Design and Development of a Simple Low-cost Touchscreen to Control Home Automation System

Abstract

Hu man and co mputer interaction has been developed into a wide and sophisticated field.Earlier automating electrical devices were absolutely mechanical.But with the invention of co mputer system, many co mputer researchers have tried to create computer based intelligent systems to accomplish many of their functionalit ies.Touchscreen controlled home automation system is one of them.These fascinating efforts to create intelligent systems are to provide human being a mo re convenient life.Moreover, it would accelerate the working speed of users.This paper concentrates primarily on experimental experiences on home automation system with a low-cost touchscreen technology.The proposed system provide an environment in wh ich user can give commands by touching desired position on the touchscreen to automate the control of electrical devices.The interfacing circu it is designed using electronic components available in local market to keep the cost at low level.
