INTRODUCTION
The rapid development in science and technology has paved its way for sophistication by automation. People now a days, are inclined towards devices that are sophisticated, simpler to use and secure. In this project entitled “Home Appliances Control using Different Controlling Modes “, a prototype is developed which shows how the best utilization of technology can be made in order to secure a home not only from threat but also by ensuring all the safety measures. The project also throws light on the sophistication of the house by monitoring and controlling the devices using RF and VOICE technologies. The main motto of the project is to ensure complete safety and automate all the devices. This is done by interfacing all the devices to a PIC microcontroller”PIC16F84A”. Apart from alerting the user regarding threats a feature is provided where the user can monitor and control all the devices such as tube lights, fans, air conditioners, refrigerators etc. whenever there is a power cut the user is immediately intimated.
A home appliance control system (HACS) is a system which provides various services to remotely operate on home appliances, such as microwave oven, TV, and garage door etc through remote devices such as mobile phone, desktop and palm-top. This project is designed to make home automation easy to control when a user is not at home. The project is designed to allow easy use of a RF and VOICE modes to control appliances in the home. Using a RF and VOICE modes the development of the control system will be carried out. These modes will communicate to control the devices attached to microcontroller modules. When the action has been carried out then a response is sent to the user. The project involves three main areas, research, development\programming, testing and the writing of the report.
The Home appliance control system is controlled by using RF and VOICE modes. It controls various appliances such as a
