PROJECT TITLE :

Embedded System for Home Automation Using SMS

ABSTRACT :

This paper describes the design and development of a system for household appliance control using cell phone through global system for mobile communication (GSM) technology. The cellular communications is a potential solution for such remote controlling activities. SMS (short message service) technology can be used to control household appliances from distance. Remotely, the system allows the home owner to monitor and control the home appliances via mobile phone set by sending commands in the form of SMS messages and receiving the appliances status as well. The proposed system makes use of wireless control hence can be effectively used in systems were unwired connections are desired. The system uses the user's mobile handset for control and therefore the system is more adaptable and cost-effective and also providing ubiquitous access for appliance control.
