ABSTRACT
The main objective of this project is to develop a home automation system with
Android application controlled remote. Remote controlled home automation system
provides a simpler solution with Android application technology. Remote operation is
achieved by any smart-phone/Tablet etc., with Android OS, upon a GUI (Graphical User
Interface) based touch screen operation. Home automation is becoming more and more
popular day by day due to its numerous advantages. This can be achieved by local
networking or by remote control.
Our Aim is to design a kit that can be used for controlling AC Loads from
Android phone by using Arduino microcontroller. Home automation refers to the use of
computer and information technology to control home appliances and other features
(such as windows or lighting). Systems can range from simple remote control of lighting
through to complex computer/micro-controller based networks with varying degrees of
intelligence and automation. Home automation is adopted for reasons of ease, security
and energy efficiency.
In modern construction in industrialized nations, most homes have been wired for
electrical power, telephones, TV outlets (cable or antenna), and a doorbell. Many
household tasks were automated by the development of specialized appliances. For
instance, automatic washing machines were developed to reduce the manual labor of
cleaning clothes, and water heaters reduced the labor necessary for bathing.

Arduino based Home Automation System using Bluetooth through an Android Mobile
CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION TO EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
INTRODUCTION
The Goal of this Project is to develop an Embedded System, which is used to

control home appliances by android mobile using Bluetooth.
DESCRIPTION
Presently, conventional walls are located in different parts of home makes it

difficult to the user to go near them to operate and thus requires a lot of maintenance and
effort. Even for elderly and physically challenged people to do so, it is difficult. This
project demonstrates a simple home automation system that allows the user to control it
with a wireless device such as a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. A desktop PC
is used to run the server software.
The System allows the user to control each of the lights and fans individually. It
can automatically turn off the main lights and turn on a night lamp at a specified time. By
measuring the signal strength, it can detect when the user enters room and automatically
turn on the light and fans, and then automatically turn them off when the user leaves the
room.

EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
An Embedded System is a combination of computer hardware and software, and

perhaps additional mechanical or other parts, designed to perform a specific function. An
embedded system is a microcontroller-based, software driven, reliable, real-time control
system, autonomous, or human or network interactive, operating on diverse physical
variables and in diverse environments and sold into a competitive and cost conscious
market.
An embedded system is not a computer system that is used primarily for
processing, not a software system on PC or UNIX, not a traditional business or scientific
application. High-end embedded & lower end embedded systems. High-end embedded
system - generally 32-bit, 64-bit Controllers used with OS like Personal Digital Assistant
and Mobile phones etc. Lower end embedded systems - Generally 8-bit, 16-bit
Controllers used with a minimal operating systems and hardware layout designed for the
specific purpose.

CHARACTERSTICS OF AN EMBEDDED SYSTEM
• An embedded system is any computer system hidden inside a product other than a
computer.
• They will encounter a number of difficulties when writing embedded system
software in addition to those we encounter when we write applications.
– Throughput – Our system may need to handle a lot of data in a short
period of time.
– Response – Our system may need to react to events quickly.
– Testability – Setting up equipment to test embedded software can be
difficult.
– Debugability – Without a screen or a keyboard, finding out what the
software is doing wrong (other than not working) is a troublesome
problem.
– Reliability – Embedded systems must be able to handle any situation
without human intervention.
– Memory space – Memory is limited on embedded systems, and you must

make the software and the data fit into whatever memory exists.
– Program installation – you will need special tools to get your software into
embedded systems.
– Power consumption – Portable systems must run on battery power, and the
software in these systems must conserve power.
– Processor hogs – Computing that requires large amounts of CPU time can
complicate the response problem.
– Cost – Reducing the cost of the hardware is a concern in many embedded
system projects; software often operates on hardware that is barely
adequate for the job.
• Embedded systems have a microprocessor/ microcontroller and a memory. Some
have a serial port or a network connection. They usually do not have keyboards,
screens or disk drives.
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE
There are several different types of software architecture in common use.
Simple Control Loop
In this design, the software simply has a loop. The loop calls subroutines, each of
which manages a part of the hardware or software.
Interrupt-Controlled System
Some embedded systems are predominantly controlled by interrupts. This means

that tasks performed by the system are triggered by different kinds of events; an interrupt
could be generated, for example, by a timer in a predefined frequency, or by a serial port
controller receiving a byte.
These kinds of systems are used if event handlers need low latency, and the event
handlers are short and simple. Usually, these kinds of systems run a simple task in a main
loop also, but this task is not very sensitive to unexpected delays.
Sometimes the interrupt handler will add longer tasks to a queue structure. Later,
after the interrupt handler has finished, these tasks are executed by the main loop. This
method brings the system close to a multitasking kernel with discrete processes.
Cooperative Multitasking
A non preemptive multitasking system is very similar to the simple control loop
scheme, except that the loop is hidden in an API. The programmer defines a series of
tasks, and each task gets its own environment to “run” in. When a task is idle, it calls an
idle routine, usually called “pause”, “wait”, “yield”, “nop” (stands for no operation), etc.
The advantages and disadvantages are similar to that of the control loop, except
that adding new software is easier, by simply writing a new task, or adding to the queue.
Preemptive Multitasking or Multi-threading
In this type of system, a low-level piece of code switches between tasks or threads
based on a timer (connected to an interrupt). This is the level at which the system is
generally considered to have an "operating system" kernel. Depending on how much
functionality is required, it introduces more or less of the complexities of managing
multiple tasks running conceptually in parallel.
As any code can potentially damage the data of another task (except in larger
systems using an MMU) programs must be carefully designed and tested, and access to
shared data must be controlled by some synchronization strategy, such as message
queues, semaphores or a non-blocking synchronization scheme.
Because of these complexities, it is common for organizations to use a real-time

