Smart home automation system using Bluetooth technology

In this paper a low cost and user friendly remote controlled home automation system is presented using Arduino board, Bluetooth module, smartphone, ultrasonic sensor and moisture sensor. A smartphone application is used in the suggested system which allows the users to control up to 18 devices including home appliances and sensors using Bluetooth technology. Nowadays, most of conventional home automation systems are designed for special purposes while proposed system is a general purpose home automation system. Which can easily be implement in existing home. The suggested system has more features than conventional home automation systems such as an ultrasonic sensor is used for water level detection and soil moisture sensor is use for automatic plant irrigation system. This paper also describes the hardware and software architecture of system, future work and scope. The proposed prototype of home automation system is implemented and tested on hardware and it gave the exact and expected results.
