This device is design to monitor and control electrical devices (Analog and Digital) remotely using GSM modem/phone. The GSM modem provides the communication mechanism between the user and the arduino system by means of SMS messages.
User can control multiple electrical devices by sending suitably formatted SMS message to the arduino based control system. These SMS commands are interpreted by arduino system and are validated. If the SMS command received is valid then it takes the necessary action to control the said devices.
This system also continuously monitors the status of devices connected to it. If the status of any critical device changes from ON to OFF or vice versa, then arduino based system automatically sends the SMS alerts back to user. After completion of the command implementation this system sends the confirmation messages back to the calling user. The major building blocks of this project are:

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Initially communication was done by travelling from kilometre to kilometre to deliver messages but now the trend involves talking to people even when they are far away around the globe even to the extent of seeing them using the present day 3G technologies. Now mobile phones can be used to trigger their greatest revolution: by allowing us to run our homes remotely. If you are heading home early on a sunny day to your house driving through traffic in Lagos, your mobile phone can be used to switch on your central air conditioner at the touch of a keypad or even turn on your water heater system on a cold night preparing yourself for a warm shower. Fitted to a kitchen wall, the unit will communicate with tiny transponders attached to air conditioners, fridges, washing machines, microwave ovens and household appliances.
This paper presents design and construction of a arduinobased electrical appliances controlling system using cell phone. A cell (mobile) phone acts as a modem for the control of electrical home appliances. This is achieved when the mobile phone number is dialed and an appropriate command button is pressed. The paper demonstrates how to develop a system that aids the control of remote devices using mobile phones to enable devices without infrared though connected to power sources to be controlled and considering the possibility of users to monitor the status and usage of these devices. It makes use of a programmable interface controller (PIC) to control the switching of the output. This design is customized as a central device for four pieces of home appliances using relay to activate each of the respective electronic gadgets.
1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
The objective of this project is to enable users to remotely control their home appliances and systems using a cell phone-based interface. To access the control unit, the user should send an authentication code along with the required/desired function/action to his/her home control system via GSM. Upon being properly authenticated, the cell phone-based interface at home (control unit) would relay the commands to a arduino that would perform the required function/action, and return a function completion code that would be sent to the source of the original command (user’s cell phone).
1.3 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
This device allows for a user to remotely control and monitor multiple home appliances using a cellular phone. This system will be a powerful and flexible tool that will offer this service at any time, and from anywhere with the constraints of the technologies being applied. Possible target appliances include (but are not limited to) climate control systems, security systems, and lights; anything with an electrical interface.
The proposed approach for designing this system is to implement a arduino -based control module that receives its instructions and commands from a cellular phone over the GSM network. The arduino then will carry out the issued commands and then communicate the status of a given appliance or device back to the cellular phone. For security purposes, a means of identification and user authentication will be implemented, and will combine caller identification with a password authorization.
The control system will include two separate units: the cellular phone, and the control unit. There will therefore be two operating environments. The cellular phone will operate indoors and outdoors whereas the control unit will operate indoors within the temperature and humidity limits for proper operation of the hardware.
1.5 LIMITATIONS OF THE PROJECTThe following is a list of limitations for the project.
The receiver must reside in a location where a signal with sufficient strength can be received from a cellular phone network.
The only person who can communicate with the control module is the person who will be successfully authenticated.
Only devices with electrical controlling input ports will be possible targets for control.
The controlled devices will have I/O ports that will make communication with the receiver possible.
The receiver must have a power source (220vac) attached at all times.
Operation of the controlling unit is only possible through a cell phone with SMS messaging capabilities.
The controlling unit must be able to receive and decode SMS messages.
1.6 PROBLEMS AND ASSUMPTIONS OF THE PROJECT
The following is a list of problems and assumptions for the project;
The user and control unit will establish communication via GSM.
The cell phone and service provider chosen will support text messaging service.
The user is familiar with the text messaging program on their cell phone.
All service charges from service provider apply.
The controlled appliances will have to have an electrical interface in order to be controlled by arduino.
1.7 APPLICATIONS OF THE PROJECT
This project can be used in Industries, This system can be employed in houses, where people often forget to switch off electrical appliances. This system can be used to control AC’s to set the room temperature when we are outside. We can extend this circuit to control many electrical devices with some modifications using 4 x16 decoder IC. This work is aimed toward average consumers who wish to control household appliances remotely from their cell phones provided that the appliances are electrically controllable. Example of feasible appliances and applications under consideration include; enable/disable security systems, fans, lights, kitchen appliances, and adjusting the temperatures settings of a heating/ventilation/air conditioning system.

1.11 OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT
Initially communication was done by travelling from kilometre to kilometre to deliver messages but now the trend involves talking to people even when they are far away around the globe even to the extent of seeing them using the present day 3G technologies. Now mobile phones can be used to trigger their greatest revolution: by allowing us to run our homes remotely. If you are heading home early on a sunny day to your house driving through traffic in Lagos, your mobile phone can be used to switch on your central air conditioner at the touch of a keypad or even turn on your water heater system on a cold night preparing yourself for a warm shower. Fitted to a kitchen wall, the unit will communicate with tiny transponders attached to air conditioners, fridges, washing machines, microwave ovens and household appliances. Computer chips and digital networks are now so cheap, we can use them where we want, and kitchens and utility rooms are just perfect for "intelligent" improvements. Japan is already transforming domestic life through its new I-mode mobile phone that can take and transmit pictures. One unexpected use includes the ability to buy Coca-Cola cans without handing over cash. Just pass your phone in front of a scanner on one of several hundred I-mode automated vendors in Japan and your credit card account will be debited in exchange for a chilled can of Coke [4].
Controlling device using switches are common. From a few decades, controlling devices using remote control switches like infrared remote control switch, wireless remote control switch, light activated switches are becoming popular. But these technologies have their own limitations. Laser beams are harmful to mankind. Some technologies like infra-red (IR) remote control are used for short distance applications. In such case, if we have system which does not require any radiations or which is not harmful, and cannot travel for a long distance. Hence the need to design and construct a project circuit that does not require any radiations, any laser beam which has no limitation of range, therefore it can be used from any distance ranging from metres to thousands of kilometres using a simple telephone line or mobile phone. This justifies the need to automate and control the home appliances via the use of mobile phone.
Home automation is a modern technology that gives home owners the ability to take charge and control of the devices placing security and convenience in their homes even when they are not physically at home. Imagine a situation where one is not sure if one turns off an electrical appliance on rushing out of home. One can use an enabled home automation system to confirm the suspicion and turns off the appliance from one’s present location
CHAPTER FIVE
5.1 CONCLUSION
The various methods of designing automated home appliances were adopted in this paper. However, various components were designed and tested separately and collectively to ensure it does meet the specification of the end-users by avoiding the incident of fire outbreak as a result of failure to switch off the electronic gadgets which may get burnt when there is slight power surge. This makes the control of all home appliances to be easy to deal with as against the manual way...