operating system (RTOS), allowing the application programmers to concentrate on
device functionality rather than operating system services, at least for large systems;
smaller systems often cannot afford the overhead associated with a generic real time
system, due to limitations regarding memory size, performance, or battery life. The
choice that an RTOS is required brings in its own issues, however, as the selection must
be done prior to starting to the application development process. This timing forces
developers to choose the embedded operating system for their device based upon current
requirements and so restricts future options to a large extent The restriction of future
options becomes more of an issue as product life decreases. Additionally the level of
complexity is continuously growing as devices are required to manage variables such as
serial, USB, TCP/IP, Bluetooth, Wireless LAN, trunk radio, multiple channels, data and
voice, enhanced graphics, multiple states, multiple threads, numerous wait states and so
on. These trends are leading to the uptake of embedded middleware in addition to a real-
time operating system.
Microkernels and Exokernels
A microkernel is a logical step up from a real-time OS. The usual arrangement is

that the operating system kernel allocates memory and switches the CPU to different
threads of execution. User mode processes implement major functions such as file
systems, network interfaces, etc.
In general, microkernels succeed when the task switching and intertask

communication is fast and fail when they are slow. Exokernels communicate efficiently
by normal subroutine calls. The hardware and all the software in the system are available
to and extensible by application programmers.
Monolithic kernels
In this case, a relatively large kernel with sophisticated capabilities is adapted to

suit an embedded environment. This gives programmers an environment similar to a
desktop operating system like Linux or Microsoft Windows, and is therefore very
productive for development; on the downside, it requires considerably more hardware
resources, is often more expensive, and, because of the complexity of these kernels, can
be less predictable and reliable.
Common examples of embedded monolithic kernels are embedded Linux and

Windows CE.
Despite the increased cost in hardware, this type of embedded system is increasing in
popularity, especially on the more powerful embedded devices such as wireless routers
and GPS navigation systems. Here are some of the reasons:
 Ports to common embedded chip sets are available.

 They permit re-use of publicly available code for device drivers, web servers,
firewalls, and other code.
 Development systems can start out with broad feature-sets, and then the
distribution can be configured to exclude unneeded functionality, and save the
expense of the memory that it would consume.
 Many engineers believe that running application code in user mode is more
reliable and easier to debug, thus making the development process easier and the
code more portable.
 Features requiring faster response than can be guaranteed can often be placed in
hardware.
Exokernel
ExoKernel is an operating system developed at the Massachusetts Institute of

Technology that seeks to provide application-level management of hardware resources.
The exokernel architecture is designed to separate resource protection from management
to facilitate application-specific customization.

2.1 BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short

distances (using short-wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to
2.485 GHz from fixed and mobile devices, and building personal area networks (PANs).
Invented by telecom vendor Ericsson in 1994 it was originally conceived as a wireless
alternative to RS-232 data cables. It can connect several devices, overcoming problems of
synchronization.
Bluetooth is managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), which has
more than 25,000 member companies in the areas of telecommunication, computing,
networking, and consumer electronics. The IEEE standardized Bluetooth as IEEE

802.15.1, but no longer maintains the standard. The Bluetooth SIG oversees development
of the specification, manages the qualification program, and protects the trademarks. A
manufacturer must make a device meet Bluetooth SIG standards to market it as a
Bluetooth device. A network of patents apply to the technology, which are licensed to
individual qualifying devices.
Fig. 2.2: Bluetooth Module
MICROCONTROLLER
A Microcontroller is a small computer (SoC) on a single integrated circuit

containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals.
Program memory in the form of Ferroelectric RAM, NOR flash or OTP ROM is also
often included on chip, as well as a typically small amount of RAM. Microcontrollers are
designed for embedded applications, in contrast to the microprocessors used in personal
computers or other general purpose applications consisting of various discrete chips.
Microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products and devices, such

as automobile engine control systems, implantable medical devices, remote controls,
office machines, appliances, power tools, toys and other embedded systems. By reducing
the size and cost compared to a design that uses a separate microprocessor, memory, and
input/output devices, microcontrollers make it economical to digitally control even more
devices and processes. Mixed signal microcontrollers are common, integrating analog
components needed to control non-digital electronic systems.
Some microcontrollers may use four-bit words and operate at clock rate
frequencies as low as 4 kHz, for low power consumption (single-digit mill watts or
microwatts). They will generally have the ability to retain functionality while waiting for
an event such as a button press or other interrupt; power consumption while sleeping
(CPU clock and most peripherals off) may be just Nano watts, making many of them well
suited for long lasting battery applications. Other microcontrollers may serve
performance-critical roles, where they may need to act more like a digital signal
processor (DSP), with higher clock speeds and power consumption.
Fig. 2.3: Micro Controller
ELECTRICAL LOADS
An Electrical Load is an electrical component or portion of a circuit that

