ABSTRACT

The main objective of this project is to develop a home automation system using an Arduino board with Bluetooth
being remotely controlled by any Android OS smart phone. As technology is advancing so houses are also getting
smarter. Modern houses are gradually shiftingfromconventionalswitchestocentralizedcontrolsystem,involving
remote controlled switches.Presently,conventionalwallswitcheslocatedindifferentpartsofthehousemakesit difficult
for the user to go near them to operate. Even more it becomes more difficult for the
elderlyorphysicallyhandicappedpeopletodoso.Remotecontrolledhomeautomationsystem provides a most modern
solution with smart phones. In order to achieve this, a Bluetooth
moduleisinterfacedtotheArduinoboardatthereceiverendwhileonthetransmitterend,a GUI applicationon the
cellphone sends ON/OFF commands to the receiver where loads are
connected.BytouchingthespecifiedlocationontheGUI,theloadscanbeturnedON/OFF remotely through this
technology. The loads are operated by Arduino board through opto- isolators and thyristorsusingTRIACs.

ARDUINO HARDWARE PART:-

Arduino is open-source hardware.The hardware reference designs are distributed under

aCreativeCommonsAttributionShare-Alike2.5licenseandareavailableontheArduino
website.Layoutandproductionfilesforsomeversionsofthehardwarearealsoavailable.

Although the hardware and software designs are freely available under copyleft licenses, the
developers have requested the name Arduinoto be exclusive to the official product and not be
usedforderivedworkswithoutpermission.TheofficialpolicydocumentonuseoftheArduino name
emphasizes that the project is open to incorporating work by others into the official
product.SeveralArduino-compatibleproductscommerciallyreleasedhaveavoidedtheproject
namebyusingvariousnamesendingin-duino.

Most Arduino boards consist of an Atmel8-bit

AVR microcontroller (ATmega8, ATmega168, ATmega328, ATmega1280, ATmega2560) with
varying amounts of flash memory, pins, and features. The 32-bit Arduino Due, based on the
Atmel SAM3X8E was introduced in 2012. The boards use single or double-row pins or female
headersthatfacilitateconnectionsforprogrammingandincorporationintoothercircuits.These
mayconnectwithadd-onmodulestermedshields.Multipleandpossiblystackedshieldsmaybe
individually addressable via an I²Cserial bus. Most boards include a 5 V linear regulator and a
16MHzcrystaloscillatororceramicresonator.Somedesigns,suchastheLilyPad,runat8MHz
anddispensewiththeonboardvoltageregulatorduetospecificform-factorrestrictions.

Arduino microcontrollers are pre-programmed with a boot loader that simplifies uploading of
programs to the on-chip flash memory.The default bootloader of the Arduino UNO is the optiboot
bootloader. Boards are loaded with program code via a serial connection to another computer.
Some serial Arduino boards contain a level shifter circuit to convert between RS-232logic levels
and transistor–transistor logic(TTL) level signals. Current Arduino boards are programmed via
Universal Serial Bus (USB), implemented using USB-to-serial adapter chips
suchastheFTDIFT232.Someboards,suchaslater-modelUnoboards,substitutetheFTDIchip with a
separate AVR chip containing USB-to-serial firmware, which is reprogrammable via its own
ICSP header. Other variants, such as the Arduino Mini and the unofficial Boarduino, use a
detachableUSB-to-serialadapterboardorcable,Bluetoothorothermethods.Whenusedwith
traditional microcontroller tools, instead of the Arduino IDE, standard AVR
insystemprogramming (ISP) programming is used.

11
The Arduino board exposes most of the microcontroller's I/O pins for use by other circuits. The
Diecimila, Duemilanove, and current Uno provide 14 digital I/O pins, six of which can produce
pulse-width modulated signals, and six analog inputs, which can also be used as six
digitalI/Opins.Thesepinsareonthetopoftheboard,viafemale0.1-inch(2.54mm)headers.
Severalplug-inapplicationshieldsarealsocommerciallyavailable.TheArduinoNano,and
Arduino-compatible Bare Bones Board and Arduino boards may provide male header pins on the underside of
the board that can plug into solderless breadboards.

Many Arduino-compatible and Arduino-derived boards exist. Some are functionally equivalent
to an Arduino and can be used interchangeably. Many enhance the basic Arduino by adding
output drivers, often for use in school-level education, to simplify making buggies and small
robots. Others are electrically equivalent but change the form factor, sometimes retaining
compatibility with shields, sometimes not. Some variants use different processors, of varying
compatibility.

ARDUINO SOFTWARE PART:-

IDE

The Arduino integrated development environment (IDE) is across-platform application (for

Windows,macOS,Linux)that is written in the programming language Java.It originated from the
IDE for the languages ProcessingandWiring.Itincludes a code editor with features such as text
cutting and pasting, searching and replacing text, automatic indenting, bracematching, and
syntax highlighting,and provides simple one-click mechanisms to compile and
uploadprogramstoanArduinoboard.Italsocontainsamessagearea,atextconsole,atoolbar
withbuttonsforcommonfunctionsandahierarchyofoperationmenus.Thesourcecodeforthe
IDEisreleasedundertheGNUGeneralPublicLicense,version2.

