Abstract: This paper presents a GSM control for home devices with radio-frequency identification and current detection of
outlets. This system is composed of ARM-7 based microcontroller, radio-frequency identification, solid state relays (SSR),
current transformer and Bluetooth module. The application software module will know the operation of the lighting device that
when plugged in the outlet causes an overload or short circuit, thus achieving an early warning and protection effect. The ARM
Software Development Toolkit (SDT) consists of a suite of applications together with supporting documentation and example
that enable you to write and debug applications for the ARM family of RISC processors. The MDK Core includes all the
components that you need to create build and debug an embedded application for Core-M processor based microcontroller
devices. The Pack Installer manages Software middleware updates independent from the tool chain. Each addition includes the
microVision IDE, debugger, compiler, assembler, linker, middleware libraries and the RTX RTOS.

Keywords: ARM-7, MDK, RTX RTOS, RFID, GSM, Bluetooth & House Hold Control.

I. INTRODUCTION communicator. There it can give the information about

The smart devices applications have been increased
from fast few years, but in fact it is not implemented and
used for a common house lighting systems. When we
discuss the theme of lighting devices, there are many
papers proposing various methods to control a variety of
LED, incandescent lights and fluorescent bulbs, but the
majority relies on user identification of the light bulbs and
then finds various methods to control them. Radio-
frequency identification (RFID) application is widely
used. In some applications, the RFID tag is put on the
user's body and several active readers are placed in
different corners of the room. They get some received
signal strength indicator (RSSI) value which can judge the
user’s relative position in the room [1]. Based on the
room requirement of light the RF ID number is design,
where RFID number is unique. So, active receivers
receive the node (RFID) number and process to the
system to relive the corresponding amount of power based
on the tag ID. Here the tags are allocated based on the
intensity of light. When particular tag is activated the
embedded programming’s enable the corresponding
switch of light out of all others. For example the living
room and rest room lighting requirement is different so
that two different tags are required in these application.
Based on the tag ID the RF Receiver can identify the
room and process the light of the particular room. The
user mobile blue tooth connected to the nearby blue tooth
the all enable lightings information of the home. If mobile
user identify any wrong outlet is in ON position or
required one in FALSE potion; the user can directly
control the devices with proper authentication.
II. HARDWARE DESIGN
The system is composed with the sensing systems, so
that sensed information is processed to Micro Controller
with analog to digital converters. Where, the current
transformer is processed with required amount of power.
Based on the current transformer input the micro
controller takes the initiative actions on the outlets with
the help of stored programs within it (flash memory). The
microcontroller has 4 main functions. The first function is
to collect the information from RFID with is placed
different corners of the room. The second function is
collecting the information of ADC; identify the difference
amount of power by using estimation with the current
transformer. Therefore it can check the bulb is properly
placed or not. Third function is to turn on the blue tooth
and send the information of present status of the switches
(bulbs) and its power consumption. The fourth function is
to control the devices from the over load protection. Here
any sudden flow of current to the device; the Micro
controller can identify and immediately stop the power
supply these particular device.

However, GSM is vulnerable to different class of attacks,
each of them aiming a different part of the network.

A. Micro controller: This section forms the control unit
of the whole project. This section basically consists of a
Microcontroller with its associated circuitry like Crystal
with capacitors, Reset circuitry, Pull up resistors (if
needed) and so on. The Microcontroller forms the heart of
the project because it controls the devices being interfaced
and communicates with the devices according to the
program being written.
B. ARM7TDMI: ARM is the abbreviation of Advanced
RISC Machines, it is the name of a class of processors,
and is the name of a kind technology too. The RISC
instruction set, and related decode mechanism are much
simpler than those of Complex Instruction Set Computer
(CISC) designs.
C. Liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat panel display,
electronic visual display that uses the light modulation
properties of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals do not emit
light directly. LCDs are available to display arbitrary
images or fixed images which can be displayed or hidden,
such as preset words, digits, and 7-segment displays as in
a digital clock.
D. GSM:Global System for Mobile Communication
(GSM) is a set of ETSI standards specifying the
infrastructure for a digital cellular service.
The network is structured into a number of discrete
sections:
 Base Station Subsystem – the base stations and their
controllers explained.
 Network and Switching Subsystem – the part of the
network most similar to a fixed network, sometimes
just called the "core network".
 GPRS Core Network – the optional part which allows
packet-based Internet connections.
 Operations support system (OSS) – network
maintenance.
SM was intended to be a secure wireless system. It has
considered the user authentication using a pre-shared key