consumes electric power. This is opposed to a power source, such as a battery or
generator, which produces power. In electric power circuits examples of loads are
appliances and lights.
The term is used more broadly in electronics for a device connected to a signal
source, whether or not it consumes power. If an electric circuit has an output port, a pair
of terminals that produces an electrical signal, the circuit connected to this terminal (or its
input impedance) is the load. For example, if a CD player is connected to an amplifier,
the CD player is the source and the amplifier is the load.
Load affects the performance of circuits with respect to output voltages or

currents, such as in sensors, voltage sources, and amplifiers. Mains power outlets provide
an easy example: they supply power at constant voltage, with electrical appliances
connected to the power circuit collectively making up the load. When a high-power
appliance switches on, it dramatically reduces the load impedance.
If the load impedance is not very much higher than the power supply impedance,
the voltages will drop. In a domestic environment, switching on a heating appliance may
cause incandescent lights to dim noticeably.
Fig. 2.4: Electrical Loads
ANDROID OS
Android is a mobile operating system (OS) currently developed by Google, based

on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as
smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is mainly based on direct manipulation,
using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping,
tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for
text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, Google has further developed Android TV
for televisions, Android Auto for cars, and Android Wear for wrist watches, each with a
specialized user interface. Variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game
consoles, digital cameras, and other electronics.
Android has an active community of developers and enthusiasts who use the
Android Open Source Project (AOSP) source code to develop and distribute their own
modified versions of the operating system These community-developed releases often
bring new features and updates to devices faster than through the official
manufacturer/carrier channels, with a comparable level of quality; provide continued
support for older devices that no longer receive official updates; or bring Android to
devices that were officially released running other operating systems, such as the HP
Touchpad.
Fig. 2.5: Android OS
ARDUINO IDE
Arduino is common term for a software company, project, and user community
that designs and manufactures computer open-source hardware, open-source software,
and microcontroller-based kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can
sense and control physical devices.
The project is based on microcontroller board designs, produced by several

vendors, using various microcontrollers. These systems provide sets of digital and analog
I/O pins that can interface to various expansion boards (termed shields) and other circuits.
The boards feature serial communication interfaces, including Universal Serial Bus
(USB) on some models, for loading programs from personal computers. For
programming the microcontrollers, the Arduino project provides an integrated
development environment (IDE) based on a programming language named Processing,
which also supports the languages C and C++.

CHAPTER-3
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
TRANSFORMER
Transformers convert AC electricity from one voltage to another with a little loss
of power. Step-up transformers increase voltage, step-down transformers reduce voltage.
Most power supplies use a step-down transformer to reduce the dangerously high voltage
to a safer low voltage.
Fig. 3.1: A Typical Transformer
The input coil is called the primary and the output coil is called the secondary.
There is no electrical connection between the two coils; instead they are linked by an
alternating magnetic field created in the soft-iron core of the transformer. The two lines
in the middle of the circuit symbol represent the core.
Transformers waste very little power so the power out is (almost) equal to the
power in. Note that as voltage is stepped down and current is stepped up.
The ratio of the number of turns on each coil, called the turn’s ratio, determines
the ratio of the voltages. A step-down transformer has a large number of turns on its
primary (input) coil which is connected to the high voltage mains supply, and a small
number of turns on its secondary (output) coil to give a low output voltage.
Turns Ratio = (Vp / Vs) = (Np / Ns) ----------------------- Eq.3.1
Where,
Vp = primary (input) voltage.
Vs = secondary (output) voltage.
Np = number of turns on primary coil.
Ns = number of turns on secondary coil.
Ip = primary (input) current.
Is = secondary (output) current.
Ideal Power Equation
Fig. 3.2: Transformer Circuit Diagram
If the secondary coil is attached to a load that allows current to flow, electrical
power is transmitted from the primary circuit to the secondary circuit. Ideally, the
transformer is perfectly efficient; all the incoming energy is transformed from the
primary circuit to the magnetic field and into the secondary circuit. If this condition is
met, the incoming electric power must equal the outgoing power.
------------Eq.3.2
Giving the ideal transformer equation
---------------------------Eq.3.3
If the voltage is increased, then the current is decreased by the same factor. The
impedance in one circuit is transformed by the square of the turns ratio. For example, if
an impedance Zs is attached across the terminals of the secondary coil, it appears to the
primary circuit to have an impedance of (Np/Ns)2Zs. This relationship is reciprocal, so that
the impedance Zp of the primary circuit appears to the secondary to be (Ns/Np)2Zp.

