ABSTRACT
In the fast-paced life of the 21st century, computerization plays a crucial part in mortal life. Home computerization allows us
to control home electrical appliances like lights, doors, AC, etc. It also provides home security and allows an emergency system to be
activated. Home computerization refers to not only reducing fatal attempts but also increasing energy efficiency and saving time. The
main idea of home computerization and security is to help handicapped and elderly people by enabling them to control home
appliances and warn them in critical situations.

This design focuses on the implementation of home robotization and security systems using an Arduino microprocessor and an
Android smartphone. Home appliances are connected to the microprocessor, and communication is entrenched between the Arduino
and an Android mobile device or tablet via the Bluetooth module. It promotes system authentication for a sanctioned person to pierce
home appliances.

KEYWORDS: Home Automation, Microprocessor, Arduino, Bluetooth, Android mobile, Handicapped.

1. INTRODUCTION
Now a day’s homes require sophisticated control of their different gadgets which are electronic appliances. This has
transformed the area of home automation with a concerning increase in affordability and simplicity through the integration of home
appliances with smartphone and tablet connectivity. Smartphones are already perfect and can be made to communicate with any other
device in an ad hoc network with a connectivity option like Bluetooth. With the rise of mobile phones, mobile application
development has seen a major outbreak.
Smart home automation started a long time ago, and the concept was used based on the smart home association. It involves the
network's integration of technologies and services. Both the quantity of data sent online and the number of devices with internet access
have increased. Hence, there will be around 22.5 billion connected devices by the end of 2021. (Andrew, 2016).
The smart home application is going to be widely used, aiming to make people’s lives easier and more relaxed. For example, imagine
that people driving home in the summer will be able to turn the AC on before reaching home using their smartphone, rather than
turning the AC on after they reach home. Home automation and smart home technology will therefore be major trends in the coming
years.

1.1 OBJECTIVE
The main objective of this proposed system is to develop a smart home automation system using an Arduino board with Bluetooth
that can be remotely controlled by an Android OS smartphone. It has a natural language interface where users can use different
languages to give commands.

1.2 SCOPE
The proposed system's scope is to assist the elderly, blind, or visually impaired by providing voice commands to turn on and off lights
and fans using an Android phone rather than traditional switchboards. This project provides a way to interact more easily with the
Android app.

3. EXISTING SYSTEM
In the existing system, home appliances are controlled through Zigbee and other devices. Yet, they are confined to a specific
region. In the proposed system, home appliances can be controlled using an Android phone to give commands with a natural language
interface. DTMF can also be used, but it isn’t practical and is unreliable.

3.1 DISADVANTAGES
• Long-distance communication is not done
• No Android application is involved so we cannot operate from long ranges.

4. PROPOSED METHOD
In day-to-day life, many old aged people are unable to do basic things like switching off lights, fans, and some other home appliances.
And for this thing, they should be dependent on someone. So, using our system, we easily controlled home appliances using an
android phone. So, they can be used by everyone, not just by particular people. The commands can be given in different languages.

4.1 ADVANTAGES

• Portable
• Low cost
• The equipment is easy to use because we can operate it from a distance.
• Faster operation and efficiency.
• No need to carry a separate remote or any other controlling unit.

INPUT MODULE:
In the input module, there are two steps the first one is used to give voice commands in different languages to the android
Bluetooth application. The application sends that command to the Bluetooth device which is interfaced with Arduino.

PROCESSING MODULE:
When the Bluetooth module receives a command from the Android Bluetooth application, that command is sent to the
Arduino. Then the Arduino checks the command to see if it is valid. It performs command operations like turning the light on or off
and turning a fan on or off by switching the relay on or off.

OUTPUT MODULE:
When the Arduino executes the command, the result is displayed on the LCD. Then Arduino turns the relay on the home
appliances, which take the power from the source, and the load is activated. If the Arduino turns the relay off, then the load is
deactivated.

7. CONCLUSION
The conclusion of the proposed system is that a home automation system is a very useful project for adults and physically disabled
persons who are not able to do various activities efficiently when they are at home and need an assistant to perform those tasks. It is
easy to use. The functionality of the system is easy to understand.
