Smart Homes Using Android

The main objective of this project is to develop a simple and cost efficient home automation system with an Android application which would act as a remote and make at most use of all the appliances that can be connected which would help to simplify daily life.Now a days due to the Unplugging of fans and lights when it is not in use, most of the energies are wasted. This is happened mainly because most of the switches are located far away from the users.

The proposed method,is Android based E-home is an application of embedded system which integrates Android operating system, Arduino controller and the Bluetooth for the implementation of Smart Home. Any Android device can act as a transmitting device. The user can control any appliance through a user friendly mobile application built in Android platform. In order to avoid this situation, we have proposed a system using Bluetooth and Android application which help users to control the fans and lights within a certain distance from them.A mobile smart device running Android application which is a Bluetooth controller, an Arduino and a Bluetooth module hc05 which will connect the respective android device with the connected appliance.A Bluetooth is connected to the Arduino and it receives data from android app and it controls the home appliances.
