INTRODUCTION

Home automationis the use of technology to

control basic home functions and features
automatically as well as remotely. An automated
homeis sometimes called a smarthome.

It makes your everyday tasks in the home

simpler, safer, or less expensive.

The idea of comfortable living in home has

changed since the past decade as digital ,
wireless technologies are integrated into it .

WHY HOME AUTOMATION

Home automation is a key to having effective energy

efficiency in our house.

There are many home wireless based devices for

controlling processes, but they are more expensive.

So here we are using all the basic components that are

used in our daily life like cell phones, SIM card, GSM
modem etc which make our project cheaper and very
simple to use.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Aim of the project is to develop a system

based on Embedded micro controller ,which is
used for controlling various appliances at home
using GSM network and which provides a
security feature.

The major hardware interfaces to micro controller are

LCD display and a modem(GSM).Also the appliances
are interfaced to the micro controller that are to be
controlled.

A serial driver IC is used for serial data transmission.

FEATURES OF 8051
It

is an 8 bit microcontroller.
Single +5V operating supply.
On chip RAM 128 bites (data memory).
On chip ROM 4 Kbytes (flash program memory).
On chip oscillator & control circuitry.
Four register banks.
32 bit bidirectional I/O pins.
Two 16 bit counter/ timer.
16 bit address bus:-it can access 2^16 memory
locations:-64kb (65536) each of RAM and ROM.
8 bit data bus:-it can access 8bit of data in one operation.

LCD DISPLAY

Enable (E)-Thisline allows access to the display through R/W and RS

lines. When this line is low, the LCD is disabled and ignores signals from
R/W and RS. When (E) line is high, the LCD checks the state of the two
control lines and responds accordingly.
Read/Write (R/W)-This line determines the direction of data between
the LCD and microcontroller. When it is low, data is written to the LCD.
When it is high, data is read from the LCD.
Register select (RS)-With the help of this line, the LCD interprets the
type of data on data lines. When it is low, an instruction is being written to
the LCD. When it is high, a character is being written to the LCD.

RELAYS

Relays are electromechanical

devices that use an
electromagnet to operate a
pair of movable contacts from
an open position to a closed
position.
The advantage of relays is
that it takes a relatively small
amount of power to operate
the relay coil, but the relay
itself can be used to control
motors, heaters, lamps or AC
circuits which themselves can

GSM MODULE

GSM moduleis used to establish communication

between a microcontroller and aGSM system.
It assembles a GSM modem with standard
communication interfaces like RS-232 (Serial Port),
USB and power supply.

GSM MODEM

AGSM modemis a specialized type of modem which

accepts a SIM card, and operates over a subscription to a
mobile operator, just like a mobile phone.
It requires aSIM card just like mobile phones to activate
communication with the network.
It hasIMEI number similar to mobile phones for their
identification.
The MODEM needsAT commands, for interacting with
controller, which are communicated through serial
communication. These commands are sent by the controller.
The MODEM sends back a result after it receives a command.
Different AT commands supported by the MODEM can be sent
by the controller to interact with theGSM cellular network.

FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
It

can be used as:

Controlling speed of fan
Controlling room
temperature
Recording our favorite TV
program when we are
outside from our home.
It can be used for security
proposes
burglary
gas detection
smoke detection

CONCLUSION
With

respect to command via sms

that has been sent to the controller
via GSM module from phone,
command gets interpreted by
controller and then activates
required switch to control the
electrical item.
The proposed model can control all
electrical items from anywhere in the
world, provided GSM has coverage of
