INTRODUCTION:
The past decade has seen significant advancement in the field of consumer electronics.
Various “intelligent” appliances such as cellular phone, air conditioners, home security
devices, home theatres, etc., are set to realize the concept of a smart home. They have given
rise to a Personal Area Network in home environment, where all these appliances can be
interconnected and monitored using a single controller. Home automation involves
introducing a degree of computerized or automatic control to certain electrical and electronic
systems in a building. These include lighting, fan etc. Moreover the problem was that elderly
and disabled people cannot do their work on own and to make a friendly user environment the
home automation system was introduced. Since the elderly and disabled people cannot
manage to do their own required work such as switching the fan light etc. This project is
helpful for the smart home system.
1. Home appliances can‟t be operated from distance.
2. Each time we have to point out remote control towards appliances to control them.
3. An IR waves doesn‟t pass through doors and walls.
4. High intensity of Florescent light may interrupt communication
5. IR based system reduce the flexibility
This project demonstrates a simple home automation system which contains a remote
mobile host controller and several client modules (home appliances). The client modules
communicate with the host controller through a wireless device such as a Bluetooth enabled
mobile phone, in this case, an android based Smart phone.
OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of the system are:
1. To control home appliances by using voice commands.
2. To help the disabled and elderly people.
METHODOLOGY:

DESCRIPTION:
1. This paper details the overall design of a Wireless Home Automation System
(WHAS). This is fuelled by the need to provide supporting systems for the elderly and
the disabled, especially those who live alone.
2. The automation Centre‟s on recognition of voice commands and uses Bluetooth
wireless communication module. The home automation system is intended to control
all lights and electrical appliances in a home or office using voice commands.
3. In this system Bluetooth device receives voice command as input to a Renesas
controller, which converts the data into a required format to be used in the
microcontroller where the devices are attached to it. Based on the message it received,
it either turns ON/OFF the home appliances.
4. The users can manipulate appliances anytime, anywhere, letting our houses become
more and more automated and intelligent. Therefore, it‟s a good choice to design a
terminal based on phone.
