Development of Low Cost Safety Home Automation System using GSM Network

Abstract

This paper describes home automation system and its individual components and evaluates its performance. With a home automation system, people are able to program many objects to work automatically, which is automation of the home, housework or household activities. The paper presents amicroprocessor-based smart home system. This paper demonstrates and explains the design and implementation of a digitally controlled interface between different sensors and an Arduino microprocessor. The proposed system is implementing alarm system based on Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication network to send Short Message Service (SMS) to the owner. The proposed system is aimed at the security of home against theft, Fire, CO and gas. In case of risk the device sends SMS to the emergency number which is provided to the system. The system is made up of basic components: sensors, GSM Module, Arduino, relays to control the device and buzzers to give security alert signals in terms of sound. The objective of this paper is to use Arduino Mega2560 microcontroller to design and build a smart home automation system which provides the user with new features such as door access control, fire alarm system, control home appliance and objects by mobile application. This paper tries to emphasize the point of advantages of new microprocessor technologies which could make many more houses smart with lower cost. By using this system, we can solve the problems faced by home owners in daily life and made their life easy, flexible and comfortable by proposing cost effective and reliable solution.
