Implementation of Smart Homes and Industrial Automation System with Secure Communication over GSM

Home automation is method of controlling our house hold appliances, updating the status of lights, fans, motors and other appliances through any remote control device or mobile phones. Their ON/OFF status can be changed according to our desire. On the other hand, in present time, smart phones including android and iPhones are great inventions of technology. The awkwardness of hanging out along with a dedicated remote control device or texting an SMS for the automation purpose has always brought lake of interest in the user's mind towards using such systems. Therefore, in this activity we are introducing a smart home and industrial automation and surveillance system in which we control our appliances through an application installed in our smart phone which uses the available Global System for Mobile (GSM) features from any remote location within our planet, subject to the availability of GSM network. In other words the cumbersome of carrying dedicated separate remote control device and texting the SMS has been eliminated. For surveillance purpose, we used a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) camera, which uploads the picture or video streaming instantly in any website or sends it to the personal computer system. On the other hand the same purpose can be achieved by using any available software which could help communicating from any end station to PC. Each of these ideas is discussed in great detail in the paper. The proposed system is low in cost and we can reinstall it in any other location by only minor changes in its core. The proposed research work is very helpful for the layman and also to make life more comfortable and luxurious.
