 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

Home automation is a general term that covers a variety of technological capabilities you can install in your home.
Home automation can include controlling aspects of your home remotely through a computer or phone,
programming electronic devices to respond automatically to certain conditions or scenarios, or centralizing the
control of a variety of items in your home into a single control center. In the present time, the technologically
advanced world is getting more and more advance as new technology is penetrating deeper into our personal lives
even in our homes as well. The home automation system is becoming very popular around the world.

Home automation is used to control and monitor electronic security systems, lighting, climate, appliances, audio
and video equipment etc. Home automation is the residential extension of building automation, and it is an
automation of the home, housework, or household activity. The benefits of automation are that it is secure and
saves money, time, maintenance costs, and makes life easier. Generally, in today’s modern world human beings
are addicted to using modern equipment. This project intends to make an Android OS based smart phone or tablet
workable for controlling every appliance of industries or households. There are several Android applications
available in the market to turn our Android-based smart phone or tablet into a remote control for our home. 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 Home Automation system. With the help
of this system, you can control your home appliances like fan, led lights etc. In the computer age of the 21 st
century, more and more tasks are becoming automated. Automation can make things easier, safer, and often more
cost efficient. What was once the stuff of world’s fairs and science fiction is today a reality, so learn about the
benefits and capabilities of applying today’s technology to your home. A home automation system typically
connects controlled devices to a central hub or “gateway”. The user interface for control of the system uses either
wall – mounted terminals, tablet or desktop computers, a mobile phone application, or a Web interface that may
also be accessible off-site through the Internet. While there are many competing vendors, there are increasing
efforts towards open-source systems. However, there are issues with the current state of home automation
including a lack of standardized security measures and deprecation of older devices without backwards
compatibility.

Home automation has high potential for sharing data between family members or trusted individuals for personal
security and could lead to energy saving measures with a positive environmental impact in the future. In our
project we are doing Smoke Detection System, Motion controlled LED lights and Password Based Door Lock
System. Smoke detector system can be used offices, shops and homes to detect fires. It can also be used to detect
alcohol content ignorer to check if people are drunk driving, detect the concentration of harmful and harmless
gases in the atmosphere. Control lights using PIR sensors: Street lights, washrooms, places where light is required
only when someone needs to pass by or use it for a very short period of time so electricity is saved. The smart
door lock system can be used in homes, offices, and hotels. They provide a higher level of security as compared
to the locks used nowadays. It saves time as we don’t need a key to lock and unlock the door. It has better access
control as we might lose physical keys or forget them. We are doing all these projects using Arduino. We have
provided the code for the all the experiments we have done. We have implemented the projects in both online and
offline mode. In online mode we have used Tinkercad environment and offline we have connection all and got
the output. Tinkercad is a free-of-charge, online 3D modeling program that runs in a web browser, known for its
simplicity and ease of use. Since it became available in 2011 it has become a popular platform for creating models
for 3D printing as well as an entry-level introduction to constructive solid geometry in schools.

1.1 PURPOSE

The main objective of this project is to design and construct a home automation system using an Arduino board,
that will remotely on/off home appliances connected to it. This provides an integrated system built to facilitate a
smart home for the general public especially for the elderly and disabled as the conventional wall switches located
in different parts of the house makes it difficult for them to go near to operate. These can not only be used at home
but also on a larger scale like offices, industries, hotels, universities, etc. In this project we use micro-controllers
like Arduino to help the consumer wirelessly control lights or automatically turn off lights in case no motion
detected to save power consumption, a door lock keypad system to increase security in sensitive areas and a fire
alarm system one of the basic needs for almost all newly constructed buildings. Home automation is not one
technology it’s the integration of multiple technologies into one system. We can save the money as well by using
home automation system and can be controlled the home appliances from where you are actually.

1.2 SCOPE

Future scope for the home automation systems involves making homes even smarter. Homes can be interfaced
with sensors including motion sensors, light sensors and temperature sensors and provide automated toggling of
devices based on conditions. More energy can be conserved by ensuring occupation of the house before turning
on devices and checking brightness and turning off lights if not necessary. The system can be integrated closely
with home security solutions to allow greater control and safety for home owners. The next step would be to
extend this system to automate a large-scale environment, such as offices and factories. Home Automation offers
a global standard for interoperable products. Standardization enables smart homes that can control appliances,
lighting, environment, energy management and security as well as the expandability to connect with other
networks.
The wireless controlled lights, google assistant or any AI like Alexa, Siri can be integrated to control lights by
voice commands, moreover we can implement face id unlock or finger print unlock to make the security harder
to breach, in case of breach owner will receive notifications so that he /she can call the appropriate authorities,
similarly in case of fire notification can be sent directly to the fire department and to the respective owner. The
plant monitoring system can monitor plant health remotely based on the data stored by the system in cloud.

