Aim:
To facilitate home automation i.e. control of various home appliances and electronic devices using Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technology.
Motivation and Purpose:
Consider the following scenario or events which may occur while the owner is not at his home: 1. If the boiler or electric heater is left on which may lead to fire 2. Robbery or access to home by unauthorized persons 3. Loss of electricity and money due to the electric devices which are left open like fans, lights. Solution: The above unwanted situations may be checked and taken care of if a way is Implemented to monitor the home, even if the owner is physically absent from its premises. This can be achieved using GSM technology. Hence the main purpose of this project is to
ensure security with convenience in home (or office) without the necessity of the owner himself. the Communication through SMS (short message service), which act as control signals to the various devices. Here, we are using a GSM modem to interface the microcontroller (control device) with GSM device (mobile). The block diagram and components are given below:

The fire sensor and LDR are used to detect fire and light. ULN 2003 is used for driving currents (buffer) for showing status etc. Other components have their usual applications. and LCD is used as an interface between user and circuit
Applications and Future Prospects:
The above prototype will ensure efficiency in home automation and other advantages like saving of time and money. Some of its future applications may be achieved by adding a camera so as to monitor by actually viewing the place. Also, GSM technology may also be enhanced to control more advanced electronic devices like Robots(fire, metal detecting etc.)
