Previously home automation are very complicated based on hardware. Thus it is difficult to maintain Factors like security, reliability, usefulness, robustness and price. Now a days it consist of touchscreen which easy to use. Now that human and computer interaction has been developed into a more wide and sophisticated field., designing and operating of intelligence system has been more user friendly than ever. Home automation is a system that helps a user to operate switching various appliances and lighting devices from a single input. The touch screen used as input is much simpler to operate. Touch screen has been widely accepted as the most comfortable input to be provided to the user. Not only they are easy to operate but they also give a sense of personal involvement which the user always appreciate. Key Words: Touch screen, GSM, Zig-Bee, Microcontroller, Sensors 1. INTRODUCTION Now a days, as rapid growth of technologies to reduce the human efforts. Home automation is one of the technology which is used to controlling as well as monitoring household appliances. There are different technologies to controlling by home automation using Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Android, Raspberry pi etc.As Technology is advancing so houses getting smarter. In our system ,as in automation GSM used for reducing complexity of automation.GSM and Zig-Bee used as wireless communication in Homes to control all Home appliances in home.control access used command for better access[2].Next paper is on the home automation using Zigbee, in that they mainly focused on: 1. Wi-fi based home automation: The component of the system will always be connected. A. Wi-Fi: 1. Each User must have a User ID and password 2. There is only one Administrator. Server must always run under windows system. There should be Internet connection available. 3. Efficient use of Hardware and Software is user friendly. B. Bluetooth: Low cost but range problem so they use ARM 9. C. Zigbee: This system has attractive features such as SMS-Email notifications. In this perspective,ZigBee is emerging network technology as a wireless communication standard that is capable to satisfy such requirements. 2. LITERATURE SURVEY
