Home Appliance Automation using Arduino Microcontroller with GSM
and Bluetooth via Android Application

Neil Mark N. Agapito and Jose Nerwin F. Banez

Cavite State University – Trece Martires City Campus, Cavite

The device was developed to automate home appliances using Arduino
microcontroller and helped to save electricity bill by monitoring the real-time
status of home appliances and lights at home using wireless technology. This

project specifically aimed to design and developed a simultaneous automation
system using the following hardware materials such as Arduino mega
microcontroller, Global system for mobile communication (GSM) module,
Bluetooth module, 6 set of 5 Volts relay, 16x2 with Inter-Integrated Circuit
(I2C) liquid crystal display panel, 1 Globe Long – Term Evolution (LTE)

nano simcard and a 12V power supply with 5 Volts stepdown buck converter.
C++ Programming language for Arduino and Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) App inventor 2 for Android app programming. Test and
improve the capability of the device and evaluate the performance using the
evaluation instrument of Cavite State University – Trece Martires City
Campus adapted from ISO 25010 software quality model. The researchers
used 4 th Generation technique in developing the device by requirements

gathering, it includes the data gathering on the background study for the target
end users. The researchers used fishbone diagrams to identify the problems
being encountered in operating their home appliances. They underwent an
evaluation and prototype testing from 50 respondents including 40 Home
owners in selected areas of Cavite and 10 Information Technology Professionals.

The device was tested and evaluated and got the mean of excellent performance.
In addition, it is highly recommended that the device should have a fuse to filter
high voltage current rate in order to protect certain home appliances and must
have a slave bluetooth module in order to have multiple user to control
appliance simultaneously via android application also for the GSM function and
the module should be 1.3 miles from the base tower station in order for the
GSM to function well and get a good signal reception.
