Touch screen based wireless modern home automation system

Description

Wireless Home automation is the use of one or more touch screens to control basic home functions and features automatically and sometimes remotely. An automated home is sometimes called a smart home. This Home automation can include the scheduling and automatic operation of water sprinkling, heating and air conditioning, window coverings, security systems, lighting, and food preparation appliances.

The kit wireless Home automation may also allow vital home functions to be controlled remotely from anywhere in the world using a computer connected to the Internet. Besides the functions already mentioned, remote control can be extended to telephones and answering machines, fax machines, amateur radios, and other communications equipment, and home robots such as automatic vacuum cleaners. Through this kit, we presented a prototype of Home Automation.

In this kit Wireless Home Automation, we are controlling the system with the help of a touch screen. As we press the button on the touch screen it generates signals and sends them to the microcontroller and sends it to the input section of the RF transmitter where it is encoded and transmitted with help of an antenna. Now the sent signal will be received by the receiver section and decoded with the help of the decoder. Later on, this decoded signal will be sent to the relay driver and the execution takes place. And on the basis of the output generated by the microcontroller the relay which is connected to the particular appliance either gets energized or de-energized. This leads to the switching. This project is also introducing the use of embedded technology and its importance in electronics.