LED
LED’s are semiconductor devices. Like transistors, and other diodes, LEDs are
made out of silicon. What makes an LED give off light are the small amounts of chemical
impurities that are added to the silicon, such as gallium, arsenide, indium, and nitride.
When current passes through the LED, it emits photons as a byproduct. Normal
light bulbs produce light by heating a metal filament until it is white hot. LEDs produce
photons directly and not via heat, they are far more efficient than incandescent bulbs.
Fig. 3.5: Typical LED Fig. 3.6: Circuit symbol
Not long ago LEDs were only bright enough to be used as indicators on
dashboards or electronic equipment. But recent advances have made LEDs bright enough
to rival traditional lighting technologies. Modern LEDs can replace incandescent bulbs in
almost any application.
Types of LED’s
LEDs are produced in an array of shapes and sizes. The 5 mm cylindrical package
is the most common, estimated at 80% of world production. The color of the plastic lens
is often the same as the actual color of light emitted, but not always. For instance, purple
plastic is often used for infrared LEDs, and most blue devices have clear housings.
There are also LEDs in extremely tiny packages, such as those found on blinkers
and on cell phone keypads. The main types of LEDs are miniature, high power devices
and custom designs such as alphanumeric or multi-color.
Fig. 3.7: Different types of LED’s
RESISTORS
A resistor is a two-terminal electronic component designed to oppose an electric

current by producing a voltage drop between its terminals in proportion to the current,
that is, in accordance with Ohm's law
V = IR ---Eq.3.4
Resistors are used as part of electrical networks and electronic circuits. They
are extremely commonplace in most electronic equipment. Practical resistors can be
made of various compounds and films, as well as resistance wire (wire made of a high-
resistivity alloy, such as nickel/chrome).
Fig. 3.8: Resistors

The primary characteristics of resistors are their resistance and the power they
can dissipate. Other characteristics include temperature coefficient, noise, and
inductance. Less well-known is critical resistance, the value below which power
dissipation limits the maximum permitted current flow, and above which the limit is
applied voltage. Critical resistance depends upon the materials constituting the resistor as
well as its physical dimensions; it's determined by design.
Resistors can be integrated into hybrid and printed circuits, as well as
integrated circuits. Size, and position of leads (or terminals) are relevant to equipment
designers; resistors must be physically large enough not to overheat when dissipating
their power.
A resistor is a two-terminal passive electronic component which implements
electrical resistance as a circuit element. When a voltage V is applied across the terminals
of a resistor, a current I will flow through the resistor in direct proportion to that voltage.
The reciprocal of the constant of proportionality is known as the resistance R, since, with
a given voltage V, a larger value of R further "resists" the flow of current I as given by
Ohm's law:
------Eq.3.5
Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and electronic circuits and
are ubiquitous in most electronic equipment. Practical resistors can be made of various
compounds and films, as well as resistance wire (wire made of a high-resistivity alloy,
such as nickel-chrome). Resistors are also implemented within integrated circuits,

particularly analog devices, and can also be integrated into hybrid and printed circuits.
The electrical functionality of a resistor is specified by its resistance: common
commercial resistors are manufactured over a range of more than 9 orders of magnitude.
When specifying that resistance in an electronic design, the required precision of the
resistance may require attention to the manufacturing tolerance of the chosen resistor,
according to its specific application. The temperature coefficient of the resistance may
also be of concern in some precision applications. Practical resistors are also specified as
having a maximum power rating which must exceed the anticipated power dissipation of
that resistor in a particular circuit: this is mainly of concern in power electronics
applications. Resistors with higher power ratings are physically larger and may require
heat sinking. In a high voltage circuit, attention must sometimes be paid to the rated
maximum working voltage of the resistor.
The series inductance of a practical resistor causes its behaviour to depart from
ohms law; this specification can be important in some high-frequency applications for
smaller values of resistance. In a low-noise amplifier or pre-amp the noise characteristics
of a resistor may be an issue. The unwanted inductance, excess noise, and temperature
coefficient are mainly dependent on the technology used in manufacturing the resistor.
They are not normally specified individually for a particular family of resistors
manufactured using a particular technology. A family of discrete resistors is also
characterized according to its form factor, that is, the size of the device and position of its
leads (or terminals) which is relevant in the practical manufacturing of circuits using
them.
Units
The ohm (symbol: Ω) is the SI unit of electrical resistance, named after Georg
Simon Ohm. An ohm is equivalent to a volt per ampere. Since resistors are specified and
manufactured
over a very large range of values, the derived units of milliohm (1 mΩ = 10−3 Ω), kilohm
(1 kΩ = 103 Ω), and megohm (1 MΩ = 106 Ω) are also in common usage.
The reciprocal of resistance R is called conductance G = 1/R and is measured in

