Project Title

Home Appliances Control System

This research work demonstrates novel methods which enable Users to control their home
appliances and systems from cell phone using a cell phone-based interface. In our methodology, to access
the control unit, the user have to sent an authentication code (DTMF) along with the required/desired
function/action to its home control system via Global System for Mobile communication (GSM). Upon
being properly authenticated, the cell phone-based interface at home (control unit) would relay the
commands to a microcontroller that would perform the required function/action, and return a function
completion code that would be sent to the source of the original command (user’s cell phone).

It work best for scenario when the user is away from the place the system uses wireless
technology to revolutionize the standards of living. This system provides ideal solution to the problems
faced by home owners in daily life. The system is wireless therefore more adaptable and cost-effective.
The HACS system provides security against intrusion as well as automates various home appliances using
SMS.
