SYSTEM Android Project

This Proposal is for “Home Automation and Security System” Final Year
Project and Partial Fulfillment by using Requirements and Following all
Methods of Software Engineering I and Software Engineering II Course in
Computer Science Department at Barani Institute of Management
Sciences. We use all these Methodologies of Software Engineering to get
Reliable, Maintainable and Secure Software. Our Software is Customized
Software Based on Clients or Customers Demand.
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction:
Automation is term used to define things are doing work by
electronically and mechanically by pressing just one button on a remote or
any other mobile device. Now a day we can automate hardware devices
through Android software. We can operate equipment’s such as large
machinery, home appliances and even detect temperature through
sensors. Communication is required as a host for these systems such as
Wi-Fi, GSM, Bluetooth, and ZigBee and is configured by different
controlling devices.
1.2 Scope:
We are creating this application instead of any remote for automation
because every person have their personal android phone and they can
easily control their home appliances and security system for their home,
and sometimes remote device is misplaced or destroyed. Another reason is
that remote device is hard to carry when you are outside from home but
your personal phone is always with you. So users can easily control home
automation appliances and security-based system through one application
through their android mobile phone. So technology is in your one hand in
your one app.
1.3 Overview:
The remaining section includes the following sections:
Section 2: Project management tells us about the model which is used in
making the application or system.
Section 3: A specific requirement includes external interface requirements,
functional and non-functional requirements.
Section 4: Design analysis includes the processor classes of our system.
Section 5: Testing includes all the testing of our modules and codes of the
system to make the system run and check errors.
Section 6: user manual includes the interfaces of an application.
Section 7:
Conclusion includes the end products solution and a summary of
our project
1.4 Background and Existing System:
Home automation plays a very important role in the modern era because of
its flexibility in using it at different places so it will save money and time by
decreasing human hard work. The focus of this technology is to control the
household equipment’s like light, fan, door, AC etc. automatically. Some
systems are also discovered like if a person will enter into the house then
the count of the number of persons entering in the house will be
incremented, in Home Automation mode appliances will be turned on and
security light will be turned on along with the alarm. The count of the
number of persons entering the house is also displayed on the LCD screen.
In Home Automation mode when the room will become empty i.e. the count
of persons reduces to zero then the appliances will be turned off making
the system power efficiency. Another system was also designed if anyone
enters in the home while security mode is on an SMS will be sent to house
owner’s mobile phone which will indicate the presence of a person inside
the house. The alarm can be turned on using an Android application. A
remotely accessible environment is an environment in which each home
appliances can be remotely accessed and controlled using a software as
an interface, which includes an Android application or a Web application.
Such remotely accessible systems are already available in the market but
have a number of drawbacks as well. The aim of this project is to control
home appliances remotely and will also enable home security against
intrusion in the absence of homeowner. Home security has been a major issue
where crime is increasing and everybody.
wants to take proper measures to prevent intrusion. The system uses
latest wireless communication like Bluetooth, Infrared and Wi-Fi access to
the system for security and automated appliance control. Analysis and
implementation of the home automation technology using Global System
for Mobile Communication (GSM) modem to control home appliances such
as light, conditional system, and security system via Short Message
Service (SMS) text message. The security system through web camera,
installed in-house premises, which is operated by software installed on the
PC and it uses the Internet for communication. The camera detects motion
of an intruder in front of the camera dimensions or camera range. The
software communicates to the intended user through Internet network and
at the same time, it gives a sound alert. Another security system is SMS
based and uses GSM technology to send the SMS to the owner.
Problem statement:
 Our main focus is on home automation and security system to automate
home appliances and providing security to our home. A single Application
will allow us to use Home Automation and Home Security. Previously
separate applications were used for Home Automation and Home Security
System so we are solving this issue by using android app which will have
all these functionalities within a single application. This android based
system will allow us to control the lights and fan on/off, smoke detector will
warn us for burning mishaps by deactivating the main power line, we can
see our room temperature on our smart mobile screen, we can open or
close our sliding home main gate, we can activate the security sensors of
our home through one app by enabling it from smart mobile phone on
need.
1.5 Product Functions:
For Home Automation:
 Home Appliances such as Lights and Fans on/off.
 Automation of Sliding Home Main Gate as open and close.
 Temperature Sensor.
 Smoke Detection.
For Security:
 Sensor-based IR(infrared) Security system
It provides security when any wrong activity performs the sensors detect
and send a message to your mobile phones even when you are not at
home.
1.6 User Characteristics:
Our app Auto Homedroid and Security is developed for the users home
members, for a specific place, in offices. They can easily automate their
home appliances.
1.7 General Constraints:
Our app is only applicable on android phones
1.8 Assumptions and Dependencies:
Our application is an android based app and it will only work on
the android mobile phone and not suitable for window phones and IOS. Our
software is customized software made on demand of customers and
clients. This software is not free and has some cost.
1.9 Main Modules:
 Cell phone android application:
Our application for home automation and the security system was installed
on an android cellphone as it was not applicable for window phones and
IOS.
 GSM module:
GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) is a digital mobile
telephony system and a protocol is used for mobile communication and it is
also used for the communication between two devices. In our project, it
communicates the mobile with another device Arduino.
