Abstract
The use of modern technologies for control and monitoring and accessing devices in domestic or industrial buildings with convenience, comfortable and easy access from any location is the primary aim of the internet of things (IoT) technology for smart home automation. Complete Smart home automation, with overall control from any place at any time is still not fully available. Nevertheless, this work proposes a mobile application system for smart homes, with the purpose of overall monitoring and control of home appliances and devices. The proposed method is based on Zigbee, Arduino and Bluetooth for wireless communication among devices in the home. At the same time, a mobile application is used for the control and monitoring of the devices or appliances. In this study, Zigbee and Bluetooth are combined in order to establish efficient communication either within or outside the home premises. A user scenario of the proposed work was simulated using Proteus Simulation software to validate the practicability of the new system.