LITERATURE SURVEY

2.1 IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERNET OF THINGS FOR HOME AUTOMATION:

Mamata Khatu, Neethu Kaimal, Pratik Jadhav and Syedali Adnan Rizvi [1] they presented a paper on the
implementation of Internet of things for home automation. This paper mainly focused on IoT coverage that
connects all the variety of objects like smart phone, tablets, digital cameras and sensors in the internet and thus
provides many services and huge amount of data and information. They also focused on Cloud computing, Cloud
based platform help to connect the things that surrounds as so that we can easily access anything at any time and
in any place. They have illustrated sensing as a service on cloud by using certain application like Augmented
Reality, Agriculture, Environment monitoring etc. and finally they have proposed a prototype model for providing
sensing as a service on cloud. The society need new and scalable, compatible and secure solutions for both the
management of the ever broader complexly networked Internet of Things. Security concern is overcome by this
model since we are using Wi-Fi Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) are two
most used security accesses used in Wi-Fi.

2.2 HOME AUTOMATION USING Atmega328 MICROCONTROLLER AND ANDROID

APPLICATION:
S.Anusha, M.Madhavi and R.Hemalatha [2] presented a paper on Home automation using AT mega
Microcontroller and Android application. In this paper they have describe the design and development of a remote
household appliance control system using the Atmega328 microcontroller and android mobile through GSM
technology. In addition, this appliance remotely using the SMS-based system that satisfying user needs and
requirements. Thus, all electrical household appliances can be controlled by sending a text message from an
Android mobile. For Controlling, the remote appliances carried out by sending a SMS message from a mobile
phone, which again congestion process and make system, complicated for the disabled persons. Here, we does
not carry out this technique, we are using simple open source android application through Wi-Fi we can directly
control the entire appliance with a greater extent. Thus, intend to be a reliable method.

2.3 CLOUD BASED HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM:
Home Automation using cloud-based system [3] focuses on design and implementation of home gateway to
collect data about data from home appliances and then send to the cloud-based data server to get store on Hadoop
Distribute File System, it is process using MapReduce and use to implement a monitoring tasks to Remote user
Presently home Automation System is persistently developing its resilience by assimilating the current
characteristics which gratify the rising interest of the people. This paper presents the design and development of
home automation system that use the cloud computing as service. The current system consists of three important
units: the first part is cloud server, handle and controls the data and information of client and users and the status
of devices The hardware interface module is the second part which implement the relevant connection to the
actuators and sensing devices which give the physical service. Last part is Home Server, which construct the
hardware device and gives the user interface. This paper focus to build the web services using cloud which is
need for security and storage and availability of the data. The current system is cost efficient, reliable and
comfortable which also gives a secured home automation system for entire family. The system is made up of
various client modules for various platforms.

Cloud Server is a central server aims on implementing services to the other sub modules. Central server serves as
the data respiratory system and brain It implements three connections to the three sub modules viz home system,
web configuration tool and mobile. The server evaluates the data it takes from the house, send current status to
the mobile device and vice versa. A database is managing by the server and it is status gets updated as per the
changes done at home end. Embedded Program for Hardware Circuit Microcontroller and Internet Client for any
desktop or mobile phones.

2.4 RASPBERRY PIE HOME AUTOMATION WITH WIRELESS SENSORS USING

SMART PHONE
Home Automation System has been developed with Raspberry Pi [4] by reading the algorithm and subject of E-
mail. Raspberry Pi guarantees to be an efficient platform for implementation powerful, and economic smart home
automation. home automation using Raspberry pi is better than any other home automation methods in several
ways. For example, DTMF (dual tone multi-frequency) using home automation, the call tariff is a big demerit,
which is not the problem in their proposed method. In Home Automation using web server, the design of web
server and the memory space required is dismiss by this method, because it just uses the already established web
server service given by G-mail. LEDs were used to identify the switching action. This System is efficient and
flexible interactive.

 CHAPTER 3
DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION

3.1 HARDWARE ANALYSIS

a) Arduino Uno
The Arduino Uno is one kind of microcontroller board based on Atmega328, and Uno is an Italian term which
means one. Arduino Uno is named for marking the upcoming release of microcontroller board namely Arduino
Uno Board 1.0. This board includes digital I/O pins-14, a power jack, analog i/ps-6, ceramic resonator-A16 MHz,
a USB connection, an RST button, and an ICSP header. All these can support the microcontroller for further
operation by connecting this board to the computer. The power supply of this board can be done with the help of
an AC to DC adapter, a USB cable, otherwise a battery.

