 ABSTRACT

The phrase "home automation" relates to a home that uses a home

controller to connect the various home automation systems in the home. House security is
becoming progressively important as the potential for intrusion grows by the day. In our
research, we presented a component of smart home technology that uses Bluetooth in a
mobile device to make it easier and more efficient to use. It is also based on the Android
and Arduino platforms, which are both free and open source software. This research
proposed and demonstrates a locking mechanism automation system using a bluetooth-
enabled Android smartphone. The software development & hardware designed are
described first, followed by the design of a mobile application based on bluetooth for
locking and unlocking the door, the application will be password protected. The hardware
implementation for the door-lock system that includes an Android smart phone as the task
master, a Bluetooth module as the command agent, and an Arduino micro-controller as the
controller, and data processing centre, and a solenoid acts as a door lock system.

 1. SYSTEM ANALYSIS

1.1 EXISTING SYSTEM

They are all distinct in terms of design, features, devices, and algorithms. They are
generally intended to meet specific purposes and to make use of components that are
readily available in the relevant places. Some are inexpensive, while others are quite costly.
Working requires the availability of both gear and software. After a lengthy search, I
discovered a huge number of articles. While looking for publications on security, I came
across some projects for door security. The majority of these are carried out in Western
countries. Many Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects are solely for security purposes. Again,
the ideas are limited to using Arduino or Raspberry Pi to control home appliances. The
majority of earlier studies had issues with their design, particularly in terms of replicating
by others and component availability.

2
1.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM

This system receives input from an Android smartphone via the Arduino software,
the system necessitated the development of a programme that would be executed on the
microcontroller. The Arduino microcontroller's programming language is C. To run the
programme and integrate it into the microcontroller, software such as Arduino was
required. The circuit is tested to ensure that it has been installed correctly. With an LED
indicator that turns on in the microcontroller circuit to ensure that no components are
damaged. To open and lock the output, a relay and a solenoid are used. .

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM:

A secure smart door lock system based on Arduino and smartphone app offers
several advantages compared to traditional door lock systems. Here are some of the main
advantages of this system:

1. Increased security: The smart door lock system provides enhanced security compared
to traditional lock systems. The system uses a combination of Bluetooth connectivity and a
password-protected smartphone app to ensure that only authorized users can access the premises.
The app can also be programmed to send alerts to the user's smartphone in case of unauthorized
access attempts or suspicious activity.

2. Convenience: The smart door lock system eliminates the need for physical keys, which
can be easily lost or misplaced. With the smartphone app, users can easily lock or unlock the
door from anywhere, at any time. The app can also be programmed to automatically unlock the
door when the user is within a certain distance, eliminating the need to fumble for keys.

3. Customizable access: The smartphone app can be customized to provide different levels
of access to different users. For example, the app can be programmed to provide full access to
the homeowner, limited access to a housekeeper, and no access to a delivery person. This

3
customizable access control ensures that only authorized users can access the premises.

4. Remote control: The smartphone app allows users to remotely control the door lock
system from anywhere with an internet connection. This is particularly useful for homeowners
who want to grant access to their premises to friends, family, or service providers while they are
away.

5. Easy installation: The smart door lock system is relatively easy to install compared to
traditional lock systems. The system only requires a few hardware components, such as an
Arduino board, a Bluetooth module, and a servo motor, and can be programmed using open-
source software. This means that homeowners can install the system themselves, without the
need for professional installation services.

1.3 FEASIBILITY STUDY

A feasibility study is an essential step in determining whether a project is worth pursuing. In

the case of a secure smart door lock system based on Arduino and smartphone app, a feasibility
study can help determine the project's viability and identify potential challenges and risks. Here's a
brief feasibility study for this project:

1.3.1 ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY

The economic feasibility of the project depends on the cost of the hardware and software
components and the potential return on investment. The cost of the hardware components required
for the project is relatively low, and the development team can leverage open-source software to
reduce software development costs. The potential return on investment is difficult to quantify, but a
secure smart door lock system can provide value by enhancing the security and convenience of
premises, potentially increasing property value and rental income.

1.3.2 TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

The technical feasibility of the project depends on several factors, including the availability of
hardware and software components and the knowledge and skills of the development team. The
hardware components required for the project, including the Arduino board, Bluetooth module, and
servo motor, are readily available and relatively inexpensive. The development team must have
experience in programming Arduino boards and developing smartphone apps, making the project
technically feasible.

