An automated security system for smart home using android application and Arduino

Abstract

In modern era home automation plays a vital role because of its high precision and flexibility in using it at different places to save time, energy as well as money by falling down human effort. Key application of the certain technology is about providing a control of the house hold appliances/devices as per selected and directed by the registered user. This work encompasses meticulous information about “Home Automation and security system using GSM module”, Arduino & Android application. The estimate about the number of person available into the room will be improvised whenever the person will enter into the house. According to the double modes i.e. the home automation mode and a security mode the system will act. As in the home automation mode the controlling or appliances/devices will be performed and in security mode the alarm will start ringing. The display will be used to visualize the count about the person exist into that room. In automation approach whenever the chamber will get vacant as the sum total will be zero the light will get “turned OFF” designing the as system power proficient. Furthermore, the person is capable of controlling the home machines/devices by employing his/her cell-phone far away from the home which results in reduction of human effort. For the similar instance of time as the person will arrive into the chamber the alert message will directed to the user’s cell-phone using GSM module. The alarm can be controlled via cell-phone Android apps to TURN ON or to TURN OFF it.