b) LCD 16x2 Display

An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen is an electronic display module and has a wide range of applications. A
16x2 LCD display is very basic module and is very commonly used in various devices and circuits. A 16x2 LCD
means it can display 16 characters per line and there are 2 such lines. In this LCD each character is displayed in
5x7 pixel matrix. The 16 x 2 intelligent alphanumeric dot matrix display is capable of displaying 224 different
characters and symbols. This LCD has two registers, namely, Command and Data. Command register stores
various commands given to the display. Data register stores data to be displayed. The process of controlling the
display involves putting the data that form the image of what you want to display into the data registers, then
putting instructions in the instruction register.

c) Breadboard
A breadboard is a solderless device for temporary prototype with electronics and test circuit designs. Most
electronic components in electronic circuits can be interconnected by inserting their leads or terminals into the
holes and then making connections through wires where appropriate. They are designed to work with through-
hole electronic components. These components have long metal leads that are designed to be inserted through
holes in a printed circuit board (PCB) that are plated with a thin copper coating, which allows the components’
leads to be soldered to the board.

6
 d) MQ-135 Smoke Sensor
Air quality sensor for detecting a wide range of gases, including NH3, Nox, alcohol, benzene, smoke and CO2.
Ideal for use in office or factory. MQ135 gas sensor has high sensitivity to Ammonia, Sulfide and Benze steam,
also sensitive to smoke and other harmful gases. It is with low cost and particularly suitable for Air quality
monitoring application.

e) PIR Sensor
A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from
objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors. PIR sensors are commonly
used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications.

f) Buzzer
A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device, which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric
(piezo for short). Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers, and confirmation of user
input such as a mouse click or keystroke.

g) LED Bulbs
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it.
Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons. The color
of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photons) is determined by the energy required for electrons to
cross the band gap of the semiconductor. White light is obtained by using multiple semiconductors or a layer of
light-emitting phosphor on the semiconductor device.

h) Keypad 4x4
A matrix keypad is the kind of keypad you see on microwave ovens, gas pumps, and calculators. A matrix keypad
you can connect to a breadboard is also great for prototypes and inventions where things like codes, times, or
other values have to be entered.

i) Micro Servo Motor

A servomotor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position,
velocity and acceleration. It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback. It also requires
a relatively sophisticated controller, often a dedicated module designed specifically for use with servomotors.

7
 j) NPN Transistor (BJT)
A bipolar junction transistor is a type of transistor that uses both electrons and electron holes as charge carriers.
The transistor in which one p-type material is placed between two n-type materials is known as NPN transistor.
The NPN transistor amplifies the weak signal enter into the base and produces strong amplify signals at the
collector end. In NPN transistor, the direction of movement of an electron is from the emitter to collector region
due to which the current constitutes in the transistor. Such type of transistor is mostly used in the circuit because
their majority charge carriers are electrons which have high mobility as compared to holes.

k) Jumper Wires
Jumper wires are used for making connections between items on your breadboard and your Arduino’s header
pins.

l) Resistor (1K ohm)

A resistor reduces (or resists) the flow of current. A 1k Ω resistor has a value of 1,000 ohms.

3.2 SOFTWARE ANALYSIS

The softwares used in the project are Arduino IDE and Tinkercad.

a) Arduino IDE
The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a cross-platform application (for Windows, macOS,
Linux) that is written in functions from C and C++. It is used to write and upload programs to Arduino compatible
boards, but also, with the help of third-party cores, other vendor development boards. The Arduino IDE employs
the program avrdude to convert the executable code into a text file in hexadecimal encoding that is loaded into
the Arduino board by a loader program in the board’s firmware. By default, avrdude is used as the uploading tool
to flash the user code onto official Arduino boards.

b) Tinkercad
Tinkercad is a free-of-charge, online 3D modeling program that runs in a web browser, known for its simplicity
and ease of use. It has become a popular platform for creating models for 3D printing as well as an entry-level
introduction to constructive solid geometry in schools.

WORKING
When smoke/gas comes in contact with the sensor, then firstly the gas gets ionized into its constituents and then
get adsorbed by the sensing element. This adsorption creates a potential difference on the sensing element and
the sensor outputs a voltage which is proportional to the concentration of the gas. i.e.; greater the concentration
of the gas greater the output voltage. Resistance of the sensor is dependent on the type of the gas. Sensitivity of
the sensor can be adjusted using a potentiometer. MQ-135 has 4 pins (gnd, vcc, a-out, d-out) where a-out gives
the analog output. Here, output is an analog signal which is read by the analog input(a0) of the Arduino. In the
program we will set a threshold value(voltage) and if the output voltage of the sensor exceeds this value, then the
red LED starts glowing and the buzzer turns on and the alert message gets printed on the screen. All the

4.2 APPLICATIONS

Home automation is becoming popular all over the world with each passing day. These systems are very
convenient for people who have hectic schedules and do not get much time to carry the house hold activities.
These systems are very compact and very much compatible for all kinds of people. Thought the middle class
might find it expensive, the high class can easily afford buying and installing one at their home. The home
automation system helps you control the devices at your home automatically. In order to change the settings of it
you simply need to have a computer, android device with internet or remote control. In this way everything will
work according to you wish. We have heard about smart phones and smart devices, by installing a home
automation system you can very easily make your ordinary home a smart home.

