Bluetooth Home Automation System

Abstract

Innovation is a lifelong process. Designing a product through available technology that will be beneficial to the lives of others is a huge contribution to the society. This paper puts forward the design and implementation of a low cost yet flexible and secure Android based home automation system. The design of the project is based on a Arduino UNO board and the home appliances are connected to the input/output ports of this board via relays. The interaction between the smartphone and the Arduino UNO is wireless. This project is designed to be low cost yet scalable which allows large variety of devices to be controlled with miniscule changes to its core.
