Abstracts: Technology is a never ending process. To be able to design a product using the current technology that will be beneficial to the lives of others is a huge contribution to the community. This paper presents the design and implementation of a low cost but yet flexible and secure cell phone based home automation system. The design is based on a standalone Arduino Uno board and the home appliances are connected to the input/ output ports of this board via relays. The communication between the cell phone and the Arduino Uno board is wireless. This system is designed to be low cost and scalable allowing variety of devices to be controlled with minimum changes to its core.
