Abstract

Home automation become the essential system for the common people in order to address the easy solution for the home in many applications. The home automation systems have gained the momentum due to the development in the Internet and wireless technologies. Because of the ICT devices including mobile computing, wireless devices, IoTs and many inter-related technologies  and mobile networks have offer the better solutions in order to develop the more opportune and reachable from ubiquitously at anytime. In this work, the home automation using the Bluetooth technology is implemented. The developed system offers the easy and viable solution to control as many appliances form mobile in easy manner.

Bluetooth Technology is used as a medium to transfer a signal that will control all home appliances. It will communicate with the Bluetooth settings on the user's phone and applications to appear on the phone screen to control the appliances which in than control device embedded in the microcontroller module. The microcontroller is important to perform function/ action. Moreover, the use of this system will provide the users ease of access to their appliances. It will help them save money, time and energy and also prevent the occurrences of accidents due to leaving home appliances turning on. This is because the user only needs to control the appliances systems for their homes with only using mobile phones were installed with the WHACUA application and display the condition of the appliances will appear on the LCD display and mobile phone users.
