ABSTRACT
Our future world will require a more intelligent method of controlling all electrical and electronic appliances in one’s home. Home automation has grown in popularity in recent decades, and it has enhanced comfort and quality of life. The control of home appliances is accomplished by the use of a single microcontroller, which has a branching structure with the microcontroller serving as the root memory and several RF transmitters serving as branches, each controlling a different home appliance. The user interface is via an android application that runs on a smartphone and connects to the microcontroller via WI-Fi, where rooms can be added and switches can be added to each room in the form of widgets, displaying a live simulation of the home’s network of switches and indicating whether they are active or inactive. By alerting the user to connections that are turned on unnecessarily, the application guarantees that power is managed efficiently. This paper investigates and implements home automation technologies that use a modem to send text messages to home appliances such as lights, climate control, and security systems (SMS). The proposed study focuses on the features of the GSM protocol, which allow users to track a target device from a distance using it.
