Smart home is not a new term for science society, it is
been used from decades. As electronic technologies are
advancing, the field of home automation is expanding TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION:
fastly. There were various smart systems have been Broadcom BCM2837 64bit ARMv7 Quad Core Processor
proposed where the control is via Bluetooth, internet etc. powered Single Board Computer running at 1.2GHz
Bluetooth capabilities are good and most of current 1GB RAM
laptop/desktops, tablets, notebooks and cell phones BCM43143 WiFi on board
have built-in adaptor that will indirectly reduce the cost Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) on board
of the system. But it limits the control to within the 40pin extended GPIO

systems are not so feasible to be implemented as low 4 pole Stereo output and Composite video port

IP camera is incorporated with following features.
1. Inbuilt Microphone and Mic. These provide two way
communications Between remote user and the person
standing in front of camera.
2. Alarm Service setting provides the features of alarm
while detecting Unauthorized movement of user.
3. File Transfer Protocol Setting and Email Setting
Provides the features of Emailing the video stream or
images at the regular interval of time.
CONCLUSION
By using Smartphone with android and Raspberry pi
model we can automate the home appliances. The cost
requires for hardware and software is not more so we
can easily prepare or configure the system for
automation. The video feedback is received in the
android app which streams the video of IP- Camera. It
uses the Wi-Fi router as interface between the
Smartphone and raspberry pi.In this way, automation
process is carried out. This is a simple prototype. Using
this as a reference further it can be expanded to many
other programs.