Siemens (SI unit), sometimes referred to as a mho. Thus a Siemens is the reciprocal of an
− 1
ohm: S = Ω . Although the concept of conductance is often used in circuit analysis,
practical resistors are always specified in terms of their resistance (ohms) rather than
conductance.
CAPACITORS
A capacitor or condenser is a passive electronic component consisting of a pair
of conductors separated by a dielectric. When a voltage potential difference exists
between the conductors, an electric field is present in the dielectric. This field stores
energy and produces a mechanical force between the plates. The effect is greatest
between wide, flat, parallel, narrowly separated conductors.
An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single constant value, capacitance,
which is measured in farads. This is the ratio of the electric charge on each conductor to
the potential difference between them. In practice, the dielectric between the plates passes
a small amount of leakage current. The conductors and leads introduce an equivalent
series resistance and the dielectric has an electric field strength limit resulting in a
breakdown voltage.
The properties of capacitors in a circuit may determine the resonant frequency
and quality factor of a resonant circuit, power dissipation and operating frequency in a
digital logic circuit, energy capacity in a high-power system, and many other important
aspects.
A capacitor (formerly known as condenser) is a device for storing electric
charge. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two
conductors separated by a non-conductor. Capacitors used as parts of electrical systems,
for example, consist of metal foils separated by a layer of insulating film.
Fig. 3.9: Capacitors
Capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits for blocking direct current while
allowing alternating current to pass, in filter networks, for smoothing the output of power
supplies, in the resonant circuits that tune radios to particular frequencies and for many
other purposes.
A capacitor is a passive electronic component consisting of a pair of conductors
separated by a dielectric (insulator). When there is a potential difference (voltage) across
the conductors, a static electric field develops in the dielectric that stores energy and
produces a mechanical force between the conductors. An ideal capacitor is characterized
by a single constant value, capacitance, measured in farads. This is the ratio of the
electric charge on each conductor to the potential difference between them.
The capacitance is greatest when there is a narrow separation between large areas
of conductor, hence capacitor conductors are often called "plates", referring to an early
means of construction. In practice the dielectric between the plates passes a small amount
of leakage current and also has an electric field strength limit, resulting in a breakdown
voltage, while the conductors and leads introduce an undesired inductance and resistance.
Theory of Operation
Main article: Capacitance
Fig. 3.10: Capacitor Operation
Charge separation in a parallel-plate capacitor causes an internal electric field. A

dielectric (orange) reduces the field and increases the capacitance.
Fig. 3.11: A Simple Demonstration of a Parallel-Plate Capacitor
A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by a non-conductive region. The

non-conductive region is called the dielectric or sometimes the dielectric medium. In
simpler terms, the dielectric is just an electrical insulator. Examples of dielectric
mediums are glass, air, paper, Vacuum, and even a semiconductor depletion region
chemically identical to the conductors.
A capacitor is assumed to be self-contained and isolated, with no net electric

charge and no influence from any external electric field. The conductors thus hold equal
and opposite charges on their facing surfaces, and the dielectric develops an electric field.
In SI units, a capacitance of one farad means that one coulomb of charge on each
conductor causes a voltage of one volt across the device.
The capacitor is a reasonably general model for electric fields within electric
circuits. An ideal capacitor is wholly characterized by a constant capacitance C, defined
as the ratio of charge ±Q on each conductor to the voltage V between them.
------- -Eq.3.6
Sometimes charge build-up affects the capacitor mechanically, causing its
capacitance to vary. In this case, capacitance is defined in terms of incremental changes:
--------Eq.3.7
Energy storage
Work must be done by an external influence to "move" charge between the
conductors in a capacitor. When the external influence is removed the charge separation
persists in the electric field and energy is stored to be released when the charge is allowed
to return to its equilibrium position. The work done in establishing the electric field, and
hence the amount of energy stored, is given by
----Eq.3.8
Current-Voltage relation
The current i(t) through any component in an electric circuit is defined as the rate
of flow of a charge q(t) passing through it, but actual charges, electrons, cannot pass
through the dielectric layer of a capacitor, rather an electron accumulates on the negative
plate for each one that leaves the positive plate, resulting in an electron depletion and
consequent positive charge on one electrode that is equal and opposite to the accumulated
negative charge on the other. Thus the charge on the electrodes is equal to the integral of
the current as well as proportional to the voltage as discussed above. As with any
antiderivative, a constant of integration is added to represent the initial voltage v (t0). This
is the integral form of the capacitor equation.
-----Eq.3.9
Taking the derivative of this, and multiplying by C, yields the derivative form.
------------ -Eq.3.10
The dual of the capacitor is the inductor, which stores energy in the magnetic field
rather than the electric field. Its current-voltage relation is obtained by exchanging
current and voltage in the capacitor equations and replacing C with the inductance L.
PUSH BUTTONS
Fig. 3.12: Push Buttons
A push-button (also spelled pushbutton) or simply button is a simple switch

