Android and GSM Based Home Automation Using Arm

In this paper, we propose a framework for developing a home automation system based on an IPv6 personal area network protocol – the 6LoWPAN. The proposed framework supports various kinds of end-devices. It provides the ability to remotely control the end-devices over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). It is able to automatically perform the appropriate actions based on user-predefined scenarios. The most advantage of the proposed framework is runtime configurable without any needs of reprogramming or resetting the whole system. We also develop a prototype of home automation system to prove the robustness and the advantage of our framework. Home automation today is not a new thing but most advanced home automation systems in existence today require a big and expensive change of infrastructure. This means that it often is not feasible to install a home automation system in an existing building. “Homatic� is a wireless home automation application that is supposed to be implemented in existing home environments, without any changes in the existing infrastructure. “Homatic� lets the user to control his home from his or her android smart phone. In the smart phone application the user can select actions what should happen with electrical and/or electronic devices in the network. Home automation is automation of the home, housework or household activity. Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security. The concept of home automation has been around for a long time and products have been on the market for decades, though no one solution has broken through to the mainstream yet. Home automation for the elderly and disabled can provide increased quality of life for persons who might otherwise require caregivers or institutional care. It can also provide a remote interface to home appliances or the automation system itself, via telephone line, wireless transmission or the internet, to provide control and monitoring via a smart phone or web browser. This project will describe the approach which we are implementing to control various home appliances with Android smart phone.
