MICROCONTROLLER BASED HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM with gsm connectivity

AIM OF PROJECT: With advancement of technology things are becoming simpler and easier for us. Automatic systems are being preferred over manual system. Through this project I have tried to show automatic control of a house as a result of which power is saved to some extent.

Description of each part is given below: i) IR Transmitter: IR Transmitters continuously transmits the infrared rays through a IR LED up to 38 KHz. We will use 555 timer to generate 38 KHz. IR Receiver: IR Receiver receive the reflected infrared rays through IR Receiver (HIM702).The output of IR Receiver is normally high but when it detects the IR rays this output becomes low or we can say it is active low. The output of IR receiver is connected with pin of microcontroller. When microcontroller detects this active low signal it increments or decrements the counter on entry and exit of human being. iii) Control Unit: Microcontroller is used to control our hardware using programs which we make according to our requirement. In our project the device connected with the microcontroller are: a) IR Receiver b) Display unit c) temperature monitoring unit d) Relay drive unit. With the detection of active low signal from IR receiver controller increments the counter and drive the relay unit. Output of ADC given to microcontroller and as per our requirement controller controls the hardware according to temperature condition and side by side it displays the temperature in decimal number system on LCD. iv) Display Unit: LCD is used for display purpose. It stands for Liquid crystal display. These are finding widespread use in various applications. They are preferred because of ease of programming for characters and numbers. v) Temperature Monitoring Unit: It consists of two components: A) Temperature Sensor: ii)

In our environment all the quantities like temperature, humidity; pressure, velocity etc are available in analog form. To control and measure these quantities we must first convert these quantities into electrical voltage. Sensor is nothing but a transducer which converts any form of energy into electrical energy. In our case temperature sensor convert temperature into corresponding voltage. B) Analog to Digital Converter: Analog to digital converter are among the most widely used devices for data acquisition. Digital computers use binary (discreet) values but in physical world everything is analog (continuous).Temperature, pressure, humidity and velocity are few examples of physical quantities that we deal with everyday. Although there are sensors for temperature, velocity, pressure, light and many other natural quantities ,they produce an output that is voltage(or current).Therefore, we need analog-to-digital converter to translate the analog signals to digital numbers so that the microcontroller can read them. vi) Relay Drive Unit: It consists of relay and accessories required to drive relay. The driving voltage of relay comes from microcontroller when the situation according to temperature increases from its expected range. vii) Automatic Light Switching Unit: The parts of this unit are LDR , power and relay unit and Light unit. The power supply to light unit is dependent on the presence of light and this presence of light is detected by LDR. Fire and smoke alarm : this part detect any fire or smoke from fire and set a alarm. The parts of this unit are LDR , power and relay unit and Light unit. The power supply to light unit is dependent on the presence of light and this presence of light is detected by LDR. GSM Interface: This part is responsible for accessing the applications remotely and wirelessly as well. It utilizes the service of GSM communication for the control purpose. One GSM transmitting module is used for transmission of codes and the receiver module will decode it to perform the application.
