Abstract

The aim of this paper is to build a Bluetooth based system to connect various home devices to mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets. This system will allow users to control their home devices from their mobiles. This project tries to create a cheap solution for such tasks using Bluetooth technology. The home devices are connected to an Arduino microcontroller that is programmed to control various functions. Some of the functions include turning the lights on and off with various levels and changing fan speeds for indoor climate change. The controller itself is connected to an Android operated smart phone and its functions are controlled wirelessly via Bluetooth wireless technology. The phone will communicate with the microcontroller by using an Android mobile application that meets the system interaction requirements with the microcontroller. A code will be sent to the microcontroller to receive commands from the android application to control the devices accordingly.

Summary

Introduction

Modern technology allows for building many embedded systems that use microprocessors, wireless connection and smart phone technologies to make our daily life easier. An easy and a straightforward interface needs to be built in order to allow the user to control the system effortlessly. Once all of these steps are achieved, this will provide an outstanding and simple interface that allows users to fully utilize the system conveniently. Our objective is to build a system that allows users to control home devices via a mobile application wirelessly. This system will connect Arduino microcontroller board to different home devices such as lamps, fans and others. It uses cheap hardware such as multi-purpose Arduino microcontroller.
