1.1 Introduction:
Nowadays, we have remote controls for our television sets and other electronic systems, which
have made our lives real easy. Have you ever wondered about home automation which would
give the facility of controlling tube lights, fans and other electrical appliances at home using a
remote control? Off-course, Yes! But, are the available options cost-effective? If the answer is
No, we have found a solution to it. We have come up with a new system called Arduino based
home automation using a PIR sensor. This system is super-cost effective and can give the user
the ability to control any electronic device without even spending for a remote control. This
project helps the user to control all the electronic devices just by the motion of anybody in
front of the sensor. Time is a very valuable thing. Everybody wants to save time as much as
they can. New technologies are being introduced to save our time.
Hardware Components Used:
● Relay Module
● PIR Sensor
● Resistors
● Transistors
● Arduino UNO
● LED light bulb
● Protecting diode
Code for Arduino:
Int Pir = 4
Int bulb = 8
Void setup(){
pinMode(pir, INPUT);
pinMode(bulb, OUTPUT);
}
Void loop(){
if(digitalRead(pir)==HIGH){
digitalWrite(bulb, HIGH);
delay(5000);
}
Else{
digitalWrite(bulb, LOW);
}
}

Future Scope:
Home automation with arduino or raspberry pi is the wireless and remote control of different
aspects of a living space like lighting, temperature, security, entertainment, etc. It performs
with the help of connected smart devices and appliances that use communication technology
like WiFi, Bluetooth and Ethernet, to share data and facilitate the efficient management of
power consumption. It has advantages like:
It is Cost-effective: Home automation appliances have a longer life cycle than the regular
device. Hence this saves money.
It is Self-sufficient: The home automation technologies come with the option of running on
sustainable sources of energy like wind or solar power and even water harvesting.
It is Eco-friendly: Smart home appliances consume a minimum amount of power. This is
because they use stored user data to modify the output. This means a fair amount of energy is
saved.
Conclusion:
We can conclude that Arduino is a great platform to deploy Controlling Home Appliances
Remotely. It has more flexibility than any of the other platforms. Home automation is a great
way of conserving electricity at homes and also a great way of monitoring you home for
security purposes. The system has great applications at Home and industrial use and can be
extended very easily to add more and better functionality. A naive user with no technological
knowledge can easily operate the system as it is very user friendly and easily accessible. The
prototype can be made into a product very easily and at very low cost also with very
application exclusive functionality. The user interface is quite simple and friendly making the
system more relevant.
