Android Based Smart Home Automation System Design Using Raspberry Pi3

Abstract

Automation plays an important role in today’s human life and people’s life is gradually changing with smart living due to modern technology development and Android Smartphone. This paper presents a low-cost Smart Living System, which uses Android based User Interface for control of home appliances. Connection to the smart living system can be made from the designed app via Bluetooth or internet connection. It also integrates home security and alert system. Also, the smart home concept in the system improves the standard living at home.

 The main control system implements wireless Bluetooth technology to provide remote access from PC/laptop or smart phone. The design remains the existing electrical switches and provides more safety control on the switches with low voltage activating method. The switches status is synchronized in all the control system whereby every user interface indicates the real time existing switches status. The system intended to control electrical appliances and devices in house with relatively low cost design, user-friendly interface and ease of installation.