mechanism for controlling some aspect of a machine or a process. Buttons are typically
made out of hard material, usually plastic or metal. The surface is usually flat or shaped
to accommodate the human finger or hand, so as to be easily depressed or pushed.
Buttons are most often biased switches, though even many un-biased buttons (due to their
physical nature) require a spring to return to their un-pushed state. Different people use
different terms for the "pushing" of the button, such as press, depress, mash, and punch.
Uses
In industrial and commercial applications push buttons can be linked together by a
mechanical linkage so that the act of pushing one button causes the other button to be
released. In this way, a stop button can "force" a start button to be released. This method
of linkage is used in simple manual operations in which the machine or process have no
electrical circuits for control.
Pushbuttons are often color-coded to associate them with their function so that the
operator will not push the wrong button in error. Commonly used colors are red for
stopping the machine or process and green for starting the machine or process.
Red pushbuttons can also have large heads (mushroom shaped) for easy operation
and to facilitate the stopping of a machine. These pushbuttons are called emergency stop
buttons and are mandated by the electrical code in many jurisdictions for increased
safety. This large mushroom shape can also be found in buttons for use with operators
who need to wear gloves for their work and could not actuate a regular flush-mounted
push button. As an aid for operators and users in industrial or commercial applications, a
pilot light is commonly added to draw the attention of the user and to provide feedback if
the button is pushed. Typically this light is included into the center of the pushbutton and
a lens replaces the pushbutton hard center disk.
The source of the energy to illuminate the light is not directly tied to the contacts
on the back of the pushbutton but to the action the pushbutton controls. In this way a start
button when pushed will cause the process or machine operation to be started and a
secondary contact designed into the operation or process will close to turn on the pilot
light and signify the action of pushing the button caused the resultant process or action to
start.
In popular culture, the phrase "the button" refers to a (usually fictional) button
that a military or government leader could press to launch nuclear weapons.
Push To On Button
Fig. 3.13: Push on Button
Initially the two contacts of the button are open. When the button is pressed they
become connected. This makes the switching operation using the push button
3.7 1N4007
Diodes are used to convert AC into DC these are used as half wave rectifier or full
wave rectifier. Three points must he kept in mind while using any type of diode.
1. Maximum forward current capacity
2.Maximum reverse voltage capacity
3.Maximum forward voltage capacity
Fig. 3.14: 1N4007 diodes
The number and voltage capacity of some of the important diodes available in the
market are as follows:
 Diodes of number IN4001, IN4002, IN4003, IN4004, IN4005, IN4006 and

IN4007 have maximum reverse bias voltage capacity of 50V and maximum forward
current capacity of 1 Amp.
 Diode of same capacities can be used in place of one another. Besides this diode
of more capacity can be used in place of diode of low capacity but diode of low capacity
cannot be used in place of diode of high capacity. For example, in place of IN4002;
IN4001 or IN4007 can be used but IN4001 or IN4002 cannot be used in place of
IN4007.The diode BY125made by company BEL is equivalent of diode from IN4001 to
IN4003. BY 126 is equivalent to diodes IN4004 to 4006 and BY 127 is equivalent to
diode IN4007.
Fig. 3.15: P-N Junction Diode
P-N Junction Operation
Now that you are familiar with P and N type materials, how these materials are
joined together to form a diode, and the function of the diode, let us continue our
discussion with the operation of the P-N junction. But before we can understand how the
P-N junction works, we must first consider current flow in the materials that make up the
junction and what happens initially within the junction when these two materials are
joined together.
Current Flow in the N-Type Material
Conduction in the N-type semiconductor, or crystal, is similar to conduction in a

copper wire. That is, with voltage applied across the material, electrons will move
through the crystal just as current would flow in a copper wire. This is shown in figure.
The positive potential of the battery will attract the free electrons in the crystal. These
electrons will leave the crystal and flow into the positive terminal of the battery. As an
electron leaves the crystal, an electron from the negative terminal of the battery will enter
the crystal, thus completing the current path. Therefore, the majority current carriers in
the N-type material (electrons) are repelled by the negative side of the battery and move
through the crystal toward the positive side of the battery.
Current Flow in the P-Type Material
Current flow through the P-type material is illustrated. Conduction in the P material
is by positive holes, instead of negative electrons. A hole moves from the positive
terminal of the P material to the negative terminal. Electrons from the external circuit
enter the negative terminal of the material and fill holes in the vicinity of this terminal. At
the positive terminal, electrons are removed from the covalent bonds, thus creating new
holes. This process continues as the steady stream of holes (hole current) moves toward
the negative terminal.

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

operate a switching mechanism mechanically, but other operating principles are also
used. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal
(with complete electrical isolation between control and controlled circuits), or where
several circuits must be controlled by one signal.
Fig. 3.16: Typical Relays
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Current flowing through the coil of the
relay creates a magnetic field which attracts a lever and changes the switch contacts. The
coil current can be on or off so relays have two switch positions and most have double
throw (changeover) switch contacts as shown in the diagram.
Fig. 3.17: Relay showing coil and switch contacts
Relays allow one circuit to switch a second circuit which can be completely
separate from the first. For example a low voltage battery circuit can use a relay to switch
a 230V AC mains circuit. There is no electrical connection inside the relay between the
two circuits; the link is magnetic and mechanical.
The coil of a relay passes a relatively large current, typically 30mA for a 12V
relay, but it can be as much as 100mA for relays designed to operate from lower voltages.
Most ICs (chips) cannot provide this current and a transistor is usually used to amplify
the small IC current to the larger value required for the relay coil. The maximum
output current for the popular 555 timer IC is 200mA so these devices can supply relay
coils directly without amplification.
Relays are usually SPDT or DPDT but they can have many more sets of switch
contacts, for example relays with 4 sets of changeover contacts are readily available. For
further information about switch contacts and the terms used to describe them please see
the page on switches. Most relays are designed for PCB mounting but you can solder
wires directly to the pins providing you take care to avoid melting the plastic case of the
relay.
The supplier's catalogue should show you the relay's connections. The coil will be
obvious and it may be connected either way round. Relay coils produce brief high voltage
'spikes' when they are switched off and this can destroy transistors and ICs in the circuit.
To prevent damage you must connect a protection diode across the relay coil.
The figure shows a relay with its coil and switch contacts. You can see a lever on
the left being attracted by magnetism when the coil is switched on. This lever moves the
switch contacts.
Fig. 3.18: Schematic Relay
There is one set of contacts (SPDT) in the foreground and another behind them,
making the relay DPDT.
The relay's switch connections are usually labelled COM, NC and NO

