This paper describes home automation system and its individual components and evaluates
its performance. With a home automation system, people are able to program many objects
to work automatically, which is automation of the home, housework or household
activities. The paper presents a microprocessor-based smart home system. This paper
demonstrates and explains the design and implementation of a digitally controlled interface
between different sensors and an Arduino microprocessor. The proposed system is
implementing alarm system based on Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication
network to send Short Message Service (SMS) to the owner. The proposed system is aimed
at the security of home against theft, Fire, CO and gas. In case of risk the device sends
SMS to the emergency number which is provided to the system. The system is made up of
basic components: sensors, GSM Module, Arduino, relays to control the device and
buzzers to give security alert signals in terms of sound. The objective of this paper is to use
Arduino Mega2560 microcontroller to design and build a smart home automation system
which provides the user with new features such as door access control, fire alarm system,
control home appliance and objects by mobile application. This paper tries to emphasize
the point of advantages of new microprocessor technologies which could make many more
houses smart with lower cost. By using this system, we can solve the problems faced by
home owners in daily life and made their life easy, flexible and comfortable by proposing
cost effective and reliable solution.
