Electrical Appliances Control Prototype by Using GSM Module and Arduino

Abstract

The development of remote control technology has grown rapidly along with the development of communication technology nowadays. The simplest communication technology available is by using GSM protocol. In this paper, a prototype of electric appliance control tool via SMS by using GSM is proposed. GSM protocol was chosen because it does not depend on mobile devices platform. GSM SIM 900 and Arduino for controlling a relay module were utilized here. Relay module worked in accordance with orders given through SMS and the mobile device then received the feedback of the command. For testing purpose, ten (10) different types of input string as a command control was proceed. Relay worked according to orders sent from the input string submitted and feedback messages from the command given previously was provided.

Existing System

Home Automation System.

Proposed System

In this paper a prototypes of electric appliance control with via SMS using GSM protocol was proposed. A prototype to control electrical appliance via SMS using GSM SIM module 900 and Arduino is developed. Controlling is done by a relay module via SMS controller. In addition, the controller also sends status messages from the relays. Electrical equipment settings via SMS was design in order to make the setting does not depend on specific platform of mobile devices.
