Microcontroller Based Smart Home

EE411 (Senior Project Design – 132)

Introduction

Smart home is an automated home that can be

controlled remotely and automatically to insure

the home's safety and security, reduce energy

consumption and make the residences lives to

be easier and more comfortable.

Security & Safety

One of the significant goals for smart homes

technology is to rise the security & safety level

of the house residents, so it has been improved

rapidly as the smart homes technology

advanced. The smart home's security & safety

can be provided by many applications that

ensure the house's security & safety and give

the resident many options to watch over his

house wherever he is located.

Objectives

• To be able to control electrical switches.

• To provide the user with the conditions of his

home by detecting temperature and motion.

• To save the consumption of energy.

• To ensure home safety and security.

• To control the smart home system using

different techniques.

Components Used

• Arduino Mega 2560

• PC with LabVIEW

• GSM Shield

• Sensors and Relays

• LCD

• Keypad

• Remote Control.

Electrical Switches

The main purpose of this application is to be

able to control any electrical device remotely

from anywhere in the world. This application

can be helpful to reduce the consumption of

power. Our target is to make a simple and

secure technique for the home's owner to

control his house. To illustrate this, the owner

can control his AC and lamps by a text

message, using LabVIEW software or remote

control.

Future Development

Our design can be upgraded easily since the

basics are built. It can be provided by more

sensors (dust, humidity, smoke …) that can

improve the system by giving the user more

safety, security and innovation. It can also be

provided by different ways of control using

various Arduino shields (like Wi-Fi shield).