silicon chip-based transponder that communicates via
radio waves. Radio Frequency Identification is a
technology which uses tags as a component in an
integrated supply chain solution set that will evolve over
the next several years. RFID tags contain a chip which
holds an electronic product code (EPC) number that
points to additional data detailing the contents of the
package. Readers identify the EPC numbers at a
distance, without line-of-sight scanning or involving
physical contact.

Middleware can perform initial filtering on data from
the readers. Applications are evolving to comply with
shipping products to automatically processing
transactions based on RFID technology RFID Reader
Module, are also called as interrogators. They convert
radio waves returned from the RFID tag into a form that
can be passed on to Controllers, which can make use of it.
RFID tags and readers have to be tuned to the same
frequency in order to communicate. RFID systems use
many different frequencies, but the most common and
widely used & supported by our Reader is 125 KHz.
Tags are classified into two types based on operating
power supply fed to it.
1. Active Tags
2. Passive Tags

Active Tags: These tags have integrated batteries for one master and seven slaves. The concept of Master and
powering the chip. Active Tags are powered by batteries Slave is used in the Bluetooth technology. Only after the
and either have to be recharged, have their batteries master takes the initial action, the devices can begin to
replaced or be disposed of when the batteries fail. talk. Bluetooth GloballD is exchanged among the
electronic devices and a connection is build up after the
Passive Tags: Passive tags are the tags that do not have profiles are matched. Get in-depth of Bluetooth Protocol
batteries and have indefinite life expectancies. Stack here. Frequency hopping is used in the Bluetooth
technology to avoid interfering with other signals. After
the packet is transmitted or received, the Bluetooth signal
hops to a new frequency. Each packet can cover five time
slots. The Bluetooth technology supports asynchronous
data channel, or 3 simultaneous synchronous voice
channels, or a channel which supports asynchronous data
and synchronous voice.

F. Bluetooth: Bluetooth is a wireless technology used to

transfer data between different electronic devices. The
distance of data transmission is small in comparison to
other modes of wireless communication. This technology
eradicates the use of cords, cables, adapters and permits
the electronic devices to communicate wirelessly among
each other.
The key features of Bluetooth technology:
 Less complication.
 Less power consumption.
 Available at cheaper rates.
 Robustness.

IV. SYSTEM SOFTWARE
The system first detects the RFID tag when it is
plugged in. otherwise it treat that outlet has no power
supply. Whenever power is available RFID communicates
to the Micro Controller Unit (MCU) then microcontroller
lighting the devices based on the demand. When device is
ON then the system start counts the power consumption
into account. In case of power off the system stops the
power consumption go the initial state and again start
from recognition of RFID tag.

Bluetooth technology was discovered to have wireless V. RESULTS OF EXPERMENT

protocols to connect several electronic devices and as a
solution to synchronize the data. The Bluetooth standard
is maintained by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group. At
the physical layer, the Bluetooth RF transceiver is
positioned. At around 79 Bluetooth channels are placed
with a space of 1MHz. Transmission of data and voice are
achievable at short distances and thereby creating
Wireless PANs.
A Bluetooth device is comprised of an adapter. A
Bluetooth adapter can be available in the form of a card to
connect the device or integrated into an electronic device.
Link Management Protocol (LMP) is responsible for peer
– to – peer message exchange when the electronic devices
interfere in each other’s radio range. This layer creates the
link and negotiation of packet size. If required this layer
can perform the segmentation and reassembling of the
packets. The Bluetooth device enabled by the Service
delivery protocol joins the piconet and enquires with all
the services available. A piconet has a star topology with

With the comparison of the other systems this system
gives the complete picture of the power consumption and
its time consumed by the particular devices. It also
provides the information about the devices or outlets
based on the time. It is possible with the interaction of
