About the Cover

The automation of home has become important in order to minimize the consumption of electrical energy and for the safety of the home in terms of home appliances. This paper looks at the complete automation of one bed room apartment, where each appliance can be controlled using few switch (five switches) and all the appliances to be controlled will be displayed on a GLCD. The key pad section which is mobile is designed with five switches and a display connected to a microcontroller, and any appliance to be controlled will be searched for, be it in either connected or discounted state. The static section will be at home to control the appliance requested by the remote section (user) to either turn ON or OFF the appliance. The mobile section comprises of PIC18f microcontroller that gets input from five switches (up, down, fwd, bck and menu).
