ABSTRACT

Among most of trending topics, home automation is one the eye-catching concept where R&D is happening at a very high
rate.

If we are talking about home automation, we will obviously go for wireless communication like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi technology,
GSM technology.

Among these things most effective communication is GSM, because it can be operated from very long distance and Output
will be very accurate because we are going to control all the household devices by an SMS using GSM modem.

This modem uses a SIM card and operates through a subscription with the mobile operator. GSM is generally called as
Modem (Global System for Mobile Communications). It is a wireless communication module, which will be used to
communicate with a computer or processor over the network.

The GSM modem uses a variation of TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) which is most commonly used of the digital
wireless telephony technologies like TDMA, GSM and CDMA. 
As we know mobile phones are the revolutionary invention of the century. It was primarily designed for making and
receiving calls & text messages, but it has become the whole world after the Smart phone comes into the picture.

Here, in this project we are going to design a home automation system, where one can control the home appliances, using
the simple GSM based phone, just by sending SMS through his/her phone.

In this project, we can just use the old GSM phone also it will work to switch ON and OFF any home electronic appliances,
from anywhere.

Now we can control devices from a large distance which mean very large distance also. This project is based on GSM
module which in our case SIM900A.

The devices switch on and off when the GSM module receives specified messages.

DESCRIPTION OF
COMPONENTS:-
 Arduino UNO :
 Arduino is a single-board microcontroller meant to make the application
more accessible which are interactive objects and its surroundings.
 Current models consists a USB interface, 6 analog input pins and 14
digital I/O pins that allows the user to attach various extension boards.
 The Arduino Uno board is a microcontroller based on the ATmega328.
It has 14 digital input/output pins in which 6 can be used as PWM
outputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, an ICSP header, a USB
connection, 6 analog inputs, a power jack and a reset button. 
 Barrel connector or USB connector used to power up the Arduino uno
board.
GSM module

 SIM900A Modem can work with any GSM network operator SIM
card just like a mobile phone with its own unique phone number.
 Applications like SMS Control, data transfer, remote control and
logging can be developed. SIM900 modem supports features like
voice call, SMS, Data/Fax, GPRS etc.
 SIM900A modem uses AT commands to work with supported features.
 This board requires external power supply of ~12V and can draw up to
~2A of current at its peak.
 There are certain indicators that show GSM module is working or not.
4-channel Relay module

 The relay module is an electrically operated switch that

allows you to turn on or off a circuit using voltage and/or
current much higher than a microcontroller could handle.
 There is no connection between the low voltage circuit
operated by the microcontroller and the high-power circuit.
 The relay protects each circuit from each other. Each
channel in the module has three connections named NC,
COM, and NO.
 Depending on application and function relays varies,
 There are electromagnetic relays, static relays etc..
 Depending on inputs SPDT, SPST, DPDT, DPST relays are
available in the market.

WORKING

 This GSM module works on AT commands.

 The UART pins of GSM module are connected to UART pins of Arduino.
 UART pins are Rx,Tx.
 Through the mobile we send the commands to gsm module.
 These commands were processed by Arduino and resultant output voltages
are supplied through relay.
 We use SPDT relay channel to switch on/off the home appliances.
 Thus a communication medium is established between the mobile and our
home appliances through GSM module.

FUTURE SCOPE

Using GSM module and sending text message may cost charges so an interface can be
developed for communication of Arduino with a mobile phone.

A GUI can be made which shows a blueprint of the room in which appliances like lights
and fans can be controlled by touching them on the screen. A feedback mechanism or
a power consumption mechanism can be added which shows the current status of
appliances and power consumed by them.

For a small demonstration purpose a LCD screen is attached which shows the status of
appliances i.e ON or OFF.
