Effective home automation using android and embedded system

الملخص EN

The home automation needs to make use of latest and advance technology to makes it flexible, reliable and cost effective.

Home automation involves introducing a degree of computerized or automatic control to certain electrical and electronics system in a building.

The popularity of home automation has been increasing greatly in recent years due to much higher affordability and simplicity through smartphone and tablet connectivity.

Most research aims to design and develop home automation system which is wireless and can be controlled via a multiple way to give more accessibility and control over a wide range of the systems.

The main purpose is to develop and design an automation system which is accessible remotely to monitor and controlling it in a user-friendly way.

Wireless communication in home automation systems is focused on low-power wireless communication modules.

This paper proposes a cost-effective home automation system which is contains a combination of Android smart phone or tablet or a laptop and embedded system which include Arduino Due Board, Ethernet Shield module and Relay circuit.

Also, most researches use an open source or a payed software to be used under Android media of the smart phones, but here the required interface Android pages are designed and implemented by researcher which reduce the cost of the proposed system effectively.
