Abstract
Home automation involves introducing a degree of automatic control to certain electrical and electronic systems in a building such as lighting, temperature control etc. This work presents the design, specification, and prototype implementation of a composite home automation system using Bluetooth/Wi-Fi over android platform. The research work provides multiple yet simple design approaches for developing flexible and robust home automation system to cater for the deficiency in overall control of user appliances. It also tackles the problems with complex, multiple, incompatible standards and the resulting expenses in the existing systems. The proposed system features an Arduino Mega board with core AVR microcontroller (ATmega2560) interfaced to the ubiquitous ESP8266 Wi-Fi chip, Infrared transmitter and receiver mechanism, power relay interface as well as user contact LCD and Keypad. With the HTML5 based intuitive mobile and web applications, unlimited flexibility is induced in the system operations and management. Overall, the system extends the capabilities of home automation beyond the basic appliances switching and monitoring by giving broad control over the appliances’ functionalities in addition to switching their power.

Summary
Home automation or Smart Homes can be described as introduction of technology within the home environment to provide convenience, comfort, security and energy efficiency to its occupants [1]. It involves introducing a degree of automatic control to certain electrical and electronic systems in a building, including lighting, temperature control, etc. The system should be scalable so that new devices can be integrated into it It should provide a user-friendly interface on the host side, so that the devices can be setup, monitored and controlled.
