Abstract
We are living in 21st century where automation of any form i.e. home or industrial plays
an important role in human life. When it comes to industrial automation, the concept is
applied to large machines or robots which help in increasing the efficiency in terms of
production, energy and time. Home automation on the other hand involves automating the
household environment. This is possible because of the smartphones and internet that we
are widely using. Home automation can be again divided in to just controlling the
appliances using a smartphone from a remote location and another type filled with
sensors and actuators which controls the lighting, temperature, door locks, electronic
gadgets, electrical appliances etc. using a “Smart” system.
The main objective of this project is to develop a home automation system using an
Arduino board with Bluetooth being remotely controlled by any Android OS smart
phone. As technology is advancing so houses are also getting smarter. Modern houses are
gradually shifting from conventional switches to centralized control system, involving
remote controlled switches. Presently, conventional wall switches located in different
parts of the house makes it difficult for the user to go near them to operate. Even more it
becomes more difficult for the elderly or physically handicapped people to do so. Remote
controlled home automation system provides a most modern solution with smart phones.
In order to achieve this, a Bluetooth module is interfaced to the Arduino board at the
receiver end while on the transmitter end, a GUI application on the cell phone sends
ON/OFF commands to the receiver where loads are connected. By touching the specified
location on the GUI, the loads can be turned ON/OFF remotely through this technology.
The loads are operated by Arduino board through up to - isolators and thyristors using
triacs.

INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, we have remote controls for our television sets and other electronic systems,
which have made our lives real easy. Have you ever wondered about home automation
which would give the facility of controlling tube lights, fans and other electrical
appliances at home using a remote control? Off-course, Yes! But, are the available
options cost-effective? If the answer is No, we have found a solution to it. We have come
up with a new system called Arduino based home automation using Bluetooth. This
system is super-cost effective and can give the user, the ability to control any electronic
device without even spending for a remote control. This project helps the user to control
all the electronic devices using his/her smartphone. Time is a very valuable thing.
Everybody wants to save time as much as they can. New technologies are being
introduced to save our time. To save people’s time we are introducing Home Automation
system using Bluetooth. With the help of this system you can control your home
appliances from your mobile phone. You can turn on/off your home appliances within the
range of Bluetooth.

1.1 Project Aim
The aim of the project is to design and construct a home automation system that will
remotely switch on or off any household appliances connected to it, using a
microcontroller, voice dial on phone, or Bluetooth based android application.
1.2 Project Objective
The objective of this project is to implement a low cost, reliable and scalable home
automation system that can be used to remotely switch on or off any household appliance,
using a microcontroller to achieve hardware simplicity, low cost short messaging service
for feedback and voice dial from any phone to toggle the switch state.
1.3 Project scope and limitation
This project work is complete on its own in remotely and automatically switching on or
off of an electrical appliance not limited to household appliances and sends a feedback
message indicating the new present state of the appliance.
1.4 Description of the Project
This project is one of the important Arduino Projects. Arduino based home automation
using Bluetooth project helps the user to control any electronic device using Device
Control app on their Android Smartphone. The android app sends commands to the
controller – Arduino, through wireless communication, namely, Bluetooth. The Arduino
is connected to the main PCB which has FOUR relays as shown in the block diagram.
These relays can be connected to different electronic devices. As per the block diagram,
Device 1 – Buzzer, Device 2- Fan, Device 3 – Lights. When the user presses on the ‘On’
button displayed on the app for the device 1, the Buzzer is switched on. This Buzzer can
be switched off, by pressing the same button again. Similarly, when the user presses on
the ‘On’ button displayed on the app for the device 2, the fan is switched on. The fan can
be switched off, by pressing the same button again. This project of home automation
using Bluetooth and Arduino can be used for controlling any AC or DC devices. In the
demonstration, we have used DC Fan and DC Bulb. To drive this DC Fan and Light, a 9V
battery is connected.

