Real time smart home automation based on PIC microcontroller, Bluetooth and Android technology

Smart Home Automation System has wide potential for implementation in 21
^st
Century. Various Home Automation systems are being developed by various researchers worldwide. But most of them has limitations in terms of high cost, efficiency, robustness and flexibility. Seeing the limitations of various other home automation systems, we propose a Novel Cost Effective cum Efficient home automation system. In this paper, Smart Home Automation system is being proposed via use of PIC Technology utilizing PIC 16F877A microcontroller. The system contains HC-05 Bluetooth sensor for long range and energy efficient wireless communication and the system is fully operational to control various appliances like TV, BULBS, Tube lights, Fans and A.C. This paper shows complete description of various components used and working of all the components integrated with each other. The system also makes use of Android App titled “Smt Home Control” which provides flexible and easy to use GUI for interface. The system is currently the most cost effective and work-efficient as compared to other systems in the market.
