Abstract – In the world of automation we want our daily
life to be controlled remotely. The aim of the project is
controlling of home appliances remotely when the user is
away from the place. This is SMS based system anduseruses
wireless technology (GSM).ThesystemusesGSMtechnology
thus providing universally access to the system for
automated appliance control.8051 Micro Controller is the
vital component of this project. The main objective of this
project is to investigate controlling of home appliances
remotely and cost effectively. The motivation was to
facilitate the users to automate their homeshaving remotely
universal access. The home appliances control system with
an effective cost was thought to be built that should be
mobile providing remote access controlling scheme to
the appliances.
This work includes the study of GSM modem using
sensors device . GSM network users have roamingfacilities
so that user can often continue to use the mobile phones
when they travel to other countries etc.

1. INTRODUCTION
Monitor and control the house or office appliances and
equipments effectively through the mobile phone set by
sending Commands in the form of SMS messages and
receiving the devices status. The main concept behind this
project is receiving the sent SMS and furtherprocessingit as
required to perform several operations. The nature of the
SMS sent decides the type of operation. The project is based
on a very simple principle. First, the SMS sent is stored and
collected from the receiving mobile station and then the
required control signal is generated and sent to the
intermediate hardware that we have designed according to
the command received from the sent message.
A microcontroller based using SMS system has been
proposed for our project. GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communications): It is a cellular communication standard.
SMS (Short Message Service): it is a service available on
digital mobile phones that permits the sending of short text
messages (text messaging service).

(PEROM).
Fig -1: Micro Controller AT89S51/52
The device is manufactured by nonvolatile memory
technology with high-density and is compatible with the
industry-standard MCS-51 instruction set and pin out. The
on-chip Flash allows the program memory to be
reprogrammed or by using a conventional nonvolatile
memory programmer. Bycombininga versatileadaptable 8-
bit CPU with Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89xxx
is a most powerful microcomputer which provides a cost-
effective and highly-flexible solution to all embedded
control applications
1.2 ULN2003A (Relay driver IC)
The ULN2003 is high current, high voltageDarlingtonarrays
each containing seven open collector pairs.
Fig -2: Relay Driver IC
All Darlington pairs have common emitters. Each channel
rated at 500 mA and can withstand the peak currents of 600
mA. Suppression diodes are included for inductive driving
load and the inputs are attached with pin opposite the
outputs to simplify board layout. These modern versatile
devices are very useful for driving a wide range of loads

including solenoids, relays DC motors;LEDdisplaysfilament
lamps, thermal printer heads and high power buffers.
1.3 Crystal Oscillator
A crystal oscillator is a main electronic circuit that uses the
mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal which is a
piezoelectric material to create an electrical signal with a
very precise frequency. This frequency provides a stable
clock signal for digital integrated circuits and is commonly
used to keep track of time (as in quartz)and to stabilize
frequencies for radio transmitters/receivers.

1.4 GSM Modem
GSM Modem can connect to any GSM network operator SIM
card and it acts just like a mobile phone having its own
unique mobile number. Usage of this modem has more
advantage as its RS232 port canbeusedtocommunicateand
to develop embedded applications.ApplicationssuchasSMS
Control, data transfer, remote control and logging can be
easily developed.
The modem can connected either to serial portofPCdirectly
or to any microcontroller. It can be used for sending and
receiving SMS or for making/receiving voice calls. It also
uses in GPRS mode to connect to internet and do many
applications linked to data logging and control. In GPRS
mode modem can also be connected to any remote FTP
server and can upload files for data logging.GSM modem is a
highly flexible plug and it plays quad band GSM modem for
simple and direct integration to RS232 applications.It
supports features like Voice, SMS, Data/Fax, GPRS and
integrated

1.5 LM7805 (3 TERMINAL VOLTAGE REGULATER)
Fig -5: Three Terminal Voltage Regulator
This is used for making the voltage stable at +5V for circuits.
The LM7805 is three terminal positive regulators. These are

available in the package of TO-220 and with several fixed
output voltages, which makes them useful in a wide range of
applications. Each type engages internal current limiting,
thermal shut downandsafe operatingarea protection, which
makes it essentially indestructible. They can deliver over 1A
output current by providing adequateheatsinking.Although
it designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators it has many
importance, for more information please refer Data sheet 0f
LM7805.
1.6 MAX232
The MAX232 is an IC that converts signals from RS-232
serial port to suitable signals for use in TTL compatible
digital logic circuits. The MAX232 is a dual driver orreceiver
and typically it converts the RX, TX, CTS and RTSsignals.The
drivers provide RS-232 voltage level outputs (approx. ± 7.5
V) from a single + 5 V supply via on-chip charge pumps and
external capacitors.

1.7 SPDT RELAY – 12V
It closes the less point voltage contact while the remote
control works to control the equipment outside. The relay
takes advantage of the fact that it becomes an electromagnet
,when electrical current flows through it. The
electromagnetic coil attracts a steel plate, which is attached
to a switch. So the motion of the switch (ON and OFF) is
controlled by the current flowing to the coil, or not,
respectively. The most useful feature of a relay is that it can
be used to electrically isolate different parts of a circuit. It
will allow a low voltage circuit i.e. 5V dc to switch over the
power in a high voltage circuit i.e.230Vacormore.Therelay
operates mechanically, so it cannot operate at high speed.

2. About SMS (Short Message Service)
Short Message Service (SMS) is a text messaging service
important component of any phone, web, or mobile
communication systems. By using standardized
communication protocols itallowstheexchangeofshort text
messages between mobile phone devices. SMS used for text
messaging is the most widely used data application
SMS is used on modern handsets was originated from radio
telegraphy in radio memo-pagers by using standardized
phone protocols and later it defined as thepartoftheGlobal
System for Mobile Communications (GSM) as a mean of
sending messages of up to 160 characters, to and from GSM
mobile handsets. Since then, support for this service has
been expanded to include other mobile technologies such as
ANSI CDMA networks and Digital AMPS, with satellite and
landline networks. MostSMS messagesaremobile-to-mobile
text messages though the standard supports of mobile
network.
3. CONCLUSIONS
The project we have undertaken has helped us to gain a
better perspective on various aspects related to our course
of study as well as the practical knowledge of electronic
equipments and communication. From the convenience ofa
mostly used simple cell phone, a user is able to control and
monitor virtually any electrical devices. This makes it
possible for users to assured that their belongings are
secure and that the TV and other electrical appliances was
not left running when they left the house to just list a few
of the many uses of this system. The final or end product
will have a simplistic design making it easy for users to
interact with. This will be essential because of the wide
range of Technical knowledge that industries have.
