Introduction:

Project Description:

This project has integration of

Android mobile technology and
embedded system. Android mobile
user has to install an application on
his mobile handset to control the
devices. Then he she can give
command using the buttons on that
application. For this you have to turn
on the Bluetooth on mobile, so the
main wireless controlling technique
used in this project is Bluetooth
technology. Bluetooth receiver will
be connected to the project. This
Bluetooth device is connected to the
circuit which has a decoder. It sends
out a code for respective command
sent by user. Then the respective
device connected to the circuit will
be turned on or off depending on the
command given. For example: Turn
on light, Turn off light. Turn on fan
etc. Such that by giving commands
from mobile you can control home
appliances.

This project mainly consists of

following blocks 1. Android mobile
2. Bluetooth receiver unit 3.
Microcontroller 4.Power supply unit
5. LCD Display 6. Relays 7.
Output devices.

Android:
Android by simple definition, is an
operating system for many mobile
phones. Android is a customizable
platform that can look and feel very
different on every different handsets.
Android gives us tools for creating
apps that looks great and take more
advantage
of
the
hardware
capabilities available on each
device. Android is mainly based on
Linux operating system which uses
java- like languages for running
applications. The purpose of use of
android in our project is to send the
control signals from smart phone
through bluetooth.

Bluetooth:

Advantages:

Module Bluetooth was selected as

our way of communicating mobile
with a central system. Bluetooth
module receives the data serially in
RS232 format from controller and
sends it to wireless network. For
interfacing it with microcontroller
we need to build the circuit because
Bluetooth module understands data
in RS232 standard and controller
understands data in TTL format. So
we need to design circuit to make
these two compatible with each
other.

1.Can control device from a long

distance, thus it gives ease of access.
2. Faster operation and efficient. 3.
No need to carry separate remote or
any other controlling unit.

Microcontroller:
8051 Microcontroller can be used as
the brain to control a large variety
of products, in order to control large
devices. In our project we used 8051
microcontroller.
The
8051
microcontroller communicates with
the Bluetooth module . The serial
control command send through the
smart phone is received by the
Bluetooth module and processed by
8051
microcontroller.
The
corresponding port pins are enabled
to switch on and off appliances.

power supply unit:

Regulated power supply is used to
provide desired dc power to the
8051 microcontroller.

Relay:
The relay device is used with the
household electronic or electrical
appliances which acts as ON & OFF
switch.

Future scope:
This project can be further
developed by integrating it with the
internet to monitor your home while
sitting in a remote area. By doing
this, one can keep an eye on his or
her home through an internet
connected to the users mobile
phone or PC or laptop. This will not
only improve the security of your
home in this modern day.

Applications:
1.Home automation - This project
can be used to control various
devices in the Home
2. Can also be used for security
purpose after modification (we can
control gate system or we can
interface wireless camera and can
control it using our mobile) .

Conclusion:
The objective of this paper is to
realize the low cost system which
designed to improve the standard
living in home. The system has been
successfullydesigned and prototyped
to monitor and control the lighting
status using an Android. The cost is
also affordable.
