Design and implementation of touchscreen and remote control based home automation system

Abstract

Home automation needs to make use of modern technologies to reduce human efforts as well as save energy. This paper focuses on the development of an embedded system for home automation system that use standard remote controller, temperature, humidity and touch screen as a user input device. The inconvenience in controlling the home devices has been solved by this home automation system. In this proposed home automation system different attractive features are combined together which is not found very often in other home automation system. This offers a low cost, complete and efficient system for remote operation of a room. Furthermore, this system can be applied to control all kinds of appliances automatically installed within buildings, companies, schools, hospitals and so on.
