Home Automation

ABSTRACT
Home Automation is a way to have things around your home happen automatically. The first thing that comes to mind when folks think of home automation are robots, flashing lights, complicated electronics and a general feeling that their home is less of a warm home and more of a cold science experiment. However, in most homes today, you can easily find some simple forms of automation such as: Garage door openers ,Remote Controls ,Irrigation / sprinkler control systems ,Motion activated lights, Security systems ,Programmable thermostats ,Programmable light timers If you want to keep going, you can throw in dishwasher, clothes washers and dryers, ovens, microwaves, cars, lights and switches…. The list goes on and on.
GSM based Control System implements the emerging applications of the GSM technology. Using GSM networks, a control system has been proposed that will act as an embedded system which can monitor and control appliances and other devices locally using built-in input and output peripherals. Remotely the system allows the user to effectively monitor and control the house/office appliances and equipment via the mobile phone set by sending commands in the form of DTMF TONE. The main concept behind the project is receiving the CALL and a fix DTMF TONE and processing it further as required to perform several operations. The type of the operation to be per formed depends on the key pressed. The principle in which the project is based is fairly simple. Firstly, the DTMF TONE is sent via the mobile keypad and then it is decoded through a decoder and sent to the intermediate hardware that we have designed according to the command received in form of the DTMF TONE. The DTMF TONE is sent from the mobile set that contains commands in DTMF form which are then processed accordingly to perform the required task. A microcontroller based system has been proposed for our project. There are several terminologies that are used extensively throughout this project report.