Any day-to-day, repeatable process is automatable with smart home applications. The greater the control and
flexibility of these processes, the more energy and cost savings the resident experiences, which are factors anyone
who pays utilities strives to moderate. The smart home revolution is likely to be more of an evolution, with the
incorporation of one or two home systems at a time, gradually automating our households through smart mobile
devices.

The inefficiency of operation of conventional wall switches can be overwhelmed using various home automation
systems (without using conventional switching methods). The loss of power can be reduced and manpower
required for home automation is very less compared to conventional methods. The IR, RF, android application,
Arduino, Bluetooth, DTMF, etc., based home automation systems can be more efficient, provides ease of
operation. Provides safety from electrical power short circuits while using conventional wall switches to operate
loads. Home automation system with automated door locking and security cameras facilitates more security. By
using a home automation system, we can save a lot of time to operate home appliances from anywhere.

In this project we use micro-controller like Arduino help the consumer wirelessly control lights or automatically
turn off lights in case no motion detected to save power consumption, a door lock keypad system to increase
security in sensitive areas, and a fire alarm system one of the basic needs for almost all newly constructed
buildings. Smoke detector system can be used offices, shops and homes to detect fires. It can also be used to
detect alcohol content ignorer to check if people are drunk driving, detect the concentration of harmful and
harmless gases in the atmosphere. Control lights using PIR sensors: Street lights, washrooms, places where light
is required only when someone needs to pass by or use it for a very short period of time so electricity is saved.
The smart door lock system can be used in homes, offices, and hotels. They provide a higher level of security as
30
compared to the locks used nowadays. It saves time as we don’t need a key to lock and unlock the door. It has
better access control as we might lose physical keys or forget them.

4.3 RESULT

Home automation can quickly bring the future in to our homes by incorporating security, climate, and household
gadgets and transforms our regular home into a futuristic smart home. These smart home systems can be used for
simple or elaborate tasks by integrating devices and gadgets inside and outside of your home. All Smart Home
systems will use similar components. These enable it to perform different actions, to sense environmental
conditions and to react to motion, doors opening, windows closing and all manner of different events in your
home. Each device type has a specific purpose within the system, together they will give you the flexibility to
control your home, and keep you informed about what’s going on. In Future, the wireless controlled lights, google
assistant or any AI like Alexa, Siri can be integrated to control lights by voice commands, moreover we can
implement face id unlock or finger print unlock to make the security harder to breach, in case of breach owner
will receive notifications so that he /she can call the appropriate authorities, similarly in case of fire notification
can be sent directly to the fire department and to the respective owner. The plant monitoring system can monitor
plant health remotely based on the data stored by the system in cloud.

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORKS

5.1 CONCLUSION

The main purpose of a home automation system is to provide ease to people to control different home appliances
with the help of the android application present in their mobile phones and to save electricity, time, and money.
Our Door Lock system helps the user to protect their homes from burglars when they are away from the home by
using an alarm as the alarm will start ringing whenever a burglar tries to enter the house and the person will
receive a message on his mobile phone whenever some other person will try to enter the owner’s house. In motion-
controlled -LEDs help us to save a lot of electricity. This can not only be used in controlling LEDs but also can
be fitted in taps to save water and avoid wastage. In Smoke detector System we were able to develop the software
with minimum cost and the software helps people to detect smoke hence help them to extinguish the fire. This
software can also be used as an alcohol content ignorer. So, in this project, we were able to make software that
enhances home automation.

5.2 FUTURE WORKS

The main purpose of a home automation system is to provide ease to people to control different home appliances
with the help of the android application present in their mobile phones and to save electricity, time, and money.
This system also helps the user to protect their homes from burglars when they are away from the home by using
an alarm as the alarm will start ringing whenever a burglar tries to enter the house and the person will receive a
message on his mobile phone whenever some other person will try to enter the owner’s house. In motion-
controlled -LEDs help us to save a lot of electricity. This can not only be used in controlling LEDs but also can
be fitted in taps to save water and avoid wastage. In Smoke detector System we were able to develop the software
with minimum cost and the software helps people to detect smoke hence help them to extinguish the fire. This
software can also be used as an alcohol content ignorer. So in this project, we were able to make software that
enhances home automation.
