WIRELESS SENSOR MODULE BASED HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM

M. Babita Devi

Abstract: This paper proposes a home automation system using wireless sensor module which doesn’t require any computers or any handheld devices such as remote controllers. As the name suggests “Home Automation”, our home can be converted into a smart home. This paper is mainly concerned with design of a system that controls home appliances based on different sensors, to a remotely control using wireless sensor module. In this paper we make use of ZigBee as a wireless module and a microcontroller to monitor the home appliances. According to the occupancy, temperature and light intensity of the room, fan and light will get on/off automatically. Technically our proposed system consists of a transmitter section and a receiver section. Here transmitter communicate wirelessly to a remotely receiver through ZigBeemodules. Furthermore, it also allows users to set the reference temperature and light intensity, which makes this system flexible and more user-friendly. The biggest advantage of our proposed system is that it keeps control of power consumption and reduce energy consumption. Hence it helps us add more intelligence into the home environments rapidly and thus improve life quality