Description of Hardware Required
3.1 Arduino Uno:-
Arduino is open-source computer hardware and software company, project and user
community that designs and manufactures ingle-board microcontrollers and
microcontroller kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and
control objects in the physical and digital world. The project's products are distributed as
open-source hardware and software, which are licensed under the GNU Lesser General
Public License (LGPL) or the GNU General Public License (GPL), permitting the
manufacture of Arduino boards and software distribution by anyone. Arduino boards are
available commercially in preassembled form or as do-it-yourself (DIY) kits. Arduino
board designs use a variety of microprocessors and controllers. The boards are equipped
with sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O) pins that may be interfaced to various
expansion boards or breadboards (shields) an other circuits. The boards feature serial
communications interfaces, including Universal Serial Bus (USB) on some models, which
are also used for loading programs from personal computers. The microcontrollers are
typically programmed using a dialect of features from the programming languages C and
C++. In addition to using traditional compiler tool chains, the Arduino project provides an
integrated development environment (IDE) based on the Processing language project. The
Arduino project started in 2003 as a program for students at the Interaction Design
Institute Ivrea in Ivrea, Italy, aiming to provide a low-cost and easy way for novices and
professionals to create devices that interact with their environment using sensors and
actuators. Common examples of such devices intended for beginner hobbyists include
simple robots, thermostats and motion detectors. The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller
board based on the ATmega328P. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be
used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a
power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support
the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with an
AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Uno differs from all preceding boards in
that it does not use the FTDI USB-to- serial driver chip. Instead, it features the
Atmega8U2 programmed as a USB-to- serial converter.

11
3.1.1 Hardware
Arduino is open-source hardware. The hardware reference designs are distributed under a
Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 2.5 license and are available on the Arduino
website. Layout and production files for some versions of the hardware are also available.
Although the hardware and software designs are freely available under copy left licenses,
the developers have requested the name Arduino to be exclusive to the official product
and not be used for derived works without permission. The official policy document on
use of the Arduino name emphasizes that the project is open to incorporating work by
others into the official product. Several Arduino-compatible products commercially
released have avoided the project name by using various names ending in-duino.
An early Arduino board with an RS-232 serial interface (upper left) and an Atmel
ATmega8 microcontroller chip (black, lower right); the 14 digital I/O pins are at the top,
the 6 analog input pins at the lower right, and the power connector at the lower left.
Most Arduino boards consist of an Atmel 8-bit AVR microcontroller (ATmega8,
ATmega168, ATmega328, ATmega1280, ATmega2560) with varying amounts of flash
memory, pins, and features. The 32-bit Arduino Due, based on the Atmel SAM3X8E was
introduced in 2012.
The boards use single or double-row pins or female headers that facilitate connections for
programming and incorporation into other circuits. These may connect with add-on
modules termed shields. Multiple and possibly stacked shields may be individually
addressable via an I²C serial bus. Most boards include a 5 V linear regulator and a 16
MHz crystal oscillator or ceramic resonator. Some designs, such as the Lily Pad, run at 8
MHz and dispense with the onboard voltage regulator due to specific form-factor
restrictions.
Arduino microcontrollers are pre-programmed with a boot loader that simplifies
uploading of programs to the on-chip flash memory. The default bootloader of the
Arduino UNO is the optiboot bootloader. [28] Boards are loaded with program code via a
serial connection to another computer. Some serial Arduino boards contain a level shifter
circuit to convert between RS-232 logic levels and transistor–transistor logic (TTL) level
signals. Current Arduino boards are programmed via Universal Serial Bus (USB),
implemented using USB-to-serial adapter chips such as the FTDI FT232. Some boards,
such as later-model Uno boards, substitute the FTDI chip with a separate AVR chip
containing USB-to-serial firmware, which is reprogrammable via its own ICSP header.

12
Other variants, such as the Arduino Mini and the unofficial Boarding, use a detachable
USB-to-serial adapter board or cable, Bluetooth or other methods. When used with
traditional microcontroller tools, instead of the Arduino IDE, standard AVR in-system
programming (ISP) programming is used.
An official Arduino Uno R2 with descriptions of the I/O locations. The Arduino board
exposes most of the microcontroller's I/O pins for use by other circuits. The Decimal,
Duemilanove, and current Uno provide 14 digital I/O pins, six of which can produce
pulse-width modulated signals, and six analog inputs, which can also be used as six
digital I/O pins. These pins are on the top of the board, via female 0.1-inch (2.54 mm)
headers. Several plug-in application shields are also commercially available. The Arduino
Nano, and Arduino-compatible Bare Bones Board and Boarduino boards may provide
male header pins on the underside of the board that can plug into solderless breadboards.
Many Arduino-compatible and Arduino-derived boards exist. Some are functionally
equivalent to an Arduino and can be used interchangeably. Many enhance the basic
Arduino by adding output drivers, often for use in school-level education, to simplify
making buggies and small robots. Others are electrically equivalent but change the form
factor, sometimes retaining compatibility with shields, sometimes not. Some variants use
different processors, of varying compatibility.

