Smart Automation System for Controlling Various Appliances using a Mobile Device

This paper outlines the methodology of designing and developing a smart control system for controlling light, air conditioning and ceiling fans in a room. This system considers the requirements of the users appropriately and makes a comfort zone for the users. An android application with a user friendly Graphical Interface, which is easy to communicate with the smart control system, has been developed. The application is connected with the control system through Wi-Fi across a cloud network and it can respond quickly. RGB LED panel light system that controls the color, color temperature and luminance was designed by considering the requirements of the instances and lighting conditions. Although there are RGB LED panel lights available, there are no systems defined for the activity based color modes. An IR Remote module controller system was built for controlling inverter type air conditioners by giving commands from a smart phone application. This system considers the mean value of the preferences of many users to control the air conditioning system. The running mode of the air conditioner is chosen from the data given through the application by many users in a same place. Although the inverter type air conditioners continuously regulate the temperatures, the fan does not do it. Because of this problem, a ceiling fan controlling system with two modes, automatic and manual, was designed. Automatic mode utilizes the users skin moisture related hybrid system to set the room temperature. Manual mode works according to the suggestions given by the crowd just as the air conditioning system. This air conditioning and ceiling fan control system that works according to the suggestions of crowd is better than the individual preference system using a conventional remote controller.