The Arduino IDE supports the languages C and C++ using special rules of code structuring. The
Arduino IDE supplies a software library from the Wiring project, which provides many
commoninputandoutputprocedures.User-writtencodeonlyrequirestwobasicfunctions,for starting
the sketch and the main program loop, that are compiled and linked with a program
stubmain()intoanexecutablecyclicexecutiveprogramwiththeGNUtoolchain,alsoincluded with the
IDE distribution. The Arduino IDE employs the program avrdudeto convert the
executablecodeintoatextfileinhexadecimalencodingthatisloadedintotheArduinoboard

Sketch

A program written with the Arduino IDE is called a sketch.[58]Sketches are saved on the

RELAY:

A relay is an electrically operated switch.Many relays use an electromagnet tomechanically

operateaswitch,butotheroperatingprinciplesarealsoused,suchassolid-staterelays.Relays are used
where it is necessary to control a circuit by a separate low-power signal, or where

Magnetic latching relays can have either single or dual coils. On a single coil device, the relay
will operate in one direction when power is applied with one polarity, and will reset when the
polarityisreversed.Onadualcoildevice,whenpolarizedvoltageisappliedtotheresetcoilthe contacts

The Arduino Relay module allows a wide range of microcontroller such as Arduino, AVR ,PIC,
ARM with digital outputs to control larger loads and devices like AC or DC Motors,
electromagnets, solenoids, and incandescent light bulbs. This module is designed to be

allmachines.

Force-guidedcontactsbythemselvescannotguaranteethatallcontactsareinthesamestate, however
they do guarantee, subject to no gross mechanical fault, that no contacts are in opposite states.
Otherwise, a relay with several normally open (NO) contacts may stick when energised, with
some contacts closed and others still slightly open, due to mechanical tolerances. Similarly, a
relay with several normally closed (NC) contacts may stick to the
unenergisedposition,sothatwhenenergised,thecircuitthroughonesetofcontactsisbroken,

commonly, changeover contacts, on the same relay, it then becomes possible to

considerationsaboutsignificantamountofmercuryusedandmodernalternatives,theyare now
comparativelyuncommon.

7)Mercury-wetted relay
A mercury-wetted reed relay is a form of reed relay in which the contacts are wetted with
mercury. Such relays are used to switch low-voltage signals (one volt or less) where the mercury
reduces the contact resistance and associated voltage drop, for low-current signals where surface
contamination may make for a poor contact, or for high-speed applications
wherethemercuryeliminatescontactbounce.Mercurywettedrelaysareposition-sensitiveand must be
mounted according to the manufacturer's specifications to work properly. Because of
thetoxicityandexpenseofliquidmercury,theserelaysarenowrarelyused.

Themercury-wettedrelayhasoneparticularadvantage,inthatthecontactclosureappearsto
bevirtuallyinstantaneous,asthemercuryglobulesoneachcontactcoalesce.Thecurrentrise time
through the contacts is generally considered to be a few picoseconds, however in a practical
circuit it will be limited by the inductance ofthe contacts and wiring. It was quite common,
before the restrictions on the use of mercury, to use a mercury-wetted relay in the

8)Multi-voltagerelays
Multi-voltage relays are devices designed to work for wide voltage ranges such as 24 to 240
VAC and VDC and wide frequency ranges such as 0 to 300 Hz. They are indicated for use in
installations that do not have stable supply voltages.

Some relays are constructed with a kind of "shock absorber" mechanism attached to the armature
which prevents immediate, full motion when the coil is either energized or de-
energized.Thisadditiongivestherelaythepropertyoftime-delayactuation.Time-delayrelays

The National Association of Relay Manufacturers and its successor, the Relay and Switch

switches.[23]Ofthese, the following are commonly encountered:

HOW DOES A RELAY WORK?

26
The relay uses an electric current to open or close the contacts of a switch. This is usually done using the help of a
coil that attracts the contacts of a switch and pulls them together when activated, and a spring pushes them apart
when the coil is not energize

There are two advantages of this system – First, the current required to activate the relay is much smaller than the
current that relay contacts are capable of switching, and second, the coil and the contacts are galvanically isolated,
meaning there is no electrical connection between them. This means that the relay can be used to switch mains
current through an isolated low voltage digital system like a microcontroller

INTERNAL CIRCUIT DIAGRAM FOR SINGLE CHANNEL RELAY

The extra components apart from the relay are there since it would not be possible to drive the relay directly from
the pins of a microcontroller. digital logic or a sensor. This is because although the coil consumes much less current
than the currents it can switch, it still needs relatively significant current – low power relays consume around 50mA
while higher power relays consume around 500mA. The coil is also an inductive load, so when the coil is switched
off, a large flyback voltage is developed which can damage the device turning it on and off. For this reason, a
flyback diode is added anti-parallel to the relay coil to clamp the flyback voltage.

27
LEDs can be added to this basic circuit to act as indicators, and sometimes even optical isolation is added to the input to
further improve the isolation

HOW TO USE SINGLE-CHANNEL RELAY MODULE

Relay modules like this one are commonly used to drive mains loads from a microcontroller like the Arduino or a
sensor. In cases like this, the common circuit diagram would be as follows.

For simple on/off applications, the relay can be connected as shown above. One terminal of mains is connected to
common, and the other is connected to NO or NC depending on whether the load should be connected/disconnected
when the relay is active.
