A Home Automation System Based on Bluetooth Technology Using an Android Smartphone
In this work, a simple home automation system is to be discussed and designed. It is a concept where devices can be controlled remotely from a central hub and also allow these devices share data. It is proposed to design and build a system for home automation using Bluetooth technology. The reason Bluetooth is being used is because, it is an easily accessible network, thereby making it cheap. The implementation process will involve a software design for the android smartphone and a circuit design for the operation of the devices. An Arduino microcontroller will be used to control the circuit, and an android smartphone will be used as the control hub. Both will be linked by a Bluetooth module. At the end of the exercise, an active system for the control of basic home appliances will be developed, having an easy to use UI "user interface." In the introduction, the background of the study will be discussed.
