ABSTRACT
The main objective of this project is to develop a smart home automation system using an
Arduino board with Bluetooth module HC-05 being remotely controlled by any Android OS
smart phone. As technology is advancing day by day, so houses are also getting smarter.
Modern houses are gradually shifting from conventional switches to centralized control
system, involving remote controlled switches. Presently, conventional wall switches located in
different parts of the house makes it difficult for the user to go near them to operate. Even more
it becomes more difficult for the elderly or physically handicapped people to do so. Remote
controlled home automation system provides a most 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 by Arduino board through 5 volt relays.

Basics about Arduino Uno and 8051 Microcontroller
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Arduino Uno is a development board that houses a microcontroller (ATMEGA 328) on it. It
is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware
and software. Arduino works on the IDE software (Integrated Development Environment). It
works on 16 MHz crystal oscillator.
Arduino = Microcontroller + Crystal + On board power supply pins
(ATMEGA 328)
Microcontroller 8051 is an intelligent unit that acts like a processor. It solves real world
problems. Microcontrollers are just like the small computer on a single integrated circuit.
They are mostly used in automated controlled projects such as home automation, office
machines, appliances, power tools and other embedded systems. Microcontroller 8051 is an
8- bit processor having 4k size of ROM and 128 Kbytes of RAM. It works on 11.0592 MHz
crystal oscillator,
8051 Microcontroller = 40 Pin Dual in Package IC

2.3 L293D (Motor driver IC)
L293D is a dual H-bridge motor driver integrated circuit (IC). Motor drivers act as current
amplifiers since they take a low-current control signal. L293D is basically a high current dual
motor driver/controller Integrated Circuit (IC). It is able to drive load having current up to 1A
at the voltage ranging from 4.5V to 36V. Motor driver usually act as current amplifier
because they receive a low current signal as an input and provides high current signal at the
output.

BASIC INTERFACING CIRCUITS
3.1 HC-05 interfacing with Arduino
HC-05 is a Bluetooth device used for wireless communication with Bluetooth enabled
devices (like Smartphone). It communicates with microcontrollers using serial
communication (USART).
Default baud rate of module is 9600 bps which can be changed using certain AT commands.
As HC-05 Bluetooth module has 3.3 V level for RX/TX and microcontroller can detect 3.3 V
level, so, there is no need to shift TX voltage level of HC-05 module. But we need to shift the
transmit voltage level from microcontroller to RX of HC05 module.

3.2 Arduino and Bluetooth interfacing with LED
These are the main blocks for controlling the LED by giving ON/OFF commands from
Smartphone. HC 05 works on serial communication. The Android app is designed to send
serial data to the Arduino Bluetooth module when a button is pressed on the app. The
Arduino Bluetooth module at the other end receives the data and sends it to the Arduino
through the TX pin of the Bluetooth module (connected to RX pin of Arduino). The code
uploaded to the Arduino checks the received data and compares it. If the received data is 1,
the LED turns ON. The LED turns OFF when the received data is 0. You can open the serial
monitor and watch the received data while connecting.

INTRODUCTION TO HOME AUTOMATION, ITS DESIGN
AND IMPLEMENTATION
4.1 Introduction
As the name suggests, it means building automation for a home. An automated home system
can control light, fan, refrigerator, entertainment systems and appliances. When it connected
with internet, it becomes an important constitute of Internet of Things (IOT).
When devices are connected with internet to automate things, then they come in the category
of Self Monitoring Analysis.
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 using Bluetooth. With the help of this system we can control our
home appliances from your mobile phone. We can turn on/off your home appliances within
the range of Bluetooth.

4.2 Designing of circuit
The circuit has been designed in such a way so that it can automate appliances from the
command given by any Smartphone. A low cost and efficient smart home system is presented
in our design. This system has two main modules: the hardware interface module and the
software communication module. The heart of this system is the Arduino Uno
microcontroller Atmega 328P. All communication and controls in this system pass through
the microcontroller.

4.2.3 Bluetooth app for home automation
Fig.12 Bluetooth app for home automation
4.3 Technical specifications for this project
 A Smartphone or an Android mobile which should have the android app installed in it.
 Bluetooth receiver module – Our project will be connected to the Smartphone using
Bluetooth technology.
 Controller or the main processing circuit- In this project, Arduino Uno is the main
controlling / processing unit. Also, this project can be developed using PIC18F4550,
AVR ATmega32 and 8051 series like: 89s51, 89c51, 89s52, 89v51RD2.
 Relays to control devices – We have used 5volt Single push single throw relays.
 Output devices – For the demo purpose, we have connected a DC devices to a relay
(12 volt DC bulb).
4.4 Pros of home automation
 Security:
Many home automation technologies fall under the umbrella of home security.
Consumers purchase these devices because they want to make their homes safer and more
secure. Automated lighting thwarts would-be burglars, and motion sensors help people
enter doors and walk hallways late at night.
 Energy Efficiency:
Increase our home’s energy efficiency by remotely powering off systems and appliances
when they aren’t in use. In addition to the standard home automation products that give

active control, some products actively monitor systems. The homeowner with knowledge,
insight and guidance to achieve greater control and energy efficiency.
 Savings:
Smart light bulbs save energy, cutting utility costs over time. Some home automation
technologies monitor water usage, too, helping to prevent exorbitant water bills. Certain
devices even offer rebates.
4.5 Cons of home automation
 Installation:
Depending on the complexity of the system, installing a home automation device can be a
significant burden on the homeowner. It can either cost you money if you hire an outside
contractor or cost you time if you venture to do it yourself.
 System compatibility:
Controlling all aspects of home automation from one centralized platform is important,
but not all systems are compatible with one another. Our security system, for example,
may require logging in to one location to manage settings, while our smart thermostat
may require logging in to another platform to turn the air conditioner on and off. To truly
leverage the convenience of home automation, you may need to invest in centralized
platform technology to control all systems and devices from one location.
 Complex technology:
Automating everything in life may sound extremely appealing, but sometimes a good old-
fashioned flip of the switch is a lot easier than reaching for our smart phone to turn lights
on and off. Before we decide which system is right for us, think about how far we really
want to take home automation in your household.
4.6 Applications of home automation
 Using this project we can turn on/off our lights which will save the electricity.
 The project can be further expanded to a smart home automation system by including
some sensors like light sensors, temperature sensors, safety sensors etc. and
automatically adjust different parameters like room lighting, air conditioning (room
temperature), door locks etc. and transmit the information to our phone.
 Additionally, we can connect to internet and control the home from remote location
over internet and also monitor the safety.

Chapter 5
FUTURE SCOPE
 Arduino based device control using Bluetooth on Smartphone project can be enhanced
to control the speed of the fan or volume of the buzzer etc.
 Home automation and Device controlling can be done using Internet of Things – IOT
technology.
 We can replace Bluetooth by GSM modem so that we can achieve device controlling
by sending SMS using GSM modem.

Chapter 6
CONCLUSION
The home automation system has been experimentally proven to work satisfactorily by
connecting sample appliances to it and the appliances were successfully controlled from a
wireless mobile device.
The project works successfully as per our requirement. The interfacing between all the
components is good and we are able to ON/OFF our appliances from an android phone till
the distance of 10m.
We learned many skills such as soldering, wiring the circuit and other tools that we
use for this project and was able to work together as a team during this project.
The Bluetooth client was successfully tested on a multitude of different mobile phones
from different manufacturers, thus proving its portability and wide compatibility. Thus a
low-cost home automation system was successfully designed, implemented and tested.