3.1.3 Communication
Arduino can be used to communicate with a computer, another Arduino board or other
microcontrollers. The ATmega328P microcontroller provides UART TTL (5V) serial
communication which can be done using digital pin 0 (Rx) and digital pin 1 (TX). An
ATmega16U2 on the board channels this serial communication over USB and appears as
a virtual com port to software on the computer. The ATmega16U2 firmware uses the
standard USB COM drivers, and no external driver is needed. However, on Windows, an
.inf file is required. The Arduino software includes a serial monitor which allows simple
textual data to be sent to and from the Arduino board. There are two RX and TX LEDs on
the Arduino board which will flash when data is being transmitted via the USB-to-serial
chip and USB connection to the computer (not for serial communication on pins 0 and 1).
A Software Serial library allows for serial communication on any of the Uno's digital
pins. The ATmega328P also supports I2C (TWI) and SPI communication. The Arduino
software includes a Wire library to simplify use of the I2C bus.

3.2.3 Applications
As of 2013 the ATmega328 is commonly used in many projects and autonomous systems
where a simple, low-powered, low-cost micro-controller is needed [citation needed].
Perhaps the most common implementation of this chip is on the popular Arduino
development platform, namely the Arduino Uno and Arduino Nano models.

3.3 HC-05 Bluetooth Module
HC-05 module is an easy to use Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Protocol) module, designed
for transparent wireless serial connection setup. Serial port Bluetooth module is fully
qualified Bluetooth V2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) 3Mbps Modulation with complete
2.4GHz radio transceiver and baseband. It uses CSR Bluecore 04-External single chip
Bluetooth system with CMOS technology and with AFH (Adaptive Frequency Hopping
Feature). It has the footprint as small as 12.7mmx27mm. Hope it will simplify your
overall design/development cycleHC-05.
The HC-05 is a very cool module which can add two-way (full-duplex) wireless
functionality to your projects. You can use this module to communicate between two
microcontrollers like Arduino or communicate with any device with Bluetooth
functionality like a Phone or Laptop. There are many android applications that are already
available which makes this process a lot easier. The module communicates with the help
of USART at 9600 baud rate hence it is easy to interface with any microcontroller that
supports USART. We can also configure the default values of the module by using the
command mode. So if you looking for a Wireless module that could transfer data from
your computer or mobile phone to microcontroller or vice versa then this module might
be the right choice for you. However do not expect this module to transfer multimedia
like photos or songs; you might have to look into the CSR8645 module for that.

20
3.3.1 Use the HC-05 Bluetooth module
The HC-05 has two operating modes, one is the Data mode in which it can send and
receive data from other Bluetooth devices and the other is the AT Command mode where
the default device settings can be changed. We can operate the device in either of these
two modes by using the key pin as explained in the pin description.
It is very easy to pair the HC-05 module with microcontrollers because it operates using
the Serial Port Protocol (SPP). Simply power the module with +5V and connect the Rx
pin of the module to the TX of MCU and TX pin of module to Rx of MCU as shown in
the figure below
3.3.2 HC-05 Bluetooth Module Circuit Connections
During power up the key pin can be grounded to enter into Command mode, if left free it
will by default enter into the data mode. As soon as the module is powered you should be
able to discover the Bluetooth device as “HC-05” then connect with it using the default
password 1234 and start communicating with it. The name password and other default
parameters can be changed by entering into the application.

21
3.3.3 Applications
1. Wireless communication between two microcontrollers
2. Communicate with Laptop, Desktops and mobile phones
3. Data Logging application
4. Consumer applications
5. Wireless Robots
6. Home Automation
3.3.4 HC-05 Bluetooth Module Interfacing with Arduino UNO
HC-05 is a Bluetooth device used for wireless communication with Bluetooth enabled
devices (like smartphone). It communicates with microcontrollers using serial
communication (USART). Default settings of HC-05 Bluetooth module can be changed
using certain AT commands. As HC-05 Bluetooth module has 3.3 V level for RX/TX and
microcontroller can detect 3.3 V level, so, there is no need to shift TX voltage level of
HC-05 module. But we need to shift the transmit voltage level from microcontroller to
RX of HC- 05 module.

