Objective Project Details
Choosing the micro-controller and developing the ISP circuit/programming circuit for the same. Developing the logic. Developing the interfacing circuit for the sensors & the relays to control the final elements. Development of remote control unit.
Objective
The project is aimed to design a home automation system for domestic purpose. The finished product will have the following features: The finished product will have 2 modes of operation Automatic & Manual. Automatic mode of operation will make use of inputs from sensors to switch on/off electrical devices. Manual mode will allow the user to control the features at own will by using a remote control device. The product will produce a smart home that will maximize the efficiency in use of resources and save the resource from being wasted. The product is an attempt to introduce the advantages and comfort of an automated system at domestic level.
Project details
The product will have these following basic features:Automatic mode The systems will be able to sense the following parameters 1. Presence of light; 2. Temperature; & 3. Presence of people. Depending on the values of these sensors the system will control a light and a fan in a room. Manual mode All the sensors will be turned to just monitoring devices to monitor the parameters and the control will be left entirely on the user. The user will have a remote device which will give him/her the details of the parameter and buttons to control the light and fan. The system will have a master switch will give the user an option to switch back to the traditional mode of controlling the lights and fans and bypass the whole automation system.
Choosing the micro-controller and developing the ISP circuit/programming circuit for the same.
Micro-controller chosen: AVR Reasons: 1) Easily available; 2) ISP circuit easy to develop; 3) In-built ADC which might be required to accept inputs from the sensors; 4) Popular all over the world, forums and groups readily available for help; & 5) IC has a very high tolerance; it doesnt get burned out to easily.

Developing the interfacing circuit for the sensors & the relays to control the final elements.
The interfacing circuits are one of the most important parts of the project. 1) Light sensors Circuit diagram
The interfacing of the relays are important and should be done carefully to avoid hazards as the source will be an live AC source and the any simple mistake may lead to bigger accidents. A SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) Relay is to be used. But to integrate it to the domestic circuits we must understand the arrangement of the domestic circuits being used today.
Below is give the 2 circuit diagrams: 1: The present domestic circuits. 2: The planed circuit with relay.
Both the Controlling unit and the RC will have separate AVR controllers for processing. The controller in the RC will act as the slave and that in the Main controlling unit will be the master. A wireless protocol will be defining the mode of communication between the 2. The RC will have the following feature: 1. On/Off switch for light and fan. 2. LCD display showing the parameters like temperature, number of people.

Interfacing the communication system with the AVR. The mode of communication being RF, CC2500 is chosen as the device to be integrated in the system to provide it with the wireless communication protocol. The chip is available in a certain module and that module still need a break-out board to interface with the AVR. The complexity of the circuits is far beyond our reach so a readily available module will be purchased. The final purchased board may look like this.
