Summary:
This article is to make an android controlled Home. It will help you in building an android controlled
Home appliances without any experience in android app development by providing you the free
android app. This app consists of touch controlling interface of your Home appliances. It is simple to
start with downloading the app to your phone/tablet and start building your control circuit by
following below steps.
Description:
Prerequisites & Equipment:
You are going to need the following:
1. An

Arduino

Board

or

Arduino

clone(Here

is

guide

if

you

need

(http://www.engineersgarage.com/embedded/arduino/cloningarduino) )
2. A 5v TTL UART Bluetooth module.
3. Relays and its Driving circuits.
4. Arduino IDE for the programming.

Working Principle:
This Project includes two distinct parts, hardware control circuit and the android application. The
communication between the Control circuit and the android application is carried over by the
Bluetooth link between the phones Bluetooth and the Bluetooth device in the control circuit. The
ASCII commands are sent from the phone to the Robot which in turn checked by the Arduino for the
turning ON or OFF of the particular device.
Application Design:

ANDROIDBASEDHOMEAUTOMATIONSYSTEM

The Android app developers generally use JAVA language, but this Android app can also build without
knowing the Java language. This app was developed in the online Development Environment which is
developed by MIT called App Inventor. This app inventor is specially designed for Non programmers
those who dont know the JAVA language. The app shown below has buttons and all the buttons
gives different bytes in the output that has to be sent to the Arduino using Bluetooth for
processing.

If you want to edit the application according to your use, here project file of the Application. You
can upload this project and utilize it.
EG_Home.aia. (http://www.engineersgarage.com/sites/default/files/EG_Home.aia)

Hardware assembly:
Make the circuit as is given by the circuit diagram. Make the circuit with your selected parts and
connect the motors to the circuit. Optocouplers are used to safeguard the Arduino from High voltage
risks.
Note: RX of Arduino should be connected to TX of Bluetooth module and TX of Arduino should be
connected to RX of Bluetooth module.

Loading software for Arduino:

If
you
are
new
to
Arduino
you
can
start
with
here
(http://www.engineersgarage.com/embedded/arduino/gettingstartedwith
arduino) . You have to start with the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
from Arduino (http://arduino.cc/en/main/software) . Download the code from below
link and upload it to the Arduino board.
PLEASE NOTE : SINCE THE BLUETOOTH MODULE IS CONNECTED TO THE SERIAL PINS OF THE
ARDUINO, THE MODULE SHOULD BE REMOVED OR POWERED OFF WHILE UPLOADING THE CODE TO
THE ARDUINO. THE MODULE CAN BE CONNECTED ONCE THE UPLOAD IS COMPLETED.

Screenshot of Arduino code :

Downloading the android application and setting up the Bluetooth:
To download the android application to your phone, download the application file from below link
and copy the apk file to your phone and then install it. Check whether Allowing installation of non
Market apps in one of the settings tab is checked with tick mark. Once you have installed the
application, the next step is to connect with your Bluetooth module from your phone. For this, you
need to power the Arduino and Bluetooth module and then turn ON the Bluetooth on your phone
and make it visible to other devices. After that, search for new devices in Bluetooth, you can find
your Bluetooth module from the list, enter the pairing code which is usually 1234 or 0000when
prompted .

Application

Download

Note the name of your device , in this case it is HC06. After pairing with the robot, go to the
EGHOME application and touch the Bluetooth button to select the paired device now the color of
the Bluetooth button will be changed for a successful connection. After that the phone will get
connected to your control circuit, and by clicking the respective buttons, the lights will be ON
respectively