22
3.4 4-channel relay module
This is a 5V 4-channel relay interface board, and each channel needs a 15-20mA driver
current. It can be used to control various appliances and equipment with large current. It
is equiped with high-current relays that work under AC250V 10A or DC30V 10A. It has
a standard interface that can be controlled directly by microcontroller
3.4.1 Principle
From the picture below, you can see that when the signal port is at low level, the signal
light will light up and the optocoupler 7817c (it transforms electrical signals by light and
can isolate input and output electrical signals) will conduct, and then the transistor will
conduct, the relay coil will be electrified, and the normally open contact of the relay will
be closed. When the signal port is at high level, the normally closed contact of the relay
will be closed. So you can connect and disconnect the load by controlling the level of the
control signal port.

6. Pros of Home Automation
1. Security
Tap your finger to turn on the lights when you get home so you worried about what’s
hiding in the shadows, or in your pathways. Or automate to turn on when you aren’t
home to look like you are to ward off potential robbers. Door locks are another
automated home product that can increase your home security.
2. Energy Efficiency
Increase your home’s energy efficiency by remotely powering off systems and
appliances when they aren’t in use. In addition to the standard home automation products
that give you active control, some products actively monitor systems and arm the
homeowner with knowledge, insight and guidance to achieve greater control and energy
efficiency.
3. Savings
Home automation literally pays off. When you are able to use home systems and
appliances only when needed, the savings will be apparent in the first utility bill. No more
wasting money on lights left on when you aren’t home, or spending money on gas to
drive home because you forgot to lock the door. Monetary savings are apparent, but
you’ll also be saving time. No wasted trips home, no running through the house turning
everything off, no time spent worrying about what was or wasn’t turned off.
4. Convenience
Don’t you hate having to rely on neighbors to watch your house when you’re gone? With
home automation, convenient control of your home is at your fingertips. You don’t have
to trust someone else with your most valued possessions.

33
Cons of Home Automation
1. Cost of Intelligence
Installing state-of-the-art features inside home results in a higher price tag for the
property. The cost of an intelligent home that makes our lives convenient is high because
some of the technology is relatively new. The cost of living expenses such as utilities,
maintenance and repair of the technology can be expensive as well.
2. Technology Learning Curve
Owning a smart home means having to learn how to use your home. Unlike traditional
homes, smart home technology requires you to adapt to the innovations within your living
area such as security systems, air units and a remote that controls your entire house. For
the technology-savvy family, the smart home will help achieve convenience faster, but for
others, it will take reading manuals and learning how-to before the benefits of
convenience pay off.
3. Video Surveillance
Video surveillance can be a wonderful tool in heightening security and deterring crime,
but when the technology falls into the wrong hands, issues of privacy can occur. Security
sensors within the doors and walls of a smart home use wireless technology to transfer
signals to a central control unit that notifies emergency officials of any foreign activity.

34
6.1 Applications Of This Project
1. Using this project, we can turn on or off appliances remotely i.e. using a phone or
tablet.
2. The project can be further expanded to a smart home automation system by
including some sensors like light sensors, temperature sensors, safety sensors etc. and
automatically adjust different parameters like room lighting, air conditioning (room
temperature), door locks etc. and transmit the information to our phone
3. Additionally, we can connect to internet and control the home from remote location
over internet and also monitor the safety. Future Development of the project.
4. Arduino based device control using Bluetooth on Smartphone project can be
enhanced to control the speed of the fan or volume of the buzzer etc.
5. Home automation and Device controlling can be done using Internet of Things –
IOT technology.

Conclusion
The home automation system has been experimentally proven to work satisfactorily by
connecting sample appliances to it and the appliances were successfully controlled from a
wireless mobile device. We learned many skills such as soldering, wiring the circuit and
other tools that we use for this project and was able to work together as a team during this
project. The Bluetooth client was successfully tested on a multitude of different mobile
phones from different manufacturers, thus proving its portability and wide compatibility.
Thus a low-cost home automation system was successfully designed, implemented and
tested.