1.3.3 Operational Feasibility

The operational feasibility of the project depends on the ease of use of the smart door lock system
and the availability of technical support. The development team must ensure that the smartphone app
is user-friendly and easy to use, with clear instructions for installing and operating the system.
Additionally, the development team must provide technical support and troubleshooting assistance to
users in case of issues or malfunctions.

Overall, the feasibility study indicates that a secure smart door lock system based on Arduino and
smartphone app is technically, economically, legally, and operationally feasible. However, the
project may face challenges and risks, including hardware and software compatibility issues, data
privacy and security concerns, and technical difficulties during implementation and testing. The
development team must carefully consider these factors and plan accordingly to ensure the success
of the project.

 2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATION

2.1 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Arduino Software-

The new major release of the Arduino IDE

is faster and even more powerful! In addition to a more modern
editor and a more responsive interface it features
autocompletion, code navigation, and even a live debugger.

2.2 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:

The Arduino Nano is a small, complete,

and breadboard-friendly board based on the ATmega328
(Arduino Nano 3.x). It has more or less the same functionality
of the Arduino Duemilanove, but in a different package. It lacks
only a DC power jack, and works with a Mini-B USB cable
instead of a standard one.

HC -05 BLUETOOTH MODULE-

This small and cheap CSR BC417143

based wireless Bluetooth transceiver module is widely used in many
kinds of embedded projects. It is intended for serial communication
and preloaded with serial port profile (SPP) firmware.

7
RELAY DRIVER MODULE-

A power relay module is an electrical

switch that is operated by an electromagnet. The electromagnet is
activated by a separate low-power signal from a micro controller.
When activated, the electromagnet pulls to either open or close
an electrical circuit.

GND is the common ground pin.

VCC pin provides power to the module.

Control Pin:

IN pin is used to control the relay. This is an active low pin, which means that pulling it
LOW activates the relay and pulling it HIGH deactivates it.

Output Terminals:

COM terminal connects to the device you intend to control.

NC terminal is normally connected to the COM terminal, unless you activate the relay,
which breaks the connection.

NO terminal is normally open, unless you activate the relay that connects it to the COM
terminal.

SOLENOID LOCK-

The solenoid lock denotes a latch for electrical locking and unlocking. It
is available in unlocking in the power-on mode type, and locking and
keeping in the power-on mode type, which can be used selectively for
situations. The power-on unlocking type enables unlocking only while the
solenoid is powered on.

8
LCD-
LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. LCD is finding wide spread use replacing LEDs
(seven segment LEDs or other multi segment LEDs) because of the following reasons:
1. The declining prices of LCDs.
2. The ability to display numbers, characters and graphics. This is in contrast to LEDs, which
are limited to numbers and a few characters.
3. Incorporation of a refreshing controller into the LCD, thereby relieving the CPU of the
task of refreshing the LCD. In contrast, the LED must be refreshed by the CPU to keep displaying
the data.
4. Ease of programming for characters and graphics.
These components are “specialized” for being used with the microcontrollers, which means
that they cannot be activated by standard IC circuits. They are used for writing different messages on
a miniature LCD.

A model described here is for its low price and great possibilities most frequently used in
practice. It is based on the HD44780 microcontroller (Hitachi) and can display messages in two lines
with 16 characters each. It displays all the alphabets, Greek letters, punctuation marks, mathematical
symbols etc. In addition, it is possible to display symbols that user makes up on its own. Automatic
shifting message on display (shift left and right), appearance of the pointer, backlight etc. are
considered as useful characteristics.

LCD screen consists of two lines with 16 characters each. Each character consists of 5x7 dot
matrix. Contrast on display depends on the power supply voltage and whether messages are
displayed in one or two lines. For that reason, variable voltage 0-Vdd is applied on pin marked as
Vee. Trimmer potentiometer is usually used for that purpose. Some versions of displays have built in
backlight (blue or green diodes). When used during operating, a resistor for current limitation should
be used (like with any LE diode).
9
 LCD Basic Commands All data transferred to LCD through outputs D0-D7 will be
interpreted as commands or as data, which depends on logic state on pin RS: RS = 1 - Bits D0 - D7
are addresses of characters that should be displayed. Built in processor addresses built in “map of
characters” and displays corresponding symbols. Displaying position is determined by DDRAM
address. This address is either previously defined or the address of previously transferred character is
automatically incremented.
RS = 0 - Bits D0 - D7 are commands which determine display mode. List of commands
which LCD recognizes are given in the table below:

