Home Automation and Security System

IoT

This project investigates the potential of ‘Full Home Control’, which is the aim of the Home Automation and Security Systems. The analysis and implementation of the home automation technology using Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) module and various sensors to control home appliances such as light, conditional system, and security system via Short Message Service (SMS). Home Security system is designed to prevent the opening of the door by unauthorized persons. The proposed work is focused on functionality of the GSM protocol, which allows the user to control the target system away from residential, using the frequency bandwidths. The concept of serial communication and AT-commands has been applied towards development of the smart GSM-based home automation system. Home owners will be able to receive feedback status of any home appliances under control whether the appliances are switched on or off remotely from their mobile phone.

The previous implemented modules are being integrated and hence the project is completed.

Hardware Requirements:

  • Arduino Uno x 2
  • Motor Driver (alternative- Servo Motor)
  • DC Motor
  • DHT11 Temperature Humidity Sensor
  • NodeMCU ESP8266 Wifi module
  • HC-05 Bluetooth
  • MQ2 Sensor
  • Buzzer
  • Keypad
  • 16×2 LCD
  • LEDS
  • Connecting Wires
  • 9V Battery

Software Requirements:

  • Arduino IDE
  • Android Application of Home Automation and Security System

The whole project is operated using two arduinos, one for Door locking system and sensing MQ2 Sensor data and the other is used to control the home appliances using Bluetooth application and the final functionality is nodeMCU ESP8266 Wifi module which is used to transport the data sensed by DHT11 Temperature Sensor to cloud/Server.

Home Automation and Security System House Model

Part one- Door Locking and Security System with Sensing MQ2 Sensor Data

  • Module is set up.
  • If the user wants to open the door, password is required.
  • If the password is valid, the door opens for 5 seconds and then it closes automatically.
  • If the password is invalid, the door remains closed.
  • In order to change the password as per the user’s convenience, the password entered must be valid and then the user must press ‘D’, it asks for current password and then asks for new password.
  • Next, It starts sensing the MQ2 Sensor data and if the value exceeds the threshold value, then the buzzer strats beeping.
  • Code is given below:
  • #include <Keypad.h>
    
    
    #include <LiquidCrystal.h>
