Design and development of activation and monitoring of home automation system via SMS through microcontroller

This paper mainly focuses on the controlling of home appliances remotely when the user is away from the place. The system is SMS based and uses wireless technology. This system provides ideal solution to the problems faced by home owners in daily life. The system is wireless therefore more acceptable and cost-effective. The home appliance control system automates various home appliances using SMS. The system uses GSM technology thus providing universally access to the system for automated appliance control.