POWER SUPPLY

In this project we have power supplies with +5V & -5V option normally +5V is enough for
total circuit. Another (-5V) supply is used in case of OP amp circuit .Transformer primary side has
230/50HZ AC voltage whereas at the secondary winding the voltage is step downed to 12/50hz and
this voltage is rectified using two full wave rectifiers .the rectified output is given to a filter circuit to
filter the unwanted ac in the signal After that the output is again applied to a regulator LM7805(to
provide +5v) regulator.

 4.SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
Arduino uno Installation

In this we will get know of the process of installation of Arduino IDE and connecting
Arduino uno to Arduino IDE.

Step 1

First we must have our Arduino board (we can choose our favorite board) and a USB cable.
In case we use Arduino UNO, Arduino Duemilanove, Nano, Arduino Mega 2560, or
Diecimila, we will need a standard USB cable (A plug to B plug), t

In case we use Arduino Nano, we will need an A to Mini-B cable..

Step 2 − Download Arduino IDE Software. We can get different versions of Arduino
IDE from the Download page on the Arduino Official website. We must select wer
software, which is compatible with wer operating system (Windows, IOS, or Linux).
After wer file download is complete, unzip the file.

The Arduino Uno, Mega, Duemilanove and Arduino Nano automatically draw power from
either, the USB connection to the computer or an external power supply. If we are using an

17
Arduino Diecimila, we have to make sure that the board is configured to draw power from
the USB connection. The power source is selected with a jumper, a small piece of plastic
that fits onto two of the three pins between the USB and power jacks. Check that it is on
the two pins closest to the USB port.

Connect the Arduino board to were computer using the USB cable. The green power LED
(labeled PWR) should glow.

Step 4 − Launch Arduino IDE.

After our Arduino IDE software is downloaded, we need to unzip the folder. Inside the
folder, we can find the application icon with an infinity label (application.exe). Double-
click the icon to start the IDE.

Step 5 − Open our first project.

Once the software starts, we have two options

* Create a new project

18
Open an existing project example.

To create a new project, select File → New.

To open an existing project example, select File → Example → Basics → Blink.

Here, we are selecting just one of the examples with the name Blink. It turns the LED on
and off with some time delay. We can select any other example from the list.

Step 6 − Select our Arduino board.

19
 To avoid any error while uploading were program to the board, we must select the correct
Arduino board name, which matches with the board connected to were computer.

Go to Tools → Board and select were board.

Here, we have selected Arduino Uno board according to our tutorial, but we must select the
name matching the board that we are using.

Step 7 − Select were serial port.

Select the serial device of the Arduino board. Go to Tools → Serial Port menu. This is likely
to be COM3 or higher (COM1 and COM2 are usually reserved for hardware serial ports). To
find out, we can disconnect were Arduino board and re-open the menu, the entry that
disappears should be of the Arduino board. Reconnect the board and select that serial port.

20
Step 8 − Upload the program to were board.

Before explaining how we can upload our program to the board, we must demonstrate the
function of each symbol appearing in the Arduino IDE toolbar.

A − Used to check if there is any compilation error.

B − Used to upload a program to the Arduino board.

C − Shortcut used to create a new sketch.

D − Used to directly open one of the example sketch.

E − Used to save were sketch.

F − Serial monitor used to receive serial data from the board and send the serial data to the
board.

Now, simply click the "Upload" button in the environment. Wait a few seconds; we will see
the RX and TX LEDs on the board, flashing. If the upload is successful, the message "Done
uploading" will appear in the status bar.

Note − If we have an Arduino Mini, NG, or other board, we need to press the reset button
physically on the board, immediately before clicking the upload button on the Arduino
Software.

(one-time password), can provide an additional layer of security and prevent unauthorized
access.

7. Battery backup:

Adding a battery backup system can ensure the system continues to function in the
event of a power outage or other electrical disruptions.

In conclusion, the future enhancements discussed above can greatly enhance the functionality
and security of the secure smart door lock system based on Arduino and smartphone app. These
enhancements can be implemented through software or hardware upgrades, and they have the
potential to make the system even more reliable, secure, and convenient for users.
