This document describes a home automation system using Android phones. It discusses controlling electrical appliances through voice commands to the Android application. A microcontroller acts as the interface between the app and hardware. Commands are sent from the app to the microcontroller connected to appliances. The proposed system uses GSM to allow remote control of appliances via SMS from any location with network access. This helps disabled users control devices easily through voice.
A home automation system allows you to control devices in your home such as lighting, climate control, entertainment systems, and appliances using your laptop or phone. It uses an Internet of Things (IoT) concept where devices have IP addresses and can be monitored and controlled remotely. A typical system uses sensors, relays, motors, and an Arduino controller connected to home appliances to allow remote control via the internet using a Wi-Fi modem and microcontroller interface. The system status can be displayed on an LCD screen along with system data. Such systems can help reduce costs and conserve energy.

Smart home technology allows homeowners to remotely control and automate devices in their home, providing convenience, security, and energy efficiency. It originated in the 1970s with X10, which used radio signals on home wiring to control devices. Modern smart home systems often use wireless protocols like Zigbee and Z-Wave along with a central hub to integrate various connected devices. While smart homes provide benefits, concerns include security, privacy if personal data is collected, and lack of standardization between different manufacturers' devices and protocols.
The past decade has seen significant advancement in the field of consumer electronics. Various intelligent appliances such as cellular phones, air-conditioners, home security devices, home theatres, etc. are set to realize the concept of a smart home. They have given rise to a Personal Area Network in home environment, where all these appliances can be interconnected and monitored using a single controller.
Busy families and individuals with physical limitation represent an attractive market for home automation and networking.

My Final Year Project - Individual Control Home Automation SystemMichael Olafusi
油
This project involves the design and construction of an individual control home
automation system using RS232, GSM technology and a microcontroller.
Home automation is the automatic or semi-automatic control and monitoring of
household appliances and residential house features like doors, gate and even the windows.
This project is a demonstration of how to design and build a multi purpose remotely
controlled system that can switch OFF and ON any electrical household appliance (including the security light), by dialling a phone already interfaced via RS232 to a microcontroller that controls a relay for the automatic switching on and off of the appliance and the phone will send a feedback short message service text indicating the new state of the appliance, whether switched ON or OFF.
The results of this project show that a microcontroller is a very powerful device for
building smart electronic devices that can automatically control electrical appliances, with little circuitry complexities and components.
