Home automation system is increasingly used due to the wide manufacturer brands and various available technologies. From a social point of view, residents are admitted to smart homes for comfort, luxury, improving quality of live, and for providing security against intrusion and burglars. In the era of IoT, it is possible to connect to the things around us so that we can access anything at any time and any place in a user friendly manner with economical operation and enhanced efficiency. Automation of the devices, appliances at home and office is having wide scope of research with the advancement of technology in communication era. Misuse of power energy can be curtailed by automating the devices and appliances. Mobile communication and internet are playing a big role in the field of automation. Android phones are powered with application programs to automate the required devices. This study focused to automate the home appliances using the Bluetooth,IR Remote and manual switching for controlling of connected equipment from short range while using internet for controlling of equipment from longer ranges. The status of the devices is linked to the local internet to enable the graphical user interface (GUI) for device monitoring. KEYWORDS: Home Automation, IoT, Bluetooth, IR. I. INTRODUCTION The rapid growth of wireless communication motivated us to use mobile communication and internet to remotelycontrol various equipment connected to a particular switch board. In this paper we describe a remote appliance control board which can control different household appliances by sending the response of the user from remote location via the internet. The microcontroller would then control and device based on the information given to it. The proposed solution will need to be easy to use, simple, secure, robust and be useful for the wide area of users. This project named “SECA” is basically the alternative of the traditional switch boards which only allows the user to operate connected equipment by means of manual switching. “SECA” board looks like similar to the traditional switch but will provide advance functionality including the controlling of equipment from any possible distance wirelessly via internet, Bluetooth and IR signals from IR remote. It is aimed to make the controlling of the equipment more easy by providing various way to operate the equipment as per the comfort of the user. It also accounts various security features which makes it a safer and advanced replacement of the traditional board. The main concept behind the project is to improve efficiency of power consumption along with making the controlling of equipment more comfortable.
