2. ABSTRACT
The main objective of this project is to develop a home automation system with Android application controlled remote.
Remote controlled home automation system provides a simpler solution with Android application technology.
Remote operation is achieved by any smart-phone/Tablet etc., with Android OS, upon a GUI (Graphical User Interface) based touch screen operation.

6. ARDUINO
The Arduino microcontroller is an easy to use yet powerful single board computer that has gained considerable traction in the hobby and professional market.
The Arduino is open-source, which means hardware is reasonably priced and development software is free.

8. Features of Duemalinove
The Duemalinove board features an Atmel ATmega328 microcontroller operating at 5 V with 2 Kb of RAM, 32 Kb of flash memory for storing programs and 1 Kb of EEPROM for storing parameters.
The clock speed is 16 MHz, which translates to about executing about 300,000 lines of C source code per second

9. …..contd
The Arduino programming language is a simplified version of C/C++. If you know C, programming the Arduino will be familiar.
If you do not know C, no need to worry as only a few commands are needed to perform useful functions.

10. What is called Android..?
Android is an open-source operating system which means that any manufacturer can use it in their phones free of charge.
It was built to be truly open. For example, an application can call upon any of the phone’s core functionality such as making calls, sending text messages, or using the camera. 

11. …….contd
Android is built on the open Linux Kernel. Furthermore, it utilizes a custom virtual machine that was designed to optimize memory and hardware resources in a mobile environment.

12. What is an android application on mobile phones?
An android app is meant for phones with an android based operating systems. They can be downloaded from the android app Market which is pre-loaded on every android phone.
Blue control APP and Bluetooth Spp APP are some examples.

13. Android-The world's most powerful mobile platform
Very customizable. Open source operating system is easily changed, hacked, manipulated, and molded to fit whatever functionality you had in mind. Found on all platforms for all prices depending on what hardware and software version you are interested in. The battery is usually replaceable.

14. COMPARISION OF ANDROID WITH OTHER OS
ANDROID OS : Android is open source software, manufacturers can modify the operating system to suit their respective needs and phones. This becomes a cheap and feasible alternative for the manufacturer, as opposed to developing an operating system in-house or hiring a software company to do it.

15. i-OS:
It's not available on all carriers but this is expanding. The battery is not replaceable which is why all the I Phone users you know have it plugged in all the time as the battery degrades.

16. Windows Phone:
Windows Phone is a closed-sourced, which means that it is solely developed by the company and protected by copyright. The Windows Store is limited as there only a few number of apps

18. ANDROID APPLICATION OPERATED BLUETOOTH
The Android platform includes support for the Bluetooth network stack, which allows a device to wirelessly exchange data with other Bluetooth devices.
The application framework provides access to the Bluetooth functionality through the Android Bluetooth APIs.

20. FEATURES OF BLUETOOTH
Super simple and easy way to interface using Bluetooth stack.
3.3V Device with standard 5V DC Power source.
Can also support SPI Protocol, pins are made available.
Low power consumption, Low cost.
Has high-performance wireless transceiver system
Can be used to interface with PC, Mac or Android phones/tablets.

21. Generic Default Visibility at Software side:HC-06 or Linvor
Default Pairing code is not '0000' but '1234'.
Please use Baud Rate with 8-N-1 connectivity from other device.
Works with any microcontroller with Serial connectivity.

22. BC547 (NPN –Transistor)
The BC547 transistor is an NPN Epitaxial Silicon Transistor.
It is used in general-purpose switching and amplification BC847/BC547 series 45 V, 100 mA NPN general-purpose transistors.
The ratio of two currents (Ic/Ib) is called the DC Current Gain of the device and is given the symbol of hfe or nowadays Beta, (β).

23. The current gain from the emitter to the collector terminal, Ic/Ie, is called Alpha, (α), and is a function of the transistor itself

24. Opto-isolator Opto-coupler MOC3061/63 an LED SCR type combination.
Opto coupler is a 6 pin IC.
Additionally while using this IC with microcontroller and one LED can be connected in series with IC LED to indicate when high is given from micro controller such that we can know that current is flowing in internal LED of the opto-IC.
When logic high is given current flows through LED from pin 1 to 2 .So in this process LED light falls on SCR causing 6 & 4 to close only at the zero cross of the supply voltage.

25. Contd….
During each half cycle current flows through scr gate, external series resistor and through opto-scr for the main thyristor / triac to trigger for the load at the beginning of the supply cycle always to operate.

26. Software requirements
Arduino software which can be freely available on Arduino Forum

27. Advantages
Arduino open hardware-simplest programming language
Cost of finding location of the fault reduces
Complexity in finding the fault reduces
Disadvantages
Showing limited distance on kit
showing the faults at the 1KM radius