 COM = Common, always connect to this; it is the moving part of the switch.
 NC = Normally Closed, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is off.
 NO = Normally Open, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is on.
Applications Of Relays
Relays are used to and for

 Control a high-voltage circuit with a low-voltage signal, as in some types of
modems or audio amplifiers.
 Control a high-current circuit with a low-current signal, as in the starter solenoid
of an automobile.
 Detect and isolate faults on transmission and distribution lines by opening and
closing circuit breakers.
 Time delay functions. Relays can be modified to delay opening or delay closing a
set of contacts. A very short (a fraction of a second) delay would use a copper
disk between the armature and moving blade assembly. Current flowing in the
disk maintains magnetic field for a short time, lengthening release time. For a
slightly longer (up to a minute) delay, a dashpot is used. A dashpot is a piston
filled with fluid that is allowed to escape slowly. The time period can be varied by
increasing or decreasing the flow rate. For longer time periods, a mechanical
clockwork timer is installed.
HC-05/06 BLUETOOTH MODULE
Fig. 3.19: Bluetooth Module
The Bluetooth module HC-05 is a MASTER/SLAVE module. The Role of the

module (Master or Slave) can be configured only by AT COMMANDS. By default the
factory setting is SLAVE. This post walks through the AT commands of Bluetooth
module .Through AT Commands you can change the ROLE of the module. Name,
Password of the Module can be changed .The list of AT commands can be downloaded.
Remember the models HC-04 or HC-06 are SLAVE only modules .HC-05 is the
module of interest in this post. To identify the model we can see the pin count. If the
module has 5 or 6 pins it is HC-05.If the module has only 4 pins then it is HC-04 or HC-
06. The firmware for HC04 is LINVOR & for the HC05 it is HC05 itself. If we scan for
Bluetooth devices from our Android phone we can see this name. The extra pins in HC-
05 are the KEY & STATE pins. The KEY pin is used to enter the Command mode.

The Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. It has 14 digital

input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz
quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header and a reset button. It

CHAPTER-4
SETUP AND CONNECTION
Home Automation System Using a Simple Android App
Nowadays, people have smart phones with them all the time. So it makes sense to use these to
control home appliances. Presented here is a home automation system using a simple Android app,
which you can use to control electrical appliances with clicks or voice commands. Commands are
sent via Bluetooth to Arduino Uno. So you need not get up to switch on or switch off the device
while watching a movie or doing some work.
Circuit and Working
The home automation circuit is built around an Arduino Uno board, Bluetooth module HC-05 and
a 3-channel relay board. The number of channels depends on the number of appliances you wish to
control. Arduino Uno is powered with a 12V DC adaptor/power source. The relay module and
Bluetooth module can be, in turn, powered using a board power supply of Arduino Uno.
Bluetooth Module
Bluetooth module used in this project is HC-05 (Fig. 4), which supports master and slave mode
serial communication (9600-115200 bps) SPP and UART interface. Using these features it can
communicate with other Bluetooth-enabled devices like mobile phones, tablets and laptops. The
module runs on 3.3V to 5V power supply.
Fig. : Control panel on Android smartphone
Relay Module
A relay allows you to turn on or turn off a circuit using voltage and/or current much higher than
what Arduino could handle. Relay provides complete isolation between the low-voltage circuit on
Arduino side and the high-voltage side controlling the load. It gets activated using 5V from
Arduino, which, in turn, controls electrical appliances like fans, lights and air-conditioners. An 8-
channel relay module is shown in Fig. 5.
In this home automation project circuit, Pins 10 and 11 of Arduino are connected to pins TXD and
RXD of the Bluetooth module, respectively, as shown in Fig. 6.
Pins Gnd and Vcc of the Bluetooth module are connected to Gnd and +3.3V of Arduino board
respectively. Pins 2, 3 and 4 are connected to the three relays (RL1, RL2 and RL3) of the relay
board. Pins Vin and Gnd of the relay board are connected to pins Vin and Gnd of Arduino board,
respectively.
Note. Vin is usually used to give input power, but since we are supplying 12V to Arduino using an
adaptor, we can use Vin pin on Arduino to power the 12V relay module.

