HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM BASED ON BLUETOOTH

Abstract

Significant change in the world of consumer electronics has been seen over the last decade. The notion of a smart house is meant to be achieved by numerous 'intelligent' gadgets such as mobile phones, air-conditioners, home monitoring systems, home theatres, etc. In home settings, they have built a Personal Area Network where all these systems can be integrated and controlled using a single controller. In home automation and networking, busy families and individuals with physical disabilities constitute an appealing market. It would be ideal to provide a wireless home network that does not incur extra wiring costs. A perfect approach for this purpose is Bluetooth technology, which originated in the late 1990s. This paper discusses the use of Bluetooth technologies in the area for home automation and networking. A network that includes a central mobile host controller and many client modules is proposed (home appliances). The client modules connect via Bluetooth devices with the host controller.