Fig. : Relay module connection

Software
The software program for the home automation project(homeautomation.ino) is written in Arduino
programming language called Processing. Arduino Uno is programmed using Arduino IDE
software that you can download from arduino.cc. MIT App Inventor software was used to create
the Android app (.apk) for this project.
The app on your smartphone sends data when you click on buttons or feed voice commands via
Bluetooth in the mobile to Bluetooth module HC-05 connected with Arduino board. Received data
pin TXD of the HC-05 is connected to Arduino. Arduino Uno processes the received data and
controls the relay board accordingly.
Procedure for installing the Android app (.apk) is as follows: ’

1. Download the app (homeautomation.apk).
2. Run .apk file. It will prompt you to complete the action. Click Package Installer and then Install.
3. You will also need a voice-recognition app on your Android smartphone. Most smartphones
have this app preinstalled. If you do not have it, download one from Google Play Store.
Construction and Testing
Assemble the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram. Open Arduino IDE and compile the program
(sketch). Upload the sketch (homeautomation.ino) to Arduino board. Switch on the power supply
to Arduino by connecting it to 12V power source. Pair Bluetooth module with your Android
phone. Type password ‘1234’ (default password) of Bluetooth module.
Click Bluetooth Image on the app to connect it with the Bluetooth module. It automatically
connects and displays as Connected in the app.
You are now ready to control the appliances using the app. You can either use on/off buttons or
voice commands to control the appliances. You can control more electrical appliances by
increasing the number of channels in the relay. For instance, using an 8-channel relay, you can
control up to eight devices. For this, you need to alter the source code by adding input commands
and voice commands to control the devices.
CHAPTER-5
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
ARDUINO SOFTWARE
The board can be programmed from the Arduino software, which is available for
different platforms such as Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. It is open source software,
which is designed using a Java environment and is also based on processing and avr-gcc.
Fig. 5.1: Arduino Software
The software allows users to write their code in C and upload to the board. The
boot loader allows the uploading without the need of external hardware programmer.
Thus the software is very easy to use and efficient. (Arduino Software 2012 ) Arduino
programs may be written in any programming language with a compiler that produces
binary machine code. Atmel provides a development environment for their
microcontrollers, AVR Studio and the newer Atmel Studio.
The Arduino project provides the Arduino integrated development environment

(IDE), which is a cross-platform application written in the programming language Java. It
originated from the IDE for the languages Processing and Wiring. It is designed to
introduce programming to artists and other newcomers unfamiliar with software
development. It includes a code editor with features such as syntax highlighting, brace
matching, and automatic indentation, and provides simple one-click mechanism to
compile and load programs to an Arduino board. A program written with the IDE for
Arduino is called a "sketch".
The Arduino IDE supports the languages C and C++ using special rules to organize
code. The Arduino IDE supplies a software library called Wiring from the Wiring
project, which provides many common input and output procedures. A typical Arduino
C/C++ sketch consist of two functions that are compiled and linked with a program stub
main () into an executable cyclic executive program.
 setup (): a function that runs once at the start of a program and that can initialize
settings.
 loop (): a function called repeatedly until the board powers off.
After compiling and linking with the GNU toolchain, also included with the IDE
distribution, the Arduino IDE employs the program avrdude to convert the executable
code into a text file in hexadecimal coding that is loaded into the Arduino board by a
loader program in the board's firmware.
ARDUINO DEVELOPMENT
Arduino is an open-source hardware. The hardware reference designs are distributed

under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 2.5 license and are available on the
Arduino website. Layout and production files for some versions of the hardware are also
available. The source code for the IDE is released under the GNU General Public
License, version 2.
Although the hardware and software designs are freely available under copy left lice-
nses, the developers have requested that the name "Arduino" be exclusive to the official
product and not be used for derived works without permission. The official policy docu-
ment on use of the Arduino name emphasizes that the project is open to incorporating by
others into the official product.Several Arduino-compatible products commercially relea-
sed have avoided the Arduino name by using -duino name variants.

FUTURE SCOPE
An automated home can be a very simple grouping of controls, or it can be

heavily automated where any appliance that is plugged into electrical power is remotely
controlled. Costs mainly include equipment, components, furniture, and custom
installation. Ongoing costs include electricity to run the control systems, maintenance
costs for the control and networking systems, including troubleshooting, and eventual
cost of upgrading as standards change. Increased complexity may also increase

maintenance costs for networked devices. Learning to use a complex system effectively
may take significant time and training. Control system security may be difficult and
costly to maintain, especially if the control system extends beyond the home, for instance
by wireless or by connection to the internet or other networks.
Future of Automation: Future will be of Automation of all products. Each and

every product will be smart devices that we use daily and that will be controlled through
a smart chip called microcontrollers. Each and Every home appliances will be controlled
either by PC or hand held devices like PDA or mobile handsets. Some examples of it are
when you want you can switch on/off Fan of your home by mobile handset or PC.Smart
Grid: Home automation technologies are viewed as integral additions to the Smart grid.
The ability to control lighting, appliances, HVAC as well as Smart applications (load
shedding, demand response, real-time power usage and price reporting) will become vital
as Smart Grid initiatives are rolled out.
